Hi there! Sorry for the delay in replying, I wanted to mull over your comments for a bit :) And I did want to respond. Hope the essay went well :D

I actually became a Who fan because of Eccleston in Heroes, funnily enough. (Is it me or has he gained weight?)

I tend to skip the Niki/Hana/Ted-parts

I don't like writing them, to be perfectly honest :D If I could have reasonably written Niki out, I totally would have.

While on the subject of Jack, I am not very fond of him.

I was thinking when I introduced him that probably a lot of people wouldn't be. He IS an OC, after all. But while Claire does have a lot of really interesting relationships, none of them are romantic, and I wanted her to have something normal -- as normal as things ever are -- for a teenage girl. A boyfriend, or at any rate a suitor. I'm trying to keep Jack less than central, but I'm hoping what he will do is draw the canon characters further in -- interact with them, et cetera.

*the Ouran High School Host Club reference.

That was a totally cheesy and self-gratifying reference, you're right. I just couldn't resist :D

*Not enough Claire-Claude interaction

I'm really wary of this. It seems too easy for him to fall into a father-figure role, and she has two daddies already. There WILL be more, but I want to keep him on his toes -- I don't want him to immediately like her and want to spend time with her. Claude doesn't like people, on the whole.

*Claude let go of his collar and jerked his shoulder up, resettling the shirt over the scar.
This I liked because I could really "see" the motion,

I'm so glad you said that. I loved the mental image of that motion, so I wanted to convey it precisely.

I like this line, because it indicates that if Claude had stayed he would have become Claire's teacher

Absolutely. I think if Claude had still been in Claire's life, he would have been someone she could go to about this, and as soon as she did, he'd have started a ball in motion not only to teach her but also to conceal her. It'd make a great AU.

I really would like to see Claude as Claire's teacher, but unfortunately I don't think that that will happen as she has pretty much come to term with her powers.

I actually talk about this in one of the upcoming chapters -- Claude expounding on what he could do for Claire, if he did teach her. I don't think he'll be her teacher in the time I have left to post this fic, but it's something I envision for the future.

having Bennet shoot/shoot at him a few times on his own, as it otherwise wouldn't technically count as Bennet shooting him.

That was important to me. I didn't want to "whitewash" Bennet -- he did intend to shoot him.

And that this moment spawned the whole "People suck!" attitude that Claude has.

I think it did contribute to it, but Claude's attitude is too deeply ingrained -- I think he already had a great deal of that when he started with the Company.

*Claire and Mr Bennet meeting up again
*Claude-Mr Bennet interaction (that would totally rock)

Oh yes. It's written already. :D

Thank you for all this feedback, it was wonderful to read. And thanks for the link to the Disney fellowship! I will look into that.
