"Never again shall you thirst, for I am come to wet your mouth with wine and water, to quench your thirst with kisses. Words of Love from my own lips will serve as your oasis, and you shall never want for drink again."
These are some of my favourite Claire/Kaia stories I’ve read so far! I absolutely loved all of these, and some of them are really underrated, so go and check them out!
what’s missing is found (our souls can exhale now) by sobsicles (27K words) - A finale fix-it where Claire goes missing and Kaia and Dean go on a road-trip together to find her. I love Kaia’s characterisation in this, and it explores the parallels between Dreamhunter and Destiel really well.
graceful. by PorcelainCas (56K words) - set around early season 14. Claire wakes up in hospital to find that months have passed without her memory and Kaia is mysteriously still alive. This one’s got a really good plot, with lots of exciting twists and turns!
The Pieces We Pick Up by sobsicles (10K words) - A 14.03 coda and fix-it. Claire runs off to confront Dark Kaia, and Dean, Cas and the rest of them have to find her. Like every sobsicles fic, this one is brilliant and well worth reading!
I feel bad about doing self-promotion, but I am currently working on Butterfly Effect(Ongoing; 37K words so far), a finale fix-it where it’s up to Kaia and Claire to save Dean and Cas from their horrible canonical endings!
Moondust by sidesketches (AngelwingsandDemonthings) (4K words) - Reunion fic from Kaia’s POV. This one was an absolute joy to read - really touching and well-written!
buzzcut season by cherryvamp (1.5K words) - Claire helps Kaia cut her hair for her after a hunt. I absolutely love the way Claire and Kaia are portrayed in this, it’s definitely one of my favourites!
Look Into My Dreams by angelofthequeers (3.5K words) - Kaia comforts Claire after a nightmare and the two of them bond under the stars. This is one of my absolute favourites - it has such a good understanding of Claire & Kaia’s characters!
I’ll Be Home For Christmas by MittenWraith (3.5K words) - a Christmas story! Claire & Kaia get stranded in the snow on a hunt, and have to stay at the bunker over Christmas. This is a really wholesome, feel-good story!
Denim by xoxoMouse (2K words) - “The inherent protection of a denim jacket and the inherent vulnerability that comes with sharing it.” - another one I absolutely loved, it’s got a really good grasp on Claire’s backstory & feelings, and is really sweet at the same time!
Words of the Heart by Fandom_Stuff (2K words) - Claire comes out to Cas. This is just a really sweet and touching little fic!
On Being Careful by Shyspyder (7K words) - Claire and Kaia coffee-shop AU!
Accidentally Finding You by pherryt (3K words) - AU where Kaia is an author being treated badly at a book-signing where Claire’s dad works. Claire helps her to get her own back!
Wayward by Shyspyder (ongoing; 7K words so far) - Claire and Kaia are reunited after Kaia’s return from the Bad Place and go hunting werewolves together.
Bonus: these aren’t dreamhunter as they’re mostly Claire-focused, but they’re so good that they deserve to be on the list!
The Most Important Thing by NorthernSparrow (94K words)- Set during an alternate season 10; goes into the complex relationship between Claire and Castiel so well. No Kaia in this one obviously, but it’s the ultimate Claire fic for me and an absolute must-read if you’re a fan of her!
hope, love, glory by showedupatyourparty (14K words) - finale fix-it where Claire and Jack team up to save Dean and Cas. I have yet to read the last chapter, but I am loving this so far!
Sorry the list isn’t that long - Claire/Kaia fics are quite difficult to find (mostly because of AO3’s weird tagging system!). There are definitely a lot more out there though, so if anyone knows of any other good ones, let me know! I’ll update the list as I read more.
When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we’ll see No I won’t be afraid Oh, I won’t be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Im still full of spite and I actually miss drawing girls so have some DreamHunter (Ref used)
“Babe, I’m fine,” Kaia protested groggily (but only half-heartedly) as she felt the bed dip behind her and then the warmth of Claire’s chest against her back. “Besides, I don’t wanna get you sick.”
Claire snorted. “I was literally a werewolf for a day; I’m not afraid of some dumb flu.” Her arm wrapped around Kaia’s waist and squeezed. “Besides, I missed out on two years of this. Lots of lost time to make up. ”
Kaia felt herself smile into her pillow. It was still new, this thing between them, but it didn’t feel that way. In the two months since her return from the Bad Place, the initial attraction she’d felt for Claire had blossomed into something out of a dream, and for the first time in Kaia’s life, that wasn’t a bad thing. Now she slept peacefully more nights than not, what with no alternate realities left to dreamwalk to; and in the morning, she got to wake up next to Claire. It was the sort of quiet, feels-like-home happiness Kaia had never thought to actually have, but now that she had it, she wasn’t about to let it go.
She snuggled back against Claire, weaving their hands together. “I love you,” she murmured, and it was the first time either of them had actually said it, and it should’ve felt scary, but instead it just felt right.
Claire’s breath was soft and warm against her neck. “I love you too.” She pressed a kiss to the back of Kaia’s head. “Now go to sleep. I’ll protect you.”
