Re-reading this fic, occasionally out loud w/ @dont-rain-on-my-solangelo which has been a source of MUCH enjoyment for us both. ThOrOUghLy enjoying diving into this story again. GAHHHH, lo o o o ve Kevin + Neil + Jean's friendship. And the OG Foxes in this universe. Playing the songs Dear Nicky shares w/Neil in Ch. 10 which makes it even.more.fun. Great song choices @fuzzballsheltiepants! 💜

It's finally complete!

Paramedic Neil Josten has been lost since his mother died, moving from town to town, searching for something. He's not sure what. Himself, whatever that means. Or a life that won't keep shrinking in on itself. But after Kevin, his best friend from paramedic school, called and ordered him to move to South Carolina, Neil ends up with a new partner, a group of friends he can't avoid, and the local advice column he can't stop reading. He finds himself interested in the writer behind the column...

But then he meets Andrew who is weirdly good at everything, and maybe life is not so small after all.

Okay, so I am a nationally certified EMT, and it has come to my attention that a lot of fanfiction authors don’t know how to properly write them. And while I understand, that bugs me lmao. So if you’re ever writing about EMTs or Paramedics in a fanfiction or a story, or just in general, feel free to reach out and ask some question.

And if anyone is interested, I can just make a post about the things people get wrong the most.

I love your art style and the way you draw different body types and your username. Hello. Hi, just a fan. Also, do you have any favorite aftg fics?

🥹 THANK YOU!!! you're very kind!! ! i hope to get better at drawing different body types and i like my username too!!

i do have lots of fic recs, but i've been sitting on and incubating this ask for too long so here are just five that have been on my mind again most recently!

til death do us part by @alcego

We follow Neil's professional exy career, including the ups and downs, from beginning to end.

IF IT FEELS LIKE THIS FIC WAS MADE IN A LAB FOR ME IT'S BECAUSE IT WAS!! COMMISSIONED FROM THE BRILLIANT AJ :)) if you loved reading the games in the books u will looove this... sports-heavy outsider pov and media snippets, neil gets a concussion, andreil being odd and cute, kevin day is there. all is well in the world.

Signs of Life by moonix @annawrites

In which Kevin works the graveyard shift, Andrew is the witching hour cryptid, and Neil guards the ice-cream freezer.

if i were andrew i'd make out with neil in aisle ten too... kevin thinking about his breakfast sandwich and andrew needing to touch of the roots of his box blonde hair I LOVE YOUu....

burning with you by @seasy33

The crowd whistles and cheers. People on the dance floor start to pair together, pressing close and swaying. As the song really begins, Neil realizes he knows it and starts humming along, playing idly with the ring on Andrew's finger. Andrew's hand twitches. "You know this song." Neil nods against his shoulder, still humming. "You don't know who Aerosmith is, but you know Shania Twain." Neil shrugs. - Neil and Andrew go to a bar and end up sort-of serenading each other --with country songs. That's it, that's the fic

feral stick figure on all fours dot jpeg. whenever you're still the one or johnny and june come up on my spotify shuffle i think of this fic and my aura acquires a gentle pink glow. i love country music :)

Every Sinner Has A Future by OfficialStarsandGutters

Canon divergent Neil x Aaron. - Neil Josten. A shock of red hair and ocean blue eyes. Pretty faced, but nothing special. Except he makes a throwaway comment about Andrew being off his meds and it’s like everyone in the room forgets to breathe. Even Aaron, his body still and tense with surprise that he can tell them apart. Without even having met Aaron, he knew Andrew wasn’t him. That shouldn’t mean anything. Aaron rubs his sweaty palms on his skinny jeans and tells himself it doesn’t, it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

my fav rare pair and the fic ever for them 🥹 aaron minyard i've really come around to you and i'll even let you take my son out if you have him home by 10.

sunset, like survival by animediac @jaywalkers

The first time Neil dies is devastating. The second time is just as bad. The third time has them wondering if there’s a way out of this loop that doesn’t end with Neil dead. - Night, after night, after night. Baltimore isn't something that just happens once.

kandreil neil death time loop fic you are SO famous to me. on my mind again recently because róisín is very good at being a paramedic and knowing what really happens to the body when you are critically horribly injured, and i asked them what would happen if neil got hypothetically specifically tortured, and they did not let me down.

New 👑

WIP Wednesday 9/4/24 (Closed) | New Kings AU (8/20)

Neil almost wishes he got to see the dumb looks on their faces before they were melted off in the flashover as Neil threw a brick through the window of the sealed warehouse to introduce new oxygen.

Really Neil would have still considered it completely perfect as he and the rest of his mother’s family watch on as paramedics and police arrive and drag out the charred corpses of his father’s people. He feels especially pleased that Lola got to know what it was like to be burned.

No, the issue wasn’t his injuries.

The issue was his Mother’s family’s reaction to his injuries.

“We’re taking you home.” Amanda insists as she looks at him.

“That’s not the deal.” Neil scowls at her.

[ifitmeanslosingyouthenno]

is it heaven up there? (it's hell down here)

day 25 whumptober prompt: surgery | “it’s for your own good”

day 26 whumptober prompt: nightmares

it takes 3 hours and 16 minutes for the firefighters to put out the fire, remove the debris on top of fox tower enough to start pulling bodies

it takes another hour and 36 minutes for them to find neil

for them to take his body out of rubble, barely breathing, eyelids fluttering from where andrew sees him

he's too far away for andrew to check the damage, but his left arm is covered in soot and blood and blisters and

they won't let andrew near him, even if he struggles against the hands and the bodies

“sir it's dangerous for you to be hanging around here, i need to ask you to step away”

he hates talking to pigs, so he directs his focus to the firefighter

“i have to be there with him”

the firefighter looks towards neil following andrew’s gaze, “the redhead? do you know him?”

he grits his teeth so hard they feel like they're going to shatter

“his name is neil, he's my boyfriend”

her gaze softens, looking back at where the paramedics frantically check neil's eyes with a phone lamp, then back at the cops beside her, and finally back to andrew

“okay fine, i heard he's in pretty bad shape, you can ride with him on the ambulance”

he doesn't wait for any more acknowledgement, shrugging off the hands and the memories and the panic trying to drown him 

neil fucking needs him

when he reaches him, he understands why the firefighter let him close 

neil is covered in burns, every skin surface that meets andrew's eyes peeling and blistering and raw and red– 

his left leg is fucking mangled, a mess of torn skin and live muscle and–

andrew can see his fucking bone

the worst part is that his eyes are struggling to remain open

neil is awake 

there’s a collar around his throat, keeping him from moving, and he’s making these horrible fucking sounds and he’s fucking panicking but he’s restrained and

“sir, sir are you his family? can you tell me his name?”

neil doesn’t speak, just lets out weak wheezes and whines and they’re shoving an oxygen mask on his face

don’t touch him, he wants to tell them, to scream to yell to cry, don’t fucking touch my neil

but he knows they only want to help, knows they are there to help

his skin crawls as if it’s him on that stretcher with strangers touching him

“his name is neil josten, and everyone in his biological family is dead, i’m his boyfriend, i’m the closest thing he has to a family”

for some reason that makes the paramedic talking to him falter for a second, but he shakes it off quickly, “right, well, we’re going to need you to come with us to the hospital then, he’s going to need emergency surgery and he’s going to need someone to be there for him”

he watches as they roll neil a mumbling neil into the ambulance numbly, and hops inside without a second thought, watches as the paramedic shuts the door and hops on the drivers seat, taking off and turning the siren on at once

hospital

emergency surgery 

someone to be there for him

wait

andrew’s in too deep for this

the other foxes were waiting with him

shit–

“his poa is our coach”

they’re hooking neil up to a bunch of different wires and monitors and things aaron would understand so much better than him, and the paramedic just hums in question, but turns to look at andrew in question

andrew hates repeating himself

“his power of attorney is our coach, we left him at the building”

the paramedic mutters under her breath, just putting something on neil’s finger before 

“let him know to rush to the hospital right now, we need him there”

andrew’s hands tremble too much for him to text wymack, so he presses the call button instead

“andrew? when the fuck did you leave? how is neil?”

he wants this to be a nightmare, wants to wake up and find neil wrapped up in his arms, safe and sound in their dorm at fox tower and everything is fine, they’re fine, neil is fine

he can’t fucking speak

“kid, put him on speaker”

the paramedic must see the panic on his eyes, and normally he’d hate to follow orders but now he’s frozen

god he’s fucking terrified

he puts the phone on speaker to the sound of wymack repeating his name

“hi, this is paramedic martinez, i’m on the ambulance with neil josten and i need you to get to redding center right now, he’s going to need extensive care and most likely surgery and um, your guy here says you’re mr. josten’s poa, so we’re going to need you there”

“i’ll be right there, andrew, don’t hang up, tell me how things are looking”

andrew can’t answer him, god he can’t fucking breathe, he can’t fucking do this, not again, he can’t–

“andrew is busy holding neil’s hand right now,” the angel that is the paramedic says, giving andrew a sharp look, and despite his skin burning, he holds onto neil’s hand, “but i can catch you up, we’re looking at a possible ruptured lung, rib fractures, internal injuries to his abdomen because there’s free fluid in there, a pretty bad and exposed leg fracture, and we have high suspicions of spinal injury, but we can’t be sure just yet, we just know that he will need emergency surgery and scans and we need you there”

“okay, okay, i’m going to be there as fast as i can, andrew make sure that idiot makes it, okay? make sure you both do”

he doesn’t reply, just hangs up to the pitiful stare of paramedic martinez

he wants to wake up, he wants to wake up, he wants to wake up

he hears spluttering, and his head snaps to neil, fumbling and struggling to take the oxygen mask off his face

“shit, no, hey it’s okay, don’t take that off, it’s okay”

neil’s eyes are wide open and they’re staring right at andrew, eyes teary and desperate and pained and

“drew, drew,” he’s panting, and andrew can’t fucking breathe, “i don’, don’ wan’ surg’ry”

“neil, neil i need you to calm down okay, we need to have the doctors check you out so they know the best way to help you” 

there are tears rolling down neil’s eyes

he never takes his gaze away from andrew

“don’– don’ let them, drew– don’ let them do this”

andrew’s chest is caving in on itself

he wraps his hand tighter around neil’s, and there’s a burning behind his eyes

his lungs are burning

neil has burnt

“it’s for your own good,” he says weakly around the knot in his throat

neil lets out a painful sob, squeezing his eyes closed as tears keep spilling down the sides of his cheeks

andrew wants to wake up from this nightmare, he can’t fucking do this 

he needs this to be a nightmare

he wants to wake up 

[jaywalkers]

hi róisín, since ur in med, i was wondering : is aftg v medically accurate ?

hihi! i'll preface with that i'm not a med student, i'm a final year paramedic student, but i think my scope and areas of practice fit the antics the foxes get into in aftg enough to comment on it!

i won't talk on aftg's take on medications, antipsychotics or otherwise, because a lot of other lovely people who are far more educated on the topic have written about it! when it comes to aftg's treatment of injuries, though, i do have some things to say.

i'm going to tee up a couple of examples of frontline medical treatment in aftg and make some comments on them! granted they're very messy, but i hope they're understandable enough.

from the best, to the worst:

kevin's hand

i don't think it's unfeasible that kevin was back to playing capacity two years after his injury happened — while i think that his hand was probably severely fractured, and there was likely different fingers involved too, with good surgical intervention (which he was likely able to access) hand fractures, even complex ones, can be healed enough in 4-6 months.

the ligament injuries would be the more pertinent, and i think those would be the more pressing concern for him outside of the healed bones, considering ligament injuries can cause chronic issues not limited to pain. i would be surprised if abby was the sole medical provider for the foxes, because while she does appear to be a well-rounded sports nurse, kevin probably would have needed to work with a dedicated physiotherapist and/or a hand specialist to get the use of his hand semi-back to normal.

other questions abt kevin's medical problems? please observe here

2. neil's wounds post baltimore

when it comes to how these wounds are treated by medical staff, i have no concerns. the hospital neil is brought to by the FBI seems to have treated the wounds well and left him to sleep off any negative follow-on effects from the chloroform. the only thing i have qualms with is the implication from the hotel scene that the hospital has put an adhesive dressing over neil's burn on his cheek, which is a big no in wound-dressing — burned skin is very delicate, and adhesives can damage or rip it away with removal. it's why we use glad-wrap in the prehsopital setting for burns, because it's sterile and not sticky!

abby, when she gets her hands on neil, changes the bandages so the wounds can be visualised and aired out, cleans them again, and then re-dresses them cleanly. i have no issues here.

when it comes to how these wounds are treated by andrew, i have only this text from my brother when he first read the series a couple of years ago

throughout the series, including post-nest, andrew is constantly getting his grubby little mitts in neils fresh wounds. he should not be doing that. in particular in the hotel scene he peels away the adhesive dressing over a burn which is just a recipe for tissue-loss, severe pain, and increased risk of infection. i don't know how abby didn't scream because i would have.

just andrew. in general. yikes, my dude. don't do that.

3. jean

jean. he is the kicked dog of this series and i genuinely don't know how he was alive at the start of the book series, let alone at the end. at the start of the series, he has (according to the EC) experienced not only numerous fractures to various bones, but has had two incidences where he 'bashed his head open on the concrete', and needed 266 stitches total. also ten incidences of waterboarding.

if we break this down: that's two major head injuries, multiple incidences of significant amounts of blood loss, and ten incidences of asphyxial peri-arrest events.

it's further implied by both the novels and the extra content that jean was not given time to heal from these injuries, and instead had to play games. add to that the hours of the nest and the living conditions, and i actually cannot fathom how jean was not yet dead, by either a single incident or the culmination of many. exy is a contact sport. those head injuries, plus an accidental shoulder-check into the plexiglass could have, and should have killed him.

i'm glad he didn't. i think it's important that he didn't. but it is a miracle of biology and the sanctity of his cerebral blood vessels that he stays alive to the end of the books.

---

anyway i hope this all makes a bit of sense! im writing this half-mad with eight hours until my last exam for my 2nd to last semester so i'm running on energy drinks and way too much memorisation work of how benzos work. thank you for the question! and as always, please field more my way i LOVE this stuff.

[ok555ficideas]

Help me remember

Andrew sighed with relief when the whistle announced the end of the game. It was an exhausting one, not because it was a demanding opponent. No, Ravens stopped being a force to be reckoned with a year ago, when the foxes beat them in the finale. After that it was like a snowball of fallen ravens and the team had not yet recovered. 

It wasn’t even a championship game. The season was over. Foxes had beaten the Trojans in the finale six to five. This was just a friendly game between two teams, who hated each other, to improve their image. 

The Ravens didn’t play like they wanted to improve anything. They played as if it was the most important match of their career. They were vicious and unforgiving. They weren’t stupid enough to foul Andrew, but that couldn’t be said about the rest of his teammates. 

But it was over and Andrew could finally breathe. His people were only in various bad shapes, but none of them needed any medical attention outside of Abby. He looked across the court at a smiling Neil who was heading his direction. Helmet under his arm and a glint in his eyes that meant that he was on his way to say something incredibly stupid that would leave Andrew’s stomach in knots. 

Stupid junkie with his stupidly beautiful blue eyes and blinding smile. Andrew wanted to punch him in his stupid face, preferably with his lips. The rest of the team would probably go to the basement to celebrate with lots of alcohol. And whenever there was alcohol there was Kevin, so they would have the dorm for themselves. Andrew couldn’t wait to get his hands on Neil. They had only a week left of classes and after that Andrew was planning on taking Neil to Columbia for at least a week. He knew that taking his idiot away from the court for longer was impossible so when Neil reluctantly agreed to one week when Andrew was insisting on two, he decided to quit while he was ahead. 

Neil was in the middle of the court when suddenly there was a body throwing him in the direction of the plexiglass. There was a loud sound as the backliner who was assigned to Neil during the game repeatedly banged Neil head on the wall. Andrew wasn’t the first to get to him, since he was still standing in his goal, never keen to be in the middle of the celebration. 

Matt threw the backliner off of Neil and there was Abby immediately at his side, checking him over. Seeing as Neil was in good hands, Andrew went for the Raven first. He pushed Matt away and punched the much taller man straight in the face and then troppeled him over on the ground. He managed a couple more punches, but then there were people's hands all over him, trying to pull him away. 

There was ringing in his ears and he didn’t want to let himself be pulled away. He would probably still be fighting all of them if not for a small, barely heard above all the noise voice.

“Drew”

He jumped from the backliner immediately and shraged away all the people who tried to calm him down. He kneeled next to Neil and gripped his hand softly. There wasn’t any visible blood, but Abby looked worried.

“We need to take him to the hospital.” She said,

Andrew helped her pick Neil up and they went into the foxes changing room. He wanted to drive Neil to the hospital himself, but with the game just ending the traffic would be a nightmare. They called 9-1-1 and waited for the ambulance to get here. 

Apart from the stupid nickname that melted Andrew’s heart every time Neil used it, the striker didn’t utter another word. He was lying unconscious while Abyy tried to assess the damage to his probably broken ribs. 

The paramedics showed up ten minutes later and let Andrew ride with Neil to the hospital after he threatened them with a knife for trying to keep him away. 

It was all a blur after that. They took Neil to do some tests and Andrew had to wait in the waiting area.  He wasn’t sure what time it was, once Neil was all done and patched up and safely tucked away in a hospital bed.  Andrew was sitting in the armchair beside him. Someone must have warned the hospital staff to not even try to kick him out, because no one batted an eye at him staying way past visiting hours. He didn’t want to fall asleep. He wanted to watch Neil and protect him. 

“It is too late for protection, you failed.” A traitorous voice sounded at the back of his head. 

He tried to silence his racing thoughts, but there was no reason to deny them. He failed. If he was closer to Neil. If he made his way across the court instead of waiting in his goal, maybe he would be able to stop the backliner from attacking Neil. If he wasn’t so focused on Neil’s stupid smile and pretty face, maybe he would spot the danger and prevent it. 

His eyelids started to get heavy. He took a last glance at Neil’s unconscious form and fell asleep himself. He was used to having nightmares, but tonight they were filled with guilt instead of fear. 

[otdiaftg]

Things go from bad to worse when Columbia's finest show up at the Hemmicks' house. The first responders and paramedics arrive at almost the same time, but they were followed by two more sets of officers. Neil doesn't know if they had nothing better to do on a Sunday night or if they'd come following the slip of Kevin Day's name over the police radio.

Day: Sunday, November 12th Time: 5:10 PM EST

Justifiable police brutality

For the Fall of Neil Hargrove, day 4. Prompt: "Justifiable police brutality"

~~~

When Hopper gets to Cherry Lane, the boy is black and blue It’s clear, by ways of welts and cuts, what Billy has been through An eye that’s black, a lip that’s fat, a shoulder dislocated He whimpers when he’s touched, a sound that can’t be fabricated Neil Hargrove’s cuffed, off to the side; his knuckles are all bruised He watches paramedics treat his son, and looks amused

Jim Hopper had a dad himself, the asshole long since dead He used to hurt Jim just like this, and beat him ‘til he bled No one will beat Jim today, he’s big and strong and tough But he remembers how it felt when nothing was enough Remembers feeling hopeless, and like there was no way out Asshole dads and pain is something Jim knows all about

He takes Neil Hargrove by the arm, and leads him to his car It’s just out through the door, across the yard; it’s not that far It’s strange, then, how the man can’t seem to keep himself upright How he keeps tripping – Hopper asks, voice flat, “Are you alright?” “You tripped me!” Hargrove spits, then groans and squeezes his eyes shut (It’s hard to keep on shouting when a boot is in your gut)

Jim yanks the man upright again, ignores the way he swears His fingers might leave bruises but it’s not like Hopper cares He gets the man into the backseat then, but not before He accidentally bangs his head against the Blazer door Slamming the door shut, he just makes sure that Neil can’t flee It’s really not on purpose that he clips the bastard’s knee

He gets behind the wheel and drives, then suddenly, he brakes Neil Hargrove crashes forward and Jim hopes that something breaks “Ooops,” he says, without remorse, and puts the car in drive He’s not a monster; when he’s done, Neil will still be alive But Jim is just a man, and he cannot resist temptation He decides that he will take the long way to the station

All of these apply to me :/

[rescuefield-arch1]

claire's dating situation is a disaster. she unfortunately is a paramedic even when it comes to relationships, those red cross beliefs always coming through most times at the cost of her mental health.

she's always been the queen of one night stands because boyfriends ( and girlfriends ) were too complicated for her, growing older it's just easier to not get too attached romantically as it almost always leads to a huge disappointment... or a funeral, depends on the day really.

has somewhat tried to give it a go to a relationship with neil, though it was really just them staying in the office later than others, having quickies and calling it the height of their day ( debatable ). she really got into him only when he "needed" her which honestly is classic claire - always on the rescue.

i do think on the long run had neil not screwed up big time, she would have settled for him though whether she would have been happy or not is ( you guessed ) debatable.

[bumblepony]

🍈

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.

Frank

He is my OG blorbo and in my fics, he is usually some sort of paramedic or nurse before the outbreak. His mother usually dies from ALS and he has to care for her. He's struggled with depression his whole life.

Joel

His father usually leaves when he is young, he's either neglectful or he's violent. His mother has to work a lot, so he ends up basically raising Tommy. He is a loving father, but he has a hard time showing his emotions. He will do anything to protect the ones he loves. His wife normally leaves him with Sarah when she's really you less than a year.

Tess

I follow the idea that Criag and Neil HC'ed of her having a son who she locked in the basement after he turned because she couldn't bring herself to kill him. I truly think she was in love with Joel, but they never said it to one another because they couldn't take the heartbreak. Usually, I have her as a dental hygienist in my storylines she is a stickler about oral hygiene. She is extremely smart, like Mensa-level smart, and she thinks fast on her feet, which not all intelligent people do, that's a different skill. She has both the skills and the ability to use them.

i realised the bio i wrote for claire is infinitely long and people might get bored to read all that, so here's a quick rundown that will get linked in my pinned post.

1979 - claire is born in NYC. dad works in constructions, mom in cps.

1991 - her parents die in a car crash, she gets out of it with a few burns and cuts but it's when her survivor's guilt starts.

1991 to 1996 - since the redfields didn't have any will prepared, at first claire was placed in a foster home until chris got parental rights over her. eventually chris joined the air force and met barry burton, whose family ended up fostering claire in agreement with chris.

1997 - claire goes to college. while initially she was supposed to go to nursing school, she settles for an EMT course to become a paramedic.

1998 - she's still in college, soon to get her first certification. then summer happens, chris stops answering her phone calls so she decides to go to RC and see what's going on. the rest is history.

october 1998 - claire stays with sherry and leon while decoding chris' letter. at some point towards mid november she leaves for paris.

december 1998 - she infiltrates in the parisian umbrella labs as an intern, gathers evidence for her shared plan with leon to take the corporation down, but doesn't find anything about chris. she's eventually found out and captured after basically destroying the whole place, held prisoner on rockfort island until she manages to escape en route to an umbrella base in antarctica. eventually she reunites with chris.

1999 to 2003 - claire attempts to finish her studies, eventually gets her certificates and starts working as a paramedic to prove that she has financial stability to get parental rights over sherry. of course she never gets them, resulting in her always clashing with simmons despite him granting unlimited visit rights. in the mean time she's still working on unravel the conspiracy behind RC and umbrella, getting under terrasave's radar.

2004 - she officially joins terrasave after years spent advocating for them and tagging along to tell her story. she's immediately made a prominent member, and then sent to valdelobos ( spain ) to provide humanitarian aid. obviously things go south, and the volunteers leave before accomplishing anything.

2005 - claire is supervising the distribution of vaccines on behalf of terrasave, working closely with the FDA. the harvardville airport outbreak happens. around this time she also meets neil, a former FBC agent. due to his experience, he's eventually voted as a member of terrasave's executive board.

2006 - while in penamstan to provide humanitarian aid, claire finds out that during the 2000 war there's been an outbreak nobody ever covered on the news. of course she decides to investigate on it, getting kidnapped in the process. she eventually finds out the truth, ending up in a fight with leon about whether share it with the media or not. they're currently the only people ( alive ) who know about what happened, implying claire decided not go to the press anymore.

2007 - tba.

2008 - tba.

2009 - tba.

2010 - terrasave ( claire ) mediates between BSAA and DSO to form an alliance. as rumours of a presumed engagement with neil arise, claire decides to use that spotlight to endorse adam benford's presidency.

2011 - claire and other terrasave members are kidnapped during an event and brought on sejm island, where they wake up to find out a woman nicknamed the overseer has infected them with the virus strain t-phobos and is running experiments on them. with moira burton's help, claire discovers that neil was sent by FBC commissioner morgan lansdale to infiltrate terrasave and carry on his plans to get the former fbi branch reopened. claire, moira and natalia korda are the sole survivors, all three currently still infected with t-phobos albeit assumed that the virus has adapted to them.

2012 - claire and ark thompson work together to clear terrasave's name after neil's scandals. claire goes on a personal mission to find all the people involved in the conspiracy in attempt to atone for the lives lost on sejm. clues lead to an even bigger agency moving the strings.

2013 - claire is present during benford's speech in tall oaks, finally at peace about the fact that the truth about what happened in RC is finally being released and her story validated. she remains in the city providing aid as the outbreak spreads.

2014 - she tells chris various places where he could find leon according to her knowledge, and along with terrasave provides aid in the aftermath of the new york outbreak. some time later she's sent to investigate on sonido de tortuga island, eventually discovering that before sejm, alex wesker was conducting researches on t-phobos in a local umbrella facility. in this occasion is introduced zilì, a double agent for shén yà pharmaceutical.

2015 - sent in san francisco to investigate on a case of mutilated orcas washed ashore, claire ends up working on a joint investigation with chris, jill and rebecca. the clues lead them straight to alcatraz, where they're baited by former umbrella soldier dylan blake and infected with a strain of t-virus. claire is the one who seems to suffer it the most albeit never actually turning. eventually she's saved thanks to rebecca's vaccine, though due to the stress caused by the virus and t-phobos fighting it to keep her alive ( as it is designed for ) leaves claire with a mutated iris in the process. dylan's taunting makes claire question whether there are other conspirators left in terrasave.

2037 - varying on verses claire lives in a farmhouse with her family, dedicating herself more to investigative journalism than active fight on the field. she's in contact with mia and rosemary winters as they are considered part of the redfield family by association.
