Just a note to let you know that I've started a series of one shots covering Owen, Claire and Maisie becoming a family, called Snapshots. The first one shot is up now.
It takes place in the Full Circle universe, but will focus primarily on random moments during the three years between Fallen Kingdom and Full Circle. Think a lot more fluff and a lot less angst. :)

"Whoa, slow down there kiddo," Owen smiled at her exasperated huff. "Lots of time to explore. We're here for two nights." He opened his door, allowing Maisie to finally get her own open, and she almost tumbled out of the back. He grabbed her by the arm, keeping her upright, until she got her footing again.
"We've only got one full day," Maisie explained in a rush. "I can't waste a minute."
"Be careful," Claire called out, exiting her side of the truck, watching as Maisie headed straight for the frame of the cabin, scrambling up onto the platform and looking around in delight. She circled around the front of the cab, coming to a stop by Owen's side, wrapping her arm around his waist. He followed by draping his arm across her shoulder, pulling her in close. "So," Claire said, tilting her head to look up at him. "You going to give me the grand tour?"
Also, if you haven't yet, I've been busy working and updating my latest multi-chapter fic called Going Back. What happens if you remove the Volcano and Maisie from Fallen Kingdom? And replace Franklin with Lowery? It ends up being a much different story, although it starts of similarly. There are 5 chapters up so far (plus the prologue) and I'm updating it twice a week. There's some Clawen angst, but not at the levels of Full Circle (sorry). It's a lot more adventure focused and will have more dinosaurs. :)

"How are things going today?" Claire looked around the room. Zia's background was as a paleo-veterinarian, but at the DPG her role was much more second-in-command. There were not a lot of daily paleo-vet activities to be done with the dinosaurs still on Isla Nublar and the island still under quarantine, barring outside access. The DPG had been trying to get an exception to that rule for over a year now, but had had no luck.
"Normal," Zia shrugged. "There's another rally being planned in a couple of weeks, so some are getting a jump on the posters. We really need some new information. It's getting tough to continue to try and raise money, hell, to even get people to care at this point. There hasn't been any video footage from that island in over a year. People are starting to think that the dinosaurs are all probably dead already."
"I know," Claire sighed. "I'm working on it, I really am."
"I know you are."
"Hey, I've got an in-person meeting scheduled with Delgado. Maybe this will be the in we need," Claire gave a hopeful smile. "You never know."
"Let's hope," Zia agreed.
"You will see a dinosaur with your own eyes," Claire promised, getting up from her seat. "I'm going to make sure of that."
"Even if it's illegal?" Zia raised an eyebrow in question. She'd been pushing Claire on this for a few weeks now. That if the government wasn't going to cave, that they may have to take matters into their own hands.
"We're not there yet," Claire shook her head. "But… let's cross that bridge when we come to it."
I hope you take a moment to check out these others fics, as well as any of the other pieces I've written. Reviews, favourites, and hits help keep me motivated to write more.
