Wow. Gorgeous!
I've always been intrigued by the pairs of Weasley twins: Fred and George, Fabian and Gideon. I have never read a fic that has gone in this direction before. And poor Arthur. I think Fabian was playing him, and Arthur was infatuated as only a teen can be. It's just too bad that Fabian died before Arthur could see him as he really was. Instead, he is left with a fixed, untarnished image that will hurt and haunt far worse than if he'd had another few weeks to see that Fabian would never have come out for Arthur. poor man.
"She wants to do things." So sad! Puts a whole new twist on the Weasleys having seven kids, and why Arthur might work such long days.

And that last paragraph!! Charlie looks like Fabian! Guh!
In your mind, does that lead to Weasleycest?? Well, what doesn't, with you, but do you think it does here?

I'm still not getting LJ notification that I made a comment here, and ads are popping up incorrectly and taking over/erasing the page and link, making me lose your LJ page. GRRRRRR. Let me know later if you responded to this.
Is this ad thing happening to you? I can't even hit the back button. The friggin' ad erases everything. Very grrrrr.

*blushes*

Oh, yeah, I guess you're right.

Actually, as I was writing this I was very protective of Arthur as the husband and father. In my mind, he wouldn't ever touch Charlie (at least not in this 'verse).

But I do think having Charlie look so much like Fabian has to be very hard on Arthur. I can almost feel his heart stuttering every time Charlie smiles at him.

LJ notifications have been crap for a couple of days. I've been getting Best Buy ads popping up that won't let me get rid of them until they are fully started - Grrrrrrr!

heh.

might have crossed my mind too. *blushes*

but I agree it doesn't fit with this story. It's just heartbreaking to see that smile again, I think. :D

*nods*
That's the way I see it, Arthur kind of beaten up every time Charlie smiles - torn between his love for his child and the memory of his lost love.

Yep, I don't think Fabian had any intentions of coming out and only wanted to stop Arthur from doing anything with Molly.

*pets Arthur*

Thanks, hun!
