fffft I said not to fuck it up, like, two chapters ago! D: That is not a long time!

....So, does Selatcia's ability to be in people's head relate to one's name having power, or something? I am so curious right now. Good thing you update all the time D:

In the story they've actually been together for a couple weeks, so that's a long time. For Charles.

Yes, there is a thing with names. My beta requested that if I do another story, I do a full-on mythology story that I've been avoiding doing for this series to keep it down-to-earth, and I'm considering her request. The previous story mentioned that both Sarah and Charles keep their middle names secret, for different reasons (neither of which are stated). So there is something there that I might do something with.

DAAAAMMMMMNNNN!!! That was a serious constructive cursing out. We call that a come to Jesus meeting in my neighborhood!(actually they probably do in angela's neighborhood too - not very far away, similar community,etc.)

It might have been, looking back on it, TOO thought-out for real dialogue, but then again, she has had a lot of time (she's been Charles's assistant for a couple months) to think about all of the things she can't talk to him about. And she doesn't even know about Edgar Jomfru in the basement.

I have no idea where this is going, and that's a compliment. Earlier I was suspecting that Angela might bite it, assistant curse and all, but Charles has been through so much and I don't even know anymore.

Well, we'll know in the next chapter...

Oh shit!

The band even noticing Charles being mellow-priceless!

[dj_the_writer]

It's so rare in fanfics that Charles is sleeping with someone else so that it can happen; he's usually sleeping with a member of the band and that just makes him nervous in meetings. The other fic where it happens is "Staying Professional" which is a personal fav of mine.

Oh man, I really don't think it was a good idea to talk to Charles that way...

And not long after 82 warned her not to ask questions, too.

Well, once you do it, there's no going back...
