Why this must be read:

I really, really like Charlie/Larry. It's one of my guilty pleasures--and, yes, in a fandom rife with incest, I'm still going to consider Charlie/Larry another guilty pleasure, because Larry was Charlie's teacher when he was tiny. Remember how Charlie went off to college at the age of 13? Yes. Well.

This is a story that acknowledges both the guiltiness and the pleasure, because there are two sides to the story: Larry wasn't ready for Charlie to be sexual as a teenager. Charlie, as a teenager, was.

"Patience, Charles. You did ask, after all."

"I asked about your closets? Because I think I'd remember that."

"You asked me how long I-how did you put it? How long had I harbored illicit thoughts about you."

Charlie stopped tugging on the closet rod, which was thick enough to probably hold his weight should he decide to try a pull up, which he wouldn't, because it might actually be embarrassing. "I never said illicit."

"Illegitimate? Illegal? No, it wasn't that, unless you were anticipating the answer, incorrectly I might add. I was sure you said 'ill' something. Ill-advised-now that, I'll grant you."

miriam_heddy is my favorite author for this pairing, and one of my favorite authors for this fandom. I highly recommend visiting her site to read her other stuff too. And I may have to come back and rec another story of hers after I've had time to kick back and reread them all--this is the one that stands out in my memory, but there were so many delicious ones.

Lachesis.
