THIS. All of this. I was never a big fan of Charlie, but this is so him it almost hurts. The way you write his addiction is amazing. Excellent, excellent job.

Thank you so much! :)

This is gorgeously, brilliantly despondent and bitter and wretched and true, and yet hopeful in the very way that really makes Charlie shine as a character -- lovely stuff :)

Thank you so much!

I love Charlie so much, but I rarely write him so it was fun to have a chance to explore the messier side of him.

This entire thing is BRILLIANT.

Outside the pub he leans against the wall and takes deep, gulping breaths of the cold, early morning air. His lungs sting and he imagines this must be what drowning feels like.

THAT LINE KILLED ME.

Terrific. Absolutely terrific. ♥

Thank you so, so much! :D

Heh. I had to throw the drowning thing in there. *snuggles Charlie*

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. Charlie's junkie days break my heart, but they're fun to explore. :)

This is such a beautiful, sad look inside Charlie's head. I really think you've got him down here: the intensity of his emotional attachments, his idealism and his low opinion of himself. He's not necessarily an easy character to write persuasively; I really admire what you've done here.

Thank you so much!

Charlie is my favorite character on the show, but he's so hard to write I don't attempt him very often, but I had to for Toes. :)
