Wow sapph! Brilliant one-shot. Gorgeous writing I must say. I like how you took one clear theme (Charlies vanity? Not often touched upon) and just milked it for all it was worth.

I loved the way you described Charlie's jealousy of Liam followed by how he tries to make up for what he considers his physical imperfections. It's not what you've got but how you've got it I always say!

Dom + eyeliner + nail polish = Smokin!

My favourite parts were your descriptions of Charlies blackening fermenting junkie soul. Very powerful. And the ending hit just the right note with Charlie finding his true self. Lovely!

Thanks falafal! I was surprised when I got mused for this actually, I was looking at the prompt word and thinking "how the hell could I apply this to Charlie and/or Claire?" and then my muse came and just smackedme across the head and went "like THIS!" and bang, I started writing.

Dom + Eyeliner + nail polish = a veeeeeeery happy me. I had to put it in here. Rockstar!Dom is just teh hotness

Thank you for r/ring! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^_^

Aww, hehe.

Hey, I'd do him!

sapphire_child April 30 2007, 01:19:48 UTC

As would I - but he doesn't know that does he? XD

Thanks for reading!

I love reading that! Nice and very different Charlie character study. Loved it!

Thankyou cylune! I was looking for something different from this prompt and I'm glad that it tured out all right =)
