So apparently I went overboard with the one SPOOKY Fic I managed to write. It's too long for a comment, so here it is in all its weird, weird glory. I don't know where this came from. It's so not my usual stuff.

Mothballs, Boone/Charlie, creepy Victorian dresses, PG13

( “I don’t know about you…,”Charlie swallowed hard. “Of all the crazy things we’ve encountered, this has to be the freakiest one yet.” )

You know what? This made me so happy I was literally clapping. Literally. I think you might have heard the trans-continental squeeing too. Can I marry this fic? Please? Because it's just too awesome to be real. ;)

Okay, seriously, your Charlie voice is so spot on I can't even say. Every single thing he said was so IC, and you killed me from like paragraph two. That part about Boone's hair and the butterfly (and the heroin) was just so Charlie I started to clap. And I randomly liked that he'd say the tree feels like his gran's house, it just feels like something Charlie would say especially after having a hit. Not to mention the Rolling Stones mention because he'd so go there.

And then the riot started.

A propriedade de Ricardus Alpertio,” he read aloud. “Maybe he was with the French woman.”

Ah, Boone, you don't know. If only you did... even though I love that it was Richard's stuff. So Richard is into crossdressing? Kinky. But I'd totally see that, lol.

What if the body of Ricardus was inside, and they had just disturbed his ( ... )

I'm glad you liked this. I originally wanted to have it be about Boone and Charlie dressing up as the Three Musketeers with Hurley, but then getting lady costumes instead, but that didn't go anywhere. Anyway, this is what came out, and I'm not 100% happy with it, but your comment filled me with squee. I'm glad you thought the characterizations fit, as it seems like 100 years ago since I wrote these two, and never in S1 mindset. I'm glad you liked the Richard stuff I threw in. I would not like to think Boone and Charlie were really sacrificed because they messed with his stuff!

I know I didn't get your prompt exactly right with the creepy dresses, but I did get creepy hats. Really, they should have snuck that hat back and put it in Locke or Sawyer's tent - just for a reaction!

I'd totally want to see the undressing bit.Yes! I am not into cross dressing but that bit worked for me too. All those buttons ( ... )

Hahaha, this is amazing! Charlie's POV had me giggling the entire time -- especially with stuff like the Rolling Stones CD mention -- and that it's Richard's truck? Epically awesome. And there is something creepy about Victorian dresses, that's for sure.

Thanks. This fic need more time, but I wanted to get it in for the challenge. Did the Stones joke work? I goggled 'worst albums ever' and many claimed that Stones one was the worst! Personally, I have no idea. Thanks for reading!

Heee! This was hilarious. When I saw the prompt and then realised you had set this in S1 when both characters were alive, I knew I'd cherish it. Cross dressing, especially with historical dresses, is very much my thing! Charlie's little fantasy about Boone on a fainting couch (I'm imagining Betty Draper's couch here!) fanning himself was delightful. As was Boone being anti-fur but getting so attached to the mink stole. I also loved your opening paragraphs with Charlie's disgrunted reaction to Boone's effortless gorgeousness as they were walking through the jungle.

*happy sigh* I'm so over LOST, but it still brings a smile to my face when a ficcer revives Charlie so perfectly. I know I'm biased but I think Charlie might be the best character POV that you write in your Lost fic - which is saying something because you do everyone so well.

Oh and I liked Charlie randomly being captured by a tree. Very Lord of the Rings!

elliotsmelliot November 1 2009, 23:22:11 UTC

Hee! Thanks for reading and saying what you did about Charlie's voice. I'm glad you got some joy out of this.

I wouldn't have thought of cross dressing if it hadn't been Janie's prompt and I knew she would like that particular take on it.

And oh yes, Boone can share the couch with Betty. That monstrousity was big enough!

Cross-dressing Richard--well, if you have built-in eyeliner, I suppose it comes with the territory. And Boone in green velvet, and Locke in a wine velvet hat with love birds, and I am giggling uncontrollably at the thought. And what shall we put on Charlie? He can't dress up Boone (let alone undress him) unless Boone returns the favor. Then all we need is Richard to walk in--

Thank you for a lovely angst-free reduced-horror Halloween story!

Richard could have 101 reasons for that trunk being there - but hey, cross dressing is just as likely as the rest. I don't think this ended up being Halloweeny at all - but thanks!

This was such a gem of a fic! I was giggling all the way through and I adore getting to see some S1 fic again with Boone! And junkie!Charlie! (he's my favourite)

*totally glees out all over this fic and you*

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
