That was great, woo for another chapter!

I loved how you wrote Charlie, and him happy not having to choose between black and white, grey is a perfect colour for him, I couldn't have picked a better one myself

Update soon, only one char left!

See, I'm still not sure if grey is actually a color. I mean, I know it is, but for some reason it feels weird as a color... Things that happen in my head. LOL

Yep, only one left. It's supposed to let you all know the real meaning of the entire series, the message I want to send out.

The thing I like the most about this series is that I get to see a little glimpse of how you interpret each character and how wonderfully different you see them from me. I never would have chosen grey for Charlie, but for the reasons you did, it's perfect, completely perfect.

I see Charlie as red. Passionate and warm and vibrant, but really, that is only one aspect of him. I suppose we are all made up of a rainbow of colours.

Only one more to go, trying to think who you haven't done? Larry? Alan?

Look forward to finding out.

*hugs*

I think we would all choose a different color for each character. I would have chosen red too - it's a very good color for him, for the reasons you said - but I wanted to add the color as a complement to the person and the story I was telling.

You are absolutely right. We're all made up of a rainbow of colors!

The last one... well, it should mean everything. Haha. I'll probably post it tomorrow.

Thank you so much for reading. *hugs back*

Ah. Two themes going here. The theme of the younger sibling wanting to be like the older/admiring them. And that of the shades of gray/color gray.

Brava, PW. Gray is a perfect color for Charlie because gray represents the middle and Charlie is often, in my references, the middle man. The one who fills in the links.

I really like the way you see this. The one who fills in the links. I love that.

Thank you very much for the lovely comment. *sends a big hug*

This is lovely. I usually read your other series but I like reading about Don & Charlie's relationship. It's sort of sad that Charlie tries so hard to be like Don but then he finds a way to use his math to bridge that so he's okay.

They're different people, yet they can work together. I'm sure Don would like to be closer to what Charlie represents, too. I think it happens in every family that the brothers and/or sisters compare themselves to the others and try to determine what role they have.

*hugs* Thank you for giving the story a try!
