I really liked that, I thought it was cool, like an explanation of what Charlie was doing before we saw him bugging Hurley in The Beginning of The End.
Poor Charlie, he can't just be put to rest, he has to chase after the Oceanic 6 all the time - how annoying

I hope when all of this is over he can be at rest again. Poor Charlie =(

I like how you used the prompt. The whole fic was a great read. I especially liked the moment Charlie saw the article in the paper - it was written quite dramatically. I enjoyed this very much!

(I think the rating is a bit steep, btw. I'd only give this an R, at most.)

Thanks Zelda! It's lovely to hear from you and I'm glad you enjoyed reading this =) thanks!

If the world was in the right order and balance he would’ve been let go, he wouldn’t be suffering anymore. Because that’s all he ever wanted really - an end to his suffering, and some reasons to be missed by those that he left behind. If he’s ever going to rest peacefully then he’s going to have to finish in death what he started in life.

Okay...you know what I love about this? I think you might be the first fanfic writer who has really got under the skin of dbah!Charlie (as we are now calling him). You've got inside his head and his heart. You have made him 3-dimensional. I don't think anyone else has really done this yet. We've all been looking at him from a distance and writing him as cool and mysterious (like Darlton who just can't be relied on for emotional depth anymore). But you've dug deeper, girl. I love/hate how tormented Charlie is. I want him to be at peace too, but there is no way to avoid how devastated he must feel about the 06, especially Aaron Austin.

Well I figure why else would he have come back? The future is definitely not unfolding as it should have done or else he would've moved on to whatever comes next. Instead he's esconced in the real world still, not dead but also not alive - what a horrible punishment for him after what he did for the others! *hugs Charlie*

I'm actually not all that happy with Claire atm - um hello? Your boyfriend just died?! Why are you not sad?

Whatever. That's why we have fanfic! You seem to be reviewing all of mine at once lol.
