First off, I'd like to apologize for this chapter being so late. Real life conspired against both me and one of my betas consecutively. In the end it isn't such a bad thing as I waffled back and forth over the length of this chapter because I didn't think I had enough for 4 Charlie chapters but then realized I did after all. Things got moved about a bit and thus it's good that this chapter didn't go up any sooner.

If you have a look at the master list for this fic, you'll see a list of which chapters are still to come and what parts they go into. This is still subject to change (most likely with more chapters being added in if certain scenes turn out to be longer than expected) and not a complete list (I know there will be a Part VI, I'm just not sure whose pov it will be yet), but it'll give you an idea of how much longer this fic will be and what is to come.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this part.

Mmm, Charlie's come a long way since season 1. He's not even close to normal in his reactions, and I don't think he ever will be, but he's improved a lot and with the stakes so high its all coming out.

Oh God, this broke my heart! Alan's attempts to draw Charlie back out of his funk are just so sad and desperate and... Just heart- breaking!

Excellent work, again... Loved it!

Yeah, I know, I'm really putting Alan through the ringer as well. I hadn't intended to do so with the original idea, but got added to it at some point.

I should have put Charlie & Alan angst in the summary. Oops.

Unfortunately, this is only really the beginning for poor Alan.
