Why this must be read: Wowowowow! This was just posted today. SUCH a good read! It's Charlie's 16th birthday, and Wonka wants to know why he's been so unhappy. In a series of flashbacks we learn about Charlie's life at school after winning the contest, and about Wonka's childhood and unlucky attempts at love. Wonderful piece.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY at IMDB

"He smiled. “I know I’m a little...I’m not like other people. But I’ve tried to do the right thing by you—to be your friend and your teacher and your mentor. But now that you’re sixteen, I think things need to change.”
...
“You said my Chocolate Room was beautiful. You understood that there’s not supposed to be any point to candy. And I knew I’d picked the right one.”

Woah! I'm astonished (and thrilled) that you chose this story to rec. I just put that on ff.net, after removing it from LJ (just in case) and realizing I'd never shared it anywhere else.

Thank you for the rec and the kind words. That story is special to me, for several reasons, and knowing that others like it too is just...wonderful.
