Absolution Series by Audrarose (R-NC17)

Pairing: Don/Charlie
Length: ~8,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] audrarose
Author Website: Fic Master List
Why this must be read: Audra is one of my absolute favorite authors. She can drag me into a fandom just because she’s written fic and I can’t resist reading it. (In fact, she dragged me into this one. *g*) And she GETS what draws these two men, these two brothers, together. This fic has a little bit of everything: nearly public you almost died up against a wall naughty touching, kitchen smut, a first time that’s as beautiful as it is hot, a smidge of angst and a scorchingly hot and tender day after.

He knows he sounds annoyed with Charlie for maybe bleeding to death, but panic always makes him irritable and the twilight and the bloody fabric make it impossible to see clearly. Don’s nervous hands can’t seem to feel anything but clammy cloth. With a sound of frustration, he shoves the ruined, sodden t-shirt up, hears Charlie gasp. His brother’s body in the near darkness is pale skin streaked with black, and thin, so thin -- just muscle and bone as if Charlie’s mind leaves him nothing to spare; like it’s burning Charlie up the way Charlie’s skin burns Don’s fingers.
