Belief by Audra Rose (PG13)

[spikedluv]

On my last day driving the van this month I bring you a Don, Charlie Gen fic. I've managed to rec a fic a day, and believe me, that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's a ton more Don/Charlie (and Don, Charlie) fic out there, and that's not including the authors who write other pairings in the fandom, or who specialize in the novel-length gen fic. So if you've enjoyed any of these, please check out the author's other work, and maybe give the fandom a try. *g*

“That story mom told us about Elijah’s violin, The Wizard of Oz – you never believed in any of it, did you?” Don demanded.

Charlie reflected. It seemed as though he’d always known that a soap bubble didn’t have enough mass to support a person’s weight. That Kermit was made of inanimate felt, that giant reptiles were ages gone. And that sound waves couldn’t be suspended in wood.

He imagined what it would have been like to believe in beautiful impossibilities.

“I think… I think I would have liked to,” Charlie said softly.
