Why this must be read:

Ian stirred the stove fire. Charlie was asleep. He’d been asleep for almost three days. On the second day he’d run a fever and thrashed with nightmares. Ian only woke him to pour fluids down his throat. He let the fever burn itself out.

This must be read because it’s probably the best thing ladygray99 has ever written and she’s written some pretty cool shit.

It’s a drabble series (20x300) that looks at what might happen if Charlie ever took a life.

It’s an idea that has been written by other people but this one feels the most right. Even with the slash it’s the way you’d hope the characters would react in cannon if the show had ever gone there.

It reads quickly, moves well and is very beautiful.
