"Did you interview the sister?" Don asked.

"Yeah. She says she doesn't know, uh..."

Don followed Colby's gaze and cleared his throat.

"She doesn't know what brand the victim wore," Colby finished hastily. Across the room a voice spoke excitedly, explaining a new theory. David's voice broke in, rumbling a question. Colby's eyes drifted to Charlie again.

"Is that all?" Don asked sternly. "Did you find anything helpful?"

"Uh! The lock on the back window only broke last Tuesday?" he offered. Don sighed.

"Alright. Go check in with David. And Granger!" Colby started, wide-eyed. "Stop looking at my sister."

this is girl!Charlie, right?

it's interesting, most certainly.

for a moment there, I thought it was a drabble which introduced a third sibling to Alan's brood. (not unknown, granted; I've committed that myself)

[sororcula.livejournal.com]

It is! I was trying really really hard not to give it away before the ending, but I did realize that might mean sacrificing clarity. :-/ I'm glad you got it!

(And introducing a third--or, like, FIFTH--sibling to the family is definitely not something I would put past me! Haha.)

I had to re-read it a few times...to be sure Colby was looking where I thought he was looking.

hehe. I'm actually working on a long girl!Charlie fic that has a scene rather like this so it was cool to see it here.

[sororcula.livejournal.com]

Sweet! I want to write a long girl!Charlie fic but I only have the very vaguest of plot ideas for it.

[ladygray99]

I've got my plot pretty solid. I'm about a third of the way through. I'm basically starting at the top of season 2 and sticking to cannon as close as I can.

[sororcula.livejournal.com]

Ooh, interesting. The ideas I have are mostly pre-series and incestuous. *cough*

[ladygray99]

I'm going for transgender!Charlie and a Charlie/Colby slow build romance.

[sororcula.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, you've told me about this fic before! Interesting.

girl!Charlie from your keyboard! And Colby left without enough blood above his waist to operate his brain! This just gets better and better.

(Also, hi. :) Hopefully, I'm back, and I'm sorry for having been gone for so long.)

[sororcula.livejournal.com]

Hee! Colby is even more entranced with girl!Charlie than he is with boy!Charlie. (Which is to say, very.)

Hello! It's lovely to have you around again! :-)

*loves on this fic more than is probably sane or healthy* This is just awesome. Poor Colby! *pets*

More, please?
