WOOOOOOOW. I do not even know what to do this. *juggles ineffectually*

"I don't think I've ever read a Charlie/Draco break-up fic, and didn't realize that I wanted to!"

You and me both! The deadline was coming up and I was like, fuck, I just... I just gotta write this bitch. I sat down and this simply happened. No planning, no nothing. At the start of the day I had my prompt on a page and at the end I had that prompt fulfilled.

It was a gamble doing it from Charlie's PoV - because I pretty much always play in Draco's or Harry's - but I wanted to see the world from his eyes for a bit. I really had no idea there was a fanon!Charlie in existence that I was clashing with. But a sex-god!Charlie? *makes face* That just makes no sense. As I said in a reply above, he's asexual in my headspace and likely to stay that way.

I didn't want it to be a big thing that broke them up, just those little things that can chip away at you if you let them. I admit, if I were Charlie, I'd have those same fears. Because Draco really is it and I can see how he's not quite convinced that having Draco and losing him is better than not having him at all. I think he's also very aware that Draco is not the same about relationships as he is - that he has possibilities out there. But, of course, Draco's got that whole self-hatred over his role in the war thing going on which is only compounded by the fact that Charlie's surname is Weasley. They've issues, for sure, and I don't know they're truly solved by the end of this so much as set aside because they decide to trust that they're stronger together than apart.

Hee. That pushed my buttons too! Hooray for chemistry! I always try to make these non-mainstream pairs seem as plasuible as possible. Hahaha, I'm soooo pleased Molly did it for you - I was not sure I was getting her right AT ALL. *snorts* You and my beta flipped for that dragon. I'm so glad you could see it too, in my head it was so flipping CUTE!

Thank you so much for your comment (and the rec)! It means more than I can put into words with my clumsy fingers. *hugs your face off*
