Thanks, Lemon. Awesome insights as always
Time Lapses
This is short and sweet...but it gets the point across. And makes me wish it was ten times longer and a complete story. But this is a nice insight into how Charlie and Bass may have started. I love the line "they have been intimate and the other’s taste is unforgettable now". It just sums up Charloe and how they are both hunters and both prey to the other. I feel like if they ever did get a taste of each other, they would never be able to stop.
The Glint Of Light On Broken People
The sex in this is very hot and maybe very much the way it might have been between Charlie and Bass if it had started that early. This is more how they were together before Willoughby; there's not a lot of love here, but the way they are with each other, it seems like that could happen sometime in the future. At the end, she does say she still plans to kill him, and he calls her bluff. Seems like it could really be the beginning of Charloe....and how much do I wish the show had gone this way....
Anyway, I was glad the Halloween story came up right at this time
Mostly Dead Man Walking
Well, it seems we picked several stories this week that happened on the
way to Charloe
But SciFi is one of the best and I enjoyed this a lot. I love how she assumed Bass would get out of dying. I thought it was fitting that Rachel wouldn't play along and decided not to help Bass. I kind of always figured Rachel only helped him to try to get on Charlie's good side (though I have little doubt that some of the out of touch writers on Revo might have tried to convince us in S3 that Rachel saved Bass because there were feeling between them...yeah, right...whatever).
Love the end of this when Bass wakes up to Charlie drooling on his shirt and the little bit of banter between them. This too could be a set up for future Charloe. And I love the looks that pass between them when he's being led away in the cage. Looks that Aaron interprets correctly. What a perfect description of Bass too...like a caged tiger.
Out In The Dark
Well, another story that is at the start of Charloe
But it's a good one...the first chapter, while sudden, is actually rather hot. Just a very well written sex scene...complete with Charlie trying to pretend that it meant nothing...that she has to nip it in the bud.
Chapter two sees her already falling for him...and I love these sentiments: "What she wants more than anything is to be back on the road with Bass, not even with a destination in mind. She wants to run away from her mother, from any responsibilities she has to anyone else. She wants a chance to be herself with someone she hardly knows and who hardly knows her, but who sees right to her soul when he looks in her eyes." How perfect that all she wants to do is just run away with him, just be back on the road where they started to become something to each other. Interesting, cause that's pretty much where I wanted them too
Also, interesting that SciFi made it so Rachel wouldn't help Bass and freshair made it that she would for Charlie's sake.
Third chapter sees him waking up and trying to deny that there's something between them, and her bowling him right over to insist there is. I like insistent Charlie
More Charloe sex is never a bad thing either. All I wish is that more had been done for this story. I would have enjoyed several more chapters of this Charlie and Bass. The writer was very good and I wish he/she would have done more with both this story and in general for Charloe.
OK, mlreeve1, your turn.
