That was wonderful and truly brilliant! Thank you so much and God bless you! (PS...I'm totally with you about rare meat-UGH!)

Corn, that last line was pure corn. Luckily, I love corn - dripping with butter, salt and lots of black pepper. :D

I liked how you took this potentially lethal event and gave Charlie a chance to open up and to grow a little. With Don always by his side. Nice job.

oh wow. That was brilliant. From the first sentence I was hooked. You really captured the characters wonderfully, and the dialogue in the story was so well written it might as well have been real. Great job!

Awesome! Nice last line. :P I liked the ABC thing, too - clever. I loved all the brotherhood-ness - then again, I always do. But that's 'cause you're the master of it! It started out very dramatic and frightening, but the humour you added into the mix really helped to balance things and the fic got steadily more enjoyable as it progressed. Sweetness.

I really, really, really enjoyed this story. Well done.

Aw, the end *sniff*.

Loved it. I hope to read more work from you.

Don't take this the wrong way but *squee!* Vicodin! Sorry, i'm a House MD fan. Great chapter, Charlie needs a hug. On forth to the rest!

Wonderful! I loved this story and I think I can use that ABC 'stuff' on myself occasionally.

Great story!

I appreciated the twist with the drug-unexpected, but very nice to know he wasn't crazy! :)

Keep up the great work!

Man I've been lagging! Wonderful! I might have to take some of that great advice on coping...you are truly a talented writer. I can't wait to see what next series you bring us. C.

Another awesome story, as always! I love how you hurt Charlie, Don and Allan so! lol!

Great job and thank you!

:P awesome story!:):) i'm so glad that you didn't have charlie as an actual suicidal persona, rather than having simply gone that route under the influence - the angst was great, and the ending perfect... couldn't have asked for more;) keep it up! (and i'm with you on hating rare meat - i refuse to eat anything that's still bleeding - yuck)

First, wow! Gotta say...loved it. The ending felt a little rushed. Plus I want Charlie to stay a full-time professor, but that is just me.

I'm glad you went with the drugged bit, probably always were going to, huh? Also, realistic the way it did uncover some real problems plus get Charlie to reveal their existance to Don, though I get a feeling Dad is still a bit clueless to the extent and nature of Charlie's real probs?

My favorite things. You've got so many great lines in here. And drunk/stoned Charlie on pain meds in the tub with the wet hair was just too cute. I loved that!

I know...I know. I shoulda had faith. Sometimes it just is HARD, you know? When real life kicks you in the posterior, especially! Like I said back before? Believe, but unbelief? Belief RESTORED!

Great story and great ending! Personally, I love rare meat, but not ground beef. I'd love Chaarlie no matter what he was though! LOL!

Hmm. Loved the story, but I'm not sure I liked this ending. It seems weak, mostly that last paragraph.

I have no idea what could be done differently - or if it even should be - but it just feels "off" to me.

Geez, I hate to leave a review like this on the last chapter, but I know you prefer honesty. I wish I could offer something more constructive.

And now I'm off to read your new story. Yay!
