So I had read rinkle's fic before but never this particular drabble until Emma remixed it for the N100's remixathon. Both Rinkle's and Emma's drabbles affected me so deeply that I spent the next 45 minutes thinking about it obsessively while I grocery shopped. As I was parking my car and unloading the groceries, I was struck by how different the drabble would read if it was Charlie's experience and not Don's. I shoved the cold items still in bags into my refrigerator, ran to my laptop, and 50 mins later I had a drabble draft of the Charlie remix. That is the shortest amount of time ever it has taken me to write a drabble. That's what good inspiration will do. :D

Thanks to my most awesome and patient of betas emmademarais and melissima. Seven drafts later, they had helped me whip this drabble into shape. They deserve an award for being so helpful and patient, seriously. <3<3<3<3<3
