This was absolutely beautiful. You managed to weave past and present together with such a deft touch, and I loved how both Charlie and Don grew in your story to the Charlie and Don we know now. The worry Don picked up on from his parents because of his special little brother was perfect, as was the way you had Don as not always his brother's protector, not until he grew up enough to realize that pushing Charlie out didn't make him in. As an older sibling, I can completely relate to Don there. I loved your portrayal of Don and Charlie and Terry, and I thought the bit about Terry shooting air holes into the ceiling of the elevator was very like the show, a bit of quirky humor to brighten up the serious tone. And you worked the title into the story! *grins* I love it when people do that. Honestly, this was just gorgeous. One of the best pieces of Numb3rs fiction out there.
