Okay, seriously, the smut? Is so not necessary. Smut is fine, but with fics like this one, who needs smut? It was a beautiful fic - like I knew it would be, I mean, come on, it's from you, right? I love the interaction, the musing, the glimpst into their childhood and into Charlie's head... it was beautifully written, really.

Also, the line that really got to me is the following: "I think at that minute, she would have given just about anything in the world to open that acorn and find a gnome inside for you", I mean, the whole story got to me but that line in particular? Really resonated with me for some reason. I just pictured the scene of this mother who wanted nothing more but give magic to his son, knowing she couldn't and just... wow.

Also also, no seriously? You're looking for a smutty co-author? Well you know what I mean lol
