THIS IS AMAZING -- thank you so, so, so much. Don't worry, I'm not disappointed in the least that Charlotte's voice ended up being louder in your head than Dan's -- I absolutely love it to pieces.
I adore how you fill in the blank spots of Charlotte's history, something I desperately wish the show would have done. This is a million time better, though; everything is so wonderfully and just fits, but the places you take her character are still so imaginative and interesting. And the way you the image of the beach, and sand -- how those first memories stay with her throughout her life -- is just ... wow. Breathtaking.
I mean, I love all of this, but I think my favourite parts were Charlotte losing her virginity -- and what an awesome way to show insight in the character -- on the expedition (because it's just so Charlotte) and convincing Widmore to include her in the freighter trip. You have such great range as a writer, and all these snippets definitely showcase that. Oh, and Dan! So sweet and lovely and adorable, especially Charlotte reacting to Miles and sticking up for him.
I just wish I had the words to explain how much I absolutely adore this -- a little bit hungover, lol -- and how hard I squeed through the entire thing. Again, thank you SO MUCH. What a wonderful birthday present! :D
