Don-centric fic & episodes

[katheli.livejournal.com]

Hi!
I'm new to this and I hope this is appropriate - I am looking for longer Don-centric fanfiction with Don-in-danger and everyone worried about him. I prefer gen but other Don pairings are also okay. I also would like to read fics in which the theme of Don as the neglected child is brought up, either pre-series (as children or teenagers) or also fics that take place during or after the show. I especially would like to see something where Don is acting out due to being in the shadow of Charlie. :)

Also: I've seen "Fifth Man" and "Uncertainty Principle" - are there any other episodes in which Don is in danger and the others (or just Charlie) are worried? Please let me know!

Thank you!

4x10 Graphic might interest you? Nothing major like The Fifth Man, but I believe there's a nice but small scene (after the danger) where Charlie expresses his worries? The aftermath of The Fifth Man (5x21 and the first few episodes of season 6) has some worry elements. That's from the top of my head, so I hope it's helpful.

Edit: I know there's a lot of emotional stuff throughout but It's hard to remember the eppy titles.

5X01 High Exposure definitely has some serious Don in danger and people worried about him. 5X11 Arrow of Time is a bit more psychological than action oriented, but it's still Don as the target and everyone else concerned about him.

For long Don-centric fics check out Lisa Paris at http://www.fanfiction.net/u/611295 Especially "Set the Fire", "Benedictus", and "Superheros".

Also, check ALEO. She writes nothing but Don-in-danger stories. She's at http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1253959

Some of my favorite Don-centric stories are "Collateral Damage" by celadon;
http://wwwfanfiction.net/s/2794540/1/

and "Q is for Quarry" by celadon: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3088682/1/Q_is_for_Quarry

and "The Fugitive" by Zubeneschamali at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3723901/1/The_Fugitive

and Rinne's "Time to Free the Monster". It's rated M for questionable sexual scenes, but don't let that stop you. It's fantastic. It's at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6448350/1/Time_to_Free_the_Monster

and "Fradulent Perception" by Jet44 http://wwwfanfiction.net/s/5488277/1/

"Unsigned, Unfinished, and Unknown" by pygmymuse deals with a slightly AU storyline of Don being kidnapped as a child, escaping years later on his own, but not returning home because he didn't feel he was wanted. It's a fantastic look at that side of Don and how he copes with the knowledge that his family really does love him. http://wwwfanfiction.net/s/5743111/1/

Hope these are what you were looking for.

There is also the community hurt_don where the fics revolve around Don being hurt in some way. Enjoy!

I want to thank everyone for the great help! :)
I'm so happy I stumbled across this community!
Just wish more people were writing teenage-Don-angst fic, but hey, maybe I ought to write it myself. ;)
