Kids?

Hi there!

I'm new in this fandom and I'm interested in reading some gen, pre-series stories. Them as teenagers or younger would be just perfect. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

This actually is not quite what you're looking for, but it's the first thing I thought of...:

Belief (http://audrarose.livejournal.com/34182.html) by audrarose. Takes place around Season 1, but mentions quite a few childhood moments and memories. Beautiful, kind of melancholy story.

If I think of some others I'll let you know. Welcome to the fandom! I don't know if you'll find any pre-series fic there, but for gen you might try numb3rs_gen_het.

I'll pimp myself if that's ok. :)

Always Travel in Pairs (http://community.livejournal.com/numb3rs_slash/325554.html) is a 24/Numb3rs crossover speculating on what might have happened if a 13 year old Charlie met a teenaged Jack Bauer and how their friendship turns them into the adults we know now.

I wrote something last summer for the alphabet challenge where Don attempts to teach Charlie to bat after his first starting high school varsity baseball game. I wasn’t using livejournal at the time, so it’s up at ff.net.

There's also Afternoon Cartoons by sori1773, and I wrote a little ficlet, Invisible.

Variable Star (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3517044/1/) has a big flashback chunk of teenage Don and pre-teen Charlie in the middle.

Thank you so much for the tip. I haven't read almost anything in this fandom so I will take any fics you consider worthy reading :)

Yay, thank you! :)

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy it!

A lot of my favorite fics are slash or at least rated R/NC-17, so let me know if you're interested in any of that.

Here's another gen story I love: Attached (http://dira.ficlaundering.com/n/attached.html) by dsudis.

I have tons of gen fic so it's hard to remember all of it.

I can tell you I have a whole series of Don and Charlie pre-series gen. It's just not teen years, more after Margaret's death and before the series begins.

Two Brothers Series (http://emmademarais.livejournal.com/2006/12/26/)

I also have a series that is part Wee!Eppes, part pre-series gen and part slash. If you don't want slash just avoid the penguin fic.

The Hanukkah Series (http://emmademarais.livejournal.com/2006/01/05/)

Hope you like them...

Thank you so much! I will definitely check them out :)
