LF stories where Amita took the other job

[tobbles-plink.livejournal.com]

Ok I can't remember if the other position was with Harvard or Yale.  I think it was Harvard but I'm really not sure.  Anyway I was wondering if there's any stories out there were she did leave and took the position, thus killing any chance at a relationship with Charlie.  Or better yet has anyone continued the series with her gone to the other job as an AU from that point?  I like her as an actress and I do like her character on the show but I really, really do not like her and Charlie together. There's no sparkage between them and honestly all the scenes with them being romantic just fall flat for me.

Thanks for your help!

Wow! I've never heard anyone say that before and I feel the same! I like Amita a lot and I like she and Charlie as buddies, but I agree there isn't even a hint of heat. In fact, while I feel Liz and Don would never work out, I will miss that relationship because it's the only one I see on the show with any smoke and fire.

I think the reason we don't like Amita is universal to many romantic interests. We can't invest in the relationship because we haven't been given the chance to invest in her as a character. She is introduced right of the bat as 'the girl' for our protagonist. From that moment on, there is no real character development for her other than to set her up as the one Charlie is supposed to be with. She has no real identity of her own which makes it hard for us to care about her and then the more she is forced upon us, the more she is heralded as the obvious and only girl in the world for a character we DO care about, well, I for one grow to resent characters like that.

This description reminds me of the CSI relationship between Grissom and Sara Sidle. Is this the wrong spot to make such a comment?
