Searching for slash Don/Charlie reqs. Prefer Long fics

[m-jadis.livejournal.com]

Hello all! I hope this is allowed. If not, delete me, or if there is a better comm for this, please direct me.


I'm very new fan to this fandom. I'm almost through season three, and I guess because of the strike there is no real season four?


What I need from you wonderful folks is a fic recc primer for a new fan. I am either after a Don/Charlie pairing or Charlie with whomever and concerned about Don's reaction to finding out he's involved with someone else. What are those stories that everyone knows about? Who are the authors for me to start with? I've fallen head first into this gorgeous new fandom and I have no real idea where to start!

Thanks so much!

I can't point you to a specific fic, but I can point you to a site with loads of good fic, among other things.

Numb3rs.org Fan Rush Forums (sometimes referred to as Fan Rush, Numb3rs.org.)

The Lounge holds episode discussion threads, character/pairing threads, and general discussion. (The first post says Sticky: Newbie thread. Very good reference for newbies!)
http://fanrush.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=45&f=6

The Fanfiction Forum holds all the fanfiction on Numb3rs.org. (Note: It is a PG-13 forum.)

Have you seen spikedluv's page on newbieguide?

Sorry I couldn't give you fic recs, I only found out about this at the beginning of the third season.

Hope this helps! :)

Hey, welcome to the fandom! If you need the direct link to the newbie guide that crimeshowbuff93 mentioned, it's here (http://community.livejournal.com/newbieguide/11697.html).

The Fan Rush forums have some great fanfic, but you're not going to find Don/Charlie there. :-) Some of my favorite D/C authors are: emmademarais (fic (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=emmademarais)), dsudis (fic (http://dira.ficlaundering.com/n/index.html)), missmollyetc (fic (http://missmollyetc.livejournal.com/237177.html)), raeyashi (fic (http://raeyashi.livejournal.com/111365.html)), audrarose (fic (http://audrarose.livejournal.com/80066.html#cutid4)), penguingal (fic (http://community.livejournal.com/penguin_fics/)), and neur0vanity (fic (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=neur0vanity&keyword=%2A+NV%27s+Fan+Fic&filter=all)).

When I got into the fandom, I spent a lot of time going through the memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=numb3rs_slash) at numb3rs_slash. These days they're not being updated anymore, but there's a lot of good stuff there.

And finally, one of the "classic" Don/Charlie fics is Parallel Connections Over Symmetric Spaces (http://www.rosenbaumcity.com/Temp/parallel.html) by Dale Edmonds.

ETA: Also, this isn't a blanket rec since I haven't read all of these authors, but you might find it helpful: Master List of Master Lists (http://community.livejournal.com/numb3rs_notice/239785.html).

ETA2 (last one, I promise): You also might like to check out n3_slashchat. It's a good place to make Numb3rs friends. :-)

When I first started reading Numb3rs fic, I found the lists of nominees in the Numb3rs awards run by SpikedLuv to be very helpful. http://community.livejournal.com/numb3rs_awards

Perfect! Thanks so much. Off into heaven!

Terrific idea. After taking a peek it looks wonderful. Thanks!

Hey there! Welcome to Numb3rs! Looks like you've gotten quite a few recs. I'll second the nominations at numb3rs_awards, as I've found awards in new fandoms to be a gold mine of great fic, and I'd like to think our awards serves as the same. *g*

Also, please edit your post to include a subject line that describes your search. Thanks.
