A/N: Oh my. I've missed you all so much. You look wonderful; have you lost weight?
The sad news: my laptop has died, ladies and gents, and so updates will be sporadic at best as I try to save it/buy a new one.
The happy news: er...I've written you a little drabble?
For tmmdeathwishraven who requested CharlieRemus with the prompt dragons. I'm not sure it's exactly what you wanted, m'dear, and it's quite short, but here it is!
(Don't worry, other requests will come. This one just kind of attacked me. On a bus. At nine in the morning.)
Prompt: 14. Challenge
Pairing: Remus Lupin/Charlie Weasley
He's not quite as dangerous as your dragons.
But you can see it in his eyes.
He's got that anger, bottled up. He's got that fire-flare, that incessant need to burn. He's got that darkness, right beneath his skin and he's got that need, the need to fly and watch the world shrink beneath him.
But he's got that smile, too. That smile that says it's okay, I'm okay, even though you know he's not.
But maybe he is. Maybe he thinks he is. Maybe he believes he's okay and maybe that's enough to let him keep the smile on his face and the fire in eyes, maybe that's enough to keep him contained.
Maybe he is dangerous.
Maybe he's a lot more like your dragons than you thought.
And you've always been drawn to danger, haven't you, Charlie? Always did like a challenge, you.
So what are you waiting for?
(The wolf in his eyes can see you, you know. He's waiting for you to pounce.)
