Author Rec: Audra Rose

[spikedluv]

audrarose has not only written some beautiful Numb3rs fic, she’s a wonderful person, and also the gal I blame credit for getting me hooked on Numb3rs in the first place. She sent me copies of the first season which I practically mainlined, twice, in the course of a few weeks, and the rest, as they say, is history. *g*

The thing I love about Audra’s stories are the gorgeous detail and description she includes. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, I want to write like Audra when I grow up. My only regret is that she is no longer in the fandom to gift us with her wonderful stories, but those she has given us are well worth the read.

The first Numb3rs fic of Audra’s I read, which just happens to be the first she wrote *g*, was The Arms of the Galaxy. She calls it Gen, but even being so new to the fandom that I didn’t know anything except that Don and Charlie were brothers, and even though I still (erroneously, apparently) believed that incest really isn’t my thing, I could clearly see the Don/Charlie vibes.

Title: The Arms of the Galaxy
Author: audrarose
Pairing/Characters: Don, Charlie, Terry
Rating: PG13
Length: 1750 words
A brief excerpt: Don knew they didn’t need to worry, though. He could make Charlie laugh. If Charlie ever went too far, or stayed away too long, Don could always bring him back with funny faces and silly sounds. As long as he could make Charlie laugh, as long as he could make Charlie see him, he knew that Charlie would be okay.

If you’re not into Don/Charlie, she’s also written a Charlie/Larry and a Charlie Colby fic.

If my rec isn’t enough to persuade you, you’ve got all the people who voted for her in last year’s round of Numb3rs Awards. The Arms of the Galaxy won Best Drama (Gen), Belief won Best Humor/Fluff (Gen), her untitled series of fic, Absolution, Resolution, and Connection to Reality, won Best Hurt/Comfort (D/C Slash) and Best Series (D/C Slash), and Sooner or Later (Charlie/Larry) won Best Romance (Other Slash). In addition, she won Best General Author and Best D/C Slash Author. This round, G is for Gamble (Don/Charlie/Edgerton) has been nominated for Best Threesome/Moresome. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you haven’t read her fic. And if you have, give ‘em a re-read. *g*
