Author rec: Umbralillium

[irena-adler.livejournal.com]

When I first started reading Numb3rs fanfic last summer, about the only one writing Charlie/Colby was umbralillium (at that time, Dani Kitten, now Lily Sheridan).  Luckily, the adage of “beggers can’t be choosers” didn’t apply here, since Lily is an excellent writer. She’s written a variety of series with C/C, including AU, and covers my favorite things to see in fanfic – quality Ocs, agents with kids, angsty romance, banter, family situations, good action, hot sex … I’m afraid she’s off mostly writing Supernatural these days, but she’s left us with some great reading!

I debated which particular story to rec, and decided to go with Precious Moments. It’s AU, with the main difference being Charlie doesn’t work with the FBI. This doesn’t mean a great deal except for the fact that Colby and Charlie first meet on the dance floor. Steamy dancing is followed by steamy in-the-dark-hallway sex followed by Colby taking Charlie home for more sex and sweet morning-after talk.  The next day Colby is completely distracted at work, then floored when the reason for his distraction walks into the office …
