Title: Brothelers Universe
Author: dsudis
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie with Amita, David, Colby, Larry, Alan
Rating: PG - NC-17
Length: 15 one-shots | 27,000 words total
Why I'm reccing this fic: I've yet to find a story by Dira that I am not in love with but I pulled back from this because I don't care for hooker!fic. However, that's the trope – not the story. Instead, this is pitch-perfect characterization with some of the best Don/Charlie interaction I've had the pleasure to read. The weaving between pre-series and the current is incredibly well-done as are the supporting players who come alive in a new setting but the same old characters that we know and love.

Title: Numbers Running
Author: alf_fic
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie with mentions of other characters
Rating: NC-17
Length: 5,383 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I know nothing of The Sentinel other than several of my friends have been in the fandom since Caesar ruled, but this caught my eyes because Don and Charlie as bounty hunters? Intrigued. This tale begins with tragedy but it builds up itself to create a rich story of love and loss and finding love again – and holding on to it tightly.

Title: What You Are
Author: jaredsexual
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: 9,636 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Built upon the premise of "what if Margaret and Alan died while Don and Charlie were just reaching adulthood, how would their lives changed?" This is an AU full of twists and turns that I never would have guessed but it all works because the characterization sticks. The original characters are fresh and fun, which the Don and Charlie here seem a little surer, a little more grown up in the light of their tragedy.
