Why I'm reccing this fic: Sometimes the angst just hurts so damned good. And then you get the hotness and a happy ending, which makes it perfect.
A brief excerpt:
He hasn't slept in days, the lines on the board are blurry and he's not sure if it's due to sleep deprivation or simply illegible handwriting or a combination of the two. He's so close to a breakthrough he can taste it. But he can't focus and he's starting to take micronaps.
He puts down the chalk and sets his alarm clock for three hours time. He wakes nearly eighteen hours later to discover that he's missed four classes and two days of office hours. It's a Thursday.
When he returns to the chalkboards he discovers that they truly are indecipherable and his near breakthrough was only an illusion. He erases the blackboards, slides down the wall to the floor, puts his head on his arms and weeps.
Friday he returns to class to discover that Larry and Amita have covered for him. This then, is his life. Larry, Amita, his father, his classes and his work. Sunday morning Megan calls to ask for Charlie's help with a case. He says yes.
