Fic rec: Conference Wives series

For an enjoyable drabble series, I recommend --

Title:
Conference Wives series
Author:[info]dance_the_code
[Unknown site tag]Pairing/Characters:  Don/Coop, Charlie/Ian (eventually), Megan/Larry, Colby/David, various
Rating:  Mostly PG with the occasional NC-17 part
Length: Really long in short pieces (though not all are technically drabbles)
Basic premise:  Several years ago, Charlie was the sperm donor for a lesbian couple that were his good friends and colleagues.   (And he usually only saw them at conferences, hence the name.)
Why I'm reccing this fic:  This drabble series is a lot of fun to follow as it goes through many moods and subplots.  There's a prequel that shows Charlie at college and his time with these two women, but most of the story is after the two women die and Charlie suddenly finds himself as a single parent to a precocious three-year-old boy named Isaac.  Along the way, many things happen such as Isaac matches real people with the wild stories he'd been told (Don is a super hero), Coop buys a canoe, Ian bakes a cake and falls in love with Charlie, Charlie gets kidnapped with only Isaac as a witness, Alan has trouble dealing with a sniper for a son-in-law, etc.
