Title: after solomon's temple
Author: [livejournal.com profile] maerhys @ [livejournal.com profile] rhysmae
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie, OFC, OMC
Rating: PG
Length: 2.419
Why I'm reccing this fic: This is my first Numb3rs fic and possibly my favorite because of the sensory detail and the OPOV. Also, it wrote itself, which never happens.

Author: [livejournal.com profile] maerhys @ [livejournal.com profile] rhysmae
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie, OMC
Rating: R
Length: 2,851
Why I'm reccing this fic: Stockton!Don is so appealing so writing a fic wherein Charlie visits him there and Don has to choose between his teammates and Charlie was too irresistible.

Rating: NC-17

Why I'm reccing this fic: Possibly my favorite trope to write, but I struggled with how to write it. However, I love how it worked out from the canon references to the sexiness toward the end.

Title: Just One Question
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Colby Granger, Gary Walker (implied Colby/OFC-Callie Walker)
Rating: PG-13 (language)
Length: 2096
Why I'm reccing this fic: This fic is written in a universe where Colby and Callie have been high school sweethearts; a universe where I have so much fun. This particular piece is a conversation between Gary Walker (Callie's dad) and Colby. I'm most proud of it because this was one of the first times I could actually hear the characters voices as I wrote and I think that comes across in the fic. I also enjoyed writing the pre-series look back at Colby's high school and solider days. :)

Just One Question

Title: Picture This
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Ian Edgerton/Nikki Betancourt
Rating: R (adult situations)
Length: 300 x 4
Why I'm reccing this fic: This was a drabble series I wrote after seeing some truly gorgeous pictures of Sophina Brown. Ian/Nikki is my favorite canon pairing and so writing a little fic to keep the long distance relationship interesting was a real treat.

Pairing/Characters: Charlie Eppes, Patrick Jane (The Mentalist, Numb3rs Crossover)
Rating: PG
Length:
Why I'm reccing this fic: Charlie doesn't believe in psychics. It's a good thing Patrick Jane isn't one. This piece was my very first (and only) crossover fic. This was also the first time I'd written Patrick Jane and only the second time I'd written Charlie Eppes. You can imagine how terrifying and exhilarating that experience was. As such, this is a fic I'm really glad to have written.

Author: [livejournal.com profile] castalie
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC17
Length: ~3876 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it’s a perfect example of how the stress of keeping their relationship a secret could affect Don. And it’s hot. *g*
A brief excerpt: It was in cases like this that he felt claustrophobic. Because loving Charlie... sometimes it made him hurt. It was painful and difficult - while at the same time, it seemed to be the easiest thing in the world.

Title: All the Unworkable Workings [tag to 2.12 The OG]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mojokid
Pairing/Characters: Don, Charlie
Rating: PG
Length: ~1797 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: A lovely glimpse of the brothers Eppes.
A brief excerpt: Don shakes his head and shuts his eyes for a moment. When he opens them, they’ve cleared, and he gives Charlie a half-smile that changes his whole face, makes him look like he’s only five years older again, except Charlie can still see the dead note of exhaustion in the slump of his shoulders.

Title: Bogey [tag for 1.12 Noisy Edge]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] dsudis
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: PG13
Length: ~1106 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: A sweet, fun moment between the brothers.
A brief excerpt: Charlie eased back a little, pulling gently away from Don's grip, leaning against the bag of clubs. He smelled leather and dust and Don and freshly-mowed grass, and his brain felt half lulled to sleep; he no longer had the slightest interest in the chalkboards he could see over Don's shoulder.

Author: [livejournal.com profile] 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

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: [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Why I'm reccing this fic: I love Numb3rs and I love The Mentalist. Imagining an interaction between Charlie and Patrick was just something that I couldn't pass up. I think that [livejournal.com profile] mustangcandi captured both characters and brought them to life in a conversation that I think you'll agree would most certainly take place if these two encountered one another.
