I could literally feel Charlie's pain during this story, I feel so bad for him. How could Renee just leave him like that? I always hoped for them to get back together, really. It's ashame it'll never happen in SM's world but screw that because it IS happening in the Fanfiction world. I just wish SM would have given more depth to Charlie's character, instead of making him out to be the bad guy half of the time. Charlie and Sue made an *okay* couple at the end of BD, but Sue can NEVER share that special bond with Charlie that Renee has. After all, she was his first love and mother of his baby girl ;) Great story <3

That was sad, but nice. Very well written. Plus it was unique. I don't think in all my Twifics I have read one about Charlie and Renee uniting again even if only temporary. encore :)

OMG.
Did you win this? Because you damn well should have. Excellent, I have a new respect for Charlie as a character thanks to this. Loved it as always.

Brilliant story. I feel really sorry for charlie

Beautiful!

Wow, that was amazing. You have a beautiful writing style, and the last line was gorgeous.

Jeez, putting my ** charlie story to shame :D

Great work!

how do you do what you do. i'm sad with charlie in the beginning, then i have with him, then i'm happy with him, and then we're sad again.-sigh- the wonders of life. i like the one-shot. it's nice seeing more of charlie and renee.

<3 the way you portrayed these two infrequently used characters. Great job, as usual! :)

So much feeling in this one chapter! I can't wait for the next part of the story. Great writing, you can really get a reader caught up in the tale with a few short, well placed words! ^^

This site needs more stories like these. Beautiful and heartbreaking--especially the firework similes--and you've inspired me to write a Charlie fic of my own!

Beautiful and very sad...your exact MO!
