I'm so glad that you took the time to do this! The idea of Charlie VS Fate came to me also when I was looking at this challenge. It's a great concept and you've worked it like a dream.
First off I have to ask where you got that gorgeous Dom picture? I've never seen it before. It makes a beautiful banner!
I loved these lines (I've no idea how to use italics on LJ like everyone else so I'm putting them in quotation marks...)
"Maybe this was one of the battles that he wasn’t supposed to win."
"Charlie didn’t want to be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life for the one bully that he knew he was never going to be able to beat."
I think you're right that Charlie was too humble and felt so insignificant and worthless that he wouldn't fight this battle just to save himself (even though he wanted to live). His concern for his friends was his priority. Still it makes me sick that the 'bully' won. Charlie had the moral victory and rose above his abuse, but how can anyone feel positive about 'fate' when it was so cruel and merciless towards one man?
