Title: Be Careful What You Wish For

Word Count: 1284
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: projected spoilers up to the end of S4
Summary: He didn’t mean to do it – any of it. He never wanted to hurt any of them the way he has. It’s unforgivable what he’s done to each of their lives. But it’s hard to control yourself when every whim you make seemingly comes to life and the people you left behind have a habit of infuriating you. Written for my 50_darkfics prompt "59. destruction"
Disclaimer: dbah!Charlie isn’t mine and neither are any of the other characters that I’ve mentioned in here. Lyrics in the cut are from "Lucky" by Bif Naked.

( How could I ever get over you, when I’d give my life for yours? )

Title: From The Ashes
Characters: Claire, Charlie
Word Count: 1817

Spoilers: based on my own speculation for the rest of S4 after seeing the preview for episodes 9 and onwards

Disclaimer: in case you haven’t figured it out yet…these people aren’t mine.

( I believe in love surviving death into eternity. )

Title: The Man In The Mirror
Author: Ellin/sapphire_child
Fandom: Lost
Characters: Charlie
Prompt: 27. Narcissus
Word Count: 1559
Rating: PG
Author's Notes: This is more angsty than dark but too bad. This story documents Charlie’s struggle to find acceptance in our modern world where physical beauty is so prized. In the end, he begins to realise that the only person whose opinion really matters is his own. Lyrics in the cut are from "Mirror, Mirrow" by M2M.

( Mirror mirror lie to me, show me what I want to see... )
