FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 1/? anonymous June 14 2011, 01:20:03 UTC

"Are you sure? I can come back for this." He waved his hand at the stack of books he was buying, his other hand still tapping an impatient tattoo on the counter. He didn't appear to be noticing anything around him, much less the three employees.

Still, Charles persevered. Oftentimes disgruntled customers were just looking for a friendly chat to turn their day around, and being nice had never cost him anything. Especially not being nice to tall Saxon gods in bomber jackets. "No, it's fine now, promise," he said, sliding the pile over to Raven, who began typing in the numbers. While she did, Charles took the opportunity to scan the titles. The Book of Daniel... Catch-22... The Big Sleep... He couldn't help himself; he tapped the Chandler with a fingertip. "If you like this one, get The Long Goodbye next. It's ( ... )

love this.

Re: FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 2/? anonymous June 14 2011, 02:17:26 UTC

I really have a soft spot for Raven in these two fills. She always tries to get her brother laid. And she has a very discriminating taste.

Brilliant start, anon! I can't wait for Charles to find out that Erik is a competitor.

FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 3/? anonymous June 14 2011, 04:45:43 UTC

thank you guys for the feedback, it's definitely very motivating. XD glad you're enjoying it so far!The next day was the first Friday of the month. This was something of an event in the town of Barnes; all the local businesses would stay open a bit later than usual, hosting winetastings or live music or other events. It was a great way to get people out and about, and Bindings had taken to capitalizing on it by inviting well-known authors for signings and readings ( ... )

"Something we can help you with?" Charles offered a polite smile as he hooked his arm through Raven's again, shooting her a fast quelling look.

"Just stopping in," the other man replied with a shrug. "Heard you were having a guest reader, thought I'd come check it out."

"Really?" Charles was more surprised. "You didn't strike me as a fantasy reader."

Eyebrows went up, and the stranger chuckled. "I live to defy expectations. Though now that you mention it, I promised my daughter I'd bring her home something new. She's read The Hobbit twenty times if she's read it once. Have any recommendations ( ... )

"You are such a disappointment," Raven declared on Saturday morning, breezing in ten minutes late for her shift balancing a travel tray and a bag from Felicia's on one hand and texting someone with the other ( ... )

After he was gone Charles picked up his latte and dug in the bag for whatever horrible sweet pastry Raven had brought him that day. "Blueberry?" he mused, inspecting it before taking a bite. "Blueberry," he repeated with a nod, taking another bite. "You must've forgotten to be put out with me when you stopped at Felicia's," he said to Raven as he came up to lean against the till counter. "You know I love the blueberry ones ( ... )

YAY, UPDATE!

I love the banter between Charles and Raven. The fact that they're siblings really comes across.

Erik is a smooth, sexy and snarky bastard. And all that smirking! Charles, you'd better get a handle of things soon and kiss that smirk off of his face, kay?

I am so looking forward to Charlie boy taking on the competition (PUN INTENDED!)! :DDDDDDD

Re: FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 6/? anonymous June 15 2011, 11:51:30 UTC

Yay, comments! :D I'm so glad you're enjoying this. Charles will definitely be kissing the smirk off his face, I just don't know how long it'll take him; this has gotten away from me and is looking likely to be well over 10k words by the time I'm done. Eek! Anyway thanks for commenting, I'm glad to know you're liking it!

Re: FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 6/? salvamisandwich June 14 2011, 12:20:22 UTC

Yes! Awesome! Cannot wait for more! Also, loving the aside book recs!

Re: FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 6/? anonymous June 15 2011, 11:52:40 UTC

Thanks so much for commenting! I'm trying to fit as many books in as possible, haha, that's half of a good book shop fic I think. XD Glad you're liking it!

Re: FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 6/? poptartmuse June 14 2011, 15:33:17 UTC

OMG THIS IS FANTASTIC!

"Complimenting, in my experience, doesn't go on for half an hour at a time," Raven said, adamant, and was about to say more when another, deeper voice behind them interrupted.

"Then whoever's been complimenting you hasn't been doing it right."

Hnnnnnnngh how hilarious/sexy/amazing!!!

loved the bit with Charles getting "outcharmed," GAHHHH i love it. LOVE!!

*waits with baited breath for more*

Re: FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 6/? anonymous June 15 2011, 11:58:13 UTC

YAY I'm so glad you like it! :D I think this version of Erik always tries to be as cool as possible (to hide all his FEELINGS, naturally XD) which will aggravate Charles, who operates almost entirely on sincerity. Also this story has become a monster; I have at least 10 more parts planned, maybe more. I blame you for the excellent prompt. XD

Re: FILL : a thousand pages (give or take a few) : 6/? thedustwhispers June 14 2011, 20:06:18 UTC

I love the characterization here! Great story so far :)
