"Beggars for Roses" (PG) C&C

[literarylemming.livejournal.com]

TITLE: Beggars for Roses
AUTHOR: Mnemosyne

Disclaimer: ils ne sont pas à moi (God I hope I have that right, LOL!)
SUMMARY: Charlie and Claire pause to gather flowers.
RATING: PG
SPOILERS: Possible up to and including "Outlaws"
CHARACTERS: Charlie/Claire
NOTES:
This was inspired while I was reading Robert Frost's beautiful poem "Asking for Roses." I've always been a fan of Frost's work; he's able to capture so effortlessly the beauty of the natural world. His verse is so descriptive it can't help but conjure pictures in the reader's head. When that reader is likewise a diehard Lostaway, there's nothing for it but to give in and follow the bunnies where they lead. LOL! Please enjoy! And read the poem when you get the chance -- it will do you good. :-D


( Tis summer again; there's two come for roses... )

I am so woefully behind on commenting- I've been absolutely devouring your gorgeous Charlie/Claire stories the last couple of days. (along with Teffy's; the two of you have given me more fantastic reading material than I know what to do with! *g*)

This one is no exception; just beautiful. I loved how you made Claire's natural sweetness and goodness shine, and I also loved the hint of the creepy you worked in there. ; ) I have a feeling that *nothing* can be all peace and light on *that* island. *g*

Simply fantastic writing, as always. Thanks so much for sharing, and please, please keep up the great work! : ) - Jen

Thank you so much! Teffy's a gem, isn't she? I love her to pieces! :-D

I'm so glad you liked the story! It was impossible to keep out the creepy -- after all, what DID happen to the owner of that spade? ;) But I'm so happy you enjoyed it, and all my stories so far. Thank you so much!
