FIC: "Big Girls Don't Cry" for odogoddess
Recipient: psyfic
Author: ragdoll
Title: Big Girls Don't Cry
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Charlie Weasley/Millicent Bulstrode, Charlie/OFC, mention of past Millicent/Theodore Nott
Word Count: ~11,000
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *forced bondage, hurt/comfort, verbal humiliation by OCs, frottage, hand-jobs*.
Summary:When Millicent Bulstrode was found guilty of colluding with known Death Eaters, she was forced to endure two years of indentured servitude at the Romanian Dragon Reserve waiting hand and foot on Charlie Weasley. It doesn't get more draconian than that.
Author's Notes: psyfic, I was elated when I got your assignment and tried to give you as many things that you loved as I could. This was not even close to what I had originally planned on writing for you (or who!) but these two shouted the loudest and made their demands known. I certainly had fun giving in to them. I hope you enjoy it and will forgive me for the lack of Snapeness.

Thanks to R. for all of her support and nurturing, as well as K and S for betaing and cheerleading, and of course bethbethbeth for being so patient and understanding.

I enjoyed this, it's well written and I think it's really quite realistic. In the aftermath of war the rules are made by the victors, and justice can be a bit rough and ready. And the prisons might well be full.

Millicent bore her situation with dignity, and was lucky to end up with Charlie Weasley who, for all his imperfections, has the basic decency and tolerance you would expect in Arthur Weasley's son.

I liked that Charlie wanted to find her something more stimilating to do than housework, that the Dragon Healer recognised her potential and wanted to develop it, and that Charlie would do nothing to jeopardise her chances.

All in all, a nicely crafted story.

Thank you so much for all the kind words. As much as JKR wants us to root for the good guy Gryffindors (and I generally *do*), I find the all-Slytherins-are-evil-cowards thing a bit much and like to show diversity amongst all Houses. And even the best people with the best intentions can be right bastards when they get put into power...

I am so glad you liked it and liked the portrayals of both characters. Thank you again. :)
