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.

Characters who are human beings and have flaws are one of my biggest kinks and you hit that one hard with this story. Your Millicent is grand. She is aware of her flaws, excuses some of them to herself, and stands up for herself. As for Charlie, this is one of the better portrayals that I've seen of him. He is who he is, doesn't suffer fools gladly, is oblivious to the people around him at least as often as not, and still has a heart as big as it gets.

I was glad to see them actually talk it out at the end, instead of stomping around, throwing out nasty-grams, and not communicating (one of my anti-kinks when done too often or as a convenient plot device). This is a story I'll come back to and read again.

♥ Thanks so much for all the kind words, my dear. I actually love flawed characters and love to play with that myself, so am glad you enjoyed it too. It was a bit difficult writing Millicent here -- she kept wanting more free rein and I had to hold her back because the situation she was in. On the other hand, I didn't want her to be a mopey, weepy little thing either because that's so not her. So glad she worked out the way I intended. As for Charlie, well, you know I love to write him -- warts and all. He's fun to mess with.

I couldn't see them not talking it out in the end -- there was a lot of baggage to be dealt with so fighting one minute, then falling into bed (well, SOFA) the next wouldn't have worked for me. I think I have the same anti-kink. To me, communication is key in the end.

Your comments really made my day. Thank you again. :)
