Is there a beta on board? :D? :D?
Remember Dorky!Darwin? Remember how I said that it would be awesome if I could find fics about his dorky self? Remember that I said that if I couldn't find those fics, I'd write one myself?
Yeah, I didn't find the fics. So...
I have 1908 words (how I managed to write that much I'll never know) about this chubby face here
(I don't know. I started writing faily teenage!Dorky!Darwin fic and then it was all faily child!Dorky!Darwin fic. Don't ask.)
and I think they really need some betaing, because this is what they look like now
The Autumn before Charlie turns six, Eras is sent to boarding school. That means that Charlie is left alone in the house with three older sisters who don't want to ruin their dresses sliding down the stairs, a younger sister who is a five-year-old, and a mother whose delicate health won't allow her to play with him like Eras did.
Charlie starts coming up with fables to pass the time and make his older sisters pay attention to him; they listen for a while, but they grow bored quickly, they give him an indulgent smile and then tell him it's time to start his homework. He tries getting their attention by hiding their ribbons and trinkets and then playing the hero by "finding" what was lost. It's much more difficult to break into his sisters' rooms now that Eras is not there to guard his back, but he manages. As far as plans-to-get-attention go, this one works.
That is, until Caroline catches him "stealing" her mother-of-pearl hairpin. Then it doesn't work anymore.
So. Who wants to beta? :D?

Also, historical accuracy? There's no such thing as historical accuracy... all I know about living in the 19th century I learned... somewhere? Basically, I tried to stay clear of details that could show how little I know about that period.
Cunning, right? :D?
