The Last Thing They Expected by dollydani (Challenge #1 'Last')

[umbralillium.livejournal.com]

This may seem pretty familiar to anyone who read the original draft that was up briefly a couple days ago. Well, one scene in particular was bugging me, so I went in and reworked the story a little. The premise is the same, just with a few differences. I apologize for any confusion the switch may have caused.

Title: The Last Thing They Expected
Pairing/Characters: Charles Eppes/Colby Granger
Rating/Category: PG-13
Word Count: 4,471
Spoilers: Calculated Risk
Summary: Things don’t go quite as Charlie and Colby planned
Notes/Warnings: I had hoped that I’d be able to write these two without angst, but the plot bunnies said otherwise. *sigh* Don’t you just hate it when they do that? Future!fic (takes place 7 months after ‘Calculated Risk’). I hope I don’t turn off too many readers by introducing an OFC. I don’t know where exactly CalSci is located, so I made my own assumptions. Cuca’s is an actual restaurant near my home in Southern California and they really do have the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted. Written for Challenge #1 ‘Last’.
