Ace!Charles Fic List 🖤🤍💜

Hello yes, I would like all of you to know that I have written multiple permutations of ace and/or aro!Charles.

Dedicated especially to @blue-ravens and @genderqueer-klinger

Tumblr:

X Marks the Spot (ace) - Charles gets ahold of the Kinsey Scale in a canon missing scene.

Those Who Came Before (ace) - Charles sees the ace flag for the first time.

Solidarity (ace!Charles, demi!BJ) - Charles and BJ have a little chat where they both get acquainted a little better.

Safe h-AVEN (ace!Charles) - Modern AU where Charles and Hawk are in college together, and Hawk introduces Charles to AVEN.

AO3

swifter than the arrow (aro/ace) - Charles and Potter have a chat (549 words)

The Home Universe (biromantic demi/gray-ace) - various, Charles starts off in the universe ace and stays that way; Charles/Donna (also BJ/Peg/Hawk in most stories), go from engaged to married 💜

+ Other stories tagged with "Ace!Charles" where it's not a specific plot point:

i cant stop thinking of the gif of the kiwi jumping around its so funny the way that thing moves like gravity doesn’t care about it it just prances wildly and freely it falls over but it doesn’t care it just keeps moving and having fun and just keeps hopping and the party never stops it’s legitimately one of my favorite pieces of media on the internet the joy it brings me is unbridled

look at it again

Thinking about how most of the 4077 get lovely care packages from home - cards, photographs, baked goods, clothing - and Charles’ parents send him their fucking taxes to do for them

Charles's parents also send him nice care packages all the time! He gets the winter coat, the mineral water in Nurse Doctor, and there are a number of occasions I don't recall the specifics of where he has luxury items they specifically sent him.

He also gets nice food (caviar) and expensive port sent to him from home as well. I strongly suspect that the Winchesters might that kind of posh blue blood WASPy family who aren't good at expressing warmth verbally but use gift giving as a "love language."

Also also, given what Charles says about having his fill of psychiatrists by the age of 9, and given his brother’s death, it seems they also cared enough to send him to said psychiatrists.

(As a side note, Lorraine also sends her checkbook to Henry to balance in the early seasons so it isn’t even just Charles - he was just helping the fam commit tax fraud, as you do.)

His mother sent him the toboggan hat. He didn't know or ask for it, he was completely surprised by it, and it cheered him up after being in a bad place for a while. I don't know if I can sit with the idea his parents were that cartoonishly horrible to their children, but that's not to say they weren't emotionally distant and "hands off" as parents like has already been suggested by other reblogs to this post. They weren't horrible people, just horrible at being parents. They gave their kids anything they could have needed and wanted, no questions asked, that's not disputed. Charles and Honoria missed out on so much more, as was alluded to in "Sons and Bowlers': quality time, emotional support and closeness, and physical affection. There was love there, just not always expressed in a very emotionally affectionate way.

A mother sent her son a beloved childhood memento while he was stuck in a literal war zone because he was missing home so much. That says a lot to me, tbh.
