Oh thank you, this is exactly what I wanted. I felt like these two would just bounce off each other well; Parvati is sarcastic and sort of cynical from what we get to know of her, and Charlie is so earnest, and I think they'd keep each other on their toes. I COULD SHIP THIS AND THEY NEVER MET. Why so many great minor characters in this 'verse?

To whit: this is lovely, thank you.
