Smiling Man
Moving to New Orleans to start up her rehabilitation hotel for criminals hasn't been all berries for Charlie, especially if everybody thinks you're some Dumb Dora with a complete horseshit plan.
And it's another jam that she's starting to get stuck on Alastor, the charming yet eccentric radio host next door who's never fully dressed without a smile.
But she's all smiles too, and that's made her out to be quite the dish to Alastor - in all senses of the word - and boy, was he ready to be entertained.

This is not fanfiction, there’s no way!
The intricacy and deep character exploration, 20’s diction, pacing (slowburn—perfection!), everything’s amazing.
The characterizations of Charlie Magne and Alastor Carlon are really entertaining by themselves and as parallels. (Although it’s OOC a24 al)
My mere words cannot represent my mind. This story is a masterpiece.
Truly, it is one of the best stories I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Almost 400k words, a 910 paged document I was able to devour within the span of a week.
I give my kudos to Muse for creating an impressionable story. It had a minute cult following in its prime, revered by many and graced with beautiful fan artwork.
Please, read it on AO3 and I hope others will cherish this as I do/many others have.
