Sticks in the Knapsack was one of my all-time favorite fics from 2019. It’s named after a collection of Ozark folk tales, one of which is my favorite story, Alligators. This story explored a bestial Charlie and an overarching theme of life and death. It ended up being quite fun and we returned to it again a few years later to see where it would go with the characters grown in different ways.
