Standard Disclaimer: They're not mine. You don't sue, I don't cry. Oh, yeah…the quote in the summary: it came from Jean Racine, a French playwright. Oh almost forget…the title was inspired by The Walkmen song Revenge Wears No Wrist Watch. Excellent song by an awe-inspiring band. Listen to them. Trust me, I know shit.

Title: Times Wears No Wrist Watch

Author: Cusswords

Rating: Teen

Warnings: Spoilers for season nine.

Summary: "There are no secrets that time does not reveal." Casey Novak—ADA, single mother, girlfriend extraordinaire—learns her lesson the hard way when a blast from the past and a tragedy force her to take desperate measures. Casey/Chester. C/E & C/O friendship.

Read Me: Here is the re-write of Defining the Nest as promised!

A few things before we begin:

-This version takes place during late season nine (2007-2008). Casey and Chester's exits tie heavily into the plot.

-Robin gets a big brother this go round. His name's Rafe and Casey catapulted him into the world in '93—four years before his little sister.

-In canon, Casey met Charlie her during her second year of law school. In the mind of Margaux, she and Charlie met the second semester of her first year of undergrad. Everybody loves my fan wanks, huh? Say word? Word!

-Warning: I'm apologizing now for any other fan wanks I may pull during the writing of this story.

-Numéro Deux d'alerte: While I may have some free time now, my schedule can be overwhelmingly busy at times. My goal is to update once a week, more than that if time and my muse permit. Update gaps my happen, but I will try to keep this story from being abandoned.

Moving on? Moving on…
