for Bucket Of Salt

6/8 c41 12Turrislucidus
Does Charlie love Wonka dearly, as he tells himself? Because lying to Mr. Wonka and keeping secrets from him isn't all that endearing, when ya think about it, and even when ya don't think about it that deeply. Who's Charlie kidding here?

But Mr. Wonka is the fool here he usually is, when it comes to the duplicity of others, knowing, as he says, that Charlie's deception of choice is lies of omission. Is Charlie a fool, too? Having traded one person who insists it's his-way-or-the-highway, for another person who insists on the very same thing?

And poor old, long-suffering Mum: she could go as well, but no, she can't, the Veruca secret would be out, and Mum would tell Mr. Wonka, or she wouldn't tell Mr. Wonka, and then SHE'D be lying to Mr. Wonka, so now, Charlie is contemplating lying to HER, as well as to Mr. Wonka ... Gosh, this is fun: such a tangled web. Thanks for spinning it.

Oh, that poor concierge! Shame on Veruca for berating him like that! Fingers crossed that the banquet will go better.

In other news, the absent tan line that Herp mistakenly thought that he saw on Veruca's finger has me interested. Might this have been based on a preoccupation he had (whether it was actually the case or a false assumption) of Charlie wanting to make something official with her?

Haha, I love the invented "braggadocious" adjective!

Hmm, so Veruca insists on an opposite reaction to being humble when faced with such circumstances, as someone who knows her would expect. I look forward to seeing how she'll behave when she and Charlie get there.

Another great chapter!

Firstly, I liked Mr. Wonka's characterization in this chapter. It was perfectly in canon for his personality, so kudos to you for that.

Secondly, I liked the mention of Mrs. Bucket. You think you could mention Mr. Bucket, or some of Charlie's grandparents later on, just so we know what happened to them, if anything?

Lastly, I hope Veruca learns to be more humble! Otherwise, their relationship could come crumbling down! I can't wait for the next chapter!

Augustus, Violet, and Mike appearing? That's one heck of a plot twist! I can't wait to see what'll happen next!

On the other hand, I was totally not expecting Mr. Wilkinson to appear! I like how you made this version's backstory similar to the 1971 version, while still adding new details and tweaking others to make him a unique character to enjoy. I hope we'll see him in more chapters!

Ooooo, is Veruca finally getting attracted to Charlie at last? Can't wait for the next chapter!

Oh, wow! Another great chapter! Is that character development with Veruca I see? Guess I'll have to wait for the next chapter :)

How shocking (no pun intended)! Who would have guessed that a common Loompaland item could be used as a drug? I'm glad to know that Charlie made it through okay, since this is a flashback.

The hallucination of the girl screaming reminds me of Charlie's dream flashback much earlier in this story. Perhaps the memory was triggered again?

What a crazy chapter! Keep up the great work!

Dammit, I hate cliffhangers.

But this was some good progress for their budding relationship. Loved this chapter

Another great chapter! Was Veruca being a ballerina a musical reference?

In other news, wow, Veruca! I knew you were demanding, but killing others to get your way?! That's just sadistic. For shame, Veruca Salt. For shame.

Ouch, what a disturbance for the restaurant! I wonder if Veruca will be reported to the management, and just how Charlie might explain this?

I remember some years back when Steve Harvey accidentally crowned the runner-up Miss America instead of the winner. Veruca being on either end of that situation would NOT be a pretty picture (no pun intended)!

HAHAHA...clever joke with the political and early draft stuff! Seriously, that made my day.
2/15 c31 14Gs33022
Oh my gosh this is the best chapter yet! I loved how you expanded on Wonka's backstory, and how you referenced Clarence Crump as one of the US presidents, along with the Warming Candies. I also adored the references to Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, as I believe that book is underrated. I am curious though, if the eavesdropping paid off and a phony Great Glass Elevator was built after all.
