He Was Perfect, She Was Not; The Reynolds Twins - A Character Study by anoreynolds
Fandoms: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
10 Jul 2025

Summary
A look at the lives of Dee and Dennis Reynolds year by year, spanning from 1980 at 4 years old and finishing in 2024 at 48.
I wrote it based on what age they'd be each year having been born in 1976 while also keeping with events that happen in the show, so it may read as if various events happened earlier/later than they do on screen. It's mostly to help the reader visualise but I'll put a guide in the notes!

Summary
It all begins before anyone can stop them. By the string tied around the fingers of Dennis Reynolds and Ronald McDonald, Charlie Kelly and Dee Reynolds meet — he was but part of a complex, emotionally tangled trio. She? A hanger-on, a shadow echoing the motions of her twin who never quite looked her in the eye.
Hey, but it’s always sunny in Philadelphia! That dark cloud can’t linger for much longer.

Chardee is a complex ship from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but after binge-watching the show in little more than three days, I've been left obsessed with the tensions that lie between the characters of Charlie Kelly and Dee Reynolds. No character in Sunny is perfect, they are riddled with all kinds of abuse, manipulation and trauma — so do know that these characters do not reflect my own opinions! And that this fic will explore the ongoing story that lies in Philadelphia's sewers.

Summary
There was a time before they were the worst people in Philadelphia, when they hung on the cusp of something terrible, but still had the opportunity to haul themselves back into morality. None of them were bad people, not just yet, but the blueprints were already set out for the kind of future they'd have. They were thieves. Liars. Drug addicts, alcoholics, schemers. And all at fourteen years old.

EDIT: I have marked this as complete. I always intended to write more "episodes" but this absolutely works as a stand alone piece and can be read as such. Would love to return to it some day!

"Turning back to the stage, Charlie seemed to zone out when the singer looked at him. Mac wished he could hold Charlie's eyes like that; make him feel special and sexy and loved. For now, this would have to do as Charlie's hand slipped out of his."

Summary
"Are you Ronnie?" Dennis asks, hands sweaty in his pockets as he curls one hand around the small wad of cash he has in his pocket.
"It's Mac," he tells them. "Call me Ronnie and I ain't selling you shit."
Dennis swallowed. "Noted."
"Aren't you the kid that ate two spiders at last year's freshman formal?" Dee asks the other kid, squinting at him. "And then threw up in the chip bowl? Charlie, right?"

“I’m erm...I’m looking for Ronnie…” replied Dennis. “The Rat?” he added as if it needed clarifying.
“Not my name…” sighed the Rat “and whatcha want me for anyhow?”

Summary
"Yeah. You're like weebles. You just wobble, but you don't fall down." The silence that follows is of words being carefully considered. It occurs to Charlie that maybe they're all just getting too old now to beat down their feelings with gleeful teasing and awkward chuckles. Hesitantly, Mac whispers, "... You ever think about staying clean?"
Him? Clean? Looking at Mac's nervous eyes in the darkness, Charlie tries to envision a world where he can ever survive outside of his suit of rotten armor. His shield made of melted paint cans and his blade forged from many beer bottles.
(Charlie is rescued by the gang after losing his shit, and has to come down from a pretty bad high. A loose sequel to 'snip-snip-snickt', which you should proooobably read for decent context. This is just a shameless hurt/comfort fic, unbeta'd, and can be gen or shipping, depending on how you look at it.)

Summary
"Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello, teacher, tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take"- Tears for Fears, "Mad World"
