Holy shit, I didn't know things were so bad in the Trek fandom. I only really lurk around in the periphery of the community. Is there anything I can do to help? I've seen other fandoms tear themselves up because of toxic behavior and shitty people and I really, really don't want that to happen to this community.

Hello!

To be honest, I didn’t know it was this bad, either.  This only came to my attention today and it breaks my heart and makes me sick to think that there are people out there saying and doing these sorts of things, especially in a fandom that embodies inclusivity and universality like the Trek fandom does.

Aside from blocking the users responsible, not replying to Anon hate, and spreading kindness, there isn’t much TO do.  It’s out of our hands as a fandom at large and the fates of these individuals, as I understand it, now rests with the police department and Tumblr staff.

As for the rest of us, just keep doing what we’ve always done - be kind to one another and support each other!  Perhaps it’s naive or cheesy of me, but I honestly think that love always wins in the end.  All I can say now is this:

I dare [us] to do better.

So long as your blog is a safe space and you practice kindness, you’re already doing a great job. :)

Thank you for getting in touch - I know your kind words and your support will mean a lot to the community right now!

With Love,

Jules

XoXo

First Forever - ch2

Chapter 2/10 of my fic for @fth2019fanworks, for @soveryaverageme. In which we learn that Charles is not nearly as smooth and confident as Erik first thought. In fact, he’s a little ball of insecurities and he needs hugs. Get started, Erik!

Read from the start on AO3 if you prefer!

“Professor Xavier!”

Charles turned to see the absolutely gorgeous reporter speed-walking towards him, his thoughts full of prolong-connect-blue-eyes. Charles bit back an eager smile, trying to stick to friendly, modest, professional.

“I hope I didn’t go too far in there,” said Lehnsherr. “If you like, you can ask me all the invasive questions you like, take your revenge.” And then, quite clearly, almost deliberately, Charles heard perhaps-over-dinner?

His first instinct was to blush. Because apparently his first instincts became an inexperienced teenager. He glanced down, biting his lip. “I… you really don’t need to apologise, Mr Lehnsherr-”

“Erik, please.”

Charles lifted his gaze to meet those sea-glass eyes. “Erik. You needn’t apologise at all, I know it’s part of your job.”

He nodded and shrugged. “Yes, it is part of my job. And another part is not telling you how much I argued for the chance to interview you.”

Charles’ eyes went wide and he stared up at Erik’s sheepish face, Emma’s-going-to-kill-me and so-cute and pizza-maybe humming at the surface of Erik’s thoughts.

The impulse to look deeper, seek out a reason why a no would be safer, was almost overwhelming. Charles didn’t date. He slept with people, or he had friends he called dear and then held at arm’s length. But the purring voice in his ears saying wonder-if-he-likes-Italian was tempting all the way through to his heart.

“Yes,” Charles said, before he could stop himself.

Erik blinked. “Yes… what?”

“Yes please?” Charles said automatically before Erik’s confusion and didn’t-ask-a-question shot through. “Oh God! Oh my God, you didn’t ask that out loud, did you?”

Erik was flame red when Charles peeked through his fingers. “Holy shit, what question did you hear?” Erik asked, tapping his temple.

“Whether I like Italian,” Charles moaned, mortified. “I am so, so sorry, my friend, I usually have much better control over my telepathy.” Oh God, he of all people should know that a person’s thoughts didn’t always match their actions. There was a reason thoughts were usually private.

But Erik was laughing, his teeth bared in a shark-like grin. “Oh, thank God it was an innocent thought - I mean! Uh… it’s not like I go around thinking indecent thoughts. About you. Or in general. I’m not making this better, am I?” He pressed the heel of his hand to his forehead and took a deep breath. “So. Italian then?”

Charles smiled, wide and relieved, and something else he couldn’t quite identify yet.

“I have to admit,” said Erik as they found a seat in the campus cafe. “I don’t usually work on the science stories. I’m the political correspondent.”

Charles smiled and raised his eyebrows. “I don’t know whether to be honoured or concerned,” he teased.

Erik leaned forward in his chair and his mind lit up like a nuclear chain reaction. “But the discovery of the X-gene - sorry, the LSH operon - is a political thing in the same way that climate change is. Aren’t you concerned that they’ll use your research to implement some sort of screening for mutants? Expose children to particular stressors in order to create… I don’t know, a super soldier?”

Charles blinked. “Am I on the record here?”

“No,” Erik snorted, sitting back. “This is too paranoid for Emma to agree to publish, even from me.”

Charles bit his lip. “Well, I appreciate that, culturally and historically, you would be more wary--”

“What do you mean?” asked Erik, his attention suddenly razor sharp, and instantly Charles was on high alert. Every mind around him became that little more open to him, every one a potential threat, and every danger to him teased out, judged for its immediacy and discarded. Charles felt his mouth dry and his heart beat faster as he heard Erik’s own defences rise, the fears that made him dangerous.

“I mean,” said Charles carefully, “that as a Jewish man who’s also a mutant, you have much more reason to be on high alert for any signs of government registration or regulation.”

“I didn’t tell you I was Jewish,” said Erik.

“Forgive me, my friend, but it’s rather at the forefront of your mind for this conversation.”

Erik laughed, and the immense psionic pressure over the back of Charles’ neck lessened. He felt sweat trickle down his back and hated himself for it. What did it matter if someone was annoyed with him? Erik couldn’t hurt him. Nobody was going to hurt him anymore. But when Erik turned the full force of his amusement and approval on Charles, he found himself breathless and delighted with relief anyway.

“How am I supposed to fluster you with a request for a date if you’re always in my head, Charles?” asked Erik, his voice a purr.

Charles blushed and looked down at his coffee. “I’m sorry. I do try to stay out.”

It wasn’t entirely a lie. Charles stayed away from people’s minds as much as he could, most of the time. But he needed to read everyone to a certain extent, and perhaps that extent was more than some would consider acceptable. But he needed it.

After all, how else was he to know when someone started hating him?

***

For some reason Charles couldn’t fathom, Erik didn’t start to hate him. He took him on dates, he introduced him to the few important people in his life (his boss, Emma, his PA, Azazel). He tolerated Charles’ friends and didn’t tell them or Charles what he really thought of them, even Alex, who Charles could hear set Erik’s teeth on edge. Charles heard him talk politely to all of them, and later apologise to Charles for being a grouch.

He waited for Erik to tell him he couldn’t see them anymore, to try and cut him off from people the way other boyfriends had. He waited, even searched, for the warning signs, and found only fondness.

Weeks turned into months, dates turned into whole weekends together, lying in the sun that poured through the tall windows in Charles’ apartment. Charles lay with his head pillowed on Erik’s bony shoulder, watching him hover scraps of metal in the air, sculpting them into curves and fantastical shapes as they talked. Charles felt the warmth soak into his soul, illuminating a little dusty corner he had never realised he yearned for, and wondering how long he’d get to keep this. What it would do to him to lose it.

“You look sad, liebchen,” Erik said softly.

Charles smiled his most charming smile. “Just tired, darling,” he said. “I think I can blame you for that.”

He leaned up to kiss Erik’s jaw, but Erik continued to frown at him, a steady hum of melancholy-want-to-help-just-tell-me-love in his thoughts. Charles blinked rapidly, his throat thick with emotion, a longing to tell him everything in his heart, beg Erik to stay and love him as long as Erik could stand it.

The fear stole the words from his lips, and he touched his fingertips to Erik’s jaw, leaning forward to give him as much of his love as he dared, without scaring him off with how clingy he was.

But Erik took all of it and gave it back, all his desperate love and devotion and search for that hidden place in each other’s heart, and Charles clung to him, hardly able to breathe with the impossibility of it all.

He found the piece of metal Erik had been moulding later, tumbled off the bed and against the wall. It had been a piece of scrap, picked up off the road, but Erik had turned it into a delicate filigree pyramid within a cube within a sphere, impossible and beautiful. Charles smiled as he ran his fingers over the smooth lacy edges.

The way Erik seemed to feel about Charles couldn’t be real. It was impossible, but Charles would take it and pretend for as long as he possibly could.

15 questions 15 mutuals

Tagged by @stoppedsigye :D

Are you named after someone?

No for my first name - my parents just liked the sound of it. My first middle name is one that my mother and her mother both had, and my second middle name is my paternal grandmother's.

When was the last time you cried?

I totally teared up at the end of KJ Charles The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal. Which I was re-reading, so it wasn’t even a surprise, but it’s such a terribly bittersweet epilogue, especially when considering the reality for queer couples during the time when the book is set...

Do you have kids?

None now, none planned.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yeah. Less online, because good sarcasm requires body language.

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

…? Uhhh. I have never thought about it. Um. Height??

Eye Color

Brown

Scary Movie or Happy Ending?

I cannot handle scary movies I am a total wuss and movie violence disturbs me way more than it should. So happy ending all the way, please!

Any Special Talents?

Multitasking. Waking up before my alarm goes off. (Though that needs calibrating, as I’m about half an hour early these days...) Remembering where people put things like phones and glasses they might go looking for later.

When were you born?

1980.

What are your hobbies?

Depends on how deeply fannish I am feeling! Right now 90% of my free time is dedicated to Guardian in one way or the other because I have it SO BAD. I also have a surplus of words in my brain I need to get out, so I’m taking every opportunity to work on the fic of doom. Also I discovered giffin is fun and easy and there’s so much to talk about and the actors are doing other things and I want to keep following them and… yeeeah. So that’s now.

Usually I read more. (Books, especially speculative fiction & queer romance novels. I love a good fic, but I have to be in the right mood for it.) I am currently taking drawing classes, because I am terrible at it but used to attempt it more, and quite enjoy the experience of putting pencil marks on paper. I love taking pictures. We have a Joysound account on our PS4 so there’s also a lot of karaoke which is one of the things I missed the most when I left Japan.

Do you have any pets?

Two kitties! They’re sisters but complete opposites in both looks and personality. One is a screaming fluff gremlin who wakes me up for pets at 3am and the other is a sneaky little cable-biter who will stare silently at us while we sleep and I love them so much.

How tall are you?

174 cm? Maybe? I am probably taller but I keep having my height measured at the end of long days. XD

What sports do you play/have you played?

I don’t do sports, but I have reluctantly taken up jogging for my health. I used to do a bit of bouldering but our new town doesn’t have a rock wall, and also I am legit terrified of heights, so haven’t gone in ages.

Favorite Subject?

...one of the reasons I am not in academia is that I literally could not pick? But I’ve really enjoyed anthropology, media studies, history, and a whole bunch of languages. (Which I don’t enjoy studying, but I do enjoy knowing.)

Dream Job?

Honestly my current job as a research librarian is pretty much it? I am super lucky, but I love the combination of helping people sort out practical things and learning a lot of new cool stuff by interacting with researchers and also having access to lots and lots of knowledge and information. I also really enjoyed working as a children’s librarian, which is fun and challenging in completely different ways. (I really like kids!)

But I don’t know. If I could go wild, my dream job would be a lot like my current one but also include time spent in Japan, because it’s been seven years and I STILL miss living there.

Gonna tag a bunch of people because I’ve been making new friends (hi!) and don’t know all of this about my old friends so go for it 🖤
