carpe diem (erik lehnsherr x reader)
summary: There is just no escaping Erik Lehnsherr, is there?
warnings: angst, fluff
words: 1.0k
Tumblr media
She had no idea what she was doing here, with a fist up ready to knock on his—alleged—door. She wasn’t proud to admit it, but he was still the only one who she could always count on, despite their differences and inevitable fallout. It seemed pathetic, masochist even, how every trouble she encountered herself into eventually forced her to come running for his aid. 
It had been months since the last time she saw Erik Lehnsherr, especially after he secluded himself in some hole, pretending to be retired. (y/n) knew him better than that, of course, and she obviously didn’t believe that crap for a second. At the first sign of danger to his mutants, he would go back to being Magneto without a second thought. And that was his biggest blessing, as much as it was a curse. She often told him that.  
Maybe it was the main reason why they didn’t work out. He needed someone able to put up with his cause, to be passionate about it like he was. But for better or for worse, she couldn’t do that. At the end of the day, she was as human as they come, and Erik’s rage for her species stood out above any feeling he might’ve held for her many a time. They just weren’t right for each other, and she’d accepted it—that is, until she saw his face again, glancing at her in astonishment even through his usual stern demeanour. 
“(y/n)”, Erik states, with no particular intonation.  
“Hi, Erik”, she tries to smile, but fails, nonetheless. Suddenly all the hurt and all the anger made way to her chest again, and her lips just couldn’t take the faking. Not that time. “I’m here to ask for your help.” 
“Are you alright? What happened?”, he sounds concerned, and he should be, since the world was now too dangerous even for humans.  
She cleared her throat, closing her fist. “I have a friend who... She was captured. She is a mutant too.” 
“Where is she?” 
“I don’t know, that’s why I came here”, she sighed, hugging her own body. “I can’t find her on my own, and well, you are the person to come to for these things. Or so people tell me.” 
“Mm”, he mumbles, and his blue eyes seem to avoid hers at all costs. “I will find her, don’t worry”, Erik adds, with a hint of reassurance to his tone, almost as if he himself couldn’t hold that pose for long.  
They stare at each other for a millisecond before she sighs again. (y/n) wants to kiss him, walk up to him confidently like she always did when they were together, take him into her arms and feel his touch, his breath, his love. Oh, how she missed him. She had lied to herself all this time, masking despair with rage, putting into her head they were past any possibility of reconciliation, only for it all to collapse now, at the first sight of his bright eyes. 
Suddenly, there were no mutants or humans anymore, simply two bodies struggling to stay away from each other. Truly, like a magnet. And as if reading her thoughts, Erik uses his powers to pull her by the buckle of her belt slightly, in a silent invitation. As ever, he read her face like a book. Sharp inhales, restless eyes, hairs on end; they all told him everything he needed to know. She was still his, and he was still hers. He nudges her forward again, a little less subtle this time, and her cheeks blush helplessly as the space between them gradually shortens.  
“Don’t be shy, Liebling”, there is the glimpse of a tease in his tone, however serious his expression may still be. Erik looks down on (y/n) with a tiny smile, a bit of cockiness too, and she can’t help but roll her eyes amusingly. He inquires, drawing her closer. “What?” 
“Stop that”, she murmurs weakly, as his grip on her belt keeps pulling her to him. He responds by drawing her even nearer and pressing their bodies together at once, which makes a soft sound leave her lips, resemblant to a gasp. “Erik”, she breathes out, appalled and pleased by his boldness at the same time.  
“Yes?”, Erik purrs, gripping at her sides softly.  
He wants to kiss her, it’s clear, but he was never known for being a man who couldn’t control his urges, so he continues to stare, waiting for a response. His long fingers rub her hips in a slow, intimate, familiar movement. (y/n) shuts her eyes at his touch, laying her head on his chest, almost giving in. She was never a fighter when it came to Erik, anyway. And she knew she was losing this battle.  
“You know we shouldn’t”, (y/n) whispers against the fabric of his shirt, and she can feel the vibration on his chest as a gravelly laugh reaches her ears.  
“Yet we already are, my love.” 
And just like that, any time spent apart was gone. (y/n) kissed him at last and he kissed her back eagerly, pushing her to the nearest wall he could find. The kiss is desperate, full of passion and but a tad of anger as their hands move somewhat frantically, not knowing exactly what to grab first. There is pause when they break away only to go deeper into each other’s mouths, his pale palms flying to her soft hair, pulling it lightly. (y/n) moans in his lips, melting completely, shamelessly, because no matter how much she tried; there was simply no escaping Erik Lehnsherr.  
“Baby”, her words are a sweet whisper, and his ever somber features light up instantly at this. 
“I missed you greatly, my dear”, he whispers back, entirely taken by his own emotion, still holding her waist.  
“So did I, Erik”, (y/n) smiled, staring at him with all the love she repressed before. They shouldn’t be doing that, not again, not after everything, but it was difficult to be rational when flowers seemed to grow in her chest whenever he looked at her. “So did I.” 
Erik brought (y/n) into another kiss, this time deeper and gentler, cupping her face. Nothing mattered anymore, not when she felt like this in his arms. It was the rightest thing to ever be wrong. And so, she let herself fall victim to Erik Lehnsherr’s magnetic powers once again, nothing in her even remotely hinting at regret for doing so. Perhaps later she could worry about everything else.  
For now, his lips were enough.

Dreams - Erik Lehnsherr Imagine
Tumblr media
"You had a dream about Charles?" Erik's question made her stop in her tracks, and her face heated up.
"What?" she asked. "What are you- how did you-?"
He gestured to her journal, which she had left open on their kitchen table. It was closed now.
"You read my journal?!" she asked, outraged.
"No-I mean, yes. Part of it...it was lying open on the table and I didn't realize at first. All I saw was 'I had a dream about Charles last night. We were on my bed..." in your handwriting. I closed it after that, I swear. But...you had a dream about him?" Erik's pretty blue eyes looked hurt, and it broke her heart.
"Yes, but not in the way you're thinking, Erik."
"It said you were in your bed with him." She could hear the strain in his voice.
"Not this bed." Meaning the bed the two of them shared most nights. He waited for her to go on. "My bedroom at my father's house from when I was a teenager."
Erik looked like he didn't understand how that was much better.
"I wasn't even in the bed with him. And nothing was happening. He turned on the television and there was a movie on. The Others. It's a horror film I watched when I was thirteen, which scared the shit out of me. Which by the way is what I told Charles when he put it on in the dream. And then asked him to turn it off because there was no way I would be sleeping if he didn't. And that was it. I woke up. I don't even know if he turned it off."
Erik looked a little relieved. "If he's anything like our Charles in real life, he probably did."
She grinned. "Yeah, probably." Erik finally cracked a smile. "See? I told you, nothing happened."
He made a small noise in the back of his throat and walked over to her. In a few long strides he was in front of her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Hmmm, I still don't think I'm very fond of it. He was in your bed, after all." Erik leaned down and rubbed his nose against hers in a sort of Eskimo kiss. The beginnings of heat crept up her neck.
"It's not my fault...it was a dream. I didn't...pick it."
"Still...I much prefer that I am the only other person in your bed." He kissed her nose and grinned at the full on blush that overtook her cheeks.

Bearings
By Ion Bond
On Livejournal
Status: Complete; Oneshot
Summary: The Xavier School has a long tradition of educational field trips.
My thoughts: Really good. Not gonna lie, I'm a sucker for fics that talk about Scott knowing how to navigate the world blind. This fic is before he gets a visor. Also Erik is interesting too.

OKAY OKAY CHERIK FIC/ ONESHOTS IDEA!!
inspired off "Its Been A Long, Long Time" by Harry James
---
IDEA 1: fluff
okay so erik is like this army guy right? he and charles met and fell in love before he got drafted and basically the main piece is written as if you are given the notes he and charles wrote to eachother during the time period erik was serving. super sweet at sappy
IDEA 2: fluff (+ maybe smut)
basically, first part is erik coming home and they have a whole steve and peggy moment, listening to "Its Been A Long, Long Time" by Harry James. maybe they do stuff (b/c of that one implied sexual part in the song).
IDEA 3: angst
either format from IDEA 1 or 2 but maybe after a while of not getting any letters from erik, charles gets worried and he gets a visit from an officer telling him the bad news.

exile | Folklore | Charles Xavier x Erik Lehnsherr | X-men
Tumblr media
I can see you standing, honey, with his arms around your body. Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
Charles had ought to be happy, after all he had wanted this for Erik. No matter how much they bickered and fought, all he had ever wanted for Erik was for him to find his happiness and he had; just it was in the arms of another.
He wanted to argue and fight for his love, but in the end, what had fighting ever brought Charles? It brought pain and misery and suffering. He couldn't do that to Erik, not when he watched him smile at the crappy joke his new partner whispered.
And it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it. Holdin' all this love out here in the hall.
As much as it hurt to watch, Charles almost found the moment bittersweet. He and Erik may have moved past the disagreements but in doing so, Erik began to push Charles away, putting up the walls the telepath had spent years breaking down.
The love they had both found solace in had slowly shattered before their eyes, but neither of them had enough energy left in them to continue to fight the losing battle of each other
You're not my homeland anymore; so what am I defending now? You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out.
If Charles were to do it all over again, if he could love Erik all over again, he would. He would have fought longer and harder. Loving Erik was slowly killing him; but living without Erik's love left him alone. He had nowhere and no one without. He was exiled without his love.
I can see you starin', honey like he's just your understudy; like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
It didn't escape Erik's noticed how Charles stared at him and his partner. The slight glare which softened everytime Charles focussed on him. He remembered all the soft looks Charles used to give him, and he longed for that again, even though he knew it was a pipe dream.
Erik had spun Charles the way he spun his new partner the first time they danced. They were drunk in the kitchen, the radio crackling in the background but it was perfect as it was only them in that moment. There isn't anything that Erik wouldn't give to have that once again; to have Charles once again.
Second, third, and hundredth chances. balancin' on breaking branches. Those eyes add insult to injury.
But they couldn't have it again. They had tried time and time again, always forgiving and never forgetting as if it would erase the pain they caused each other. But even as the pain faded, it never truly disappeared and as time went on they became too wounded to heal
I'm not your problem anymore, so who am I offending now? You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out.
Erik turned away from Charles and focussed on his new partner. They were perfect: they were kind, forgiving and patient. There was no reason for Erik not to love them, but he couldn't, not in the way he loves loved Charles.
He knew he would never get back to the way things were, stuck forevermore as a passive spectator in Charles' life. He was burdened to watch as he moved on, leaving him behind in exile.
All this time I never learned to read your mind
Even after years of knowing him, Charles could never truly know what was running through Erik's mind. He could be thinking one thing and mean something else. But even now, as he searched his thoughts, he found himself confused at the lingering feelings Erik still held for him.
I couldn't turn things around 'cause you never gave a warning sign
Erik still watched Charles as he danced. If it wasn't his own wedding he would've followed Charles out as he left the venue, but he was powerless to watch him leave. Erik had made his choice but he only wished he had been warned that he would lose the one he wanted most.

The idea of growing old
Word count: 7.8 K
Summary: Charles and Erik spend all their afternoons in a cafe near college to study together. It was obvious that they would end up doing anything but.
***
"I brought us something", he pulled out of his bag a small and flat wooden box, and moved aside the cups and Charles' book. Charles stared at it with curiosity. Opening it, he revealed a miniature sized chess board, with all its pieces carved in a luxurious wood with fine detail. Charles' eyes shone. "You can play with me under one condition".
"And what would that be?".
"You call me Erik".
Charles threw his head back in laughter.
"Alright".
"Do you know how to play?".
"You're about to find out, Erik".

X-MEN AO3 SERIESES
Tumblr media
EVERYTHING FOR X-MEN
Kurt Wagner
Scott Summers
Alex Summers
Erik Lehnsherr
Warren Worthington III
Jean Grey
Hank McCoy
Storm (coming)
(Any of the other characters don't have any requests written nor pending as for now, so I'm unable to have serieses for them as AO3 requires you to have at least one oneshot written to be able to add it to a series, and I can't promise serieses for characters who don't have requests pending/I have no ideas of my own for them)
For anyone who's concerned, THESE ARE NOT ONESHOT COLLECTIONS, they are made using AO3's "series" feature.
If you want to be informed about new fics for X-Men or its individual characters, create an AO3 account and subscribe or bookmark any of those serieses listed above. There are buttons at the top right corner for those, or on top on mobile. I do not do Tumblr taglists anymore.
Also, if you're wondering, requests are ALWAYS open and you're welcome to leave one or multiple. Just remember to read my rules and pick a request type from this list.

Can I request oneshot: Dark younger Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto(x men movie) x fem s/o whose mutation is that her power is giving people bad luck and because of this power she always isolates herself because she doesn't want to hurt anyone. she was found by Erik whom he fell madly in love with her, and he doesn't care about her power and tells her to embrace it and so with huge reluctance she did; personality wise she is gentle and soft spoken and when he reveals his dark love for her instead of being afraid and running away, she is compliant (This takes place the after First Class when Erik left the X men to recruit mutants to join him that's when he first met fem s/o and noticed her power he gave her the codename misfortune since then she's with him all the way to Dark Phoenix)
Tumblr media
Hello. Thank you for this beautiful scenario. Honestly, I especially like writing Erik as a dark or yandere. I hope you like it.
◇ Sweet misfortune ◇
After leaving the X-Men, Erik began recruiting mutants to his side. He found several mutants with different abilities. Then he was walking through a neighborhood and saw your reader. He felt as if his heart had stopped for a moment and he couldn't breathe. The reader enters her house a few minutes later. Erik spends weeks gathering information about the reader. No matter what, Erik was determined to hook reader. He meets the reader by pretending it's a coincidence. The courtship process, which lasts a few weeks, quickly progresses to the lover stage. The reader is anxious and insecure about her mutation. However, Erik is very helpful to the reader regarding her mutation. Erik's obsessive love soon comes to light. Unlike Erik's anxiety and fear, the reader did not fear, did not try to escape, or did not fight. Erik is very grateful for this situation. Once you both start a relationship, breaking up is out of the question. From now on, you will be together until your last breath. Erik is protective, possessive and jealous towards you. The reader and Erik have a happy family. Erik is determined not to lose his family again.

CHERIK FIC RECS
Tumblr media
Angst (multiple levels of angst)
too close to the sun, by joshriku: 3, 683 words, charles pov, canon compliant to Jean Grey #1 (2023) (i think it's better to read the issue first, but it's not really necessary)
Jean Grey erases Magneto's mind - or so she thinks. When Charles finds his body, he brings it back to the mansion, and begins the arduous task of putting Erik's mind together. Of course, when it comes to Erik and persevering, it's always a lot more effective than he expects.
To Breathe Again (Impossibilities Remix), by Unforgotten: Erik's pov from the original movies timeline. The old men are old!!! It's a 3,879 words oneshot and it's beautiful
After Liberty Island, you think you must have burned that bridge at last. After Alkali Lake, you're even more certain. What once seemed so easy is now an impossibility, and the dream that once plagued you no longer comes.
Then Charles dies and you know: Going home was never truly impossible until now.
This is not easily described by a single genre methinks
superposition, by borninsideatornado: The racer car driver au! This one has some angst yes, but it didn't feel right to put it in the angst category bc there's so much more to it! This story is about healing. It's also about racing cars. And it's also a romance ! Charles and Erik have an amazing dynamic, but then so does Erik and Emma, Erik and Pietro (the father and son are father and son'ing!) and the entire team tbh. Really fun to read!
erik is a race car driver coming off the worst year of his life. charles xavier may be his last hope.
Time to Grow, by zarah5: 20K oneshot, Charles pov. Fluffy fix-it
In which you'll find chess dates which aren't dates (or maybe Charles is wrong about that). -- Based on First Class, this turns (slightly) AU during the beach scene.
Comedy
Fathers and sons, by M_Leigh: 6K oneshot, Hank pov. So fucking funny
“I have an – interest – in Peter Maximoff,” Erik said, somewhat grudgingly, glaring. “A – familial – interest –”
Everybody stared at him.
“In that – mutantkind is one – large – family –” Erik said valiantly, if pathetically.
“Oh, shit,” Alex said. “No way. No way.”
i guess i should say thanks or some shit: au but they do have powers, 17K oneshot, charles pov
believe it or not, charles has a well-thought-out moral philosophy. he doesn’t follow it. but he has thought it out. alternatively: charles and erik douche it up in amsterdam
Frosted hearts, by aesc & palalife: 29K oneshot, multipov, the main focus is cherik, and it comes with art!
Emma Frost has 99 problems, but a date ain't one. Specifically, she has no time to play the dating game--which is fine with her, because she'd much rather run it instead. From a set of sleek, silver and white offices on Fifth Avenue and with her trusty, stylish, and silent partner Janos Quested, Emma has built Frosted Hearts into New York City's premiere dating service, built on the principle that money, and a sufficiently rigorous psionic scan, can, in fact, buy you love.
Somewhere in Frosted Hearts's server is one Charles Xavier, genius and geneticist, with the kind of nicely-starched good looks that sell well on brochures for New England prep schools. He's also a telepath who's decided to give up pursuing serious relationships and instead spend his thirties doing what he should have done as a teenager: have a lot of sex with random people. Fortunately for him, Erik Lehnsherr, metallokinetic and engineering executive, has absolutely no time in his heart or his schedule for anything more serious than... well, absolutely nothing romantic at all.

I BLAME YOU FOR THE MOONLIT SKY
cherik WIP, set during 'x-men: first class', rated teen (subject to change), charles POV, first kiss.
.
With vision still blotted with his friend's tears, an admittedly prideful Charles watches on in awe.
Erik—a true force of nature—is now masterfully harnessing his powers: turning three-thousand tons of satellite dish, slowly but very surely, towards the balcony on which they stand.
Charles is mostly watching Erik, though.
The man is… incredible. Everything about Erik leaves Charles a little breathless. His extremely impressive mutation is exemplary, of course, but what really wows Charles is his layers of complexity. Erik is the archetypal lone wolf, yes, but one that actually craves a pack. Charles can feel it; can almost taste Erik's loneliness. Also, how one man can have endured so much pain and suffering and loss and yet somehow managed to have come out of it stronger, is a simply baffling concept. Charles respects his ruthlessness and resilience. His determination. But above all, after just sharing such a beautiful memory, Charles now marvels at the fact that Erik Lehnsherr still has so much love inside of him. It may seem, to Erik, to be buried deep, but Charles can see it lays rest in only in the shallowest of graves.
Charles senses it. All of it, all of the time. It permeates his every fibre, emotions stronger than any he has previously felt—in himself or another. It's intoxicating, actually. So much so, Charles knows he is drunk on it.
Drunk on Erik.
It may not be a good excuse, but it's definitely the reason Charles now throws all reasonable acts out of his mind's conjured Room of Reason and moves too, too close to Erik, flinging an arm around broad shoulders as they laugh heartily in exhalation at Erik's impossible feat.
With Erik exuding all manner of wonderful feelings, Charles is overwhelmed and therefore taken by surprise when Erik throws all of himself around Charles in turn, in an embrace where—as much as is physically possible whilst standing—every bit of their bodies seem to be touching.
Maybe Charles is just making more of it than he should. He becomes aware of the fact he isn't breathing.
Hands still clutching at Charles's shoulders, a beaming Erik now pulls back, but only enough to whisper a "thank you," very intimately into Charles's ear, warm breath ticking at tiny hairs and causing neurons to shoot through Charles's body like wildfire, licking at something more than mere arousal.
For a fragment of a spilt second, he has the vague thought that what he's contemplating is probably simultaneously the best and worst compulsion he's ever had. But then it passes before he has the time to think about what he's going to do, completely swept up in the their exuberant moment.
Charles turns, angling his head just-so, and kisses Erik, just a small peck to the corner of still-smiling lips.
Oh, God.
.
note: i've almost completed this oneshot and it'll be somewhere around 2k when done (with the possibility of it turning into a series). if anybody would like tagging in when i link the finished thing, pls feel free to let me know in the comments :)
EDIT: READ THE REST ON AO3 HERE
