Rank your own fics cause i literally know them all and i want to see which one you like more
love love love that you know them all @inmymagnetoera
in no particular order:
The Most Beautiful of All The Angels (Remix of Sin City) - Charles is a youthful mob boss and Logan is his enforcer- xavierine with a suggestion of possible cherik.
Raven’s Brother Has Got It Going On (Remix of Notorious DILF) - disaster Xavier siblings, bamf murder ball wheelchair user Charles, smitten erik.
What’s Money When You Got Love? - 1930s prohibition era first person fic (yeah I know) - Shaw is a mob boss, Erik is his reluctant enforcer who falls for musician Charles- tremendous amount of horrific violence but our boys get away (tho not unscathed)
Adventures in Yoga- this is my most kudoed fic and it is just the crackiest smutty filthy silly cheerful cherik nonsense and shaw gets punched in the face so that’s nice.
Lord of the Flings - Erik is an incompetent Nazgûl, Charles is a horny hobbit, why are you looking at me like that?
What Dreams May Come- extremely dark David 8/Walter/Charles Xavier fic - heed the warnings and read the tags.
Purple is for Emperors- 76k words folks and the longest thing I’ve written. AU where they are mutants but almost everyone aligns as Dom or sub. The Dom might not be who you expect and might not engage with their sub as you might expect. A lot of smut and fun and humour BUT also sorrow and terrible things. Cherik wins thru in the end.
Sorry there are no links but my device is buggered
thanks for the ask :)

A small list of my favorite fics!♡
(In no particular order)
Lonesome On the Shelf by @ikeracity
THIS FIC IS NOT FINISHED BUT IT'S LITERALLY EVERYTHING?!? Every now and then I reread it and I think I know some sentences by heart, I love it!
Purple is for Emperors by @fullmetalcarer
SUB ERIK. CAN YOU HEAR ME? SUB ERIK. I LOVE SUB ERIK. I love the dynamic of this story, rich, hard-partying young Charles meets older Erik. AND TEEN LORNA.
Sharp Edges by Nalou
This is the fic. THE. FIC. I love everything about this story. The settings, The relationships, the characters.
"Who did this to you." PROTECTIVE ERIK IS MY DRÜG AAAAAA
Oh Captain, My Captor by jackmischief
Another unfinished fic. Another part of my soul that will never be filled. I love pirate AUs but do you know what I love even more? Erik acting tough when in reality he is totally attracted to Charles. This fic was updated a long time ago and I don't think it will be updated again but who knows, I like to hope.
Faux Genes & Fragile Hearts by Baamon5evr
GUYS. THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR THIS I SWEAR. The last update is from last year BUT the author is still active in their Ao3 profile, I won't stop waiting for more chapters. But yeah, I love the Human!Charles trope and Erik being like, "I love Charles, but I hate humans, but Charles is human and so I hate Charles, but I love Charles, but Charles-"
Sink or Swim by endingthemes
I think this is one of the most known fics in the fandom? Masterpiece, literally masterpiece. The improvement in Erik's character is beautiful and it breaks your heart how Charles is treated poorly for the first few chapters but continues to work hard because he believes Erik and the kids are his family. I love how the ending isn't rushed and how Charles is like, "Yes I love you but you still hurt me and I can't get over it so quickly." Tears. So many tears for this story.

Writing Patterns (Tag Game)
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
Thank you for the tag @babygirlbridger my beloved <3
“We,” Finn said, “need a Jedi.” (FinnPoe - Basic Form #3)
For the first time in ages, Bly woke to sunlight streaming in through the bedroom window. (BlyLa - New Beginning)
The eclipse occurred suddenly and terrifyingly. (Breha x Fox x Bail - Eclipsed)
Cody sat up in bed, wide awake from one moment to the next. (CodyWan - Take the Key to My Heart (I Don't Need It))
The village's houses were nothing more than broken shells - skeletons clinging to the mountainside, providing cracks and crevasses for the wind to blow through. (Gen Rex-centric with a side of RexAniDala - The Art of Losing (Is Hard to Master))
He wakes on a flat roof, wedged between a chimney and a ventilation pipe. (QuinFox - (You Know) You Love Me)
“Hello and good morning, commander sunshine!” (QuinFox - ((Not So) Un-)Welcome Gifts)
"Um, sir. You're doing it again." (QuinFox - You Make My Birdcage Bearable)
Fives is a warm weight on Echo’s chest. (EchoFives and HuntEcho - Parallels)
“Hey, Thire. Do you copy?” (QuinFox - Operation Beddybies)
Most of my first lines are quite brief and simple, establishing a location or a time of day. I often like to start just with dialogue, too, mostly when it's a more lighthearted story. But what really got me is the sheer overuse of parentheses in my titles alkfjadjfkllsk

Hi! Do you have recommendations for fics in which Charles is older than Erik?Extra kudos for Bottom!Charles
Thank you in advance, and thank you for all the amazing cherik fics esp the hooot porns :-))
Hi Anon! Sorry for the delay it's been a little crazy this week :D
I think the combination of older/bottom!Charles might be this fandom's unicorn lol. BUT these are all amazing fics with older Charles that I hope you enjoy!
Give me your stars to hold by pearl_o
Charles returns home from college and figures out why Erik has been so distant since he’s been away.
Counting Bodies like Sheep (To the Rhythm of War Drums) by cm (mumblemutter)
Erik was born broken, their father always told Charles.
Wind and Words by velvetcadence
Lord Charles of House Xavier has been out-manipulated by Queen Emma into a marriage with her cousin. Still, there are worse fates than having to wed a handsome child.
Casual Encounters by SharpestScalpel
Charles is a busy professor in his 30s - busy enough that a craigslist casual encounter is really the only way he's going to get laid any time soon.
Erik is a 19-year-old virgin with an internet connection and no social skills.
Letters for His Majesty by motleystitches (furius)
When Charles the Gentle, King of Westchester, was nineteen years old, he killed a man named Shaw and rescued a boy he gave to the MacTaggerts’ to raise. Twenty years later, he has almost forgotten the incident. With a wife he loves as a sister, no heir, and a war going badly, Charles falls quickly and inappropriately in love with the knight Erik Lehnsherr.
wait (they don’t love you like I love you)
Charles is a bad guy (head of some shady criminal organization) and Erik is the kid that grew up in his household (his mother is the help? so they maybe live in the servant’s quarters). Anyway Charles likes Erik a lot and assumes that when Erik grows up he will end up working for Charles (maybe he recognizes some violent streak of potential in Erik). Only then Erik decides, while Charles is away on some sort of shady business deal overseas, to go away to college. So obviously Charles has to go and drag Erik back because Erik is his and his alone.
David's Dad (Has Got it Going On) by afrocurl
Charles doesn't know what to do with the crush his son's best friend, Erik, has on him. At least not until Erik all but forces himself into Charles' lap one night.
An Arrangement of Soulmates by Fullmetalcarer
King Charles III of House Xavier gazed at the painting of his betrothed. Strong jaw, wide, thin lipped yet sensual mouth, straight nose, high cheekbones, intense grey-green eyes, short auburn hair.
tonight is all we need by Oxsa05
Erik has just come of age and soon will be trapped in an arranged marriage against his will. Before losing some of his freedom, he wants one night for himself so he can fulfill his true desires. Charles, an expert and famous prostitute, will make sure Erik has a lovely evening and forget about his troubles for a while, giving him everything he asks for.
Machine of a Heart by traumschwinge
Thirteen years ago, when he was just recovering from an incident during one of his deployments, Logan met Dr Charles Xavier. Dr Xavier, who'd just decided that Logan, while still unconscious, was perfect to try some physical improvements as a proof of concept for the large military project he was, back then, co-heading. Now, Logan's mostly a spy, tangled up in whatever mess Charles and his superiors think necessary to involve him with. It doesn't matter that Logan has feelings, about Charles' project, about Charles himself, about just altering other people's bodies without their consent. What'll matter soon, however, is stopping some harebrained weapons manufacturer from causing the consumption of the entire biomass on planet Earth.
twenty four hours from tulsa by intentation
After having self-emancipated (aka run away), Erik's been holing up in a shitty motel while he figures out his next step. When Charles Xavier moves into the room just down the hall, Erik discovers his new favorite pastime: sex.
Drunk Night, Sobering Days by issabella
Erik is drunk, naked - and standing in the kitchen of Charles Xavier.
Yet what comes easy to do and say while drunk to the gorgeous man with the blue eyes, seems suddenly filled with awkwardness the next morning. Erik feels like a fool though the proverbial silence is golden is not always the best advice, especially if one is quickly developing a crush.
How Prof. Shaw’s Grammar Nazi Ways Got Me Laid and Helped Me Find True Love by jasminetea
Charles is a professor. Erik is a student. They meet through Craigslist.

Cherik fics - That ONE line - 33
「 I feel like I should keep an index of the one line in each Cherik fics that impresses me to no end, making want to bookmark it immediately.」
Feeling Hawkish, Darling? (Remix of Are You Sulking Again) by Fullmetalcarer
Summary: Charles awoke to find a huge hawk in the bedroom and no Erik. But the hawk's mind felt strangely familiar. A mind fixated on fish, mating, eggs and Charles.
AKA: What if Erik was the birb?
The quote:
yes, mating season, Charles lay eggs, Charles brood eggs, Erik feed Charles, eggs hatch chicks, chicks fledge and fly, yes, yes

Thanks for the tag @runawaymarbles!
10 things for 2023
a fic idea you want to write or read: Sigh. I've not been anywhere near the HP fandom since it was created, but then a bookbinding project sucked me in last summer. Now I'm writing a Remus/Sirius wolfstar fix-it to ATYD. Will I publish it? No idea. Right now I'm writing it for me. It's only about 15,000 words so I might dribble off and quit rather than writing my usual 80,000 words. I have no goals and no timelines; I write when I feel like it. Writing without having a goal to publish is different for me. I like the no-pressure of it all.
a place you want to go: I don't really like traveling. I want to go to the midwest to visit a friend, but that's about it.
a book you want to read: That book about how the Federal Reserve was created, so I've got a better understanding of how USA finances work on a national level. The reason I haven't read it yet (it was published in 2015) is because it's probably just as dry as it sounds.
something fun you want to do: spend lots more time with my friends; I want to get back to my pre-covid levels of socializing.
something you want to make: Fabric-based art based on photography of national parks. I'm working on practice projects now.
a habit you want to start:  I started an exercise class 3 weeks ago, so we'll count that as a start and hope I turn it into a habit.
something new you want to try: more of that mixed-media art, using mostly fabric, to create nature scenes and landscapes.
something you want to finish from 2022: I started a huge bookbinding project, Dragonchoice, and I've got about 6 volumes left to publish.
something you want to stop doing: overeating treats when I KNOW all the sugar is going to give me a migraine.
something you want to keep doing: speaking up at work and making sure everyone in the room knows my opinion.
tagging: @insertmeaningfulusername, @fullmetalcarer, @pinkninjapj, @turtletotem, @lyricfulloflight, @kaydeefalls and anyone else who wants to do this!

I continued work on my Shrine fic today! 4/5 times John touches Rodney during the Shrine have been written.
Previously mentioned here.
I am both thrilled and in emotional pain.
because
well
The Shrine
I mean—
Tumblr media
Preview anyone?
*
John grasps Rodney’s wrists.
Squeezing tight enough to hurt. Yanking them back. Away. Trying to stop him. He can’t watch this. He can’t stand by and watch.
This had been a terrible idea.
John knew it would end up this way. Blames himself. Should have stopped it earlier. Should have insisted, should have been better, should have protected Rodney. Even if it was from himself.
But, it was what Rodney had wanted. How could he deny Rodney anything he wants right now? Besides, it has been another way to track the progression of the illness. Not his memory—he and Keller had that one covered with the videos—but his ability to think critically, problem solve, strategize.
A nightly chess match.
It couldn’t have ended up any other way, any other way but this.
“Stop it!”
John is trying to rip Rodney’s hands away from his face, where Rodney is attempting, literally, awfully, to pound his brain into working properly. Hitting himself over and over.
“Stupid!” Rodney’s shout is over loud, pained. He manages to hit himself again, despite John’s best efforts. Rodney’s desperation makes him strong. Too strong. Stronger than John. “So fucking stupid!”
“No! Rodney! Please! Come on!”
Rodney shouldn’t be this strong, shouldn’t be able to keep violently hitting his own forehead over and over. But he twists, he jerks, he slips away and John grabs at him again.
“Sixth graders can play this fucking game! I played it in first grade! I’m officially more imbecilic than I was when I was fucking six.”
“Rodney! God damn it!” John had managed to get a hand around his bicep, but then the bicep is gone, leaving his fingers grasping at air. “You just used the word imbecilic, clearly you’re not— ”
John’s words are silenced by Rodney inadvertantly hitting the coffee table with the backs of his knees. The chessboard goes flying, pieces scattering everywhere. Rodney goes flying too, his back hitting the table hard before the momentum rolls him off and onto the ground.
John doesn’t know which sound he’s heard tonight that’s snaked the deepest fracture line in his heart— the heels of Rodney’s palms smacking against his own skin, the anguished self-recriminations, or the crack of Rodney’s skull against Atlantean metal.
He’s on his knees hovering over Rodney before he even knows he’s made the decision. After a moment of chilling stillness, where John is half-convinced the universe has played an even crueller joke and he’s lost Rodney sooner than they’d expected, Rodney groans, eyes flickering open.
“Well that fucking hurt.”
John’s whole body attempts to collapse on top of him with relief, and definitely without his permission, but he just trembles instead.
You’re okay. Fuck. You’re okay. For now, you’re okay. I can’t do this. How do I do this? Rodney, how do I do this?

Three A.M.
McShep | 260 words | G
Sleepy boys | Sleepy Cuddles
on Ao3
John wakes to the click-clacking of keyboard keys being pressed just this side of too hard. He doesn’t check the time. It could be 11pm, 1am or 3. It doesn’t really matter. John long ago gave up on berating the man for his poor sleeping habits. Atlantis needs too much from him and Rodney asks too much of himself. Instead, John slips from the warmth of the blankets and curls his arms around Rodney from behind. He rests his head against the nape of Rodney’s neck, then presses a kiss there.
“That’s enough for tonight.”
He presses another soft kiss to punctuate the point.
Rodney’s body slumps, coiled tension releasing. It works today, but it doesn’t always. Sometimes there’s no slump. Sometimes there’s Rodney shaking him off with muttered words John never quite makes out and the click-clacking of the keyboard resumes. John never argues anymore, just slips back into bed and drifts back off, ensuring that he, at least, has had enough rest to be alert and able to protect his scientist.
Today, though, Rodney follows him, shedding uniform clothes until he’s down to an undershirt and briefs. John slides to the far side of the bed, the cold side, letting Rodney slip into the warmth John left behind. He lets him wriggle and settle, watching as he sighs contentedly in his newly created pocket of comfort. John slides back, curling an arm and leg over Rodney, who wriggles and settles and sighs contentedly once more. John waits, listens, for Rodney’s breathing to even out. Makes sure.
They sleep.

So friends, mcshep sick fic. But not h/c, hilarity of huge misunderstandings instead. @dedkake’s fault. Can’t remember how we got here 😆
Established relationship (or not, really could work either way).
John’s in bed. Wakes up. Is feeling gross. Headache, stuffed nose, sore throat, achey muscles, too hot/too cold in turns. The works.
Sees Rodney puttering around his room, picking up used tissues, clearing a soup bowl, refilling a cold water glass. But…
He’s in a hazmat suit.
Cue panic. John must be dying. Whatever he’s got, it’s bad. Alien bacteria, ebola… something that warrants quarantine protocols. Oh no. But Rodney. Hypochondriac Rodney is there. Quiet. Caring.
John is so in love. Has been. For so long. Suddenly Rodney must know. This could be his last chance, right?! Must tell him.
Feverish outpouring of feelings. Over the top love confession. So Un-john. Hardly making sense because hello fever. Rodney just standing there stupid.
What the fuck has gotten into you?
I’m dying.
No you’re not.
But hazmat suit. Quarantine.
I just don’t want your gross flu germs. You’re a disgusting human petri dish.
John why do I love this absolute idiot omg.
Rodney I love you too. But you’re still gross. I’ll kiss you when there is no longer a hazmat suit between us.

Secret Mutant (Cherik) Gifts
I GOT AMAZING CHERIK GIFTS THIS YEAR AND I NEED TO REC THEM!!!
SECRET MUTANT EXCHANGE:
Come Hell or High Water by Nalou (8k)
Charles and Erik have been together for a long time now. But when a greater danger comes, they don't quite have the same way of protecting each other. Disaster ensues...
Protective Erik, Protective Charles, angst galore but with a happy ending!!! 
Tumblr media
SECRET MUTANT MADNESS:
Love Like You by Daslebensmittel (4k)
Things become complicated when Erik becomes a dog: the students hound him and Hank becomes a mortal enemy. Then it gets easier. Then extremely frustrating when he finds out about Charles's feelings.
Fluff, Pining Charles, mutual oblivious pining, fluffy Erik!!!
Tumblr media
Too Stubborn for Your Own Good by 1848pianist (1k)
Erik overworks himself but he's stubborn and insists he's fine and keeps working, right up until the moment he collapses. Charles proceeds to over-worry and fuss over him, and then Erik's the one who has to console him and tell him he's fine.
Sick fic with Concerned Charles, adorable, overworking Erik!!!
Tumblr media
The Pretender by Clocks (3k)
Charles is sick of having his best friend Erik drop to one knee and fake-propose to him in restaurants, just to score a free dessert. He doesn’t know which is worse: the complete embarrassment, or the likelihood that Erik doesn’t mean a word of it.
PINING CHARLES!!! Mischievous, pining Erik!!! 
Tumblr media
THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH FOR THESE LOVELY, LOVELY FLUFFY FICS!!! MADE MY DAY, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!! Ahhhh honestly drowning in pining Charles and cool sweet Erik I LOVE them darling bois so so much. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Also please check out all the other works in the two secret mutant events, there are some incredible works in there (our fandom is so blessed)
And thank you so much to @fullmetalcarer and @jackyjango for organizing these events for the fandom, I’ve enjoyed them so much!

I was wondering if you knew of a cherik fic where Charles is the Dom and Erik is a personal bodyguard but not for Charles. I’m pretty sure they meet at a charity event or something like that I read part of it a while ago but I lost it :// I’d really appreciate if you could help me find it, thanks :)
Hello @astro-thor !
I’m pretty sure you’re looking for this fic:
Fic: Purple is for Emperors by Fullmetalcarer
Summary: Erik sat on the edge of the bed, slowly stroking his cock.
Charles knelt on the floor in front of him, naked and bound with purple cords.
Can Erik and Charles find happiness in a world where they don’t fit in?

Roses and Thorns, Chapter One
Here’s a teaser for Chapter One of Roses and Thorns, now up on AO3. Artist Erik. Venture Capitalist Charles. Not much plot, but plenty of smut. Some D/s overtones.
@fullmetalcarer and @pinkoptics, this one’s for you…
This could be his big break. A show at a tony gallery. A chance to be seen by big-name buyers, big-name critics. So why the hell did he just want to run?
He’d been working toward this for more than a decade, but now it was feeling like a hollow victory. These people wouldn’t understand him or his work, would only see the polished pretty-boy he was dressed up as. No one would see the scruffy kid who’d all but starved to buy paint and canvases, who’d worn paint-stained t-shirts and jeans because he owned nothing else.
He yanked his tie off, stuffed it in his jacket pocket, unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt so he could breathe again. He couldn’t do this. This wasn’t him.
He’d just turned toward the door, ready to bolt, when a man entered who commanded his attention. He strode into the gallery like he owned it, bearing regal, expression imperious. He was relatively short, but he carried himself as if he were a head taller. His hair was deep chestnut, combed back, but with a stubborn wave. His eyes were an exquisite blue, flashing fire like star sapphires. His nose was a tad long, but it gave his face a character and depth it would otherwise have lacked. His skin was a luminous ivory dusted with tawny freckles, and his lips were vibrant crimson, obscured only slightly by a precisely-trimmed beard nearly as red as Erik’s own. He wore a perfectly-tailored black suit with a black-and-grey tie, and he carried an ebony walking stick.
His eyes swept the room, cataloguing, analyzing, the space, the art, the people. He locked eyes with Erik, appraised him, then improbably, licked his lips.
Erik held his gaze, considered, decided what the hell. He gave a small nod.
Maybe too small. The man turned away, sought out the gallery owner, Emma Frost. She was his perfect foil, as cool and blonde and remote as he was intense and dark and forceful. As he watched them converse, Erik tried not to feel disappointed.
Then the man turned and stalked toward him like a tiger on the prowl, majestic and dangerous, never breaking eye contact. “I’m Charles,” he declared as he drew near, his voice smooth as polished glass, his accent upper-class English.
“Erik.”
“Did I tell you to speak?”
Stunned but inexplicably turned on, Erik shook his head.
“Follow me.”
Those magnetic eyes compelled him, and he nodded agreement.
Charles walked toward a door Erik knew led to a small conference room. Erik glanced about furtively as he trailed behind, wondering if they would be challenged, unsure whether he should welcome or mourn such an intrusion.
But no one so much as looked their way.

I haven’t forgotten the words spoken and promises made @fullmetalcarer. And while I fill one colour a day of the art piece for this fic, I hope that a mood board will suffice till the time!

Hello! Do you happen to know any cherik fics where Erik or Charles end up killing one another? Feeling a little angsty today lol.
Thank you for your patience Anon! I'm running behind on these recs as they're taking longer than I wanted to get finished! Hopefully you'll still find something here to enjoy!!!
Assassin in the Night by WhereTomorrowGoes
Erik is an assassin for hire. He gets a name and a photograph, the rest doesn’t matter so long as he gets paid. The latest name he receives is Charles Xavier.
And I Must Scream by marourin, Teacandles
Erik knew that coming back to this town was a pointless venture, but Charles's cryptic letter and the faint hope that his death was nothing more than a trick are enough to keep him moving forward.
Not Alone by TurtleTotem
What if that deflected bullet had hit Charles in the chest instead of the spine?
My Burning For You is Love by Pangea
“Click and I’ll work for you,” he says, “bang and I don’t.”
Charles smiles.
Erik pulls the trigger.
Before Sundown by isabeau
What's better than a zombie apocalypse? Why, having your best friend get infected! Oh wait. I mean worse, not better...
What happens by Nalou
Just after Cuba, Charles understands that he is doomed. Not because of Erik's bullet.
Because of the betrayal of his own body.
In my embrace (You will be safe) by kageillusionz
Charles never deserved this kind of end. Erik should have known better than to have deflected the bullet straight through Charles' skull.
Edited to Add:
Unexpected (Visitors, Remix of) by Fullmetalcarer
Erik and Charles meet after the zombie apocalypse. The world is ending. Perhaps it has already ended and they are just clinging to an illusion of life.

Hey! I’m not sure if you still do Cherik fic recs but the ones on your blog are FAB so I was wondering if you could rec any (or have a list already?) of protective Charles?? I saw protective Erik and I gobbled them up lol
Thanks @what-on-io for the ask. I still do Cherik fic recs and I have some excellent fics for you. This list is not as extensive as the Protective Erik one, but I hope this list will have some you like.
Protective Charles
A Dangerous Game – ikeracity, pangea
Summary: When a familiar enemy of Erik's returns to the city for some old-fashioned revenge, Charles is sucked deeper into the world of the mob than ever before.
Could I need You This Much – lanasauli
Summary: Charles is all too familiar with prejudice - it's one of the more unfortunate consequences of being a telepath. It's easy to ignore, until it's directed at Erik.
Or: Charles and Erik encounter an antisemite while recruiting. Charles overreacts and almost loses control.
Line in the Sand – ikeracity
Summary: The CIA agents on the base are bullying the children, mocking them for their mutations. Charles will not tolerate it.
Or: Charles has a line, and the agents cross it. Several times. And Erik discovers that perhaps Charles is not so much of a pacifistic pushover as he appears.
Caught in the Middle of a Crossfire – Linzanity
Summary: Charles was busy counting sheep and DNA helixes when he was wrenched mind-first into Erik’s nightmare.
That which is beneath, that which we share – ninemoons42 
Summary: Someone brings a knife to a gunfight, and Charles does everything he can to make sure everyone is okay, and he doesn't know why Erik is surprised by that.
For These Two Men – novera_nope
Summary: When Erik has a panic attack on the plane, even an emotionally stunted man as Logan realizes the nature of the relationship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr.
All the Nightmares (Here to Stay) – InsertSthMeaningful
Summary: On that fateful day in 1962, on a beach in Cuba, Charles successfully pulls Shaw's helmet off of Erik's head. Moira still takes the shot - and changes the course of mutant history.
Here to Stay (Remix) – UisceOneLove
Summary:The beach in Cuba still has bloodshed.
The road diverges down another direction.
Sleep don’t weep - baehj2915
Summary: Erik has trouble sleeping. Charles sort of makes him a little bit. Fluffy AU from the movie where they stay together--because I want them to and for no other reason--and Erik extemporizes about their relationship. Not nearly as dramatic as the title indicates. I just picked that because it's a Damien Rice song I like.
Mind’s Eye Blind – Sperare
Summary: As far as Erik is concerned, if you want to scare a person into talking, you have to present him with something more compelling than what he stands to lose...
And there is nothing in the world more compelling than Charles.
Subject E – Ook
Summary: In which Subject E, unwilling medical experiment, runs away from the lab which has him captive, and is taken in by Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
These Cindered Bones – swoopswoop
Summary: Erik gets attacked by something unknown and when his health starts to decline, has no choice but turn to the x-men for help after seven years of separation.
Vulnerability – TheRedGlass
Summary: An attack while recruiting leaves Erik horribly injured but Charles faces a challenge in getting him medical help and has to improvise.
Lost hope (thank god I have you) – OneWithoutAName
Summary: They hadn’t known better, Charles had told himself when everything had come back to him weeks later, terrified of what he’d done. It wasn’t their fault. If they had known him better, they wouldn’t have tried to kill him. He promised then to play by their rules. If he didn’t give them a reason to mistrust him, then they would accept him. Moira had accepted him, accepted them. Trained with them. Lived with them. She knew them. And she didn’t think twice before she tried to shoot Erik.
Diamond Dust – Fullmetalcarer
Summary: Charles shouldn't fly a thousand miles, then a hundred more, then trek through a snowy wilderness to help Erik. He shouldn't, but he does.
You’re Not Doing This Alone – flightinflame, lynds
Summary: What's meant to be a simple recruitment mission leads to both Erik and Charles being de-aged back to thirteen years old. Terrified and out of their depth, the boys try to hide their situation and help each other until they can work out what is going on.
Be dead, be alive, be something in between – The_Aleph
Summary: “It was a pleasure doing business with you, Major.”
“Forgive me when I say the feeling is far from mutual.”, he grimly took the hand: “Goodbye, Professor Xavier.”
He turned to walk out of the room, but before leaving he stopped by him, grabbed him by the collar and yanked him up to whisper in his ear:
“You are no longer my problem. The Professor is now your Master. I heard some things about him. I wouldn’t anger him. See you.”
Stryker threw him back on the floor and left without another word. Left him alone. Alone with a foreign human. The room was warm. He started to tremble.
At the end of the war, the allies freed the prisoners in the concentration camps all over Europe. Thousands could walk free for the first time in years, millions would never walk the surface of the earth again. And a few just disappeared. Some fled. Some were killed. Some were captured.
Only one was send away. And now, years later, his remains are discovered by one Charles Xavier on the mission to save his little sister. But there is not much left, not even a name. Who is this man?

end of the year tag game!
this was really fun! thank you @traumschwinge for the tag!
1. What project are you most proud of and why?
probably the 20k two-part series me and my co-author queerapostate smashed out in a little under two weeks in july. it's just... neat!
2. Which project did you have the most fun making?
twice as many stars, the prequel to the aforementioned two-parter and my entry into the HBO War fandom as a writer as well as my first co-writing endeavor in that fandom. it has a blend of all the things i like to explore: complicated relationships, class differences and simply two flawed people fucking up but trying to make it work.
oh, and couch sex, because why not?
3. Which project was the most unexpected and/or challenging and why?
dutch elm disease. very unexpected that i finally pulled the plug and posted what i had written, and also surprising that i'm stuck at the 90 per cent finished mark because i fell back into an old fandom that has stolen my attention for the past five months.
(thank you again, @widgenstain for the beta work!)
4. Which project would you like to receive more attention?
as always, i think we need more post-coital (and less post-rock): my erik/moira/charles high school au that to this day is one of the tightest and most structurally interesting fics i've written.
and dutch elm disease, because i'm greedy and need motivation to finish it.
5. Is there a project you intended to work on but couldn’t find the time? If so, what is it?
dutch elm disease, which i didn't find time for because i was busy writing about half-fictionalized/half-real marines and soldiers...
6. Have you noticed an improvement in your skill this year? Did a specific project help?
no real improvement in writing skill, but definitely an improvement in co-writing. twice as many stars is the project responsible for that.
7. If you could remake any project you’ve created this year, which one would it be and why?
tide pools. it's really neat, but it needs some adjusting.
8. What project would you like to make next year?
i want to finish the zombie au that me and my co-author have been working away at for the past five months. the bones of it are good, so i really hope we'll be able to publish sometime next year.
tagees: @ableedingpen, @dedkake, @insertmeaningfulusername @fullmetalcarer + anyone else feeling inclined, consider yourselves tagged by me!

20 questions - writer's edition
Thank you for the tag @hellfre @lindstrom2020 and @lyricfulloflight 💙
How many works do you have on AO3?
109 are listed, but two of them are Syd's (I just did some moodboards for one and beta-ed the other) and some are art pieces, not writing.
What's your total AO3 word count?
528'522 words. More than 30k aren't from me though but from... Syd again adsfkjfdkz
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Around thirty-ish fandoms? Sometimes tagging is hard and 2019-me definitely overtagged. X-Men is the most prominent one, followed by the Alien prequels and Slow West. Then there are others like Wanted, Atomic Blonde, Sherlock (yes the BBC show I'm sorry, but there's also an ACD canon one), It (the Muschietti movies), Star Wars, some bands, etc.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
(blessed be AO3's statistics page; also, they're all Cherik - what a surprise)
1. Spätzünder
2. I Give You My Blank Heart (Please Draw on It)
3. Charles Xavier’s Cacti Collection on Erik Lehnsherr’s Gay Socialist Farm Island
4. Charles F. Xavier Unmuted
5. A Legendary Tale of Living-Room Furniture and IKEA Sharks
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yeah sure! When I comment I usually expect something to come back from the author, so the ones who comment on my fic get a thank you and so forth (except when they're being, like, weird or rude, then they get a weird or salty thing back).
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
Probably that Cherik one with the MCD...
What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
Probably one of the Destique-on-Krakoa ones!! The wives deserve all the happy endings 🥺
Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you've written?
Indeed, Syd and I are working on one (1) crossover series between Shame and Filth.
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Not as far as I can remember!
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes 👀 Like, the explicit kind, wlw and mlm and sometimes other? Even a poly thing might have happened once or twice.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Hopefully not!
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes :D
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Aye, sure did and still do - mostly with Syd.
What's your all-time favourite ship?
Raven and Irene :') Please let them finally have a happy ending during Inferno...
What's a WIP you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
So many and yet so few to choose from 🤔 Usually when I think I'll never finish a WIP then I don't want to finish it in the first place, y'know? Like 2020's Cherik Big Bang.
What are your writing strengths?
My writing has been described as "poetic" or something like that.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Giving up on long fics when only two chapters in, never asking for a beta, regularly forgetting that certain WIPs even exist, and then probably some stylistic stuff - like using too many gerunds and writing in sentences that are too long and complex (though I'm working on that).
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Happy thoughts! It's always nice to have some authenticity in writing, even when it's only ("""only""") writing of the fanmade kind, and often people will put translations in the footnotes or something - and if not, there's always online translation. Also, if you got it, you flaunt it, at least when it comes to languages.
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Unconsciously? Jean-Paul Sartre's Le mur. Consciously, but never posted? My Chemical Romance rpf. First fanfic posted, like, ever? X-Men.
What's your favourite fic you've written?
All the ones for which AO3 had to create a whole new ship tag 😂 Power to the rare pairs!
Tagging (as always no obligation, and my apologies if you've already been tagged and/or have done this) @lemonadegarden @adlerirene @fullmetalcarer @elimaryholmes @nextraordinaire @jackyjango @librata-laments
