Beard!Charles exists in the comics right now because the baddies came and destroyed their mutant paradise island and this is his 'I've finally gone over the edge' look. Also, depending on which comic and who is drawing him he has a blond beard or a salt and pepper one lol (apparently he was blond as a child which I did not know until very recently :D).

Ah, a Beard of Sorrow! I wonder how Erik likes it?

General thoughts about the state of superhero movies at the moment? :D

Well, a hot take it ain’t, but they have a problem, and the problem is not superhero movies in specific, it’s the movie industry. It’s the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Churning, it’s the promise of Batman: More, and Captain America: Plodding New Content.

Throw the entire cinematic universes out the window, slash the budgets, let filmmakers make movies again. If some of them are about superheroes, even specific superheroes for the nth time, great (Spiderverse)! But the endless sludge of AI-generated IStandForNothingMan 256B is just exhausting, and that’s even when you just watch the gifs on Tumblr.

do you have fic recs where Charles has a secondary mutation that allows him to get pregnant? I read your fic My Name is Max and loved it so much, I’m now craving more fics like it!!

Hi Anon! I'm so glad. you enjoyed MNIM and I'm happy to share some of my mpreg faves! These are all canon, mutation related fics (I didn't include any alpha/omega recs) with Charles as the one with the pregnancy (though there are lots of excellent mpreg!Erik fics in the fandom too)!!!

Cherik 63 & 84 please!

63. injury 84. at the hospital

Of all the things Erik expected when he woke up that morning, it was definitely not ending up in the hospital with bruised ribs and a broken leg. He hadn't even made it to the office, with the accident happening not ten minutes into his morning commute, the little kid darting out into oncoming traffic right in his path.

If not for his mutation, and Erik using every bit of his ability to throw the car (and himself) out of the child's way things would have ended much more tragically than just him spending a few weeks recuperating in bed.

The other thing he hadn't expected was to wake up with his ex husband at his bedside, looking pale as a ghost as he held Erik's hand.

"You're here. They called you?"

Charles chuckled, a thin, watery sound that reminded him too much of their fights before he'd walked out of Erik's life and out of their marriage. "They called Edie and she called me. She's on her way; caught the first flight she could out of Frankfurt."

"Oh." He shifted a little and winced, his ribs protesting even with the drugs he'd been given. "What about the little girl? Is she alright?"

That really should have been his first question, but Charles always did have a way of distracting him, filling every thought in his head with his mere presence. It had been that way when they dated, and when they were married, and apparently even now...after.

"She's fine, Erik. You saved her life," Charles said, warm and tender as he brushed the hair from his forehead. "You almost died doing it, but yes, she's perfectly alright."

"Good." He looped his fingers through Charles' and closed his eyes, and let himself be vulnerable for just a moment; letting himself ask for what he wanted - what he's always needed from the love of his life. "Stay with me?"

Charles smiled and brushed a kiss to his cheek. "Always."

Drop a ship (or threesome, poly, etc.) along with 2 to 4 elements in my askbox to request a mini fic!

hi! what do you suggest as the must read fics for someone who is just starting to read cherik fics?

Hi Anon,

1. @earnestly-endlessly put a list together recently to answer this question and I think it's an excellent place for you to start :D

2. I was also asked once to give my top 5 fics in the xmen fandom, and you can find the answer here (5 canon fics and 5 aus)!

3. Feel free also to browse the gerec's fic rec tag on my blog, where you'll find my recs for all manner of xmen/cherik fics usually by a particular trope or au :D

Finally, here are a few that didn't appear on lists 1 and 2 but I highly recommend!!!

Blood and Steel and Miles Between by dreamlittleyo

(Post-movie AU.) On a beach in Cuba, Charles manages to talk Erik down from the edge. But even after the missiles have been diverted, compromise is impossible. There are two different futures to build, and Erik and Charles will always be separated by their principles. But when Charles is kidnapped and the X-Men can't find him, Erik will get him back no matter the consequences.

Meanwhile, trapped alone in his mind for the first time in his life, Charles comes face to face with the truth about what and who he wants. When convictions stand in direct opposition to the heart, which will prevail?

Spy Games by manic_intent

Prompt: Burn Notice AU, with Erik Lehnsherr as the spy and Charles as the trigger-happy ex boyfriend. Erik is burned for unknown reasons in Mexico and wakes up in New York City. Somehow, he needs to raise $500,000, in order to find out -why-.

Playing With Fire by professor

Charles is a detective determined to catch a serial killer.

If the serial killer doesn't catch him first.

of shuttered and scented rooms by pearl_o

It can wait. It can wait long enough for this. It's been years, now, since Erik last touched Charles like this. He has never been one to throw away an opportunity.

Math Reasons by pearl_o, pocky_slash

"Mom says Erik always knows what he wants, it just sometimes takes him a little while to actually realize it," Ruth said.

Charles fell in love with Erik the first night they met, the first week of freshman year. Two years of friendship, adventures, arguments, hijinks, secrets, and summer visits later, Erik is starting to catch up.

[fullmetalcarer]

Professor X's daughter is Xandra Neramani, the Majestrix of the Shi'ar Empire :D She was created with the genetic material from her parents after they were both deceased, and I think Charles is only just meeting her now in the comics for the first time (after she was assassinated and flung her mind into the cosmos, which Charles then caught and used the imprint to revive her through Krakoa's resurrection protocols lol).

thank you - I had no idea - I feel knowledgeable now :)

fic stats meme

rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.

Thank you for tagging me, @gerec! I was curious...

most hits: "Contingency," which makes sense because it's my only many-chaptered, novel-length fic (and the first thing I published!).

second most kudos: "Contingency" as well! My most-kudosed fic is the one with the...

third most comments: aka, "Special Topics in Mutant Studies," an enemies to friends to lovers fic in which Erik and Charles are rival professors at a small liberal arts college.

fourth most bookmarks: "just remember you are standing on a planet that’s evolving," also in an academic setting, but students this time (and friends with benefits who are bad at feelings).

fifth most words: "to put the world between us," my second-most recent fic, in which Erik is a semi-closeted A-list actor, and Charles...complicates things on multiple fronts.

fewest words: "Correspondence," the third installment in the "Contingency" (canon-divergent, early 60s) verse, which is just shy of 13K words lol, I cannot write short things, this was a real feat.

This was fun to look at! I'll tag @arcanewinter, @ikeracity, @joshriku, @rozf...and break out of X-Men Land with @destinationtoast. <333

Thank you for the tag @insertmeaningfulusername!

Amazingly I actually have something to share because 911 and Buddie have inspired me to write fanfic again.

So here is a snippet from a recently started fic that is currently titled: YoutuberAU (I will eventually give it an actual title):

"Shannon had left them two months ago and Eddie still felt that he was barely hanging on to the fraying edges of his life.

He was suddenly a single father to a son he loved, but barely knew. He’d discovered quickly that he just didn’t know the things he needed to know, the things a father, a present father, would know. He didn’t know Christopher’s favourite foods to eat, or that one stuffed animal he had to sleep with every night to prevent a literal meltdown. He didn’t know what size shoes Chris wore, or if he could put his shirts on himself."

I will tag: @pinkoptics, @gerec, @ikeracity, @ongreenergrasses and @cal-daisies-and-briars

@gerec

Indeed. My running commentary for tumblr updates is “3 steps forward, 2 and a half steps back,” because for every one update that’s actually kind of okay, there are three to five more that are the actual worst thing ever.

Is this because I said I’d be willing to accept tumblr live if they brought back linked reblogs? Because if so, dang it tumblr this isn’t what I asked for! Also I’m pretty sure the linked reblog thing still doesn’t work anyway, so what are we even doing here?

I say again: this fucking website/app, man.

any dark!charles or villain!charles fic recs? Both happy/tragic ending appreciated

Hi Anon!

I haven't read XMFC lately, so if you don't mind shameless self promotion:

Not so much dark, but an itty bitty asshole?

@gerec, do you have dark/villain Charles recs?

Resurrection of Magneto - Issue 2

For all Cherik lovers:

If you haven't been following / don't follow the comics - Magneto has been dead since 2022 after his battle with Uranos in AXE: Judgement Day and has stayed dead because he asked not to be resurrected (yes resurrections were/are a thing in the Krakoan era for mutants). The new mini RoM is about Storm going on a journey to... purgatory somewhere?... to bring Magneto back to the land of the living because she heard his 'call'/dreamt he was in pain and regretted his choice. When she finds him though, he is very determinedly NOT interested in coming back, wanting to atone for his sins and because he's just so TIRED y'all. But then:

Then Storm is like 'Bestie let me catch you up it's been a NO GOOD VERY BAD DAY for mutants':

As you can see, Mags is PISSED because he specifically told Storm with his dying breath he was worried about Charles being left alone and what he might do if pushed to his limits and that he needed (her) support...

It's a little hilarious that Mags is more upset with Storm for botching things ('YOU HAD ONE JOB, ORORO') than with Charles' (questionable? depends who you ask) decision-making and starts flinging metal name plates of his victims at her (i.e. people he's killed or were killed because of him and yes he's been tormenting himself, surrounded by walls and walls and walls of their names).

Then we get THIS panel of Erik remembering how he cradled his 'friend' in his arms and lamenting how Charles was the only one who saw that ERIK/MAX/MAGNUS/MAGNETO mattered too, and that HE (and not just his victims) also suffered from his actions....'WHAT DID I DO, CHARLES?'

'SO I CHOSE DEATH OVER THE DREAM I BUILT WITH MY FRIEND' - HE'S SO SORRY HE ABANDONED YOU, CHHHHHHARRRRRRLLLLLEESSSSS!!!!

But then Storm says 'but look at all the lives you've saved, that's important too. You need to come back and help us SAVE mutant kind and HE says:

BABE, WAIT FOR ME I'M COMING HOME!!!

Hey! I have Yahtzee’s Anarchy in the UK series in ebook form, if you’d want me to email those to you — Gerec sent them all to me a few weeks ago.

Omfg!! I’d actually be so grateful if you could :)
