#relship: we'll always have cuba

[midrashic]

The world ends, but life goes on.

Seventeen-year-old Erik Lehnsherr has never left the underground shelter that protects a small band of survivors from an Earth wracked with radiation as its magnetic poles reverse. When the settlement encounters a deadly threat, he embarks on a dangerous odyssey with new arrival, walking encyclopedia, and enormous pain-in-the-ass Charles Xavier in the hopes they can find what they need to save the settlement—before the coming winter or unpredictable magnetic storms bring death to not just them, but everyone they love.

for cherik bingo! next chapter in two weeks.

In 1896, Erik met a foreign agent from the Free State of Genosha, and they fell in love, though his duty as a dragon-captain of the German Empire kept them apart.

In 1899, Charles has been captured, and Erik has finally chosen where his heart lies.

a temeraire fusion + no, don’t look at how since ike’s last birthday gift i’ve only posted two things 😬

Years ago, two boys found their way to Emma Frost's children's home for freaks and wonders.

Today, it's 1946, the war is over, and sixteen-year-old Erik has a motorcycle and nowhere to be until dawn.

i love @jackyjango 's cherik polls because it's a very quick guide to seeing what fanon interpretations are widespread so i can immediately write the opposite 😂

The animated kids' show that brought Charles and Erik together gets a live-action reboot.

ranking ships by # of lives saved if they’d just fucked. cherik gets a dishonorable mention because they fuck all throughout thirty years of movies & it just made them more insane

it WAS homophobic though that the reason magneto was wearing the black trenchcoat + black/gray helmet in magneto vol. 3 the seminal 2014 run was because he'd just betrayed to SHIELD & quit the scott-led branch of the x-men (which he'd almost killed himself trying to join) out of utter hatred for scott because scott had recently gone dark phoenix and killed professor x, while in the movies he puts on his, dare i say, most pussy-snatching ensemble to battle dark phoenix in order to avenge. raven

#ugh. god. the thing is. the irony of charles screaming at erik to 'let it go' is.#that's not erik's fatal flaw#he's not the one who isn't able to let things go#that's charles PLS say more about this I love irony and pain and also analysis!

the thing is. sometimes. i just say things

...actually “the night we met” is an INSANE cherik song but no one’s ever considered it because it’s so indelibly destiel

backreading cherik fics and the gothic adjacent fics are so disappointing. CHARLES is the rich freak who want to keep eric in his castle

while i absolutely see where you're coming from and. have written. some stuff. i think if we're strictly speaking about what's probable for canon, charles isn't freaky enough for long-term captivity. however that's what the iceberg theory of characterization is for, so let's roll with it. the truly fun thing about gothic monster/hero charles is that he might find it freeing to be away from the expectations & manners of society, whatever that looks like for the world & time period, but he's also profoundly lonely. i think rich freak captor charles lends itself to identity porn (which, as you all know, is my favorite trope). phantom-style masked suitor at night, beast during the day. erik, as a beast, is more likely to just demand that he be viewed as a monster with no deception, because of all his deeply rooted issues, so there's some real cupid-and-psyche east-of-the-sun-west-of-the-moon potential here

you have convinced me to consider a "tiger's bride" cherik au though (angela carter, not to be confused with téa obreht)

p.s. if you're finding the fairy tale-esque fics disappointing, you might consider some post-dofp dark charles fics where he does lock erik up, because erik can't be allowed to sow chaos anymore but charles can't bring himself to let erik just die or be imprisoned by the government again. good stuff!!

after much ethnographic immersion, i have determined that as of 2022, there's actually a roughly equal number of erik stans & charles stans in the current cherik fandom. they just happen to exist in entirely separate spheres & seem to be unaware that the other group exists. if you are suffering from fandom fatigue as a result of feeling that everyone else woobifies your unfavorite, i recommend some kind of cultural exchange that would expose you to a different circle of cherik shippers, because the one thing we can all agree on is that anons whining that everyone else in fandom is so stupid & wrong & annoying is possibly the most annoying thing of all.

My #1 post of 2022

but ALSO ON THE OTHER HAND the failure of telepathy. erik who is like "ah so he knows i am a monster" and just goes on like that glumly but also doesn't bother telling charles anything about himself because he already knows, surely he already knows. erik who makes charles his arbitrator of what is good and moral and thinks A Good Person Would Be Against Me Killing Shaw even knowing that he killed my mom, experimented on me, that his death is the only thing that has allowed me to keep putting one foot in front of the other instead of just lying down and dying, this man who knows everything about me and therefore gives me exactly what i am worth and it is the tenderness of friendship but no more, it is sitting three feet away from me in his study. and meanwhile charles is like :) can't wait to get to know him as a real person more than just what my telepathy can tell me because charles knows better than anyone that it doesn't matter what you think and that who you are is defined by what you choose to do (which is why he should convert and not just to give edie the satisfaction of marrying her child off to a nice jewish boy)
