Must Play Chess (Charles/Erik)

Title: Must Play Chess Pairing: Charles/Erik Words: ~1k Charles would never have run a personals ad - that's all Raven's doing - but the man who answers does sound rather perfect... Written for Charlie, who asked for a Cherik AU inspired by the song "Personal" by Stars, which you can hear here or see the lyrics here. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Single male seeks single male — thirtysomething, intelligent, assertive. Must play chess. Mutants preferred. Reply to singlemutant1407@hotmail.com.] ~~~　 “Raven, what is this? This isn’t funny.” “What’s not funny i

Definitions of Love -- Charles-Erik

Fandom: X-Men First Class Pairing: Charles/Erik Words: 1190 Summary: Erik says he loves Charles like a brother. There is nothing, he insists, inappropriate about the way they interact. (Canon AU.) I. Erik has not had a friend before, not since the faraway dreamland of his childhood. He's had tools, people he threatened or manipulated into helping him. He's had colleagues – Mossad agents, most of them, people whose skills he respected, whose competence he trusted. But the idea of liking any of these people, of seeking their company outside the mission at hand, is not something that ever really occurred to him. He likes Charles. He

Roses and Cinnamon - Charles/Erik Regency AU

Chapter 1 Charles was fairly certain that when his sister made him swear not to go sea-bathing alone, she had not meant for him to rent a rowboat instead. Oh, but she would scold him! Charles tipped back his straw hat and smiled into the salt-laced dusk-light, marshaling his arguments. How was I to know what you meant, dearest? It's not like I can read your mind… The smile dimmed as he glanced down at the leg-and-a-half occupying the little rowboat. He could hardly blame Raven for worrying. But he could swim, he could. Somewhat more with the half-limb than the whole one, strangely enough. What remained of his left leg had considerably

Stand Down -- Charles/Erik

For PragmaticHominid, who wanted something inspired by the Flobots song Good Soldier (link below). Today, you don't have to be a soldier, Don't have to be a soldier, stand down. It's okay to be as you were, as you were again. For once, they do want the same thing. It's been happening more and more these last few years, these uneasy joint operations between the Brotherhood and the X-Men, now that it's become clear that Erik was right. Charles still denies it -- "We're not at war with humanity, Erik. We're at war with select branches of certain governments." "Keep telling yourself that, Charles, if it helps you sleep at night." -- but it d

The Better Men -- Part 10

X-Men First Class/Harry Potter fusion Continued from Part 9 (http://fav.me/d4nu1mq) ~8,000 words (in Part 10) Charles became gradually aware of sunlight on his face, which meant it was definitely time to get up or he would be late for his first class. Today was going to be bedlam anyway, all the children too excited about Halloween and their ball tonight to pay attention. He needed to be at the top of his game. His first attempt at movement informed he that he had a headache, and was very thirsty. The second attempt gave him the startling information that he was not in his bed. No. He was on Erik's couch, with a sub

But he will in the next one.)) Charles knew the knock on his door was Raven. After all, the ball started in only an hour; she couldn't put it off much longer. He tore his eyes away from the handgun hidden behind the leatherbound Dickens collection – he had to stop staring at the thing, it wasn't going to walk away – and took a deep breath. "Come in." Raven stepped through the door

By the time the rain stopped, they were both chilled and clammy, and Charles was twitchingly anxious about being late for his outing with Raven. "I absent-mindedly put her in charge of our costumes for the masquerade ball," he sighed as they stepped out of the dome and began inching their way along the wet roof. "That may turn out to be a grave mistake. You remember that extremely colorful get-up with the cape and helmet she tried to get

"I won't do it," she said very suddenly to Charles, on the last evening (well, morning, by then) of her tenure, when the farewell party was over and it was just the two of them on her balcony, watching the sun come up over mugs of black coffee. "I won't do it. I won't give Dumbledore's password to that psychotic snake. Rightfully instituted headmaster or not, I wouldn't trust the m

Erik said, spying the name Luna Lovegood Scamander on the return address. Charles must certainly have sent his letter earlier than Erik sent his; he didn't expect an answer from Victor Creed for days. "Shh," Charles said, glancing to be sure that Shaw's seat was still empty, and none of the other staff were watching, before opening the envelope. The reply looked fairly long, at least two pages of delicate, precise handwriting in s

I Don't Hurt Anymore

It had been a year since Cuba, a year since everything changed and a piece of metal confined Charles to a wheel chair. He often sat looking out on the grounds of the academy. He was still surprised sometimes by the buzz of life in the manor and on the grounds; it was so very different from his childhood in utter silence apart from the noise of thoughts which at that time was out of control. At times Charles felt the presence of someone on the outside of the walls, he was unable to read the mind, there was an impenetrable shied hugging the presence tightly. Charles knew what it was. He had first felt the presence about three months after Cub
