What he did not expect was to be roomed with the scion of the Sainz family, a famous, ancient casting family.

Summary
He was sick of it, all this waiting, and that was surely what he was doing. Waiting until he finally worked up the nerve to just do it. It wasn’t like he had any other plans for what to do in Paris, and it was as nice of a place to go as any. Not that he’d actually seen much of the sights since he arrived, but he’d been here before, so it wasn’t like he was missing anything particularly new.
Still, he felt like he’d hit a standstill. No matter how hard he tried to drink himself into a stupor, to give himself the liquid courage that killing himself would require, he still failed night after night. It was yet another reminder of his own selfishness, that he valued his own life enough to risk endangering the lives of others by continuing his poisonous existence. It was only further proof that he was a bloody coward, like he didn’t know that already.

aka a Post-Dark Phoenix fic where Charles's plans to kill himself in Paris are interrupted by the appearance of Erik, but he ends up trying to go through with it anyway. Thanks to Erik, he does not succeed and finds new reasons to keep on living.
This is a fix-it fic for Dark Phoenix where I temporarily make things worse in order to make them better.

Summary
Harry is suspended in the summer before fifth year. Grimmauld Place may seem an unlikely refuge, with an erratic lord and a malicious house elf and a tendency to change when night falls. But a year away from Hogwarts offers opportunities, and Harry begins to learn what it means to be a ward of the House of Black.
'Magical families deal with the dead differently. The Potters bury theirs which is more of a statement than you’d think. It says ‘our kin are safe in the ground, we trust they will not rise’ - words your grandfather once said to me by the way, not something I just made up for dramatics. Other families don’t have such confidence.' - Sirius Black

Summary
Sweat beads at his brow, breaths coming in shallow huffs as Erik’s other hand moves and grips his chin, forcing their eyes to meet. Charles looks up and takes in the taut line of Erik’s lips, the unspoken sorrow lingering in his pleading blues, body tense as it hovers over his.
And it’s in his steel gaze Charles realizes Erik doesn’t know what he’s doing.
