Summary
The year is 1954. The discovery of abiogenesis, DNA and the double helix have made massive waves in the fields of biology and chemistry. Erik and Charles meet as young men attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, initially opposing one another on the Mutatis Mutandis panels.
Erik is an ex-Sonderkommando and Haganah veteran who fled to the USA after defecting at Sinai, versus Charles - a too-privileged-for-his-own-good trust-fund nepo baby with more depth and complexity than the former could ever truly comprehend. Raven is a "private investigator" in polite company, and a mercenary to everyone else. The CIA shows up to ruin everyone's day.
All of their lives are forever altered by these intersections. Lots of bickering, trauma, and yes, the overwhelming power of love. Follows Erik and Charles as they establish the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youth, and over time develop disparate views as Erik grows increasingly radical in his pursuit for mutant safety and Charles suffers a devastating injury at the behest of Sebastian Shaw.

Erik Lehnsherr makes a foray into the life he thought he had left behind him long ago and accepts a job as a hired submissive for a wealthy man looking for something he can't seem to get on his own. Charles, it turns out, isn't awful, but if his past offers any sort of indicator for what's to come, Erik can't be entirely sure.
Or, an AU in which submissive!Erik and dominant!Charles learn how to grow together.

Summary
“Ma,” came Erik’s voice. Edie’s heart rate quickened. This did not sound like her Erik, the one who always called with breezy anecdotes or trifling complaints about his life in New York. She knew that he did not like to upset her, that he liked to pretend that everything was always wonderful. No, this Erik, the one on the other end of the phone, was full of panic.

And as You Rise Above the Fear Lines in His Brow by Librata for flightinflame, midrashic, lavenderlotion

Summary
It’s 2020, and mutantkind has been declared by governments around the world a subspecies of humanity. Sweeping legislation has left mutants with the same amount of rights as animals, and governments, corporations, and private citizens are allowed to use and own mutants as they please.
Erik Lehnsherr is a 32-year-old mutant who lives in a testing facility, and he’s just been handpicked by some new asshole scientist for closer study, a sickeningly-proper British dude in a wheelchair named Charles Xavier. As they interact more frequently, Erik is beginning to suspect that this asshole scientist might be more than he professes to be.
In the end, it may be up to the angry metallokinetic and the sketchy scientist to set things right with the world, but it won’t be easy. And it sure as hell won’t be fun.

Summary
It's late 1940, and tensions between the Axis and the Allies are tightening. Displaced and alone, 16-year-old German Jew Erik Lehnsherr finds himself employed as a servant by some snobby, terrible family in England whose house is far too big and whose money never seems to end. The worst part is, he isn't just mucking stables or cleaning plates–-he's tasked with tending to the whiny, disabled son named Charles, who might just drive Erik into absolute madness.
Or, the World War II fic in which Erik and Charles experience a changing world and a lot of teen angst.

Some of the chapters take place in the canon movieverse while others are AUs. They always have their mutations, regardless. I hope you enjoy. :)
