    Summary

    Nearly twenty years after the Second World War ended in nuclear conflagration, Charles Xavier is doing his part in the seemingly endless fight against mutant supremacist warlords.

    He’s not much of an officer, but he’s a hell of an asset in intelligence, and his human superiors are willing to make certain allowances for his… peculiarities.

    When a field interrogation turns into an unexpected opportunity to talk their most feared enemy into switching sides, however, he finds himself acting without his superiors’ knowledge, against his own best judgment, and, frankly, rather recklessly, to convince a captive to become an ally.

    But telepathic contact is a double-edged sword, and by the time he’s found himself committed to a covert rescue mission, an overt revenge quest, and an unsanctioned deal with an enemy warlord, he’s well and truly worried that the other man’s mind may be having a dangerous effect on him.

    To say nothing of the other man’s body…

    God, but he’s surely not mad enough to nurture an infatuation with Magneto?

    Erik, for the most part, is just trying not to die too horribly.

    Summary

    He had been following Xavier's career for years. He had read and reread and reread again everything the man had written. He had tried, on more occasions than he could count, to recruit Xavier into the Brotherhood, but each request for a meeting had been denied. Aside from his work, no one knew anything about Xavier. Not what he looked like, not the full extent of his power--though from what little they did know, he was by far the most powerful telepath in existence--and not what his intentions were.

    The man was a recluse. As far as Magneto knew, Xavier had never once stepped foot outside his impenetrable Westchester manor. And now he was scheduled as the keynote speaker for the largest pro-mutant conference in the world.

    Summary

    Erik has dreams of a dark room, of being pushed down into the floor and violated in a way that makes him scream until his throat is raw. But Shaw never, ever touched him like that, so Erik wonders if he somehow repressed memories of Shaw's torture. Either way, he hides the dreams from Charles, intent on suffering through it alone, as he always has.

    And then one day, the nightmares come when he's still awake, and he realizes that these aren't his nightmares, they're Charles's. It's Charles projecting in his sleep, and then Erik realizes that they aren't nightmares at all, they're memories from Charles's hidden past.
