    Summary

    Erik Lehnsherr is a visiting professor at Columbia University, as well as an acclaimed and award winning poet. Charles Xavier is a lead researcher with the Genetics Department who is well on his way to tenure. But what happens when Charles has to cancel a class because half his students abandon him in favour of a mysterious new English Lit professor? Naturally he ends up sitting in in the class, where Professor Lehnsherr mistakes him for a student. It's really too bad Erik has such a strict policy against dating students. It's also too bad Erik doesn't seem to know how to use Google.

    Summary

    If you drove up north from Rome, you would in no time get to Maranello, the iconic city of motorsport, the place of birth for one of the most famous Formula 1 teams in the world. There, as you drove down the streets, you would see names of the past champions, proof of their legacy, forever engraved, at least on these street plates in this town. Erik Lehnsherr dreamt of putting his own name on one of them, making sure if no one remembered him, at least this city would.

    Charles Xavier never had a dream like that. He just wanted to do his job at McLaren, as quiet and unnoticed as possible. He didn't realize soon enough it would no longer be possible, as a Ferrari driver stumbled into his life and acted like the goal was theirs now, not just his.

    Summary

    Charles’s morning was already a disaster — the kind that begins with burnt toast and ends with mild existential despair.

    Then the Central line ground to a halt somewhere under London, and he found himself sharing recycled air with Erik Lehnsherr: the man he loved, the man he lost, and the one he still wasn’t quite over.

    Thirty minutes. One carriage. No exits.

    Nowhere to go but back through everything that went wrong.

    Summary

    It's been fifteen years since he last looked at Erik, the house, and all his mistakes. Thirty-year-old academic, he thinks, orphan, now, and starving, too. His mother is dead, and nothing has changed, except he forgets what he likes for breakfast. And Erik looks at him like - like he doesn't understand the language Charles is speaking. Like he has to strain a bit to make sense of the man in front of him.

     

    With the pruning, a branch is stronger; you will learn to love the shears.
