Summary
“Well, why don’t you train with me?” Erik asks. He tries to sound casual, even magnanimous. Not to make it obvious that the idea of Charles in his head twists at some nameless place inside him, irresistible and not entirely pleasant, like pulling at a scab.

Summary
“It struck him as he sat there, watching blue eyes across from him calculate their next move, that he had no idea what the extent of Charles’ power was.”
Or: Charles helps Erik train, Erik wants to return the favour, even if he has to force Charles to use his powers on him

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
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
In Regency England, Major Charles Xavier returns from war broken in body and shadowed by scandal. Society whispers that he is half-mad, that he married his friend’s widow too soon, that captivity left him unfit for company.
Newly created Earl Ferrars, Erik Lehnsherr - the first Jewish peer of the realm - steps into this world of glittering ballrooms and venomous gossip. An industrialist with his own scars and his own hunt, Erik is brilliant, uncompromising, and mistrusted as much for his bluntness as for his heritage. Determined to carve a place for himself in a society eager to see him fail, he has little patience for broken war heroes.
But when intrigue and treason draw Charles and Erik into reluctant alliance, admiration deepens into desire - and desire into dangerous entanglement. Together they must hold the line between loyalty and love, scandal and survival, ruin and the fragile peace of a kingdom still trembling from war.

Summary
Edwardian London, 1905. The Veil between worlds is thinning, and the city’s fog hides more than smoke. Its fragile defence rests on a mismatched band of seers and augurs, fighters and misfits, scholars with ink-stained hands — an odd company willing to face what creeps in on Whitehall’s behalf.
At its heart is Charles Xavier: brilliant, magnetic, arrogant enough to believe that charm and clever words can hold a crumbling peace together. But when glamour coils through music halls and the Underground, it draws the notice of Detective Inspector Erik Lehnsherr of Scotland Yard — Jewish, blunt, iron in his hands and in his temper, with a hatred of injustice sharp enough to cut through centuries of lies.
What Erik finds is a Concord cracking apart: Whitehall compromised, the Courts circling, conspirators already feeding on London. Charles, for the first time, sees how fragile his lifework truly is - and how much they may lose if they fail.
London is bleeding. Peace was never an option. But perhaps something better might be.

Summary
“He swore he wasn’t imagining it,” Darwin continues. “But…he saw Charles last week.”
Raven’s heart clenches, and she rises involuntarily out of her seat. “Charles is alive?”
“No,” Darwin says, shaking his head. “He’s not.”
For years, Raven was the Slayer, Charles was her Watcher, and Erik was Charles’s boyfriend (and a vampire with a soul). When Charles is kidnapped and their search for him is fruitless, they assume that he’s dead. Before long, though, they learn that he's anything but—and Erik quickly realizes why Charles was so insistent about never wanting to be turned into a vampire.

Summary
Half of Anthis, two-thirds of Armis, and all of Asteroid-M know that Charles has a thing for older men.
Erik wasn’t Charles’s usual type, he was actually younger than Charles by four months, and nearly not old enough for him to consider fucking the alpha. But Erik moved with a confidence that threatened lesser alphas. His presence alone commanded attention. There was a gravitas to his persona that exudes power. Besides, he looked far too old for a man who was just shy of thirty. And well… Charles wasn’t one to let a fine specimen like Erik slip away without trying. So he had tried his hand at seducing Erik, and it hadn’t worked, much to his despair.
Erik had looked at him sidelong and simply stated, as though it were observation, reason, explanation, and dismissal all rolled into one, ‘You’re spoilt.’
The desire to bend Erik to his will only intensified for Charles. He had wanted to bring Erik to the brink of surrender and keep him suspended there. He had wanted to ruin Erik for any other omega in all the nine systems. It had all been a game to him then, and Charles was very good at the long ones.

Summary
Charles loathes everything about the place, its gloss, its grandeur, its deliberate falseness. Anything touched by his stepfather’s prestige and pomp leaves a sour taste in his mouth. He’d been dreading this evening ever since he’d received the invite a week ago, dreading the thought of being in the same room as Kurt again. And now that he’s here, it’s even worse than he imagined.
His paranoia aside, Charles knows he needs to be here. If he intends to take over the company in a few weeks, he has to make a mark with the board, with the directors, with anyone who might question his place. He needs to be seen as a presence. A figure of consequence.
He’s been waiting for this moment all his adult life — the moment he turns twenty-one and pry Xavier Pharmaceuticals from the greedy grip of his stepfather. And now that it’s within reach, he can’t back out. Not now. Not even if he loathes the company and consequences that come with it.

Summary
The room is tiny – which is good, because at least it’s blessedly warm, which he didn’t dare hope for, considering their luck, but it’s also tiny enough that there’s only enough space for a rickety side table, a small desk, a chair and a coat rack.
And a bed, of course. Only—
“There’s only one bed,” Erik points out needlessly.

Summary
Erik used his body as a tool in all ways, but it had always been as a means for destruction. He did not know how to be soft or tender, and had never had use for gentleness before.
Until Charles.
(AKA Erik is too afraid of hurting Charles to let him try anything, but Charles persists, as he does.)

Summary
It's hard not to get swept away by Charles' enthusiasm. The idea of finding others like him--of belonging--is seductive, but it is the thought of spending his life at this man's side that decides it. Crane or man, Erik cannot help but fall into Charles' orbit.
An alternate meeting loosely based on the Japanese folktale, The Crane Wife.
