Summary
Outside the Slytherin dungeons, most people thought quite well of Charles Xavier. He was an exceptional student, a little reserved but impeccably polite to everyone, no matter their House or station, and never put on airs unlike the heirs of certain other old magical families.
In fact, his fellow students were occasionally to be heard wondering aloud how the Sorting Hat had placed him in the snake pit at all.
The year is 1949, and Erik Lehnsherr's in his seventh year at Hogwarts, as yet unaware that his world is about to change.

The tale of Erik Lehnsherr and the Sleeping Prince of Genosha.

Summary
"I thought you liked me. For the avoidance of doubt: by 'fun', you mean 'investigate a creature with powers beyond human comprehension'," Charles said. His face didn't change from its bland, pleasant mask. The grin was in the words, and the shiver of excitement he couldn't quite suppress when he spoke into her mind.
Once upon a time, Loki took an interest in a mortal child with extraordinary powers. His name was Charles Xavier.

Summary
Written for this genius prompt at footballkink2 on Livejournal: Lionel Messi is, in fact, an alien.
Bonus points to the press, for once.
(Not in a Star Trek/Wars kind of way, more like in a "Le Petit Prince" way, that strange mix of serenely self-aware but as inexperienced in this place and this body as a newborn foal)...

She can only be thankful that her trusted advisor and friend Charles is with her; but as she's about to discover, he's got his own agenda.

Howard found the Ivy League lecture circuit rather tedious as the years went on. However, there were still some perks. The adoration was nice.

They found Dan having a pint with a source in one of his more respectable regular haunts. When he waved them into a booth, his smile was just a little hectic.
"Well, hello. What new and exciting job have you got for me?"
Della couldn't help smiling back. "How do you know we're here about a story?"
Dan tilted his head, alcoholic haze gone in an instant, his gaze going sharp and thoughtful. "The two of you, looking like the cat that just ate the canary? Are you kidding me?"
