    Summary

    Seven years after the 'training' that separated them, Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier find each other again, both more damaged and burdened than they were upon their first meeting. But they are determined nonetheless to try and find a happy ending with each other... even if that's harder than either of them had anticipated. With the threat of Shaw still looming, four kids to take care of, Cerebro causing all kinds of problems, and their own individual traumas to work with, it's going to be a long road ahead.


    It was impossible, so impossible, but it was the same bracelet, the same eyes, the same freckles.

    The room felt too loud, too small.
     
    Charles’ head finally snapped up and turned from the attention of his friends. Erik felt frozen in place as Charles’ eyes sought Erik’s out, confused and merely mildly interested at first. Then his expression cleared, wiped clean, replaced with a look of complete and utter shock.

    Erik. His voice, his mind, up against Erik’s and almost painfully vivid as he stared at Erik from across the room, his wine glass tumbling from his hand.
