Charles/Erik - AU - Oxford fic anonymous June 6 2011, 05:56:32 UTC
According to the comic book canon, Charles was a reader at Pembroke College. I love Oxford so basically my plea is a guilty pleasure Charles/Erik at Oxford fic.

So, say that he's asked back for a conference, or something else. He begs Erik to come with him so he can show him around (and maybe show off?). Others can come too, if they like, especially Raven. There is drinking, pub hopping, and Erik gets into fights with some of Charles's old mates (either over their relationship, or simply because Charles knew a lot of rich, fascist leaning assholes). 60s manners about talking about gay sex in public should apply. Every Oxford cliche in the book, if you please. It can read like a tourist's guidebook: the view from Saint Mary's, stealing from the Bodleian, the chained books in Merton, the mock bridge of sighs, etc. A scene where Charles shows Erik the war memorial garden at Christ Church and they disagree about the inherent philosophy (it was built to honor students who died in the Great War, including those who fought against England).

Bonus points for sex in the Radcliffe Camera, with whoever is on bottom marvelling at the dome ceiling.

please please please please please with a cherry on top.

I would love this almost more for awesome descriptions of '60s Oxford, really, though the idea of a covertly-romantic tour of it sounds lovely and brilliant.

Seconding this so badly, especially with the "stealing from the Bodleian" because my school and I weren't even allowed to step into the library during our tour there despite promises THAT WE COULD.

OMG. Turns out, I've never wanted anything more than to see Charles, Erik and a bunch of Charles' stuffy Oxford friends have a conversation about sexual politics in the 60s at Oxford.

I just want this to see Erik beat up Charles's old friends.
