#039; you will not control the threesome -- just roll the weed up until i get me some
hello, hello!
omg guys, i have been putting this post together for over a week now, but it kept getting postponed for one thing or another! i'd start the day thinking i'd update lj after work, but i've been working a later shift so i don't have as much time once i'm home, and the mornings never get utilised properly either. then i end up having to run errands, or go out with friends, or visit
the bf, or simply fall asleep well ahead of time. but! i promised you x-men: first class recs, and here they be. i re-watched the movie earlier tonight with chez_amanda, and it spurred me into compiling all the links :D
this post marks the return of the RECS + LINKSPAM format that i usually favour :D once again i've foregone including my thoughts and wizard hat ratings b/c i'm crunched for time, so consider this a kwik-start guide to another fandom, hee! just like last time i've bolded the ones i personally enjoyed the most.
1) wear you on my skin by chez_amanda
Erik wants to show the whole world that Charles is his.
2) the measure of endurance by what_alchemy
In a First Class where President Kennedy never interrupted our boys’ satellite scene, Charles has to return Erik’s gun.
3) to oblivion by what_alchemy
Erik misses the touch of Charles’s mind in his own.
4) response by bagheera_san
Charles is smitten with Erik. Erik thinks he can use this to his advantage.
5) call me by his name by sinuous_curve
Charles wakes from the absence of noise. There is an empty space in his room, beside his bed. Not quiet as in an abandoned room, but utterly, featurelessly blank. Like a box made of unblemished, impenetrable metal and Charles knows before he opens his eyes.
6) alekhine's defense by sinuous_curve
Erik's presence intensifies a great deal long before Charles can actually see him, sitting at a stone table with the chess pieces already nearly arrayed in their proper places. Its more than the nominal awareness of an unshielded mind. It's practically deliberate projection bursting forth from Erik. It makes Charles' heart beat faster.
7) how much i've been touching you by sinuous_curve
The problem with America, as Erik sees it, is that it’s such a damned big country that being told there’s a place to stay, “in the next town over,” can mean a journey of anywhere from ten minutes to two hours. And since he and Charles are forever forgetting to ask for clarification along with directions, it becomes a game of Interstate Highway Roulette as to how long they’ll be on the road before the next small town rises up out of the flat Midwestern nothing.
8) cotton walls by fic_flail
In large crowds, Charles finds it difficult to control his telepathy. While they're on their recruitment road trip, Erik tries to help.
9) poor little rich boy by rhenia_ra
The frequency by which he partook in the ritual was not great, and lessened as time went on. It was not often that Charles Xavier wanted to be alone.
10) jouissance by hauntologie
Suppose that someone says his lust is irresistible when the desired object and opportunity are present. Ask him whether he would not control his passions if, in front of the house where he has this opportunity, a gallows were erected on which he would be hanged immediately after gratifying his lust. We do not have to guess very long what his answer may be.
11) you'll be the prince and i'll be the princess by mumblemutter
The key is to focus.
12) beast at bay by rubynye
"Do you really think me safe, Charles?"
13) by any other name by celli_inkblots
Erik speaks endearments to Charles in every language he knows, but it's not enough to keep them together.
14) you know my name by dvs
Erik and Charles are spies with something in common.
15) all the worlds in between by manic_intent
An AU where Erik is the idealistic, peace-loving one and Charles is the cynical, realistic one when it comes to mutant-human relations.
16) all the fears you left behind by londondrowning
Erik has had one goal. He’s spent his life in relentless pursuit of it and has given almost no thought to what would come after he achieves it.
17) surface tension by templemarker
So Charles still gets shot and is crying in Erik's arms- but instead of leaving, Erik realizes that being vengeful will only ever hurt the man he loves. So he stays with Charles and confesses his ~feelings~ and kisses him and takes care of him as he gets better and they're beautiful and in love.
18) as ever by helens78
A stolen moment. They aren't growing any younger, haven't learned to love each other any less.
19) a summer day so late in coming by helens78
Fifty years after they fell in love, Erik comes to Charles with a proposal that rocks Charles's world.
20) to keep you this way by helens78
An idle thought in Erik's mind leads Charles to seduce him right in the middle of the hallway.
21) does it feel like this when by helens78
Erik keeps everything -- body, mind -- under wraps, leaving Charles no choice but to find other outlets for his desires. When those desires cut a little too close to home, though, everything comes out into the open.
22) when it has to be enough - or, 5 times charles tops and 1 time he doesn't even though erik wishes he could by bones_2_be
A look at points along the way in their relationship.
23) the art of training by lenore
Sun Tzu says to lead by example. Erik is happy to help Charles accomplish this.
24) sprachfimmel by cylin
Charles gets turned on when Erik speaks German.
