I'm really disappointed with the lack of Erik Lensherr/Charles Xavier fics out there. I know the parallels between the treatment of the mutants and the treatment the Jews got in Nazi Germany are blatantly obvious. But am I the only one that sees the parallels among those two types of genocide and the type of hate and fear that gays have had to live with since Christianity took over the 'civilised' world?
That would make Erik's anger even more understandable, you can't get it any worse than being a mutant Jewish fag growing up in Poland when the Nazis took over. And you know those Nazis did some weird twisted shit to him once they found out he could control metal the way he can. I don't even have to mention the fact that he is played by one of the few openly gay actors that I can think of.
There is a plethora of Ice Man/Pyro fics. Because
. But since most slashfic is written by late teen/early twenties women, I guess most of them don't want to think about a sexual relationship between two men that are old enough to be their grandfathers.
Well ladies, you have to admit that they are both still good looking, and the thought of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen together is somewhat delicious (or is that just me?) And what of the times when they were building Cerebro together? I'm assuming that that would have been in the 50s or 60s, and Erik and Xavier would have been in their late teens to mid thirties at the time (I'm assuming Erik looked about 13 when he was put in the concentration camp in 1944).
They obviously had a falling out when Erik's hatred toward 'normal' people caused him and Xavier to part ways, but you can tell in the way that they react toward one another that there is some history there that we are not aware of.
Someone really needs to write some Erik/Charles fic.
