Glad you enjoyed!

This is lovely and sweet! ♥

I hope you don't mind what follows, since you asked for German corrections.
I double-checked with the prompt to make sure you wanted Erik to say, "I could make you happy." A more fluent translation is, "Ich könnte dich glücklich machen."
Also, when Charles speaks to Erik in German, it should be "meinen Freund."

Rather nitpicky, but I hope you don't mind! Thank you again for all of the delightful fluff. :D

:D Glad you enjoyed!

And thank yo so much for the nitpicky-ness!

I thought that Erik would say, "Ich könnte dich glücklich machen." to sound more native but then I was like, "ARRRRRHHHHBBBBBLLLLAAHHHHH." And looked up rules and over thought it.
XD

And the "meinen" I literally spent fifteen minutes trying to figure out if wissen was akk. or nom..

So again, thanks for the german!

Actually, it has to be "mein Freund". I can't really explain why since I am a native speaker but my explanation would be that since he adresses him directly, it has to stay Nominativ. It's not in any direct relation to the verb that would require a declination.

(... additionally, it's "cheri" with one r.)

That said, I liked it! It's a very sweet little story :)

:D Thank you for both the german and french corrections!

And glad you enjoyed the story.

This made my day :D Lovely lovely story! Your Erik/Charles always reminds me of Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy for some reason XD But in the best ways! :D

ascoolsuchasi December 28 2011, 20:10:45 UTC

:D Glad you enjoyed.

Hmmm....maybe it's because My Charles/Erik swings back and forth between all-the-angst-the-world-is-ending to everything-is-rainbows-and-coffee-and-too-much-crack/fluff-what-is-this-even?

lol One line in particular, then, from that song, because AU's always remind me a little of the lives they could've left, and since I was really into Sailor Moon as a kid, AU's totally constitute as pastlives!trope in my brain XD

"And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster/I could write this better than you ever felt it."

IDEK XD But I love it all the same :D

ascoolsuchasi December 29 2011, 00:45:37 UTC

Past lives or future lives for the win, bro!

:D Yay! Also, I forgot to tell you, but I'm totally psyched that this made your day.
