I need a new tag for my Awesome Fic Recs of Awesomeness
Anarchy In The U.K. by Yahtzee
Fandoms: X-Men, Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Summary: "Good God, Erik thought. The Prince of Wales is gay."
Charles lives in the unceasing glare of the public spotlight, yet keeps his sexual orientation a closely held secret, afraid he could lose his throne and force his deeply troubled younger sister into a role that would crush her. Erik, journalist and world traveler, has been a loner most of his life; he has little patience for closet cases. But a chance meeting in Kenya brings these two opposites together and sets in motion a love affair that will challenge the British monarchy -- and their most deeply held beliefs about who they are, and who they should be.
This is marked as X-Men fandom but, except for the names, it has nothing to do with X-Men. I guess there might not be a royal family fandom (officially, as I am sure there are many who would love to have one), so this title is as good as any other. This is a glorious, gorgeous fic about what it means to be royal and all the complexity thereof. Also, what it means to love, and be secure in yourself (which you need, if you mean to be in love and be loved for any length of time).
