Summary: The Mummy fusion! Erik is a former member of the French Foreign Legion, saved from the noose by Charles Xavier and his treasure-hunting sister, Raven. In return, he agrees to help Charles locate the Book of Amun-Ra, said to be hidden in the legendary city of Hamunaptra. Meanwhile, Sebastian Shaw and his team of ruthless treasure seekers also find their way to the lost city with the help of Remy LeBeau, an old war comrade of Erik's. Digs are sabotaged and Charles's lifelong dream of finding the famous book seems ruined when Shaw frames Erik for an archaeology crime he did not commit.

Author Notes: First and foremost, this fic would not be here without darksilvercat. I cannot thank her enough for her guidance, frequent help talking me down from my ledge, and various read throughs. My eternal gratitude goes out to sara_wolf, immortal_lights and lost_in_dreamz_ for the beta jobs and look throughs. Last but certainly not least, for booshbesotted, who began this snowball by allowing me to play with her prompts.

You can find fabulous, fabulous art for this fic by thedeathchamber over here!
