Title: Usiku (1/1)
Author: monstrousreg
Word count:  
Warnings:  Mentions of blood and gore, possibly insulting language. 
Pairing: Erik/Charles.      
Notes: A one-shot inspired by this beautiful picture by Yaegakisawa. She is an amazing artist, and I saw this picture and this story just... assaulted me.

Usiku means 'night' in Swahili.

The sad truth is Usiku agents exist far from society and largely out of the law, by necessity )

Thank you!

I was concerned about not making Erik look like an older version of Edward Cullen :/ I figure most people by now know what vampires are all about so there was no need to write out the details. It felt better to let Erik be a little bit more mysterious like that, you know?
I think maybe what worked was Moira's POV--since she doesn't know what's going on with Charles and Erik, neither do the readers, and nobody gets any answers!
I'm very happy you liked it, and thanks again for the amazing comment! You can really put a smile on someone's face :D
