Oh, Charles, your original plan to get rid of Shaw broke my heart. How terrible that Shaw would ruin Charles emotionally to the point where he thought that option was the worthwhile, even knowing how much Raven and the children at the school AND Erik loved him. But, if Charles was too destroyed to have hope for himself, or to love his own self, then I can see him driven to that solution. Good think the plan is changing... THANKS FRANCIS!

You wrote in the summary: A couple more chapters and we'll be done. WHAT! You can't mean "done" done. Can you? *whimpers*

Yes, the plan has definetely changed, but you know--Charles felt cornered by his own limitations, like the impossibility of physical contact and the very real possibility of losing graso and hhurting someone without meaning to. Going down with the ship seemed like an elegant solution. Good thing rik fails to agree.

Eh, I don't think I should drag this fic on much longer. I don't want to risk it becoming boring.

Aaahhh this is like my oxygen. Awesome awesome.

I love that Charles is annoyed that he is haunting himself through the medium of his dad. And that Erik is reading Jane Eyre :P

What Shaw has done is brutal, I was actually flinching. No nice. I hope he's had his brain fried and wont wake until Charles gets there :-/

So so good, as always, you're amazing.

Haha you know, I actually only remembered Fassbender was in Jane Eure when you mentioned it. I love that book and I think it's a book Ororo would enjoy and would be perfectly capable of strong-arming Erik into reading. I wasn't thinking os Fassbender, I swear lol

Francis hautning Charles' brain, well--I would be annoyed, too! It's amusing to a certain extent, but it might get old for Charles.

Erm, Shaw. :/

*shifts eyes*

Neither do I, but unfortunately at this point this story is pretty much telling itself, so.

On the good side I'm about to update.

Awesome, awesome chapter. It's just like Charles to sacrifice himself like that. Even though I'm always impatiently waiting for the next chapter I am going to be very sad when this is over. ♥

Thank you <3 You know, I'm going to miss this story too, but it has to wrap up eventually and I'd rather do it while everything still makes sense (somewhat). I don't like dragging things out.

Eh, I suppose Charles will always be Charles, down at the core, no matter how I twist his character.

Oh Charles. Charles Charles Charles.

Can't wait to see their escape and reunion :)

I know =( But Charles' plans have been forcefully changed, so there's that comfort, I guess.

I'll update soon :)
