Cotton Walls by toestastegood. Charles/Erik | NC-17. In large crowds, Charles finds it difficult to control his telepathy. While they're on their recruitment road trip, Erik tries to help. This is protective!Erik at his best. ♥
Protégé by faithbeckett. (Original LJ post | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5) Charles/Erik (Alex/Charles, one-sided) | NC-17. Sometimes the worst kind of tragedy is what brings people together. I wanna gush adlfkjasl, but no spoiling the plot. So I'll just say: Set post-movie, so beautifully done and may have made me cry. Bonus: Great h/c and a really wonderful, three-dimensional Alex.
This Constant State of War by pidgeoned. Charles/Erik | PG-13. Mansion training as Charles and Erik inch toward hooking up. I loled a bunch and then I got all heart-eyes and just yes. Bonus: I adore pidgeoned's writing from TSN fandom, woot!
Call Me By His Name by sinuous_curve. (Original LJ post.). Charles/Erik | NC-17. A year after the divorce and Erik shows up in Charles's room, this being the first time they're seeing each other since the beach. Oh, my heart.
Not Without Their Charms by toestastegood. AU | Charles/Erik | NC-17. For his research into patient well-being, Charles begins regular interviews with the patients of a local psychiatric hospital. As well as reminding him of his own time there, he begins to experience snippets of memories and thoughts that aren't his own. Fun, fun read and I really loved the ending.
To Drown in Nostalgia by toestastegood. Charles/Erik | NC-17. When Erik challenged Charles to put his powers to good use, he didn't expect Charles to go ahead. Now he finds his mind and senses under attacks of deliberate nostalgia. Post-movie telepathic sex with feeeeeelings, omg.
