I think of X-Men: First Class Charles/Erik when I see this
xkcd
though uh, i firmly believe the first statement is patently untrue. they are totally the love of each other's lives. it's just. other priorities, they have them.
no, really. i spend half the time reading canon-based charles/erik fic post-divorce that makes me bawl and then reading flufftastic aus that end happy dammit because in canon the charles/erik story will never end happily says i.
(actual life update to come eventually)
