THE X-MEN FIRST CLASS KINK MEME: PROMPT POST
You know why you're here. You've seen the movie. You're asking yourself, "So where was the gratuitous Emma Frost as White Queen in a corset? When did Mystique totally make it with Beast? WHY IN HEAVENS DID XAVIER AND MAGNETO NEVER MAKE OUT

A couple slight (or not-so-slight) point of divergence as sex is totes no fun when you can’t feel it. OBVS. Pretend Charles passed the eff out right after he got hit, and that the bullet was just a little to one side. JUST DO IT.
Other warnings: schmoop to destroy you, gratuitous writerly abuse of canon and telepathy
Charles blinks, and the bright white that sears into his eyes is so painful he thinks for a moment he’s blind, or that he’s serendipitously awoken right in time for his last moment on earth, right in time for the brilliant heat of a thousand targeted missiles to erase any trace he ever lived.
But-
“Charles?” Erik says, somewhere to the side, his voice hitting like a physical impact, a banshee scream. He wants to see Erik, to be closer-
“Stop moving, Charles, just, stop-”

Charles blinks, and this time the haze of light crystallizes into the sterile gleam of a hospital. The accompanying, rhythmic beats indicate it’s his hospital room, which given the events of the last day is hardly far-fetched ( ... )

“You know why I do!” He doesn’t know what happened to Shaw’s helmet; no one’s mentioned it at all. He hopes it’s at the bottom of the sea.
“I told you what I was going to do!” Erik says, not shouting but close enough, especially considering he’s close enough to grab Charles by both shoulders, hold on. He did, in fact, tell, and Charles knows that once upon a time he would have roundly condemned it, but now he can’t, even while he knows it didn’t actually help Erik, even though he always knew it wouldn’t.
But Charles doesn’t just mean Shaw. He knows he should have seen it coming, the build-up of every conflict in their ideologies that Charles ignored in favor of just paying attention to ErikNow he sees-he feels-everything he’d glossed over before, all the anger and fear and distrust and hate that Erik harbors towards homo sapiens. Maybe Erik was glossing over it, himself, while they were useful to him ( ... )

But whether it is you or not this is brilliant and possibly a little schmoopy but I think we all needed that after the end. So basically I loved this, thank you for writing it.
