Fic: "Beguiled" ¤Tommy, Charles, Erik, XMFC ensemble, Billy ¤pg to R ¤slice of life, romance, angst
Hello, everyone. :)
I've just finished my first long Marvel fic, and since it revolves primarily around Tommy/Speed I was strongly encouraged to share it here. It is actually a crossover between X-men:First Class and Young Avengers/Children Crusade. I hope it is allowed here...? It also contains many "hinted at" pairings, both het and slash. It's all outlined in the header, though. :D
Title: Beguiled
Author: Nemesi.
Beta-reader: gravitycomplex (THANKS, love, for helping me bring this monster-child to the world. ♥)
Fandom: X-men first class c/o with Young Avengers
Genre: Slice-of-life. (Gen. Humor. Angst.)
Word Count: 8000+
Characters: Thomas Shepherd (Speed), Charles Xavier (Professor X), Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), William Kaplan (Wiccan). XMFC whole ensemble and a few Marvel comics characters are mentioned.
Pairings: Erik/Charles (pretty much established), Tommy/Kate (mentioned), Tommy/Lisa (mentioned), Billy/Teddy (implied). Cap/Bucky mentioned in passing, courtesy of Tommy's hyperactive imagination.
Rating: mostly PG-13, R in parts.
Disclaimer: Marvel owns my soul - no, I mean, owns these characters and themes.
Warnings: Blatant Tommy-love on the author's part. Disturbing imagery, such as torture and experiments on people is scattered through the text. Much Tommy-Billy interaction; though their bond IS meant to be brotherly and utterly platonic, readers can take it any way they please.
Spoilers: Only the most basic notion from YA have been used here. Same with X-men: First Class.
Summary: Charles is more than willing to convince himself that Thomas Shepherd has no family relation to Erik Lehnsherr (if only for the sanity of his own mind).

Part 1/3 It starts with a bang
Part 2/3 That the first meeting between Speed and Magneto is unplanned and violent should come as no surprise to Charles, yet surprise him it does
Part 3/3 The end, it also starts with a bang
