God, can you imagine what kind of flop this movie could have been without McAvoy and Fassbender making Charles and Erik and their chemistry so unbelievably amazing?? D: I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT, FFFFFF WHAT CLOSE CALL, THANK GOD. And yes, it was like, you could see the shape of what they could be together before they even met, and then they did, and it was like KABOOOOOOM! /DED.

That didn't occur to me, actually! Although I love seeing fanart and fic about it in retrospect, lemme tell ya. :Da It was the beach scene when Erik was cradling Charles in his arms like an impossibly precious thing that I was like OMG. O.M.G. KISSSSSSSSS! They're going to, right?! DO EEEEET!!

Ugh, I could throw around all the gushing and effusive description and the rambling on and on about them and still never write anything that did them justice, I think. ;_; ...Has it only been two weeks? D: Good lord, I feel like I'm stepping out of a dark cave and blinking/hissing at the sunlight after months-and then retreating back to the cave because the Charles/Erik cave is made of love and beauty and who would want to leave, anyway? 8| ...But yeah, I feel the same way, haha, I love all the things fandom is doing, and it's intimidating as hell when I want to write. XD
