X-Men: First Class does not belong to me, nor does anything you recognize from it. The title is from the Simon & Garfunkel song "Keep the Customer Satisfied," and doesn't belong to me either.

Come on, man, they're just a little gooey-eyed. Getting engaged will do that to you.

Those two are so sweet, the engaged couple. The Stevensons, right? You can tell they're really in love, it's awesome.

This is hilarious. And sweet ^^
They are clearly in love, & they need to admit it so that they can go on a series of perfectly orchestrated & adorable dates, & then move in together & adopt several kittens & maybe a gerbil, & then they need to get married & have a gorgeous, outdoor wedding

This is so hilarious! I love your Raven in this: she's so awesome! And the rest of the kids are equally adorable. I can't wait to see what shenanigans Raven has planned for poor Erik and Charles.
Omg, omg. I flailed so hard when I realized this was filled. And it's absolutely perfect. Seriously, I love it so much. Eeee! This is wonderful and I'm very excited for the rest of it! <3

Highly Evolved Travel is tucked away on the second floor of what had used to be a rather glamorous hotel. In the 1920s it had played home to flappers and jazz and more rum runners than you could shake a saxophone at, and there had been a near constant stream of star-crossed lovers checking in under assumed names. Or at least, that's how Charles likes to tell the story; Erik suspects it was a just-this-side-of-shady place that only washed the sheets once every two guests

The Office Commandments were Moira's creation (although she insisted they were as old as time itself, etched on a stone tablet that Moses hadn't bothered to lug down from the top of the mountain), a thorough and decisive list which ensured the office ran as it should. They were stuck to the fridge next to a postcard from Niagara Falls, and so far there were four of them:
01. Thou shalt not be cheerful before 8:15 AM (or, if you are, thou shalt damn well keep it to yourself). If any of us has to be here that early, assume that we are pissed about it, no matter how much we adore our lovely office and our lovely bosses and our lovely paychecks, and act accordingly

Just mourning your late, much-belated social life, that's all. Charles, breath in and out with me and try to remember, because I can still visualize a time when you were fun.

Some of us genuinely do prefer to stay at home and read a good book, cliched though the pastime may be.
And Raven, Hank, Alex, etc, the whole crew, works with them as well. But everyone's sick of how oblivious they are.
So they plot through office e-mails for a way to get Erik and Charles together.
