FILL: Of Sharks and Scientists 1b/?

[giotto_blue]

The blonde woman must have bought her ticket as soon as the park opened, judging on when she arrived at the Shark Encounter. She was dressed in all white, and her smile was dazzling. With her was a tall, thin man with dirty blond fringe. The two of them had strolled past where Charles stood waiting to give tours without so much as a glance, and he lost sight of them as they rounded a bend in the path. It was quiet for a few minutes, and Charles went back to watching the sharks as they swam languidly overhead, but was jolted back into consciousness by a flash of light and a loud bang

Oh this is absolutely adorable. Erik's logic and then Raven egging him on was hilarious and provided a great contrast to Hank and Charles' rationality

OMG this is so hilarious. Shark!Erik is adorable. He's like a child with his logic hihihihi! Also, I really like Raven in this. Poor Charles and Hank. (And Moira, of course)

“I hate Frost.” He scowled. “And I don’t want her on my knees.”

lol forever, I love you

At first when I was reading this fill I was like "Okay, this is pretty adorable"

And then they started reading that children's book about nudity to Erik and I was like "Okay, this is the best thing ever"

I can't can't to see what happens next!

I SECOND THE COMMENT ABOVE ME. A ROM COM ABOUT FALLING IN LOVE WITH A SHARK A++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“You were dead,” he asserted, putting a slightly-too-forceful hand on Charles’ face. “But then… you’re not dead.” A perplexed look was etched on his face. “I saved you?”

I MADE SUCH EMBARRASSING HIGH PITCHED NOISES

Re: FILL: Of Sharks and Scientists 5a/?

[giotto_blue]

I LOVE YOU! Please have little shark-babies with me.

Re: FILL: Of Sharks and Scientists 5a/?

[cimness]

You are my new fandom hero for this. I love all Erik's monosyllabic responses and I keep choking with laughter! :D

“That’s not foreign, Charles,” Raven drawled. “That’s called being dim.”

This line made me sporfle in laughter. Hard. HAHA!

This fic is so very, very awesome. I'd never thought I'd become such a fan of shark-turned-human!Erik. Go figure. :P

Somebody who's been on lj for more than a few weeks should tell me how to post this in a way that won't have it pushing steadily farther to the right every time... Hey, look, an update! Moira was getting antsy. Charles could see it in the way she swam around her tank. He had been talking to her, trying to keep her amused, but talking to a fish was boring, even if that fish was your girlfriend. There were no real responses, only wide eyed gazes and a gasping fish mouth, gills surging back and forth. A tap on the finger for yes or no if you were lucky. He tried to tell her about his day

Two hours later, Charles was dialing the phone in the hallway, panicked and embarrassed. He had walked into the kitchen to fix a cup of tea and seen something wholly unsavory happening at the table.

“Raven, I need your help,” Charles whispered urgently. Raven made a noise of interest.

“And why would that be?” She sounded too amused. She apparently found his troubles very funny as of late.

“Erik is…” Charles trailed off, looking warily at the closed door to the kitchen, where Erik currently was. “I told him that humans don’t have sensitive noses but are sensitive other places and he asked where and I didn’t tell him but he found it and he’s touching.” He was starting to hyperventilate.

“I see,” Raven said amiably, taking her time. “Why not leave him to it, then? A man has needs, Charles. You should know.”

“Raven, he is in my kitchen,” Charles hissed. “Just come over here and bring a book with you. That seemed to work last time.” He took the silence on the other end to be a smile

FILL: Of Sharks and Scientists 6c/?

[giotto_blue]

The School of Raven was not okay. Class was in session around Charles’ kitchen table, and he was powerless to divert his sisters best attempts to turn Erik into a sexual deviant.

“It’s like, you take it and you just kind of put it places, you know? But you know, you have to be careful about it, and you can’t do it in public. You have to be alone, unless the place you’re going to put it is in another person, but then that person has to say yes. And so it’s not like you can just ask so you have to do this whole long, drawn out romancing process.” She smiled at Erik. “And that’s all these flowers and chocolate and shit. Then you can put it in them.”

“Raven, stop,” Charles pleaded.

“He has to learn all this stuff somehow,” Raven sighed. “Honestly, Charles. This is the human experience we’re talking about. Anyway, back to the sex. You getting all this, honey?” She turned to Erik, who appeared to be taking rather vigorous mental notes

Charles has absolutely no idea what he's getting into, does he? And how does Erik manage to be both adorable and sexy at the same time?

If you go back and start replying to Part 1 when you post updates, then it won't go any further to the right. The new updates will show up towards the bottom, so they'll still be in order.

Re: FILL: Of Sharks and Scientists 6c/?

[giotto_blue]

Thanks for the tip. I'm Livejournal illiterate...

I'm glad you're enjoying this, by the way.

Re: FILL: Of Sharks and Scientists 6c/?

[helenorvana]

Aw, you're welcome! And I'm adoring this - fandom can retire happy, there is Erik-is-a-shark-turned-human fic now. :DDD

Re: FILL: Of Sharks and Scientists 6c/?

[giotto_blue]

Ssh- don't give the fandom any ideas about retiring. I need to live in it forever.

Re: FILL: Of Sharks and Scientists 6c/?

[helenorvana]

Well, yes, I agree entirely. But if it had to, it can do so victorious.

Don't retire, fandom! You are too awesome for that! This fic is proof!
