Carrying kink?

[anonymous]

O-oh God. Good thing this is anon! I'm feeling embarrassed just typing this, to be honest.

Essentially, there's a severe lack of wheelchair for some reason or another, and someone has to carry Charles somewhere. Theoretically, Erik/Charles would be great, but it's kind of hard to manage that, what with how they've split apart. ;____; But I'm fine with anything, really! Just... this kink. Um. Yeah.

Not only is this shaping up to be a really brilliant story with an intriguing plot, but it's one of the best post-film character pieces on Xavier that I've read in this fandom.

NA agrees with this comment; this is brilliant.

gaaah, this so good :| MOAR PLEASE.

Off to read more; dropping a quick note to tell you this last passage has made me cry and ache for his frustration and loss and refusal to let others see it. God damnit Charles how can you be so strong and badass?!

Late to this party but jesus. I had to take a break in reading to tell you how utterly gorgeous this is, and that the last parenthesized paragraph was nearly too perfect and heart-breaking. I echo the above comment about this being one of the best portrayals of post-movie Charles ever.

FILL - and these, from atoms (5/?)

ix.

The closer they came to the mine shaft, the more ill-defined shapes Charles could sense in its depths. Thoughts, scattered and fragmented. The formations of hysteria from men who had no idea what was happening. He fished around for a while, but couldn’t find anything solid to grasp.

Instead, Charles turned to the mine rescue communication system. Sound-powered, he noted, and while the radio would hardly be sufficient with the layers between them, it was obviously doing the trick as well as it could. “Hank, if I could borrow you a moment,” he murmured.

Hank pushed his glasses up nervously and crouched down to the coils. He examined them, then the radio box, and picked up the transmitter. “It’s a little crude,” he said, almost in apology, as if he’d been the one to design it. Charles smiled at him.

“But it will suffice. Alex, Sean-if you could, let’s keep an eye on the skies.”

“You don’t think they’d come here,” Sean said, nervous, after a long moment. He didn’t bother to specify who they were and he didn’t have

This is shaping out to be such a nuanced, gorgeous piece of writing, and I absolutely adore it. I love that you're taking your time setting up the premises and paying subtle attentions to characterizations of everyone (Hank being apologetic about the crude equipment, for instance), not just Charles. And Charles! My heart. I love your Charles so much, how he's trying so hard to step up to the role of the leader, not for himself, but for the others, and seeing him utilizing his strengths (as a telepath and as an intelligent, compassionate man) in this story is so heartening, and heartbreaking at the same time. This is how I see him, too.

And the plot! An actual, genuine, PLOT, such a rarity. I'm so looking forward to the next installment. <3

Ahhh, thank you so much! /flushes

I'm so glad that you're enjoying it so far, though it's slow-paced at first. I was so worried about my Charles and his characterization, so this was so lovely to hear. Thank you, thank you so much. ♥

You wrote Wisteria, too? ...I'd like to worship you at the altar of your choosing. I left an anon!comment there already, but that was a single most beautiful thing I've read.

I'm so glad you're tackling Charles here and so beautifully, too. Charles perhaps is more difficult to write, I think - Erik and his rage are sharp-edged and blazing, and maybe even flashy, whereas Charles is the opposite and painfully so. It's a slow-burn for him, and I think you captured that perfectly and so heartbreakingly.

You say slow-paced and I say perfect. <3 In fact, I love that you're not afaid to take your time. I'm speculating where the story is going to go based on the prompt (CARRYING! OMG!), and honestly, I can't wait. <3

Re: FILL - and these, from atoms (5/?)

[clocks]

Please please please update more soon, my little heart is about to explode. And are you the same author who wrote Wisteria? If you are, THANK YOU FOR EXISTING!

If you update by this weekend, I'll offer you my second-hand bicycle and a slightly disgruntled cat.

Re: FILL - and these, from atoms (5/?)

[anonymous]

... laksdlas, am I that obvious? XD;;;

Thank you so much for the comment! I do plan to update both today and tomorrow again, hopefully with much more writing in bulk. Still recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out, so this was slow going. ^^;; AAHHH KITTY CAT. YOU ARE AWESOME.

Re: FILL - and these, from atoms (5/?)

[clocks]

I sound like a total kiss-ass, but how I recognised you as the author for Wisteria was the beautiful writing, the achingly sharp characterisation and the obviously well thought out plot. It feels like I'm watching a sequel or something (it's better than a sequel because we can see/know how Charles feels.)

Totally looking forward to the updates! And ouch about the wisdom teeth!

Re: FILL - and these, from atoms (5/?)

[anonymous]

OP here. That plot is thickening quite nicely. Fantastically, even. I absolutely love your take on Charles adjusting to the chair. Most especially how he projects a separate image of himself, so no one sees hims struggling. ;_____;

Writer!anon, you are tugging at my heartstrings in all the right places.

Writer!anon <3

I'm so glad you're liking it, OP. /clings ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you so much!! I hope you don't mind how... involved it's getting, LOL. XD;; I just hope you keep liking it. I'm getting to the carrying, I promise! God, I am so in love with the carrying. /fail

IMO, this is the best story in this meme so far.

I'm blown away by how beautiful this is. So, so goo.<3
