X-Men: First Class Rec List
This is my Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier (and also Charles/Erik) reclist. Mostly from the "First Class"-movie, but of course, many stories also have Comicverse thrown in and/or stuff from X-Men 1-3 and Origins.
I'm not going to make a note of that as often I don't even know, as I'm not that familiar with comicverse. Please refer to the tags the author used on the strory in question.
As these are all Erik/Charles (or Charles/Erik) and/or Erik+Charles friendship, I'll only note Rating and special warnings.
This is a work in progress. More recs will be added in the next days/weeks, but alas I have to reread most of the fics to better tell you what they're about. What a hardship.

Old grumpy men are cute
Everything about it is a love song by pocky_slash
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Erik's spent fifty years being a figurehead and he's ready to leave that behind. Luckily, so is Charles.(aka Old Retired Dudes in Love)
My notes: This fic. THIS FIC. This will always be my headcanon. Also: What it says in the author's summary. Exactly that. Hankies might be needed.

MindControl /Telepathic Sex
You Told Me Again You Preferred Handsome Men, But For Me You Would Make an Exception by feverbeats
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Dub-con, homophobia
Summary:He's been asked to trust a lot of men in his life, and he isn't about to let his response change just because he's developed feelings for one of them.
My notes: On of the first mind control fics in this fandom I read and I started to like what kind of issues were presented here.
Mutual Distraction In The Out-Of-Doors by helens78
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Charles and Erik take the chessboard to the park. The game on the board is the last thing on their minds by the end of the afternoon.
My notes: The best thing about telepathic sex is, that it often leads to one of my favourite kinks: coming without being touched ;-) Also, "chess is an important plot device" should have totally been on of the subcategories for this reclist.
The sexiest organ is the brain by helens78
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Erik thinks Charles has been holding out on him.
My notes: PWP with no angst in sight.
given back, but not to keep by Etharei
Rating: NC-17
Summary: It starts one morning when, walking down a hallway during a lull between lessons, Erik comments casually to Charles, "Don't forget to train yourself too.
My notes: I didn't warn for dub-con, because Erik gives explicit consens. But the fun thing about the kind of mind-control Charles can do is, that you would never know that it wasn't your idea in the first place. This is one of the first fics I read, that explores a bit of the things Charles could do, if he really wanted to. And Erik pushing him to do then. Of course they have hot sex in the process ;-)
Containing Multitudes by seperis
Rating: PG-13, Pre-Slash
Summary: This is how you win a war.
My notes: This is seperis. Need I say more? I put this in the mind control section because that's what the fic is about, but the mind control doesn't feature in sex.
As usual with seperis' fics, awesome characteriz/sations. I love how there is the explicit difference made between "Xavier" and "Charles" and how Erik learns that those might not be mutually exclusive. This Emma is one I can really get behind.
The line in the sand by ikeracity
Rating: PG-13 , Gen
Summary: The CIA agents on the base are bullying the children, mocking them for their mutations. Charles will not tolerate it.
Or: Charles has a line, and the agents cross it. Several times. And Erik discovers that perhaps Charles is not so much of a pacifistic pushover as he appears.
My notes: BAMF!Charles and Ruthless!Charles, with a bit of Dark!Charles thrown in. Finally a fic that allows Charles to use his powers as Erik wants him to! Sadly no hot "I am so turned on by you exhibiting your powers"-sex.
A Game of us by cesare and helens78
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Triggering content including rape, noncon, mind control, consent issues, a character unwillingly enjoying forced sex, degrading language.
Summary: Written for a kinkmeme prompt (contains spoilers). (link is in the fic along with more in-depth description of triggers
My notes: Yup, this is what I meant about Charles's mind control abilities. Should I warn for Dark!Charles? He isn't really...
PWP (Other Kinks)
Modern AU
Still enemies
In dreams begin responsibility by Kass
Rating:Pre-Slash, Mature (I'd say PG/PG-13)
Summary : "If this is my dream, Charles thought, I can kiss him."
My notes: This is movieverse only, as it was posted in 2008. As such it's one of those pieces that fit in X-Men 1-3 canon and yet could be future!fic for First Class.
Travel Advisory by Penknife
Rating: PG-13, Pre-Slash
Summary: Just a temporary truce until the weather clears up.
My notes: This ones even older, from 2003! Also, movieverse only, but it reads fine as FCFuture!Fic.
Call me by his name by sinuous_curve
Rating:NC-17
Summary: Charles wakes from the absence of noise.
There is an empty space in his room, beside his bed. Not quiet as in an abandoned room, but utterly, featurelessly blank. Like a box made of unblemished, impenetrable metal and Charles knows before he opens his eyes.
My notes: One of those fics that I crave after watching the movie. Not happy, but hopeful, because of all the feeelings.

Azazel/Charles/Erik
If you can bend this spoon (scanlated Doujinshi), PG-13
Remember to read each page from upper right corner to lower left (instead of from upper left to lower right corner)
And so I don't lose the link again, here is a lovely summary of the Erik and Charles moments through comic canon, including scans and comments, which helped me A LOT in understanding X-Men 1-3 and XMFC.
I'm not going to make a note of that as often I don't even know, as I'm not that familiar with comicverse. Please refer to the tags the author used on the strory in question.
