Thank fuck I refreshed my flist one more time before going to bed! (With apologies for the profanity!)

But I certainly never expected you to go *there* with the kinks - sounding is one of those things that I'm never entirely sure about, and yet is sort of fascinating to read, in way, because I just can't help but wonder why, if you know what I mean...

And then all the delicious hurt/comfort! I like the whole scenario with people actually using their safeword, I think, because I like the shock of that moment of actually saying it (even when I know it's coming), and seeing the instant reaction of the person hearing it, and how they deal with it in the immediate aftermath.

Also, I have much love for Erik calling Charles a tiny person, weirdly enough... *g*

I think 'thank fuck' is sort of appropriate, don't you? :-p

I didn't really expect it to go there, either! But I'd seen it in one of the other prompts while scrolling through the kink meme (evil, evil kink meme) and I was thinking about things that would be beyond what they normally might try, that would contribute to the situation, and also Erik WOULD like feeling all the metal... *wonders whether I should warn for that*

I blame fandom for introducing me to these kinks, which, like you, I don't really get, as a real thing that people do, but is oddly fascinating to read...maybe in this case because it IS so beyond the norm? *shrug ( ... )

I suppose it is! :P

I think Erik feeling all metal was actually the kinkiest thing about this, actually - just, well... ;)

I've never let myself go scrolling through the kink meme, because that way lies disaster, quite frankly!

the trust that you can say the word and back out and NOT be judged, but instead kept safe; and the trust, on the other side, that the submissive person WILL speak up if not comfortable.

This sums it up exactly. I can imagine it's very easy for people in Charles position to worry that they will be judged and seen as weak if they can't handle what's being thrown at them in these kind of situations. And there's an extra level of trust here, in that Charles will say the word and trust Erik to stop when he could quite easily instead just *make* Erik stop with his powers (although admittedly, whether he would have been able to muster the control for that at that particular moment is up for debate).

it's very easy for people in Charles's position to worry that they will be judged and seen as weak if they can't handle what's being thrown at them in these kind of situations. ...yep, precisely--so it takes a lot of faith in the other person and in the relationship, to admit to feeling fear or discomfort. I think that's why I like seeing this scenario, in fic, maybe--because it implies so much true intimacy and trust in each other.

And there's an extra level of trust here, in that Charles will say the word and trust Erik to stop when he could quite easily instead just *make* Erik stop ...yep to this too! I think he probably wouldn't have a LOT of control, or finesse, but if he were honestly panicked about something it would just be a reflex: make it stop! (He might've accidentally projected to everyone in the mansion, of course...) But yes, the fact that he doesn't--that even in that moment, he does KNOW that Erik will stop if asked, that Erik will take care of him--that's an incredible level of faith in Erik, to let him stay in ( ... )

I. YOU. THIS. *points and babbles wildly* THIS IS PERFECTION. You've managed to hit not one, not two, but three kinks of mine all in one fic, not to mention the amazing h/c. GET OUT OF MY BRAIN YOU WONDERFUL AMAZING WOMAN YOU. *worships at your feet* ♥

luninosity February 28 2012, 01:23:21 UTC

:D :D :D

Three, eh? Triple success, then! No, but I'm reassured by the fact that you enjoyed it! This one got kinky even for me. (Hence the embarrassed-ness at the beginning...) But I think I do like it--I love the protective!Erik figuring out how to take care of another person, and Charles being so calm about things, and also I rather like the working out of their dynamic and what they each get out of this relationship. (Okay, shall cease being immodest now.) And I do adore writing the h/c! We need more of that, lately; fandom, get on that (as it were) please...

All of which is to say, thrilled you liked and thank you for all the magnificent encouragement! *happy bounces*

I love this, from the way they fall into doing it accidentally even though it's been sort of shimmering in the air between them for a time, to the aftercare on both of their parts.

And tea. Tea really does make everything better, especially after a scene.

luninosity February 28 2012, 02:33:49 UTC

Aww, yay! You know how much I've liked your fic along these lines, so, that means a lot! *happy grin*

I feel like the first time probably would happen accidentally, don't you think? Charles wouldn't be embarrassed, or anything (the boy likes sex) but he'd probably be hesitant about asking Erik for something that might be a reminder of violence, and Erik (who hasn't had much experience with sex really) wouldn't bring it up, even if he thought about it, because he'd assume that Charles wouldn't want that. But then Charles is a tease, and Erik would totally lose patience, and, well, obviously they're both intrigued, so...

And the care (the aftercare, but also care during) is so important; I don't think I could write this without that. They genuinely do want each other to be happy, in every sense of the word. :-)

And yes, yes it does. Magical, seriously. The British are onto something, there. :-) I was happy to see that mentioned in the prompt, actually, since I love my tea! *cuddles new chocolate chai spice tea*

I adore this.

I made myself wait until I wasn't at work so I could take my time and immerse myself in it, and was amply rewarded for my patience.

I also got a little unexpected pleasure; top drop fic is hard to find, and good top drop nigh impossible. This is excellent. THANK YOU!

Re: <<<<3333 luninosity February 28 2012, 03:21:19 UTC

Oh, thank YOU! Such lovely compliments! And thanks, also, of course, for reading! Much appreciated. :-)

...I suppose I did write that, didn't I? It wasn't really intentional! *laughs* I imagine it's the result of a couple of things--when I started thinking about them and the D/s roles, I actually was thinking that they'd really be pretty fluid about switching--I feel like both Erik and Charles would get something out of either role, at different times, if that makes sense? So they'd both understand the dynamic. Also, I think with the particular things they're doing, with all the metal and the sensations and the emotions--both Erik's own and everything Charles is doubtlessly projecting to him--Erik's probably lucky he's good at self-control, and can hang onto any at all! (Also maybe some personal preference coming out in the writing? The top perspective is harder for me to imagine, I suppose, so I was cheating a bit? *grin*)

Again, so happy you liked, and thanks! :-)

Apart from everything else that I enjoyed in here, Erik talking to the coffee mug in the kitchen is just so wonderful. At least he was able to plan and execute to satisfaction the tea and scones portion of the evening.

I also love that Erik's one of the few people who'd be able to do any of this with Charles, to have the wherewithal to hang onto enough of his own mind in order to withstand the onslaught of Charles'. (The bit about Charles drinking all the tea people would bring him was fabulous too...nice moment of levity before the rest of it.)

Trying to imagine what the metal toys felt like for both Charles and Erik - absolutely incendiary.

luninosity February 28 2012, 07:24:35 UTC

Erik talking to the coffee mug in the kitchen ...Oh, I'm so glad you liked that bit, actually! That was, for some reason, one of my favorite moments. It's so...normal, abandoned unwashed cups on the table, and yet...still part of the plot, somehow. Or maybe that's just me liking my inanimate objects, again. :-)

Erik's one of the few people who'd be able to do any of this with Charles ...the few--if any, really. The people who understand Charles on that level, and who have that amount of self-control (because Erik always, always, knows who and what he is)...well, there's really only one person, right ( ... )
