So much happy! Seriously, I was actually nervous about this one. Hi there, kinky things. :-p
they're less likely to break my heart. ...as if I would! I mean, I'm not opposed to that--there are brilliant writers who can do that so well, and it would be completely in-canon, but...I really don't think I could write anything that didn't have some sort of (at least eventual) happy ending. Because we DO want them to be happy, right? To have hope that, despite all of the everything, they can still find some sort of compromise, among the ruins?
Hooray blanket-nests! And you are welcome, not that you probably needed the incentive! :-p
It is raining here, too. So I've got tea and warm fuzzy colorful socks (as well as other clothing, of course, yes) and am cuddled up with Awesome Husband on the couch. Ah, cozy evenings. :-)

This fic is a kink galore, you amazing woman, you! And Erik saying 'mine' to Charles, hnnnng-! And all that metal resonating with Erik, oh dear god.
ALSO! "“You can relax. I can hear everything you’re thinking and you’re giving me a headache. I’ll be fine; it just surprised me.”" That is SO Charles! *A* I could just picture him saying that~

I do love possessive!Erik. It's very in-character for him, I think--when he loves, he does it fiercely, and protectively. He's had so few people to love that he can't lose any one of them. And Charles has had to be so very independent--going away to Oxford, becoming a professor at such a young age, always having to be in control--that he doesn't mind Erik's possessiveness: no one's ever really been possessive, or protective, of Charles, before.
All of which is to say, happy you liked! And thank you. The encouragement is always much appreciated. :-)

I love the phrase "sanctuary of the night." It conjures up such a clear image and tone and emphasizes that the two of them are alone in their own private world. The friendliness of nighttime is completely underrated.
Lol. Charles and tea. He WOULD try to consume it all. And apologize for not being able to, probably.
Charles needs someone who can carry him over that brink, who isn’t afraid of his darknesses, who can let him surrender that iron-clad control for a short while, a brief ellipsis in time.
I really like this idea. Charles is usually portrayed as the "light side" of the Force their relationship, and of course he is in many ways, but only through a combination of choice and circumstance. Especially later on, the X-men place him on such a pedestal, and I imagine he gets desperately lonely because he knows he's ( ... )

even though a lot of the stuff in this fic isn't usually my kink at all, your writing is so good that it's totally be-in-my-bunk-worthy ...this makes you liking it even more meaningful, then! Very much appreciated, that you read & comment even though it's not necessarily up your particular alley. (To be fair, some of it is a bit more than anything I'd normally write, too! Especially the sounding bit. IDK, brain.) (Actually I think that was because I needed something that--if they HAVE been exploring this dynamic previously--would still be even more than their usual, and contribute to the situation. And I'd seen the idea somewhere else, and it seemed to work ( ... )

it's like the moment when you're walking around a corner, unthinkingly proceeding with your own life and goals, and then you get stabbed through the heart by a spear.
That image is both horrifying and kind of awesome. What book's it from? And yes, Erik needing to leave for a bit feels very in character; as vulnerable as he makes himself with Charles, when something goes wrong I think he'd still naturally revert to the survival instincts he's developed over the years.
I'm sure whatever you write next will be amazing, because you are awesome like that!:D

Um...oh, gosh, it's from one of her Benjamin January novels (which are all fantastic, by the way; I loved her when she was writing fantasy and I love her historical fiction, too, and this series is great)...I'm not remembering which one, now! Die Upon A Kiss, maybe? (Which, yes, is an Othello reference...) Her Sun Wolf fantasy trilogy is superb, but the historical fiction is gorgeous as well; they're all set in early-1800's New Orleans, right after Louisiana has been sold to the Americans by the French, and there's brilliant historical detail, and wonderful characters, and I owe my abiding love of metaphor to her writing, I suspect.
It might be the missing James/Michael story. That one seems to've woken up in my head, again. But thanks for the faith! :-)
