Why are you apologizing for teh sex? It was hot as hell and perfect! ;) I have to tell you how much I love the fact that you've shown how powerful and badass Charles can be, because too many writers seem to miss that fact. ♥

I'm glad I pulled the sex off :/ I was worried about it being icky and stupid. Then again, maybe I eworry too much about... everything.

I love showing that Charles is powerful telepath. I think this isn't shown enough in the fandom, everyone's so focused on how damaged Erik is, lol

ya never apologize you did a fantastic job! in fact you should do it again and again in the next few chapters XD you make BAMF!Charles super BAMF!

Lol I'll see if I can sneak in some sex but I don;t want the story to turn into sex with no plot, either. Although seeing as there are only two chapters left... *shrug*

I do love making Charles scary :D

Extremely hot. "“I like cuddling after sex,” Erik snaps. “Live with it.”" amused me considerably.

LOL after I wrote it I thought, 'what.' but then I thought it sounded funny and I just left it there. Not enough humor in this story, I tell you.

I can't remember if I reviewed the previous chapter. Sorry. My laptop had a virus this week, and I was pretty freaked out I lost all my data.

Loved this a lot. Sex scene was really good, no need to be afraid!

Not really disturbing, though. You said from the beginning that Charles could be dangerous and deadly, so no surprise here.

The whole thing with Charles being a weapon and Erik having to wield it (careful!), reminds me of Rurouni Kenshin and his relashionship with Tomoe. Was that an inspiration?

I'm glad I did well enough :) You know how I worry too much about stuff.

I know, but I guess since the chapter started off sort of mellow and warm, the reminder, that seemed appropriate to me, might be a bit of a slap. I just don't want anyone to forget that both Erik and Charles are dangerous in this fic, and their story is far from its end.

You know, I actually hadn't thought of Rurouni Kenshin in a while! What an amazing manga. It wasn;t an inspiration, but I guess the situation's similar. Erik does need to ground Charles, who is much more ruthless than he is himself.

BAMF!Charles is bloody terrifying! The two halves of this chapter contrasted beautifully :)

monstrousreg October 15 2011, 17:45:28 UTC

I know, right? I want everyone to remember Charles is no kitten ;) I'm glad it worked! Thank you!
