1sentence: Xavier/Magneto, alpha set
Fandom: X-Men.
Pairing: Xavier/Magneto.
Theme: Alpha.
Rating: PG-13.
A/N: My first try. I've written this quite a while ago, in November IIRC, but I only found it now and decided to post it. It's not very slashy because for me, Magneto and Xavier just don't work in the slashy way.
And for me, Magneto will always be a Jew, though I couldn't settle on a name, sometimes Magnus sounded better than Erik and then, in the next sentence, it had to be Erik.

1sentence
1. Comfort
Upon waking up powerless, it is strangely comforting for Charles to know that somewhere Magnus is experiencing more or less the same.
2. Kiss
"You’ll be marrying her?" Magnus asks and seeing that Charles will nod, he leans down to him and presses his lips against Charles’ for a second, then turns and walks away, his cape flowing graciously behind him.
3. Soft
Charles is the first soft-spoken man Erik has ever met and even after all these years, he thinks about the times in Israel fondly like now as he feels Charles softly calling out for him in his head.
4. Pain
And it wasn’t only Erik who was reeling in pain when Charles blanked out his mind, took away his evilness; they both hurt, knowing that they were losing the person they loved most.
5. Potatoes
Charles has to refrain himself from laughing when he sees the man known as Lehnsherr’s eyes blink happily when he sees the potatoes on his plate.
6. Rain
Genosha in the Monsoon season, Erik stands outside in the rain, yelling at the world for what it has done to him, for taking away not only his powers, but also Xavier.
7. Chocolate
Erik introduces Charles to Swiss chocolate and Charles swears that we’ll never eat American chocolate ever again.
8. Happiness
Due to the tasks Xavier and Magneto have chosen, happiness has become a slightly overrated concept, an abstract term even, they know that when - if - they reach their respective goals, they will be empty, not happy.
9. Telephone
His answer to ‘Call me if you need anything’ is the bitter yet simple sentence, "As if I would use this inferior homo sapiens technology."
10. Ears
"You got funny ears," Magnus, whose ears fit his majestic features, tells Charles.
11. Name
When their friends and allies are around, they only spit out each others’ names with disgust, but when face to face, they call each other by first names, pronouncing them with so much feeling they sometimes only are able to whisper because they feel so damn much.
12. Sensual
Erik is a passionate, fierce man with an incredible body; he is goddamn sensual and he knows it way too well.
13. Death
How often have they buried each other, never knowing if they would ever see each other again, fearing that now everything’s over?
14. Sex
"This wasn’t supposed to happen," Charles says apologetically when he wakes up naked, Erik next to him; and both of them know that the relationship they share is too important, too precious, too deep to waste it on this.
15. Touch
Erik feels a tender psychic stroke, an assurance and that’s enough for the Master of Magnetism to know that his best friend, his greatest enemy, is still alive, that everything will be okay.
16. Weakness
Magnus isn’t weak, his life hasn’t allowed him to be weak; Charles thinks that had Erik been allowed to be weak, he would be a different man now because his greatest weakness is claiming not to care, not to feel at all.
17. Tears
The first time Erik really scared Charles was when he told him his story, the tears running down his cheeks uncontrollably.
18. Speed
"How fast can this thing go?" Magnus asks his paralyzed friend mockingly motioning towards the floating wheelchair.
19. Wind
Of all the winds, the wind of change is the most dangerous, Charles knows that and he feels it around him as Erik lifts the Nazi gold up in the air.
20. Freedom
Magnus wonders if he will ever be free of the memories he shares with Charles but fears that losing these memories will kill him.
21. Life
In a way, they live for each other, they depend on each other, knowing that as long as the other lives, they have a reason to go on.
22. Jealousy
Charles spends more and more time with Gabrielle and Magnus feels jealous, not so much because he wants to be with Gabrielle but because he wants to be with Charles.
23. Hands
They shake hands, they don’t hug, they never have done so, it’s absolutely against their principles.
24. Taste
Charles and Erik sure don’t have the same tastes and neither of them ever comment on it but when Erik buys a Mercedes-Benz Maybach saloon car, Charles can’t stop thinking about the other man’s reason to buy a German-made car, why him of all people?
25. Devotion
They are both devoted to their causes and that’s why they can’t be friends.
26. Forever
When they first met in Israel, neither Charles nor Erik knew that their lives would never be the same, that the bond they had casually forged would last forever.
27. Blood
Erik Magnus Lehnsherr has so much blood on his hands but Charles Xavier tells him that it is okay, that he still cares about him even though he doesn’t appreciate it.
28. Sickness
Magneto has lived on Genosha among mutants who had contracted the Legacy Virus for so long and Charles Xavier always feared that his old friend could contract the virus himself, so he asked him to leave the island repeatedly but was only laughed at.
29. Melody
They have always shared a love for music, classical music, and they love Piano Concerto No. 21 by Mozart, and whenever they hear this music, they think about each other.
30. Star
They lay on their backs looking up into the night’s sky and Magnus knows that one day in the future, he and Charles will shine at least as bright - if not brighter - than the stars above.
31. Home
Charles lives in his ancestors’ mansion, he pities the fact that Erik can’t call this place his home as well.
32. Confusion
Erik is aware of the many crimes he as committed and so he can’t understand how Charles is able to forgive him, knowing that sooner or later he will be betrayed.
33. Fear
Erik’s greatest fear has always been to find out that he has become what he most hates in the world; Charles hates not being able to do anything when he knows exactly that his best friend is walking on a thin line, that one day he will wake up and realize he has become what he swore to protect people from.
34. Lightning / Thunder
"When you live through all the things I have dealt with, you stop fearing a simple tempest," Lehnsherr tells the American man who looks out with a worried look on his face, and rolls up his sleeve, exposing a set of numbers etched into his skin.
35. Bonds
Over the years, Charles and Erik have bonded with many different people, with lovers, friends and family, but the deepest bond they have is with each other; it is so intense that Charles sometimes thinks Erik is in the room with him, even now that he lost his telepathic powers.
36. Market
Somehow, they always managed to lose Gabrielle when walking through the weekly market together, always deep in conversation, while she admired the goods that were being sold.
37. Technology
"He was the one who helped me build Cerebro," Charles tells Moira, "and he is one of the few that can block it."
38. Gift
"You bought yourself an old Mercedes?" Charles laughs. "A fitting gift, really."
39. Smile
"I think Xavier survived." Magneto is told by one of this Acolytes, and a faint unnoticed smile cracks his lips open.
40. Innocence
Erik has never been innocent, Charles can see that, and he wishes his friend had had an easier childhood.
41. Completion
And every time Erik thinks he has seen everything there is to see, Charles manages to show him that he is mistaken, that you can never know everything.
42. Clouds
Magneto’s memories are clouded after the mind-wipe, but in his head he relives the times with Xavier over and over again.
43. Sky
Charles looks up to the sky and wonders how Magnus is doing up there on Avalon.
44. Heaven
"It’s supposed to be a haven for our kind, not a heaven" Charles corrects the young Polish Jew.
45. Hell
Erik has been to Hell and it only made her stronger, sometimes Charles quietly wonders how Magneto would have been if he hadn’t gone through Hell, if he would ever have been born.
46. Sun
"No matter how powerful we are, we will never be as powerful as the Sun; you may be a force of nature, Erik, but you are not and will never be the Sun."
47. Moon
It is a special thing to have a friend you can sit on a destroyed island nation with and who will play chess with you in the moon’s light.
48. Waves
Charles feels waves of pure, rippling energy that becomes stronger and stronger, and looks to the man he considered a friend, muttering the words, "Oh, Erik, what have you done?"
49. Hair
Many things have changed since Erik and Charles met; their affiliations, their opinions, their powers and identities, only their hair - or lack thereof - have always been the same.
50. Supernova
"Even after all of this is over, after we are gone, this bond of ours will always be felt, it is too strong to die with us."
