It's always so hard to get and judge Erik's emotions, and I adore how much you created a subtle look into his mind--just hints of what he wants to do later with Charles and hints at all of the power that he could have with Charles at his side.

Oh, this is fantastic feedback indeed! <3 Subtle was the name of the game here, and I'm just thrilled it worked! <3

this is lovely - thank you so much, author-anon!

I love the new metal singing its siren song to Erik, the way he thinks of Charles using Cerebro for the first time, Charles's slyness and smugness, Erik's unruly thoughts ("proper food" = "take me now", Charles's eyes as weapons of mass destruction), and the poignancy of Erik letting himself enjoy the moment and imagine a future with Charles and their little makeshift family. and of course the sense that it's not over with Logan...

Oh yaaaay!! So glad you liked it, my dear! <3 Poor Erik, he just doesn't know what to do with himself in the face of Charles! :D
