Oh my goodness! Was I in the right place at the right time or what? :) I just started reading this story a few days ago. It is absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for continuing it, despite your frustrations! You have all the elements perfectly balanced--mutant politics, the high school setting, the emotions, the delightful inclusion of all sorts of Marvel characters, parent-child relationships, friendships--everything fits so beautifully! I love that high school graduation is the moment when Erik could tip either way (towards being Magneto or towards a different future with Charles). Oh heck, I love it all. Clearly your writerly instinct is golden, and you should keep following it!

Wow, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment, encouragement to keep going is very much appreciated. (Writing is hard! Who knew?)

Yes, graduation is definitely the tipping point. I guess this chapter particularly is all about pushing Erik to the edge, poor boy. And it's shown me just how morally complicated X-Men is, because I honestly don't know what would be the 'right' choice. Though I know which one he's going to make... :D

So intense!

Glad you think so! Don't worry though, plenty of good old-fashioned fluff still to come :D

I just read this all today (along with a bunch more of your fics) and wholly canoli, this is amazing! So much angst and sexiness and stupid Stryker!

so_shhy January 3 2012, 22:34:09 UTC

OMG, you totally did! *hugs all the comments* And I can't believe you read it all at once, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

I'm now running off to leave joyful replies to everything else... :D

I appear to be comment-spamming/stalking your fic. Thanks for writing!

Thank you! Yeah, Charles is beginning to get the hang of things... just in time to be totally traumatised D:

A very happy new year to you too!

You can't leave it there you can't leave it there OH DAMMIT YOU LEFT IT THERE. Jesus F Christ, that image of a hatching egg. And the crawly-corner-of-your-eye telepath watching. And the horror Charles felt that Stryker's pride in him was fake. EVERYTHING WAS HAPPINESS AND KITTENS AND DAISIES AND NOW IT'S SOOOOO CREEEEPPYYYY ( ... )

P.P.S. LB Charles vs. FC Erik was perfect and dashing and wonderful, which was good especially because I realised I'd ditched LB Charles somewhere random with the Brotherhood and that wouldn't be easy to write. But I'll reply to all that properly once I've finished.

so_shhy January 3 2012, 23:16:39 UTC

IT IS TOTALLY YOUR FAULT that I left it there, it only got posted at all as a background to the TCoA... which is really disturbing in a way, but hey, I take my motivation where I can find it. (And ignore my whining, I'll gladly write Charles-and-the-Brotherhood so feel free to leave me there if you like ( ... )

LOL the DVD-extras are taking over the film!!! Duly noted, I was mostly going to fuck with Erik a bit in the next part anyway ( ... )
