You know why you're here. You've seen the movie. You're asking yourself, "So where was the gratuitous Emma Frost as White Queen in a corset? When did Mystique totally make it with Beast? WHY IN HEAVENS DID XAVIER AND MAGNETO NEVER MAKE OUT

Five times lives fic? Idk. Really interested in the one time they're on the same side in WWII. Fucking and falling in love in wartime = hot. Shamelessly inspired by a gif I saw of them on tumblr.

Charles/Erik, Five Lives fic

I second wholeheartedly, even if I'm not much into historical AUs.

anon is terribly sorry for the delay, OP. RL is a bitch, you know? Also, how did this get so long? Quotes belong to Mahmud Kianush.

I am a traveller in my soul,
And the World is standing still,
Counting the steps of Time.

Erik dips his head and the helmet feels strange. Charles looks at it oddly, his face dark and unreadable.

“They wouldn’t let me in without it,” Erik feels compelled to explain.

Charles nods. “My telepathy can’t get out of this room,” he says quietly, and his eyes go hard as the door swishes shut. “But once someone’s in here, they’re mine.”

Erik looks at him and he’s sad for a moment, overwhelmingly sad, and Charles must pick up on it because he smiles and waves a dismissive hand.

“I wouldn’t hurt you like that,” Charles says. “Never, do you understand?”

Erik smiles sadly because he does, he really fucking does. “Come back with me,” he says, instead of oh but you are, you’re hurting me, the kids, all of us with this useless vendetta, with this war you cannot win. “Please. Xavier’s Academy sounds so much better than Lehnsherr’s

Oh my god what? Did you just cripple erik? And make charles the future bad guy? And give poor erik an adorable nickname and a house full of tiny mutant children? And charles, oh jesus, what is he doing, why is he doing it, and will you write more, please?

In short, here, have my internet babies/muffins/whatever. Please please please keep writing!

OP here and I am dyyyyyying already. This is fantastic!!!! Gah, you completely flipped them around and put Erik in the chair and he still has his helmet and gah, how difficult it must be to resist Charles and his grave little face and his blue eyes. Such a powerful, dangerous villain he could be--and with all the best intentions, which makes him super scary.

LOVE IT. LOVE YOU!!!

This is starting out amazing.

Oh Charles. Oh Erik.

That was awesome, and very unexpected. Really intriguing idea, to flip their positions, and yet I can totally see it.

(I'm going to have to skip the next part, as 9/11 imagery is the one thing that legit triggers me, but I do so appreciate you warning for it, and I look forward to the next parts!)

Dear OP: I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm having fun too, honestly, and these smaller ficlets are spawning into much, much larger ideas. O.o

A/N: So this one might be a little triggery, guys, because it deals with September 11, 2001. If that triggers you, please stop now! Thanks!

I am Time
And pass through the World,
Looking at stars and ashes,
At clouds and deserts,
At birds and leaves,
At people and horizons.

His mouth tastes like sleep and cotton balls. Erik is pressed against him, steady and warm, and Charles smiles and listens to the soft pulse of Erik's heart against his shoulder. Their bed is soft and comfortable and Charles really, really doesn’t want to leave, but the alarm clock is shrieking now and Erik’s starting to stir, and if Charles doesn’t shut it off in the next five seconds Erik will destroy it and they’ll be out ten bucks againHe hits the alarm and the shrill noise stops. Erik makes a contented sound and burrows

OP--had a hiccuppy sobbing moment. So well done (and kudos on warning for a subject that may still be too raw for some).

And you made Erik a firefighter which you don't even know how much of a hot hot turn-on that is for me. I am so happy you're filling this prompt!
