Charles was setting the board for their regular evening chess game when he felt it, a tendril of irritation and discomfort from elsewhere in the mansion that suddenly flared and sharpened into pain. Moving quickly, he hurried down the hall to Erik's room, not bothering to knock as he pushed through the door. "Erik? Again?"
"Just came on," Erik ground out from between clenched teeth. He was leaning heavily against the dresser, his left wing held awkwardly out from his body, the feathers twitching spasmodically. "It'll pass."
"You must have over-exerted yourself chasing Sean," Charles said, stepping up behind him. "We can ease back on the -"
"I'm fine!"
"You're not." Quick fingers undid the buttons that held the back panel of Erik's dark turtleneck in place, and Charles helped him ease the rest of the garment off so that he had the full range of movement in his complex shoulder joints. "If the cramp struck while you were in flight...."
"I could catch myself," Erik muttered, then hissed as his wing gave a violent jerk. "Ah...."And

Erik's wings were long and slender like those of a falcon, his elegant pinions barred with black and a deep slate grey that faded to the colour of polished steel at the tips of his primaries. Charles smoothed his hands down over the long flight feathers, feeling them unfold like a fan beneath his touch as Erik carefully extended the limb to allow him access. "There now," he murmured, trailing his fingers along the dark length of a shaft. "Beautiful. You're beautiful

... there was something almost alien to the texture of the vanes beneath his hands, so stiff and strong in some aspects and so infinitely flexible and fragile in others... much like Erik himself.
The detail you put into Charles's thoughts and Erik's wings (and everything else, really) is beautiful, and the way you spliced in the part of Erik's past with Shaw makes my heart ache. And I love the vulnerability you gave to Erik and how his wings reflect that whether he wants them to or not.
Needless to say, still loving this, and very interested to see where it goes.

This is brilliant. Just like that, amazingly brilliant! Erik with wings? Oh Gosh, beautiful:) I suspect no one have ever written sth like that. It's just beautiful:)
I love this so much, oh god, it's just what I wanted and there's MORE? WHAT? I'm melting away here, fff. I definitely appreciate the details that you have put into Erik's wings. This is certainly an AU I could get behind. You are wonderful and I can't wait to read more!
(man, there's something very weird going on with my notifications here....)
Yay! So glad you like it - this really isn't my usual sort of thing and I've never had any interest in wingfic before, but somehow I got an image of Erik with falcon wings in my head and it wouldn't go away, so here I am doing my Token Biologist thing with him. :D Well, such things are pretty much canon in this fandom anyway!
It's meant to be a one-shot, but I do keep trying to work out the logistics of the movie for this AU - should be quite different given that Erik starts off with injuries that rather preclude him from the road trip and Russia, and he isn't going to be terribly good in tight spaces, and....

Settling in behind Erik once more, Charles returned to his preening, to the familiar slide of fingers over feathers, of emotions slipping into a comfortable state of constant, low-key pleasure. Technically, he knew, Erik's wings should not be functional, the condition of his plumage immaterial. The human body was too heavy for self-powered flight and ill-equipped to contain the musculature needed for bird-like wings to tear it free from gravity's demands. But Erik's gift was not restricted to his extra limbs - his control of metals seemed to also encompass an ability to harness the magnetic fields of the earth itself, buoying him up as he flew and allowing him to manage otherwise impossible manoeuvres such as hovering. It was entirely possible that Erik would be able to fly even without his wings, carried aloft by invisible energies

Porn is wonderful, but I'd be just as pleased with fills that are fluffy.
I keep seeing Charles being fussy over Erik's wings and preening him when he feels Erik is upset/he's being affectionate.

You've crafted such clear imagery! It's BEAUTIFUL. And omg:
"Sean flies like prey,"
I CAN'T EVEN. I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH HOW SPECTACULAR THAT LINE IS. I am hanging out for more.

I may be thinking about this a bit too much!
