Fic (AO3): Time to Grow (X-Men, Charles/Erik)

Jun 26, 2011 20:05

Well. I don't deal well with tragedy, so this is what happened.

Time to Grow

Charles/Erik
R
~21,000 words

Summary: In which you'll find chess dates that aren't dates (or maybe Charles is wrong about that). - This follows First Class, but turns AU during the beach scene.

[On AO3]

or: [Audio!fic], thanks to theonlytwin and ruka_nanjou

( Gratitude and soundtrack behind the cut! )

Yaye, you posted it!!! Now I can rec the hell out of it to everyone. :)

zarah5 June 27 2011, 17:19:30 UTC

I did post it, whee! Nothing makes you feel quite as accomplished as posting a fic that's been gnawing away at your brain for a while.

(AU? You plotting long AU? I approve of this piece of news!)

azewewish June 27 2011, 18:04:51 UTC

So much word on that!!

Also, I am happy to be your music collection ANY TIME!!!

(And yes, I'm plotting - and starting to write - a really long, involved AU. God help me.)

Oh, and I made my post on betaing!

OH MY GOD. *wails* I'll comment on the fic here, because I can, and oh my god!!! It's so beautiful! And so slow-burning, and there's that wonderful dollop of angst in there that makes it gorgeous and Erik is so...Erik and everything concerning the school was marvellous and I kinda want to bawl in a corner because I want this to be canon so freaking bad right now oh god!!!

zarah5 June 27 2011, 17:23:09 UTC

Eee, thank you so, so much, darling! I want this to be canon so badly, you have no idea because beach divorce, no, no! Boys, you are meant for each other!

...but they both need a bit of time to work that out... And grow up a little.

So happy you enjoyed it!

I AM EXCITE!! And a soundtrack! /downloads feverishly/ I do love your soundtracks! Also, I have to say that my impersonation of a chair on your balcony could not be more accurate. <333

zarah5 June 27 2011, 17:34:46 UTC

Making soundtracks is so much fun! It feels a little self-indulgent, but still, soundtracks are part of my writing process.

That balcony chair is awesome, and so are you. (Although today, it was possibly too warm in the sun.)

I feel truly honored to be your coffee maschine, though you'll have to let me try it out to fully grasp the importance of this comparison!

zarah5 June 27 2011, 17:43:28 UTC

I assumed that you would grasp the importance of being cast as my coffee machine. And trust me, it is fantastic coffee. My consumption on the weekends has doubled.

inderpal June 27 2011, 17:46:54 UTC

My consumption on the weekends has doubled.

... I'm not sure if that's entirely possible and/or healthy.

zarah5 July 2 2011, 06:49:24 UTC

Oh, c'mon, I'm not so bad. On weekends, it's usually 3-4 cups a day, so now it's... a little more. Pfft.

I can't believe my luck, seeing you, one of my most favourite authors, once again in my favourite fandom. My birhtday just started and already I found this! This year is going to be awesome. I'm off to read :)

Re: OMG zarah5 June 28 2011, 06:31:47 UTC

Hee, hope you enjoyed it! (And thank you! I am flattered indeed. *beams*)

Re: OMG third_ray June 28 2011, 20:05:56 UTC

How could I not enjoy? Not only it was brilliantly written, but I loved to see thier story fixed :) Thank you so much for sharing!
And BTW - is there a chance you will be writing more of them? :)
