To Casey, Di, and J for their help with the betaing. It wouldn't be the same without you.

Think about the year that has passed. All the memories, the entries and posts that made the year special. Think about all your past layouts, default icons, mood themes. How about all those conversations you had via comments, or the huge post in ONTD that you spent all night commenting on. The 2012 Scrapbook Post is a way to help you remember all of that, in a single post.

xmenbigbang: Steal Your Heart (Charles/Erik; R)

2014-06-18T02:13:14Z

Title: Steal Your Heart
Author: afrocurl
Artist: maichan and estioe
Verse: First Class
Word Count: 19000
Rating: R for canon-type violence and sexual content
Characters/Pairings: Charles/Erik; Erik, Emma, Charles, Logan
Warnings sexual content, telepathic manipulation, canon type violence, bigotry against mutants, arranged marriage
Summary: The Mutant Islands sit in an isolated spot in the Pacific Ocean, inhabited by mutants after humans ejected them from their countries of origin or residence. Nothing was simple for the three islands as they struggled against each other, and the threat of war hung over them constantly.

Erik Lehnsherr of the King's Guard is forced into a mission he never wanted - but when he does so he meets Charles Xavier, who changes his entire worldview. One slight slip later, Erik and Charles are married and life takes a different turn.

Many thanks to ninemoons42, starxd-sparrow, kageillusionz and velvetcadence for beta help along the way as well as support when I needed a hand to hold. PJ, especially, because this story was a difficult one to put together.

Much love to both maichan and estoie for doing art for this and being awesome as this story took shape slowly.

Even more respect and admiration to aesc and trobador, where the original kernel of this story came from - The Accidental Marriage, was written based off their collective prompts in December and edited in early January. Also for all those people in the comments there who were asking for more, here it is!

-

Notes

Yes, there is more in this 'verse. Sadly time was not on my side for writing this whole story, but rest assured, there is an outline for it and it's one of the top priorities for me during the summer.

Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Erik/Companion!Charles, Alex/Companion!Darwin (both pairings in the mindbond sense), Raven/Angel, Raven/Irene

Summary: With Mindspeaking as powerful as his, the safest place for Xavier was Companion's Field, where he's lived all his life with his only friend, Raven the Changechild. Erik is determined to stop Schmidt, Ancar's mage, from ever harming another child; he has no time to nurse a shaky Mindbond with a Companion of Valdemar. And Raven wants Xavier to find his Chosen, but cannot allow him to face danger alone.

2013-09-11T00:52:45Z

Art Prompt Title: 1007
Art link: Art Masterlist
Artist: shaliara

Fic Title: a vision softly creeping
Author: afrocurl
X-Men Verse: Comics mixed with First Class and Days of Future Past
Characters/Pairings: Logan; Charles/Erik
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~5700
Warnings: children soldiers

Summary: The silent war between humans and mutants should not include children. Of that Logan was sure. Except when he found three, his axis tilted and he came face to face with a battle that he would not win alone.

So I picked this up as a pinch hit and shaliara was truly wonderful as I worked out my ideas, especially to not tread on the work that the original author had already done. After that, there was some quality time reading Joss' Astonishing X-Men run and then the actual writing.

Thanks to my betas: PJ and Jess, for getting this into shape and to M for on discussing the structure and ultimate frame for the narrative.

Summary: The day that Metallic Storm broke their silence, the music world stood still and waited to see what secrets the band had been holding onto for years.

What they discovered were stories of lose, pain, recovery and revival.

This has been a joy to work with Pala and I had a blast writing this story, even if it broke me a few times.

Thanks to PJ and J for the beta work and for all the support that they gave as I wrote this.

Also thanks to Pala for being an amazing artist and letting me run wild.

Authors: kiriana16 & the_me09
Artist: afrocurl
Fandom: XMFC
Rating: M
Characters/Pairings: Erik/Charles, background Raven/Azazel, Warren Worthington, Kitty Pryde, Rogue and others
Warnings: Multiple attempted kidnappings (it's with somewhat good intentions, but still)
Summary: Charles and Erik have been together for ten years, Alpha and Omega. They have a wonderful marriage and Charles is grateful for what he has. That doesn’t mean he’s content with it.

For the past three years they’ve been trying their hardest to conceive. They’ve both had fertility tests and everything should be fine, but it’s not. Charles feels his biological clock ticking. The pressure to give Erik a baby is nothing compared to how much Charles wants a child. He would do anything to get a baby.

Even steal one. Or several.

As I've been known to do, I went with a mix for this fic, mostly because I can and it was a joy to work with both of my authors here.

Word Count: 23739
Rating: Hard R for sexual content and language
Characters/Pairings: Charles Xavier/Erik Lehnsherr, Emma Frost, William Stryker Jr, Warren Worthington III, Wade Wilson. Included are also characters from The West Wing and The Newsroom
Warnings sexual context, strong language, Deadpool
Summary: Impassioned Mutant Rights Advocate Erik Lehnsherr will not stand to watch William Stryker Jr ruin the United States as President. Little does Erik know that as he runs for President, he'll meet a newspaper reporter who will change his focus and desire.

This would not have been possible without the discussion and time with maichan. Please, please look at what she made for this. It’s incredible! I’m so grateful that she agreed to make something like this for the idea of a political AU and even more grateful of our secret shame hidden in plain sight. M, it’s been a fun ride with you here and thank you for all the work and time you took into this. This Big Bang has been fun!

My love and respect also go out to etharei, ninemoons42 and starxd-sparrow for their beta work throughout the whole thing.

For the sake of this whole universe, it combines elements from various Sorkin shows, mostly relying on The Newsroom and The West Wing. Their roles are similar if not exactly comparable to the end of both show’s canons as of now (no S2 spoilers for The Newsroom are here). The plot for part of this is also centered from The American President, but not entirely.

Summary: There's a box, and not the right answer. There are emails, emotional livejournal posts, and more than enough tumblr posts to go around. There are five friends and one common goal.

Much love to PJ for her mix, and for her patience all challenge long with this art. I'm glad I could step in to get something.

To both RBB and XMenTales chats for providing useful help with the emails.

To tahariel for her beta help, even though she wanted to throttle Erik during most of it.

Firstly, I owe everything to beanrice for being awesome as I picked this up as a pinch-hit. It was truly great to work with you, J!

Secondly, many many things to starxd_sparrow and unforgotten for their beta work at the end. outcomewolves also was a real life sounding board for so much of this.

Thirdly, to all of RBB chat for being there while I powered through scenes of this in word wars.

Summary: Nuclear Winter breads cautions amongst the US leaders. Rounding up groups of dissenters, they are set to work of be sold for their crimes. Will a friendship between Charles and Erik survive these conditions?

This was written for the first xmenreversebang, and the first time I've ever decided to do something this large on a fandom scale. First and foremost, I need to thank etirabys for her art and her ideas, as this is something so far out of my normal style.

Secondly to nekosmuse and pookaseraph for their alpha support in this. I would not have made it as far without you both.

Thirdly to etharei and starxd_sparrow for their beta help at the end. You are both amazing.

Fourth to everyone who ever was in the RBB chat. I can't tell how much help it was to have you all there, either for word wars or something silly. You're all amazing.

stlkrchck: hahahaha. ...how is it? it looks terrible.
afrocurl: oh, I like fassy's jane eyre
mostly for the damn horse story
chiasmus: overall i liked the last season of angel? but i know a lot of people who don't.
i still need to see fassbender's jane eyre
afrocurl: oh angel, I didn't watch most of the series, but did watch all of s5 because well, I'm a freak
and I needed to see smile time
chiasmus: smile time is like, my favorite ever.
afrocurl: smile time is amazing
i want to live in edlund's brain
chiasmus: i really like the first two seasons -- season three is generally okay, season four is TERRIBLE except for like, four episodes, and then I like most of season five.
afrocurl: are we ready to watch
chiasmus: and yes, i want to live in his brain too
afrocurl: we'll spam each other and twitter with ~feelings
chiasmus: yes!
stlkrchck: wait, sorry, catching up on what everyone said while i was getting ready!
chiasmus: i am ready to go whenever

stlkrchck: i...meant angel the FASSBENDER movie, but that's good to know about the tv show
and the horse story is amazing
chiasmus: OH
afrocurl: though the music on the dvd menu is annoying
chiasmus: i forgot that was a movie
afrocurl: OH didn't know such a movie existed. Oops me!
stlkrchck: and i would totally watch jane eyre if you wanted to at some point
afrocurl: me too!
stlkrchck: YAY!

stlkrchck: i also have a jane eyre problem
chiasmus: since i do want to watch it.
stlkrchck: SUCCESS!
afrocurl: we'll plan that for next weekend mayhaps?

afrocurl: plus you made it near impossible for me to see fassy naked
chiasmus: ME TOO
afrocurl: THAT IS JSUT WRONG!
stlkrchck: i was like, "who are these weird people in a lineup"?
clearly i need to get a grip
afrocurl: randoms
no1 currs about them
but we do care about one of these people now
stlkrchck: ok, random question
this is a different actor than in the first movie, yes?
(the little boy and parents)
chiasmus: i think so?
afrocurl: I thought it was the same scene
chiasmus: it's slightly different
but presented the same?
stlkrchck: THE GATE
afrocurl: but I didn't pay enough attention when I watched X1 this summer to really notice
stlkrchck: (he called her mama there, right?)
afrocurl: I think so
chiasmus: yay! i remembered correctly!
afrocurl: ooh look, I still want more Doctor Who crossovers with this kid
chiasmus: BB!CHARLES
stlkrchck: oh charles, your picture frames are so sad and adorable
afrocurl: or because of this kid
chiasmus: YES
er
afrocurl: they really are. Einstein!
chiasmus: Rita Hayworth!
stlkrchck: haha
afrocurl: hot chocolate
the way that Charles know something is wrong in the state of Westcheter
stlkrchck: oh, bb!charles, you make me so sad
afrocurl: I know
chiasmus: yeah

chiasmus: YOU ARE SO ADORABLE AND SAD
afrocurl: bb!Raven is precious

so do we think she goes by xavier?
yes! the smile!
chiasmus: smile!
afrocurl: In this 'vese, maybe
stlkrchck: oh god, his accent
chiasmus: i always assumed in this she does?
OH GOD
yeah
afrocurl: ugh, movie, La Vie en Rose wasn't out yet
SHUT IT SHAW!!!!
stlkrchck: i love that the kid, with the exception of his head hanging, has the same posture as adult erik
ultra, ultra upright
chiasmus: yes
afrocurl: yeah, but Erik's has years to get over being this poor kid
stlkrchck: constipated face (sorry, sorry)
afrocurl: the grabby hands are so precious
stlkrchck: yes!
chiasmus: very
stlkrchck: don't do it, shaw!
afrocurl: he's like, work, magic powers work!
I wanna see my mama!
stlkrchck: aww, yes!
chiasmus: oh erik
stlkrchck: oh god this scene :(
afrocurl: yes!
chiasmus: :(
afrocurl: ;___;
chiasmus: ALL MY TEARS
afrocurl: shaw's a fuckin' cheater!
stlkrchck: she's telling him he can do it, so she must know that he has powers, yes?
oh man, me too
afrocurl: yes, she must know
stlkrchck: OH NO
afrocurl: she saw a bit of it from the opening, I think
chiasmus: well, she's saying everything is all right? so even if she didn't maybe she's just trying to be reassuring?
stlkrchck: (ok, i'm sorry, but he's HOT in the half glasses)
chiasmus: and the opening
stlkrchck: true
i'd forgotten about that
afrocurl: that had to be a horrible way to die
being smooched in the head by your helmet
stlkrchck: yes!
afrocurl: where's my gif of gosling punching bacon in the face?
chiasmus: yeah, brain smooshes not fun.
stlkrchck: the anger and pain line is SO AWFUL
afrocurl: I wnat it right now for ~reasons
stlkrchck: hahaha
chiasmus: haha i was so glad you showed me that gif
afrocurl: I got neko to put in into fic
it was great
stlkrchck: mmm, fassbender hands
and chest
chiasmus: yes
afrocurl: fassy in general
stlkrchck: is shallow
YES
afrocurl: is shallow with you
stlkrchck: and LOUNGING
YES
chiasmus: CHARLES XAVIER
YOUR MOTHERFUCKING FACE
shallow now too
stlkrchck: hahahaa
chiasmus: (sorry)
afrocurl: Bond, James Bond
chiasmus: haha
stlkrchck: he is awful
SO awful
:)
chiasmus: you and your ~groovy mutations~
afrocurl: not deformed Amy, just different
chiasmus: you musn't knock it
afrocurl: that smile!
stlkrchck: i love that mcavoy apparently insisted on the entire exchange
chiasmus: haha
stlkrchck: raven, you are SUPER hot
chiasmus: YES
and resigned to colas.
afrocurl: Jennifer has great boobs
stlkrchck: (also, yes, that smile)
afrocurl: I swear
chiasmus: UGH, HIS FACE.
afrocurl: their FACES!
chiasmus: YES
afrocurl: he doesn't want to lose you, Raven.
stlkrchck: i know!
this really bothers me
chiasmus: see, watch!
afrocurl: protection does funny things to people, Raven.
stlkrchck: mmm, so hot in the lilac shirt
afrocurl: Charles, you aren't being reaffirming. That's why Raven is worried about her looks.
that hat!
stlkrchck: YUM
and the sideburns
chiasmus: oh Charles
YES
HAT
afrocurl: Fassy, why is your french so good?
stlkrchck: charles isn't being reassuring, but raven wants a hell of a lot more than acceptance from charles, which creeps me out
afrocurl: oh yeah, stlkrchck, that's true. Raven wants more than his friendship, and that is creepy on some level
stlkrchck: his eyes are the most amazing color
afrocurl: that also had to fuckin' hurt
chiasmus: oh yeah
i'm kind of surprised he stayed conscious
stlkrchck: is he wearing arm garters????
chiasmus: possibly?
stlkrchck: i think he is! there are creases where arm garters would be in his suit
YUM
afrocurl: I didn't know that arm garters existed
stlkrchck: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_garter
i love that moira just happens to be wearing that
afrocurl: well, that's about normal for the 60s
maybe a little less
stlkrchck: true
afrocurl: I mean, poor January had to wear so much worse on Mad Men
stlkrchck: haven't seen it
chiasmus: yeah
stlkrchck: i apologize for my lingerie fail
afrocurl: I should go find some caps, but yes, she's in worse
like full corsets and griddles
stlkrchck: mm, love the velvet jacket
shudders
super hot, but imagine having to wear that?
oh rose byrne, you are so *stealthy*
chiasmus: stealthy right after the wall VERY OBVIOUSLY does things. but um. yes.
afrocurl: oh janos
please talk more!
stlkrchck: right?
afrocurl: I'm sure you aren't a mute
stlkrchck: how does emma not notice there's someone so close up?
afrocurl: I don't know, unless emma lets her stay there for their gains
which is creepy
chiasmus: yeah, that never really made much sense
stlkrchck: what's her partner's name here, btw?
chiasmus: Levine
stlkrchck: thankee
afrocurl: levine
stlkrchck: thank too!
chiasmus: CHARLES
stlkrchck: oh charles
afrocurl: Charles you are an excellent alcoholic
stlkrchck: the answer to everything in your life is "let's go have a drink," isn't it?
MMM
ERIK
I APPROVE
afrocurl: and erik you look goo din that polo
chiasmus: mountain that isn't there! (i think it isn't there)
afrocurl: arms!
stlkrchck: the glasses! the pecs!
chiasmus: woooo arms
afrocurl: /shallow moment
stlkrchck: well, where in argentina is this supposed to be?
(just blanked on that, sorry)
afrocurl: I don't know if it says specifically
or I'm sure it does and I never look
chiasmus: i can't remember off the top of my head but someone showed me a picture that looks exactly like the place except there's no mountain.
stlkrchck: oh god, his smile
so manic
chiasmus: yes
afrocurl: that's the most awkward of drinking games right htere
stlkrchck: haha, yes
chiasmus: oh Erik
stlkrchck: that little look from under his lashes was SO hot
i'm sorry, one day, i will have a non-shallow comment.
chiasmus: it really was hot
and hair push back
afrocurl: no, we can be shallow
stlkrchck: YES
afrocurl: and I'm looking for my creator!
stlkrchck: seriously, WHAT is his accent?
afrocurl: NO CLUE, BUT HOT!
chiasmus: CHARLES
stlkrchck: oh charles
chiasmus: YOUR FACE
YOU ARE SO DRUNK
stlkrchck: YES
afrocurl: I also love that that's the 60s version of a beer bong
stlkrchck: yes
i love that raven is the only girl there. very well done
(well, other than moira)
afrocurl: until amy and moira, yes, I love that
stop talking drunk!charles
stlkrchck: oh god, he thinks he's so suave
afrocurl: he does!
stlkrchck: and if you could shut him up, he'd look suave
afrocurl: EXACTLY!
chiasmus: yes
haha
that is why I love him
he THINKS he's doing SO WELL with his lines
afrocurl: Moira, a drunk Charles is not the worst thing in the world
stlkrchck: hahaha
afrocurl: oh so according to tumblr, anonymous just took down cbs.com and universal
chiasmus: so many pineapples
afrocurl: so much goodness right there
Shaw wants to cut footloose
kick off those sunday shoes.
stlkrchck: hahaha
chiasmus: hahaha
stlkrchck: i wonder if he does that for fun
afrocurl: I hope so
stlkrchck: i mean, i totally would if i were him
chiasmus: we can only assume that he does
afrocurl: I also wonders if he still likes getting slapped on the ass in briefs
chiasmus: CHARLES YOUR FACE
stlkrchck: typing pool
oh man, burn
afrocurl: that sweater!
stlkrchck: the jacket is hilarious
afrocurl: shut your face Stryker!
stlkrchck: hahaha, RAVEN
you are awesome
chiasmus: yay Raven!
and I have achieved chinese food
stlkrchck: mmm, platt's face
(i'm still waiting to achieve chinese food. i am so envious.)
"it's good, isn't it?" i love him
chiasmus: yes
afrocurl: my dinner later tonight is tuna cassarole
I'm pretty sure that parking garage is at a hotel nearly lax
I swear
goes back into her corner*
stlkrchck: hahaha, reallly?
wet erik
your argument is invalid
chiasmus: wet suit!
stlkrchck: AND THE PANTS
afrocurl: it looks like one I go to all the time, at the lax hilton/marriott
chiasmus: things
UGH STOP YOUR GERMAN
afrocurl: how did fassy manage to stay in that wetsuit and not expose himself?
or you know, show everyone how hung he is?
chiasmus: Oh fuck you Shaw.
stlkrchck: hahahaha
chiasmus: haha, yeah
afrocurl: YES ALL THE FUCKS TO SHAW!
chiasmus: CHARLES
YOUR INAPPROPRIATE PEACOAT
IN MIAMI
stlkrchck: YES
chiasmus: AND MOIRA'S
afrocurl: Poor form, really
stlkrchck: does emma not feel cold?
chiasmus: and then Janos is like, BOOM
stlkrchck: is it part of her diamond mutation?
afrocurl: but really, Charles is like those 80 year old snow birds who move to Florida for the winter
chiasmus: possibly? she doesn't really seem to much?
CHARLES
stlkrchck: "there's someone else out there!"
chiasmus: and Erik does his badass anchor thing
stlkrchck: oh god, charles' aroused!face is so inappropriate
afrocurl: and charles is like "OH I LIKE THIS ONE!"
chiasmus: oh Charles, you just like, home in on Erik and nothing else matters
afrocurl: Everything is Eirk and nothing hurts
stlkrchck: mm, emma, sexy and competent
CHARLES
afrocurl: or maybe everything is hurting at that point
stlkrchck: YES
chiasmus: either way EVERYTHING IS ERIK.
stlkrchck: YES THIS SCENE
chiasmus: OH CHARLES
CHARLES
UGH YOUR FACE. AND ERIK'S.
(i am glad I warned both of you before you agreed to watch this with me)
afrocurl: oh hello foreplay
chiasmus: oh yes
afrocurl: HANK!
stlkrchck: oh god erik's face
(seriously, afrocurl, the FOREPLAY)
afrocurl: I know!
stlkrchck: wait, you are so far ahead of me!
no hank yet
afrocurl: oh I was just seeing cerebro
it makes me think of hank
stlkrchck: charles you are so short
chiasmus: yes
hank!
afrocurl: Oh stlkrchck, call me afrocurl
it's easier
stlkrchck: YAY
Hi, afrocurl!
chiasmus: OH CHARLES
FAIL
afrocurl: Charles, do not out the other mutant!
stlkrchck: oh god, charles, you are the worst
chiasmus: your face then.
you are so excited
but you really shouldn't talk
stlkrchck: his look at his feet
awwww
charles is adorable
afrocurl: splendid
really charles?
stlkrchck: even erik is getting in on this
chiasmus: oh erik's face
stlkrchck: yes!
afrocurl: yeah, and erik's like, okay that's good
cool
stlkrchck: the HELMET
afrocurl: FUCK THE HELMET!
SAVE THE MUTANTS!
Emma, do not be turned on by Shaw's bad lines
you are so much better than that
stlkrchck: okay, can we talk for one second about people's attitudes about telepaths?
afrocurl: yes, let's!
stlkrchck: because, seriously, even shaw wants an anti-telepath helmet
chiasmus: of course!
afrocurl: they're big and scary
stlkrchck: i am so sad for charles
afrocurl: yeah, me too
chiasmus: yeah :(
stlkrchck: and i have such a kink for all the horrible no-one-loves-charles'-mutation stories
afrocurl: Raven, your ability is your appearance
chiasmus: (oh Hank, you are such an adorable awkward turtle.)
afrocurl: DO NOT ASK FOR HIM TO FIX YOU!
stlkrchck: ugh, god, i love the actress, but i really despite what they do to her character
chiasmus: yeah
afrocurl: yeah, they're fucking with her so much
Raven, could you be more sexual starved right now?
stlkrchck: it's so sad, and it makes me so unhappy
afrocurl: ERIK WORST COCKBLOCK EVER!
stlkrchck: HAHAHA
chiasmus: YES
stlkrchck: he's such a sexual predator here
chiasmus: haha
afrocurl: he wants to eat them all for sharky breakfast!
stlkrchck: (you can't tell me that wasn't a "come sleep with me, you underage girl" moment)
chiasmus: oh Charles
just loitering
afrocurl: no, I can't tell you that stlkrchck
stlkrchck: "i don't need your help" is possibly the worst accent he has in the entire movie
(sorry)
hahaha, thanks, afrocurl
afrocurl: Erik's not about being the better man, Charles. He's about self-preservation.
why is Charles going grey so soon?
it makes me sad.
stlkrchck: "my boyfriend came back!"
chiasmus: HIS FACE.
he looks so pleased
stlkrchck: is he going gray so soon? i missed that
OH WOW
yeah
WOW
afrocurl: it's so weird!
stlkrchck: mm, erik, you are SO smug
without moving a facial feature. i am impressed.
chiasmus: i have a lot of gray hairs? but um, yeah, it is pretty early to.
smut with his eyes
afrocurl: yes, eye sex is good times
chiasmus: SMUG
but UH
afrocurl: this entire scene is eye sex
chiasmus: smut works too
stlkrchck: MMMMM
the eyesex is so hot
and the little charles smile
and erik's concerned face!
afrocurl: where's all the fic with them actually fuckin' after this scene?
WHERE?
chiasmus: seriously there needs to be all of it
stlkrchck: last night at dinner someone said, "this is one of those pairings where you really can't convince me that the sex didn't happen immediately"
chiasmus: haha yeah
afrocurl: bb!mutants!
stlkrchck: oh god, charles, your orgasm face AGAIN
aww, yeah!
afrocurl: thanks Gnarls Barkley for this song
stlkrchck: her wings are amazing
oh god, this scene
afrocurl: yes, and that eye sex!
stlkrchck: seriously!
chiasmus: oh nonsensical cerebro coordinates
why did i bother lookign you up one time
afrocurl: take us all the way
UGH BOYS STOP FLIRTING!
stlkrchck: seriously
chiasmus: SO MUCH FLIRTING
stlkrchck: no, don't stop the flirting! it's awesome!
afrocurl: no, I don't want it to stop
chiasmus: aw Sean
stlkrchck: oh sean. you're so hilarious.
afrocurl: you're so bad at that Sean
chiasmus: you and Charles should bond over your hilariously bad attempts to pick up chicks.
stlkrchck: HAHAHA
afrocurl: LOL YES!
I LOVE THIS SCENE!
stlkrchck: logan cameo!
chiasmus: YES
afrocurl: please boys, go fuck now!
it'd make me so happy
stlkrchck: oh god, erik's little eyebrow raise of "don't mind if i do"
afrocurl: pretty much
stlkrchck: i seriously didn't follow any of this part of the plot.
alos, january jones' lingerie lines in her leather are distracting and seem like a bad costuming choice. yes?
THE CHESS
afrocurl: CHESS!
stlkrchck: oh god, charles, are you already balding?
chiasmus: CHESS
afrocurl: he really is, stlkrchck.
It's not fair
stlkrchck: wow, that shot of erik's crotch
i approve
afrocurl: any shot of erik's crotch isn't bad
chiasmus: haha
afrocurl: Edi you're adorable!
stlkrchck: seriously!
oh sean, bad choices
afrocurl: he needs a Sassy Gay Friend
stlkrchck: oh raven
afrocurl: Raven already loves her Hank
chiasmus: oh snap
afrocurl: oh look at that peer pressure
stlkrchck: hahaha
aww, i love them all peaking out like that
afrocurl: hula hoping for love!

part two

in which we have ~feelings, part two

2012-01-23T05:21:06Z

stlkrchck: how old are the "children"?
does erik think they're not old enough or not mature enough?
(not that they're proving him wrong or anything...)
oh erik
chiasmus: it might be not experienced enough?
afrocurl: I assume that they're all 16-20 maybe 21
chiasmus: yeah, that's what i assumed to re: age range, except raven maybe as older (if you want to believe she's 10 in the first scene?)
stlkrchck: does charles' telepathy thing work on dogs?
chiasmus: and darwin as kind of older
I seriously just love his face.
Thigh pat!
afrocurl: oh have you seen the deleted scene, stlkrchck? The dog nearly gives them up
stlkrchck: that makes sense. but seriously, raven is supposed to be, like, 2 years younger, right?
really? no, i haven't seen any of the deleted scenes
afrocurl: I assume that Raven's like 23 and maybe Darwin 24
fingerless gloves!
stlkrchck: YES
chiasmus: erik's hat! and moira's!
stlkrchck: and emma's!
chiasmus: yes!
stlkrchck: "that's good enough for me"
chiasmus: oh erik
stlkrchck: and you really, really thought he wouldn't try to destroy them on the beach?
afrocurl: erik doesn't need no stinkin' rules
stlkrchck: haha
afrocurl: I don't know how I feel abotu Emma's sex positiveness half the time
it works for her, but it's also weirdly off-putting
Charles won't leave his man!
chiasmus: oh charles
afrocurl: It must be love!
stlkrchck: charles!
afrocurl: LOVE LOVE!
stlkrchck: "i can't leave him!"
YES
yeah, i'm with you on emma
chiasmus: haha yeah
stlkrchck: why is erik's hair suddenly plastered to his forehead?
afrocurl: yeah, like Emma, you love sex, but it shouldn't be a power game that way
chiasmus: hair plastering = from when charles caught up with him?
stlkrchck: kinky
afrocurl: or from all the running and gun slinging
chiasmus: whichever
afrocurl: it's appealing
stlkrchck: yes
definintely
afrocurl: I want more sex after russia
chiasmus: erik's face
afrocurl: before they get to the cia again
chiasmus: yes
stlkrchck: mm, yeah
hate sex
(or rather, angry sex)
afrocurl: yeah, angry sex
so my question is: who tops?
stlkrchck: mmmmm
such a good question
aww, charles' face
afrocurl: ugh, so much timing fail on C and E's part.
chiasmus: i still maintain the theory that Emma was mad at Shaw and so she made his plan seem 1000% worse than it was, and then just chilled at the CIA while everyone else stopped him.
afrocurl: oooh i like that so much better.
chiasmus: because otherwise I am just like SO MANY FAIL HOLES IN THIS PLAN
afrocurl: I'm not getting an answer to my question?
chiasmus: FOOD & etc
afrocurl: no one has thoughts on who tops here
stlkrchck: (have you guys read the erik is an omega fic? in which charles politely tells the CIA-ers for picking on erik?)
the plan has many flaws, yes
afrocurl: I've read the Erik is a sub fic like that
but not omega!Erik
link?
stlkrchck: let me find it
afrocurl: danke!
chiasmus: I think for post-russia sex Erik? sort of? it depends on how the angry sex happens.
poor cerebro
afrocurl: yeah, it's abotu to die
I tend to think that Erik would top, but I know people see it both ways
Hank why aren't you more upset about Cerebro dying?
stlkrchck: because he can build it again?
i see erik as topping oto
*too
chiasmus: i kind of go both ways on topping
stlkrchck: i just don't think he'd ever want to give up control the way he thinks bottoming would mean
(until charles teaches him otherwise, maybe)
afrocurl: ooh I like that idea stlkrchck
chiasmus: yes, i'm not here to hurt you, it's just stab o'clock.
stlkrchck: Yay! I'm glad you agree afrocurl. Charles teaches Erik all about the healing power of sex. Or something. (BUT THEN THE BEACH HAPPENS AND OH MY GOD)
link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/234409
afrocurl: hold on...why does Shaw kill Darwin when he said that Emma shouldn't hurt Erik?
chiasmus: and i enjoy that theory, too
because he's a hypocritical asshat
stlkrchck: because he's sexually obsessed with erik
chiasmus: or that
stlkrchck: (IDK)
afrocurl: he is a megalomaniac, to be sure.
the sexually obsessed part sort of squicks me out there
oh shit...time for pain
stlkrchck: sorry
chiasmus: arghasldkjgasdkl;gjk l;a Darwin noooooooooo
stlkrchck: (it squicks me too. and i don't think it's necessary for the plot. but i do think that the line about pain and anger implies some really awful stuff)
OH NO!
oh darwin!
oh kevin bacon, go back to english please
afrocurl: No, no worries. I was talking to someone else saying that they thought Erik survived the camps a bit more because Shaw had a thing for him but didn't act on it) but that if we had girl!Erik, there's no way to avoid shaw assaulting her in the camps
stlkrchck: i completely agree with that
it's such a horrible thought, but yeah, i really think it would have been worse if he were a girl
afrocurl: yeah, it would have been
stlkrchck: aww, his sister
chiasmus: yes
afrocurl: oh Sean, you have balls
nice!
stlkrchck: how did he not know darwin was dead?
mom and daddy are fighting!
afrocurl: the flight time
chiasmus: parenting conference!
afrocurl: STOP IT MOM AND DAD!
stlkrchck: oh god, the accent
(sorry)
afrocurl: STAY TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS!
stlkrchck: YES
oh god, erik's face
chiasmus: yes
afrocurl: oh wait, you have somewhere to go, Hank.
chiasmus: CHARLES
stlkrchck: that is definitely an "i want to jump the shit out of you" face
chiasmus: hahah yes
stlkrchck: how much sex do they have immediately after that scene, too
afrocurl: there's some trip to a crappy motel for a quickie before they leave for NY
oh as much as they can before they have to drive
so there's sex after the boat in miami
more at the cia base after cerebro
in russia and then that
so that's four different occasions at lest
least
chiasmus: oh charles
and yes
so many times
afrocurl: (why did I just think that through)
stlkrchck: erik's little face at "it's ours"
chiasmus: since there's also the recruiting
stlkrchck: the scene that launched a thousand charles/raven/erik fics
afrocurl: oh yeah, but my favorite is still weight of water
all of my cries
stlkrchck: :(
you thought it through, row, because it's important that we fully understand how much sex there was. for artistic purposes.
*afrocurl. dunno why it went to row
THE GUN SCENE
chiasmus: UGH
THEIR FACES
afrocurl: GUN PORN!
stlkrchck: how hot does this make erik?
seriously
chiasmus: OH CHARLES
afrocurl: Also, why is there no more shotgunning in this movie?
Erik should be smoking at some point
chiasmus: ugh, his face
and yes
stlkrchck: of course charles steps closer
afrocurl: bunker!
stlkrchck: haha, yeah
charles, you are so hot in that sweater
(the bunker one)
chiasmus: oh charles, you just want everyone to reach their potential
stlkrchck: ok, i think hank is hot there
i don't usually
hank, stop talking
chiasmus: you know it's bad
when charles tells you to stop talking
afrocurl: trying to fly from the second floor isn't that smart, Charles
stlkrchck: haha, yeah
afrocurl: too short a distance
chiasmus: you are so short, charles
stlkrchck: okay, 1) what is erik doing all day?
2) why isn't he training raven?
mm, the pants of excellence
ok, i'm sorry, i just don't read their interaction there as at all sexual
(erik and raven's)
afrocurl: I don't either
chiasmus: yeah, neither do i
afrocurl: Erik must be waiting for Charles to help him
or something
maybe they just wait for sex all day
stlkrchck: you figured it out!
mm, the look at the end of the satellite scene
SUCH eyefucking
aww, charles' little smile
afrocurl: so Erik is sort of the kept man who has to amuse himself all day before he's paid in time by letting charles ride his cock all night.
chiasmus: yes
stlkrchck: YES
chiasmus: TOTALLY
afrocurl: THE LURVE!
stlkrchck: (did you read the fic where erik is a glorified dildo?)
awww
awwwww
oh charles
oh erik
afrocurl: NO!
chiasmus: awwwww
CHARLES
afrocurl: link please.
chiasmus: ERIK
afrocurl: the single manly tears
stlkrchck: awww
this scene
chiasmus: CHARLES
stlkrchck: when he says he didn't know he had the memory?
afrocurl: it makes my heart ache a little
I want sex after this scene. FUCK KENNEDY!
stlkrchck: erik is a dildo: http://archiveofourown.org/works/319285
me too!
chiasmus: yes!
all the sex.
afrocurl: oh I did read that one stlkrchck
stlkrchck: (oh god, you guys now know more about my weird kinky reading habits that you probably wanted to. sorry!)
chiasmus: and at least your using trigger safety, even if you are just rocking out with your glock out.
*you're
afrocurl: stlkrchck, you should see what I read
no worries
stlkrchck: haha, erik practices safe gun handling
afrocurl: okay, why is your room so fugly raven?
stlkrchck: oh god, the tartan
afrocurl: You should not have a room with that plaid
chiasmus: haha
afrocurl: (I swear she and Erik should switch rooms)
stlkrchck: ...do we see erik's room?
did i miss something?
OH RIGHT
when she's in his bed
sorry, brain fart
afrocurl: SHUT YOUR FACE HANK!
Your feet aren't that bad
stlkrchck: see, charles NEVER says this to her
this is my problem
he wants her not to get caught
and so not to go around blue
but he never says it's unattractive
chiasmus: yeah
afrocurl: and he says that he couldn't look at her sexually
there's a difference
stlkrchck: exactly!
afrocurl: oh did you see Gaiman talking about how he shouldn't look at tumblr tags for characters in his stories (thinking of C and E as the guys from Good Omens)
Shaw's a damn mutant, how do you both not know that!
stlkrchck: OH NO OH NO OH NO
chiasmus: (ugh, his face)
afrocurl: STOP IT HANK!
stlkrchck: hahaha, no, i didn't, but that's hilarious
chiasmus: :(
stlkrchck: oh hank
chiasmus: and haha I didn't see that either
stlkrchck: oh my god, you guys, i just want them all to be happy
afrocurl: well, he said he wasn't old enough to look at it
stlkrchck: WHY SO SAD MOVIE
afrocurl: which made me LAUGH
stlkrchck: I REQUIRE ALL THE ALCOHOL
chiasmus: haha
stlkrchck: hahah, oh neil gaiman, you are the worst
afrocurl: but equal parts amazing!
stlkrchck: true!
(have you read a study in emerald? BRILLIANT)
eww this scene
afrocurl: I haven't actually read much Gaiman
chiasmus: augh
(i love that one!)
stlkrchck: i want raven and erik to be friends while charles and erik live happily ever after
why are you doing this to me?
afrocurl: me too stlkrchck!
stlkrchck: (also, it's not okay to cheat on charles)
afrocurl: I think that was like the friendliest kiss
chiasmus: yeah
stlkrchck: oh my god, raven, naked!
ok, fine, i will go with your interpretations
afrocurl: then it's not cheating
purple!
stlkrchck: true
PURPLE
afrocurl: Erik needs to wear more purple!
stlkrchck: hahahaha
chiasmus: haha yes he should
afrocurl: NOT BULLET PROOF THOUGH CHARLES!
stlkrchck: OH NO
OH NO
charles continues to be the shortest ever
chiasmus: I hate how they emphasize bullets! Force! and then WHY EMPHASIZE IT
hahah
so many zippes
zippers
afrocurl: stupid foreshadowing
stlkrchck: :(
chiasmus: :/
afrocurl: now we just have to hope FCII doesn't kill us all.
chiasmus: oh i am sure it will.
afrocurl: and we'll all cry some really ugly tears
chiasmus: so can azazel sense telepathy?
or something?
stlkrchck: oh, i dunno
chiasmus: or is it just
afrocurl: I don't know
chiasmus: i want to foot your face
stlkrchck: oh charles, your ethics are some awesome
chiasmus: oh charles
afrocurl: ugh, Erik, your irish is showing
and by Erik I mean, Fassy.
stlkrchck: haha
afrocurl: SEAN I LOVE YOU!
chiasmus: YES
stlkrchck: ME TOO!
afrocurl: There is sonar around
chiasmus: I don't understand why Charles can't at least sense Angel? because he met her before at least.
stlkrchck: mm, charles hanging off of things
chiasmus: oh sean
afrocurl: just a different sort. Though I wonder how long he can stay underwater to breathe
stlkrchck: why doesn't he talk to him mind to mind?
afrocurl: maybe everyone else needed that peptalk too?
stlkrchck: (also, when did sean learn how to READ the results of his sonar?)
chiasmus: I didn't notice before that he called him Banshee there.
stlkrchck: huh.
mm, kevin bacon, i approve of your jacket.
chiasmus: (and noooo idea)
stlkrchck: erik's thighs of awesomeness
chiasmus: yes
stlkrchck: and charles' long, long hair
so much love
chiasmus: chaaaaaaaarles
your hair
stlkrchck: LOOK GUYS I JSUT WANT THEM TO WORK TOGETHER AND HAVE LOTS OF SEX AND BE HAPPY. LIKE THIS. OKAY?
afrocurl: oh look how far your lover has come, charles
ALL I WANT TOO!
chiasmus: AND YET YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO ATTACK THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIFTING A SUBMARINE OUT OF THE WATER LATER asdrg
afrocurl: (Just look at Actors for that shit)
JANOS YOUR LIFE CHOICES LOOK AT THEM!
chiasmus: AND YES THERE NEEDS TO BE ALL THE WORKING TOGETHER AND SEX.
stlkrchck: SERIOUSLY
chiasmus: oh erik, protecting Charles with your body
afrocurl: Blackbird: ;____;
stlkrchck: you guys, you guys, i don't know if i can handle this scene
afrocurl: we're here
stlkrchck: ooh, erik levitatie them down
afrocurl: holds everyone
chiasmus: yes. we are here and there can be all the fluffy fic after.
stlkrchck: nice touch that i kind of missed the first time
aww, thank you, afrocurl!
chiasmus: yeah, erik is very careful :(
OKAY, SO
he can read azazel's mind?
I don't understand
afrocurl: he can read it now
but not before
WHO KNOWS!
chiasmus: but why
afrocurl: There are logic fails all around
stlkrchck: what is this narrative continuity of which you speak?
chiasmus: Cuba: where logic goes to die.
stlkrchck: hahaha
afrocurl: and good men go to be crippled
;___;
stlkrchck: NO
STOP
:(
chiasmus: but seriously there are just so many things that don't make sense to me in cuba
afrocurl: SORRY stlkrchck!
chiasmus: and poor janos
stlkrchck: aww, charles' hair is curling now! so adorable
alos, the ass shot of erik
(clearly the answer is for me to distract myself with the superficial. sorry)
chiasmus: mm yes, ass shot.
stlkrchck: how does she know to aim for the chest thingy?
chiasmus: i thought it was just coincidental
and conveniently timed door opening
stlkrchck: ooh, that would make sense
chiasmus: i like that's how you foil telepathy: mirrors.
houses of mirrors would be so bad for charles.
afrocurl: oh lord yes!
stlkrchck: hahahaha
afrocurl: why Charles should never go into a mirrored funhouse at the carnival
NEVE!
NEVER even
chiasmus: ugh, Erik
stlkrchck: erik would win him all the toys, tho
chiasmus: good job Erik! keep getting tossed around!
stlkrchck: and the mutants fighting mutants :(
chiasmus: yeah :(
NO NOT TOGETHER
so did Charles tell Raven what Shaw was wearing? how does she know?
stlkrchck: no clue
let's go with that one
afrocurl: I think she just knows
she's good at that shit or something
stlkrchck: oh ERIK
your little FACE
chiasmus: yes
afrocurl: Erik DO NOT GIVE IN!
chiasmus: ARGH
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GO THIS WAY MOVIE. WHY DON'T YOU CHANGE BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO.
stlkrchck: I KNOW
afrocurl: WHY CAN'T WE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE THIS ENDING
stlkrchck: I KNOW
kevin bacon, you are so bad at holding still
afrocurl: into sunshine and lollipops
stlkrchck: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
chiasmus: I've also always wondered if Erik realizes how cognizant Charles is of what's happening in Shaw's mind.
afrocurl: SHUT IT ERIK!
YOU DO NOT!
chiasmus: ARGH
NO
stlkrchck: mmm, lindsay, me too!
also, wow, all the irish
afrocurl: PREPARE TO DIE
yeah, all the irsh
chiasmus: ugh
CHARLES
UGH
stlkrchck: CHARLES CHARLES
chiasmus: OH GOD
stlkrchck: oh no!
afrocurl: SO MUCH PAIN!
chiasmus: CHARLES
stlkrchck: seriously, does he know???
afrocurl: I don't think so
if he did, I don't think he'd have done it
chiasmus: well, 1) the pain. 2) charles can hear erik say erik agrees with all of shaw's things.
WHICH BOTHERS ME
on so many levels
stlkrchck: yes
why not take off the helmet right then?
also, why does he think that charles would use his power to stop him?
again with the telepathy is the loneliest mutation thing
afrocurl: and more of the irish
"WE DON'T WANT THE IRISH!"
stlkrchck: hahahhaa
GUYS THIS IS MY HEART BREAKING
chiasmus: my headcanon was he keeps it on because he doesn't want Charles to see the state of his mind at that moment, not necessarily because he thinks Charles would stop him forcefully
TARGETTING US, THE IRISH
afrocurl: thank you for getting my reference, stlkrchck.
stlkrchck: :)
chiasmus: oh charles
charles
stlkrchck: OH CHARLES
afrocurl: All his dreams of humanity are dying
chiasmus: UGH
afrocurl: and so are his dreams of erik
chiasmus: CHARLES YOUR FACE
afrocurl: BOO HISSS!
stlkrchck: I KNOW
i can't handle this
chiasmus: WE ARE HERE. YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
stlkrchck: WHY CAN'T THEY JUST LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
chiasmus: WHY CAN'T ANYONE FORM LOGICAL PLANS
stlkrchck: (wow, alex, pecs. i approve)
chiasmus: AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER
stlkrchck: YES
chiasmus: SO MANY FEELINGS
afrocurl: ORDERS, WRONG WORD CHALRES!
chiasmus: You should have just unzipped your thighs.
Instead of saying anything.
afrocurl: that would have been better
stlkrchck: SERIOUSLY
afrocurl: though Raven would have wondered about the sex in public
stlkrchck: hissy fight!
OH NO
OH NO THE PUNCH
chiasmus: OH GOD
stlkrchck: no, no, no, no!
DON'T DO IT MOIRA
OR ERIK
afrocurl: BOYS JUST FUCK TO WORK IT OUT
chiasmus: NOOOOOOOO
EVERYONE STOP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING
afrocurl: NO NEED TO FIGHT!
chiasmus: GODDAMMIT
afrocurl: STOP!!!
stlkrchck: OH MY GOD
CHARLES
CHARLES
CHARLES
chiasmus: NOT AGAIN
CHARLES
ERIK'S FACE
AND
afrocurl: ;___________________________;
chiasmus: CHARLES
OH GOD
WHY
WHYY
stlkrchck: NOOOOOOOO
i can't handle this
(also, why doesn't anyone stay to figure out if he's all right?????
chiasmus: :(
Oh charles
charles, charles
i can't even
afrocurl: I don't want the irish
TAKE OFF THE HELMET!
stlkrchck: me either
afrocurl: I want you to want the same thing
stlkrchck: ME TOO
why can't you want the same thing?
chiasmus: CHARLES XAVIER, YOUR FACE IS KILLING ME
stlkrchck: and what the fuck, erik, why are you going to leave after that?
WHY
afrocurl: PLEASE WANT THE SAME THING!!!
chiasmus: SERIOUSLY
WHY
JUST
afrocurl: Because Erik runs from bad shit?
chiasmus: STAY TOGETHER
stlkrchck: he's not even going to get azazel to take charles to a hospital?
ERIK THIS IS NOT HOW SPINE WOUNDS WORK
chiasmus: yeah, I know, right? :(
afrocurl: to your friend, THAT IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT THEM!
stlkrchck: removing the bullet didn't magically make things okay!
also, your'e a dick!
chiasmus: it's not very inspiring for protecting each other WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR INJURED "BROTHER" ON THE BEACH.
arhgasldg
stlkrchck: YES
EXACTLY
all the feelings, guys
afrocurl: ALL OF THAT LADIES!
chiasmus: YES
ALL OF THEM
afrocurl: (is someone posting this to their journal?)
stlkrchck: i can't handle this
hahahahahha
afrocurl: LET'S STAY TOGETHER!!!
I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU
chiasmus: I may? unless you want to? I'm not particular.
afrocurl: WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO DO, IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME!!!
Oh I would if you don't
stlkrchck: OH CHARLES. OH CHARLES.
chiasmus: aaaaand now the X-Men are team white dudes and Moira.
afrocurl: CHARLES!!!!
chiasmus: CHARLES
UGH
CHARLES
stlkrchck: they really always were, you know. this movie has all the fail regarding that
afrocurl: why is this pan out so fast?
stlkrchck: yeah, seriously
afrocurl: focus on charles a bit more, please!
chiasmus: okay, in preserving anonymity, did Charles like, erase all of the records of the Xavier's?
did he get rid of Alex's prison record?
the government had to know they got him out of prison right?
stlkrchck: this is so problematic
afrocurl: yeah, it is
unless there's the paper trail to be erased
which is possible
stlkrchck: huh
afrocurl: or maybe Alex just escaped and was never found
chiasmus: yeah, but
stlkrchck: (guys, charles' hair is already thinner. and whiter.)
chiasmus: they show them at the prison
talking to him
stlkrchck: (it's going so fast)
afrocurl: I know, it's not fair to Charles
chiasmus: and "what do the feds want" etc
oh Charles
argh
stlkrchck: oh god, this scene. i really hate it.
chiasmus: yeah
so do i
ohhhh fuck you CIA dude, you don't even know how to open a phone book and look under X
stlkrchck: there is OS much male privilege going on here
ooh, emma's skirt
afrocurl: yeah
stlkrchck: OH GOD ERIK
ARE YOU COLOR BLIND?
chiasmus: and erik's pimped out helmet
afrocurl: HE IS COLOR BLIND!
with the horns
chiasmus: I mean, he must be.
stlkrchck: i completely believe that. that is my head cannon.
chiasmus: He took time to spray paint that.
stlkrchck: oh my god, the horns
chiasmus: and glue things on.
stlkrchck: i love the ending credits
chiasmus: and make it shiny.
stlkrchck: hahahahha, spray painting!
chiasmus: i like how charles is listed 12 in 1944
and 24 in 19622
*1962
stlkrchck: hahahhaha, i never noticed that
way to count, writers
afrocurl: that math is wrong i know
chiasmus: yeah, for some reason his is the only one? like it says James McAvoy - Charles Xavier (24) when it does the list of credits.
stlkrchck: but erik is, what? 30?
or does it not say
chiasmus: (well, it also lists Raven 10, Charles 12 for the kids)
I don't think it said for Erik
we'll see in a second
yeah
none for erik
afrocurl: I think erik would be 30
or maybe 28
either one
chiasmus: yeah
stlkrchck: why does it say two ages for charles but "erik" and "young erik" for erik?
or are we just massively over thinking this summer blockbuster?
afrocurl: we can massively overthing
chiasmus: i guess i just don't see why charles needed specificity? unless they're implying he travelled through time for a few years?
afrocurl: overthink even
dammit fingers!
chiasmus: and somehow now Raven is 28
but Charles is 24 still
stlkrchck: she is?
chiasmus: if she's 10 in 1944
she would be
stlkrchck: oh, right
afrocurl: yeah and that's not true
UGH FAILURE!
we're all just too logical for this.
Or something
chiasmus: yeah; i mean, it could kind of make sense if she is? (since it is made explicit she ages at a slower rate)
but at the same time
it doesn't make sense at all
stlkrchck: nope!
can i change the subject for a second?
chiasmus: yes
stlkrchck: the problem is that i honest to god don't believe that there's a universe in which they really could be happy
part of why the movie makes me so sad
i mean, i adore fix-it fic
but i don't believe it
(sorry, sorry, so depressing, i know)
afrocurl: no, I get that stlkrchck
(also I need to fly away for a bit) I'm being sent out to get dinner
but carry on and I'll be here or something when I get back
chiasmus: yeah, I agree in terms of plausibility given what happens.
stlkrchck: alrighty!
chiasmus: it's wicked depressing, but yeah :(
and okay!
stlkrchck: when you return, we shall have to continue talking
I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS
chiasmus: ME TOO
stlkrchck: YAY
this is making me sad
clearly the answer is to have some happy-making
chiasmus: yes
this is why there is fic! completely happy AU fic!
with latin! or stuff!
stlkrchck: yes!
have some charles-is-insecure-and-erik-is-the-best-roommate-ever:
Charles shifts forward in the couch and projects an aura of smugness that Erik finds adorable. “I thought so.” He balances his coffee back in his lap and grabs his muffin. “Are you coming tonight?”

“To your birthday?” Erik asks, putting down his coffee too. “I thought it was a command performance.”

Charles picks at the muffin, then puts it down, wiping the crumbs of his hands. “You’re not required to go,” he says after a pause.

“Don’t be silly,” Erik tells him brusquely. “Of course I’m going.”

Charles beams at him.
chiasmus: awwwww
also, I wrote three lines of Charles and Erik go to Germany.
stlkrchck: makes grabby hands
chiasmus: even though I know that is like
forever away
“Stop fidgeting,” Erik says, exasperated, but there’s still undeniable fondness in his tone.

“I should have worn a different shirt,” Charles says. “Maybe a tie? I’m probably far too under-dressed—”

“Hey,” Erik says, and Charles stops talking, blinks at Erik. “You look perfect.”
stlkrchck: (sometimes it makes me sad how forever away it is. and then it makes me happy because there's so much awesome in between.)
AWWWWW
oh erik, you are the adorable-est
and charles!
chiasmus: (and yes, me too, but! so many things!)
and i am so happy with erik also being the best roommate ever
stlkrchck: (i just want them to be super happy forever and ever and travel to germany together and live in a house with a backyard and adopt all the mutant babies)
ALL THE BABIES
chiasmus: yes!
I WANT THAT TOO
WITH A LAWN
CHARLES CAN DESTROY
stlkrchck: YES
chiasmus: (except he can't)
stlkrchck: FOR DINOSAURS
chiasmus: (but he does)
AND ASTRONAUT-PIRATES
stlkrchck: YAY!
chiasmus: i also assume that means you are fine with me deciding wanda and pietro are who they adopt? they can adopt more kids if we want and just have like, the largest family.
stlkrchck: yes, yes
either one
they have BABIES
erik would be uber obsessive about filling out forms
and charles would be the aggressively cheerful one in interviews
chiasmus: yes
or Charles would just want to like, take the baby with them as soon as they saw the baby.
stlkrchck: that's not how it works, charles
chiasmus: and Erik is like, no, we have to do the paperwork, or we can't keep the baby.
stlkrchck: (oh my god, adoption moment. did you see the scene in sex & the city?)
(where charlotte sees the picture and says, "that is our baby"? ALL THE TEARS)
chiasmus: and Charles is just super excited and all "baby! :D :D *hearts in eyes *"
I have not actually seen any of sex & the city
stlkrchck: oooh. my friends and i used to watch it a lot.
bottom line: they've been trying to adopt for forever, and it's never worked out, and it's so heart wrenching, and then her husband comes in with a photograph of a little girl they're getting from china, and he says something like, "that's our little girl," and she starts crying and says, "that is our little girl," and basically i have never met a person who did not weep through the entire scene
chiasmus: awwwwwwww
stlkrchck: also, i may bother you at some point about the keg race, because i have no idea why it's spawned into this enormous thing and i think there's like eight stories happening here and NO PLOT, but have some keg race?
“Can’t we have a nice, normal lunch,” Charles asks, “and celebrate your victory before we start in on another competitive sport?”

“Drinking isn’t a sport,” Erik protests.

“It is the way you do it,” Hank says. When Erik glares at him, he doesn’t cower, but probably only because Charles is smiling at him encouragingly.
chiasmus: yay, keg race!
stlkrchck: (also, in my head, charles texts entirely in capitals and without punctuation. is that okay? or do you see him as the opposite: super anal about it?)
chiasmus: I see him as no caps (or random caps) and no punctuation?
unless you feel strongly about his caps.
stlkrchck: nope, i am okay with no caps
how about no caps ever?
chiasmus: that works :)
(i guess i think that since caps take effort to get to, meaning, i have to push one more button)
stlkrchck: Charles beams at him. “I’ll text you about it.”

“I’m not going to forget,” Erik says.

“Still.”

“Fine. But for the love of god, learn how to capitalize things. And start using punctuation.”

“Punctuation on phones is hard,” Charles whines, but he’s still smiling a little, ridiculously easy to please.
chiasmus: hahaha
I should write things
which should i work on?
stlkrchck: hmm. charles and raven? or thanksgiving?
chiasmus: I will have them both open and see what happens
stlkrchck: :)
works for me!
i might take a break and do some reading
i think i've maxed out for the day
though i'll be around here and in the fic to talk :) and would love to see what you come up with
chiasmus: okay! :D
stlkrchck: ok, important erik and charles sex question
for you and/or afrocurl, when she gets back
the sex soundtrack: who's noisy? were they always noisy? how loud? is anyone a shouter? is anyone a "repress the noise in a total hot way"-er?
chiasmus: I think Charles is probably noisy, possibly a shouter, and might try to repress the noise but totally fails every single time/gives up really easily most of the time with regard to trying. (I am assuming this is re: physical noise, not like, mind projecting?). Erik I see as a "repress the noise in a totally hot way"-er for the most part.
afrocurl: I am back!
I also think charles would be the noisy one
stlkrchck: HI!
afrocurl: He might try not to be loud, but it just happens (maybe for all the posturing charles doesn't actually sleep around too much)
chiasmus: Hello! welcome back.
stlkrchck: aww, charles!
i love that. because he's rubbish at picking up? or because he sort of doesn't take it all the way?
afrocurl: I just sort of imagine that he doesn't go all the way that often
so when he does, he's very animated about it
stlkrchck: hahaha
when erik comments on it, charles uses exactly that word
"i can't help that i'm animated, erik"
and erik's like, "did i ask you not to be? all i said is that i didn't think you'd be a screamer."
chiasmus: hahaha
afrocurl: yes!
it's just that he enjoys sex and doesn't give in very often
I weirdly imagine that Charles projects during sex which is why he's not that well-versed
stlkrchck: oh my god
i love that
and erik completely loves that. he makes charles lose control. it is stupidly hot to see him shaken out of his arrogance and unable even to control his power.
after the first time (on the ship? immediately after the ship?) charles has to retcon, like, everyone in the surrounding area. and erik is like, "i expected you to have a little more control than that, *professor*" and charles says tartly, "as you can imagine, it's rather awkward to suddenly begin projecting like that to an entire building full of people, including your sister." and erik says, "and?" and charles says, "i...don't do that very often." and erik says, predatorily, "*really*"
afrocurl: yes, stlkrchck that's it.
oh and that's hot
stlkrchck: (i have so many feelings about them having sex. i'm glad you guys are with me)
chiasmus: yes. yes to all of this. (I am also slightly distracted getting my Charles feelings all over twitter, uh, sorry. :D?)
afrocurl: I see you talking to Kait about your Charles feelings
I'm going to just keep some of my poor Erik feelings to myself
because that boy is FUCKED up
stlkrchck: i want to hear your erik feelings!
ALL OF THEM
:)
afrocurl: okay...
chiasmus: i want to hear them too!
afrocurl: so you know that Erik's been FOREVER ALONE!
and so Charles and the rest of the team is a shock to his system
chiasmus: I have a lot I just, I have a Charles problem. Except it's not a problem.
stlkrchck: it's really, really not a problem
afrocurl: and all the time, he wants to still be alone, except there's this guy who he wants to fuck that keeps him going day after day
which just confuse him most of the time
there's also something in my head about how much he wants to give back into Judiasm, but doesn't, because again FOREVER ALONE
stlkrchck: ugh, ERIK
i...what did he do after the camps?
chiasmus: erik :(
stlkrchck: did he get an education?
did he ever become friends with anyone?
did he ever stay anywhere more than a few days?
i know a lot of people who think erik was in mossad. any thoughts from you guys? even if he was, he was 12! what did he do for the years in between?
afrocurl: The Mossad thing is comics canon from what I know
stlkrchck: ooh
chiasmus: i always thought he ended up in the mossad later (like in the 50s?)
i don't really know about the intervening time until then
afrocurl: but I think he must have gotten some education (he speaks enough languages in the movie)
but how that came about, I don't really know
stlkrchck: okees
so i interrupted you. erik. and suddenly, BAM, people.
afrocurl: well, it's going ot have to wait
I have to eat
i'll be back
stlkrchck: :)

afrocurl: and now I'm back
stlkrchck: hi!
chiasmus: hello!
afrocurl: yeah, so Erik's not used to people so he's skittish, but still drawn to Charles
and that constantly confuses him
and no matter how much Charles tries to get Erik to warm to people it fails
stlkrchck: oh erik
afrocurl: which means a skittish Erik still doesn't like people
and then after the beach, that's why he can rationalize running
stlkrchck: but he's taking people with him
afrocurl: he's taking people that don't know him that
and that, having followed shaw around, will give him space
stlkrchck: oh erik
his life choices
he really, really needs a sassy gay best friend
afrocurl: and Raven, well, Raven's just there as the lesser of two evils between Erik and Charles
stlkrchck: this is making me so sad
i need really good fix-it fic recs. do you guys have any?
afrocurl: well, there's always Daycare
stlkrchck: i do love daycare, SO much. :)
afrocurl: oh did you see the holiday one?
oh, stlkrchck, did you see that Neko had a new chapter of Love's Own Crown today?
stlkrchck: yes! i haven't had a chance to read it yet though.
(also, can i fangirl all over you for a second? because the poetry that you write for it is SO incredible. i'm continually blown away by it.)
(i do fail out of WIPs pretty hard, so i probably won't read it until the entire thing is finished, which is what i did with the first one, just to let you know.)
afrocurl: aww, thank you!
well, Neko put up a number of chapters, so we have 5 chapters left after today's
stlkrchck: whoa! that's so exciting!
that universe is one of my absolute favorites, and i have so many feelings about them and about erik's poetry and about their relationship and also about the sex, oh my god
(seriously. there's me normally being invested in sex in the relationship, and then there's me invested in the sex there, which is a whole new level.)
afrocurl: No, I get that
Neko and I were discussing Erik today because all of his personal growth just confuses us both
we're like, "what is he thinking?"
and normally Neko's like that and I just go, "oh here"
but I couldn't even do that with 15
stlkrchck: i love the depiction of his personal growth, how it's all over the place
which is so true to live
*life
some things he can roll with, and others he can't
maybe i need to reread the first story
or maybe i need to read the big bang fic where charles was in the coma-type thing for a while, and erik had, like, 30K of personal growth
(oh my god, i fail at fandom.)
afrocurl: which fic is that? I might have it saved still since i only got through half the BBs but managed almost all the SM ones
stlkrchck: ooh
let me check
chiasmus: (i think i manage to fail the most, since i am like, really behind on reading fic.)
(so I am just going to like, stalk all the things that you two have mentioned at some point. um, yeah.)
stlkrchck: FOUND IT!
For I Mean to Conquer Troy: http://archiveofourown.org/works/289906
"Set one year post movie, Charles overloads himself in Cerebro, and his mind goes walkabout; wherever he is (and he’s around), it’s not in his body. Erik temporarily takes over the school in his absence, and finds that there’s little time for resentment or hatred when he’s busy organizing assigned reading for English lit, keeping the youngest children out of trouble, and trying to talk Raven into wearing clothing for the boys’ sake. Somewhere in between taking responsibility for the students and dreaming Charles’ dreams every night, he manages to remember that he’s something rather more than a weapon. In other words: A Love Story between two Gentlemen, told in Prose, Epistles, and Nonsense Rhymes."
afrocurl: Oh I have that one still to read
stlkrchck: Erik has personal growth! And gets waylaid by some Jewish old ladies. So you might like it :)
afrocurl: Oh, since we were talking alpha/omega dynamics earlier, have you read the one where Charles is a courtesan and Erik is the king of Genosha?
Oh I'm sure I will
I think it was next on my list of ones to tackle
stlkrchck: NO
I HAVE TO READ THAT
link?
afrocurl: give me a second
stlkrchck: :)
afrocurl: http://xmen-firstkink.livejournal.com/6437.html?thread=11853605#t11853605
there's political intrigue too
and I'm PS's poor sounding board
so I have ~secrets
stlkrchck: haha
but it's a WIP!
ok, i will bookmark this for reading when it's finished :)
(i can't read WIPs while they're being written, because i end up forgetting what happened and having to reread the whole thing ever time there's an update, and it's a mess. but i've bookmarked it and am super excited!)
