Headcannons about the mutant road trip bc I have thoughts

I just did a road trip and this was all I thought about while driving. free me.

-Erik meditated while driving, and it freaked Charles out how empty his mind was for a lot of it.

-When not meditating, Erik thinks about murder

-Charles CAN drive (technically... in a emergency) but after switching off maybe four times, Erik decided he would be driving the entire time. Charles was okay with this (he feels crushing guilt)

-Charles eats JUNK the whole time and doesn't know why he feels so bad

-Erik only eats very healthy AND kosher. He struggled a lot and survived on nuts, dried unseasoned beef jerky, raw veggies, and sometimes dried fruit as a treat.

-Again Charles is eating chocolate and cookies

-Charles made Erik stop at public libraries the whole time and would check out books, then drop them off at the next library. He is still in student mode because he just graduated and didn't know what to do with himself.

-When he got really bored, he started writing papers on the books for fun.

-Erik hated every single radio station so the car is silent.

-Eventually, Charles offered to read some of the books to him. This is when he finds out that Erik's education was interrupted by the war.

-Charles, recognizing how intelegent Erik is, spent a good portion of his time teaching and catching Erik up on the basics, before going into his niches.

-Erik enjoyed this immensely but tried to not let on (he did)

-Charles cannot stop humming, tapping, mumbling, etc. Erik is trying to not crash out.

-Erik drives pretty recklessly because he can control metal and they almost crash a couple times. They are going 120 MPH.

-Erik makes them leave at 4:30 AM, and Charles sleeps against the window for the first six hours of driving. Erik uses this time to think about things he doesn't want Charles to hear about.

-They blow out a tire (charles blames Erik's driving) and had to change it. Erik could intuit better but was unfamiliar, Charles was reading the manual. They had the biggest fight.

-Charles is trying to keep Erik from getting bored and resorts to pesky sibling behavior like he would with Raven. This does not go over well.

-Erik tried to teach Charles how to drive better and they almost die.

-Charles is in charge of the map, and several times they almost miss a turn, and Erik has to cut across two lanes of traffic insanely fast because Charles was absorbed in the books/his peskiness/his own brain.

The Lesson of You by vvividlyy (WIP - read both chapters today and omg I cant wait for more)

Erik's son needs a tutor. Erik definitely does not want to sleep with the tutor, because that would be inappropriate for a myriad of reasons (including, but not limited to: his life is kind of a mess). Even if the tutor asks really, really nicely.

Various Storms & Saints by hllfire

Charles Xavier is interned in a psychiatric hospital thanks to the voices he had heard ever since he was a child, believed to be a schizophrenic man. He knows well now that those voices aren't in his own head, that he can control those voices, even if it takes its toll on him when he does so, and he learned to call the hospital his home after years. Things change, however, when a new patient arrives who can block Charles out of his mind — the first in the telepath's life —, catching his attention immediately.

Can we always be this close forever and ever? by Mrs_Understood

Erik has gone so long without letting someone in, he was shocked to see that Charles wanted him for more than just the night // Or set during First Class Erik wakes up after hooking up with Charles filled with shame and stewing about how unlovable he is. Charles quickly corrects that and we get touch starved Erik and Charles being a darling

Shiny Things by vvividlyy (Part 2 of Paper Rings, made a whole post for that one bc it fucked me up - in the best way)

Erik can think of many, many things he'd rather do than go to another one of Raven's stupid parties. Charles obliges him, just a bit.

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/yg6T8dY by Mrs_Understood There are plenty of ways to harm children without touching them, and nauseatingly it seems he has done both. Erik, I trust you can take care of this?” “Happily.” Fucking excuse me- did you just ask your fucking top to go murder someone for you? What in the shitboggelers am I witnessing right now?” // Or Wade decides to take down the one and only Professor X once he realizes he runs Russel's old school. It ends however in a very distressing exchange between the Professor and Magneto who are both delivering justice in the ways they see fit. Apparently they also did not know what was happening in their school.

I wrote one

Characters that have never experienced affection before, or haven't experienced it in a long time, finally getting to experience it? Top tier.

Said character freezing up for a second, not really knowing how to respond, but not wanting it to stop? T o p t i e r.

Said character trying to clumsily return the affection in their own way, because this is Good and they don't want it to stop? T O P T I E R.

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/8C4G1pA by Mrs_Understood Erik Lehnsherr is a single father who tries to keep his relationship with Charles and his lovable but somewhat DIFFICULT children separate. It worked well, Charles respected Erik not want to introduce him to his children, never pushing the issue. Erik was protective and they were, from stories, not exactly easy. It stayed that way for many months.   Until Wanda's powers lead to a bit of a... housing dilemma... and Erik has to make a difficult call.   CHERIK WEEK Day 6, Parents Words: 5032, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English Series: Part 6 of Cherik week 2025, Part 41 of The Highs And Lows Of Cherik Fandoms: X-Men - All Media Types Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, No Archive Warnings Apply Categories: M/M Characters: Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr, Wanda Maximoff, Pietro Maximoff Relationships: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier Additional Tags: Erik Lehnsherr Loves Charles Xavier, Protective Erik Lehnsherr, Erik Lehnsherr is Not a Happy Bunny, Parent Erik Lehnsherr, Erik Lehnsherr Needs a Hug, Erik Lehnsherr Gets a Hug, Wanda Maximoff Needs a Hug, Charles Xavier has a Ph.D in Adorable, Charles Xavier Loves Erik Lehnsherr, Charles Xavier is a Sweetheart, Fluff, Fluff and Angst, Domestic Fluff, Kid Fic, Erik Logic Is The Best Logic read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/8C4G1pA

 OR lots of silly scenes and then some light angst at the end. Charles can fix anything with a dinosaur band-aid.
