Charles and Erik: making everybody around them uncomfortable since 1962

[mutant-riot]

I made some pride bats, enjoy! 🦇🏳️‍🌈

[mutant-riot]

Since today is Father’s Day, I wanted to help the kiddos say happy dad’s day to the one and only Erik Lehnsherr! :D

(Please excuse my awkward art style)

[mutant-riot]

Charles: Hey, Erik. Could you do something for me?

Erik: I would literally cover up a murder you committed, plant my own DNA at the crime scene, and take the blame for it if you asked me to.

Charles: Great. Can you do the dishes?

Erik: Fuck you and your dishes.

Incorrect Cherik Quotes Part 2/?

Not at all original but still a lot of fun to make.

When you're writing and you suddenly realize you don't know what happens next

[mutant-riot]

Okay, story time -

Tl;dr: Watched Dark Phoenix and I’m upset about how Charles was treated and portrayed. But very happy for Cherik content at the end.

WARNING: CONTAINS DP SPOILERS!!!

I know I’m really late to the game, but I watched Dark Phoenix last night, and I am shooketh. Was anyone else like WTAF at the ending? I haven’t read the comics, does Charles retire and does the school get renamed? Because to me, that’s some hardcore bullshit right there. Guess Hank and friends got tired of our favorite telepath, but I’m sure they’ll continue to take his money, right? Use all his resources while ousting him? Hmmm... 🙃 Suspicious.

It makes me really upset because I like Hank and Raven a lot, and it hurts me that they’d turn on Charles so easily. Again, I don’t know what the comic universe has to say in all this, but it was pretty lousy for everyone to jump on the “Let’s hate and blame Charles” train for just doing what any father would have done. He was PROTECTING JEAN. Was it wrong to change her memories? Maybe, but it’s what he thought was right, and it’s unfair to automatically assume that he was malevolent or had controlling intentions. That’s just not who Professor X is. Anyone close to him would know that.

Oh! And how could I forget the way Raven dug at Charles for not going on missions or risking himself?! Like....ma’am?! He’s a paraplegic and he can use his powers across a much greater distance than the rest of you. It was so unnecessary, though I know it was probably partially a plot choice to create tension between the two of them before Raven’s death. But still. Look at everything Charles has done for the X-Men and the gifted youngsters. He’s not perfect by any means, but this wasn’t the way to highlight that.

I love Charles Xavier so much, and I know he isn’t perfect and that a lot of the choices in the movie were probably cinematographic, but it still made me really upset (upset enough to bore you guys with this rant). The only really redeeming piece of the movie was the ending with Erik. I’m excited to write some fan fiction :’)

I love this fandom so much 💜 All the best, friends, thanks for bearing with me!

Inspired X-Men Movies- Part 4

[mutant-riot]

Check out this amazing author’s work! Go Eric go! 👏

So this is my little collection of short stories and flash fiction that I’ve been working on for a while. I am going to be finishing up my other original story for purchase, but please enjoy these, I did spend quite a bit of time picking and choosing which ones I thought were best.

There are six stories in here, most of which cross genres, but there is one slice-of-life domestic fluff that I thought would be nice to have in there. The other five have more of a gothic, horror feel. I would love some feedback on the description, and if you have two dollars to spare and a Kindle account (they’re free and cross-platform, sly devils), I’d be grateful if you could leave a review as well!!!

They are all very fast reads, but I put a lot of time and effort into making them good fast reads. I hope you enjoy them!

Edit: Also, I will be posting this collection on Smashwords, an ebook retailer that publishes multiple formats and will work across multiple devices! I just need to make a cover and reformat the original document!

Everything For You

This one is for you @pinkoptics.  You sent in my first prompt: picking fuzz off their clothing From a list of ordinary things that become intimate when you love someone and this is what happened ;).  I hope you enjoy it!

Everything For You

“Stand still.”

Erik gritted his teeth and picked a spot on the wall to stare at as Charles examined him from shoulders to ankles, brushing off lint and picking off extraneous pieces of… well something… as he went.

“How long has this thing been stuffed into the back of your closet?”  Charles asked.

“Um… a while?” Erik answered lamely.

Probably more than a while really.  He might have pulled this suit out for his sister’s graduation, but that had been years ago, before he’d even moved into Charles’ place.

“You should have told me about your show sooner.  I would have sent this to get cleaned.”

“When exactly would you have had time to do that?”  Erik queried.

Charles had to be the busiest person he had ever met.  Teaching classes at Columbia, spending absurd hours at the lab doing research, staying until the janitors kicked him out of his office typing up journal articles, and still accompanying Erik every weekend to the Mutant Youth Center to volunteer, teaching teenagers everything from chess to how to control their mutations.

“I have my ways.” Charles replied, brow arched.

“There’s no way I would have bothered you with cleaning the suit, but I should have told you about the show earlier.  You are coming, right?”

“Of course I’m coming.  I am annoyed that my roommate and best friend didn’t tell me about the biggest show of his professional career until, oh, four hours ago – but there is no way I’m missing your triumph.”

Looking down at Charles, picking bits of fluff off his old dusty suit, doing his best to make Erik as presentable as possible, Erik felt his heart lurch in his chest.  He couldn’t quite figure out why he hadn’t told Charles about the show until today, scant hours before he had to leave to meet with the gallery director and make sure everything was perfectly set up for the show tonight.  Charles was, however unbelievable it may be, his best friend and biggest supporter.  By all rights, they should never even have met.

Erik, a thirty year old ex-mechanic who’d quit his job to start a new career as an artist and Charles, twenty six year old academic genius and one of the youngest professors to ever be employed at Columbia. Two opposites living together because of a combination of luck and misfortune.

The luck had been Erik’s.  Finding a posting on Craigslist for an ‘Artist’s Apartment’ listed with a very reasonable monthly rent, Erik had jumped at the chance to see the place. He’d arrived to find what had to be the most perfect space for an artist – huge open living area, giant windows, concrete flooring, brick walls, 16 foot high ceilings.  He’d also met Charles, in all his khaki pants and cardigan wearing academic glory.  Charles had happily prattled on about how his sister was an artist and had been using the apartment, and how she’d kept everything open to make it accessible for him, but now she was in Paris with no plans to return to New York for at least a year.

That had been over two years ago.

The misfortune had been Charles’.  He’d been in charge of renting out Raven’s apartment and had been happy to lease it to Erik.  He’d been the perfect absentee landlord; never bothering Erik, always on top of sending a repairman when needed, never unexpectedly increasing Erik’s rent like some of the shady characters Erik’s had dealt in the past.  Then, six months into his lease, Charles had shown up on Erik’s doorstep one night, soaked to the bone and dragging one sad looking suitcase and a backpack.  It was one of the most pathetic sights Erik had ever encountered.

After ushering Charles in, giving him time to change into dry clothes and making him a hot cup of cocoa, Erik had found himself on his couch with Charles, who had explained, cheeks flushed, and voice apologetic, his current unfortunate circumstances.

Apparently, Charles was rich.  Erik did not find this piece of information particularly surprising.  Charles looked rich, he talked like he was rich and he dressed like he was rich.  Charles’ wealth was a given.  That he had horrible relatives who had kicked him out of his home and were suing him for all was worth, which had left him with all his assets frozen and no where to live was more of a shock.  Charles owned Erik’s apartment – outright.  He’d bought it for his sister five years ago and it was currently his only option for living accommodations (Charles’ words, not Erik’s).

Erik couldn’t have kicked the man out if he tried.  Charles looked like a puppy, a small blue eyed puppy, who’d been kicked out into the street and left to fend for himself and had no idea what to do with himself.  Erik might not have been the most friendly, easy going guy, but his mother hadn’t raised him to be a jerk.  He’d told Charles in no uncertain terms that he was more than welcome to stay as long as he needed to and had then gone to clear out the spare room (which had until that moment been full of sculpting tools and materials). Charles had thanked him profusely, sworn up and down he wouldn’t be a bother and then passed out on the bed within minutes.
