x-men 97 is so fucking good??? i started watching it bc i have magneto/cherik brainworms but i truly love every single character in this. there isn’t a single character who doesn’t feel fleshed out and interesting. and i love love LOVE how much emphasis is put on relationships, and how they’re impacted by the superhero shenanigans—rogue and gambit, cyclops and jean grey, roberto and jubilee. when a superhero story is way more about the emotional impact of being a superhero and how that affects the people around them i eat it UP every time.

and also as a certified magneto lover i gotta say i love what theyre doing with his character so far. i think its beautiful to see his growth, and see a version of him that’s more of a good guy while still maintaining his beliefs. i think that’s realistic to what his politics really are once he can get past his own anger. he hasn’t let go of his need to protect his people from genocide, or backed down from the fact that violence is a justifiable form of resistance, which i think are two really important cornerstones of his character. but being able to maintain that while still working towards coexistence, and all because he wants to do right by charles??? its so beautiful to watch.

and also the animation style?? the vintage film grain they put over everything?? the crazy ass dream sequences in fire and flesh?? THE VIDEO GAME EPISODE??? holy shit. every frame is gorgeous. theres just so much creativity and love and artistry packed into every episode and i love it :)

Heeey so I've come to the sad realization that marvel has yet again made me simp over a character that is NEVER written for so, I was wondering if you would be willing to do a fluffy magneto fic.

Maybe where you are a new teacher a the school and had never me Erik and end up with a crush and he ends up finding out somehow. Idk sorry ik that was a long one.

I need something fluffy after these past episodes and Smut is fine with me but I'm not sure if your comfortable writing smut if not no big.

HEY! GET OUT OF MY WAY!

pairing: erik lehnsherrr (magneto) x reader warn: i love this type of fluff!!!!!!! a/n: my first req!! not proof read!!! horrible writing, rushed, you can tell i loved the sound of music trope.

so maybe you have a type.

older guys who have the humor of a rock.

...maybe just the older xenotype- but that's not important, totally not. the issue is that, you're crushin'. you're crushin' hard.

maybe it is the face, maybe it is the hair, but something about erik lehnsherr pulls you in, like a magnet, ironically.

you were the new teacher at the 'xavier's school for gifted youngsters, it was a pleasant experience, the students were nice (until their mutations were triggered, but that's not their fault), the ambient was too, and the pay? you could pay your rent, and more!

for you, the 'no crushing on coworkers' was bullshit, a harmless crush can't do that bad, as long as it's harmless.

so you continued with your lecture, 'history of mutation', very cool, you had even made a presentation, and then a kahoot, pretty cool right?

"so, the history of mutations can date back to many years, such as the sixth century-"

the door opened, all of the heads turned, and the person stepped in, you turned away from the board you were writing, your eyes searching for the person.

it was your fucking crush, it was fucking magneto.

your face drained of all color, and his electric freezing blue eyes stared back.

"uhh-"

"-..this is a senior class, correct?" he walked around the class, his eyes cutting contact from your's

"...y-yeah totally" he stopped near a decoration with 'mini prom!" painted on it with photos of the students as younger kids.

"then why are decorations everywhere?" he stared at it "this is not kindergarden."

damn. "well?"

"i-i thought it would be good to make this a nice atmosphere for the students."

"the world is not an nice atmosphere for mutants, is it?"

the class was dead silent, no one dared to breathe, even lightly.

"i want this off the wall before the end of the day." he made his way out.

"why?" you whispered

he stopped "because i said so, miss l/n. now rip it off"

oh, your mood had soured

"i'm sorry magneto, sir, but the decorations stay." you said those words with all of the backbone you have

"i'm the headmaster. it goes off."

"i'm the homeroom teacher, it stays."

you were a teeny tiny scared but for your students you'd fight him without your mutation. he glared, his piercing glare stayed on you

"i'm sorry mister magneto but in here, i give the best ambient for my students."

his stare became harder, and then he blinked, sighing and walking away "...i'd like to see you in my office, right now."

you gulped loudly, you're pretty sure he heard.

he began walking away, a beat passed until you realised he wanted you to follow him, you began walking alongside him.

the way there was silent, but your head was running, this is it, this is what you get for standing up for your students, shit.

he opened the door, and let you in, murmured a 'take a seat'

"...i am not fond of people disobeying my commands."

"i am aware, mister magneto."

"just call me sir, mister magneto is ticking me off"

"sorry, sir" you quickly said, most of the backbone you had you used it on standing up to him, and now you were getting fired.

"just answer me this." you nodded, you complied "you are aware that in this school you're just needed to teach them, and just make sure they understand how the world works, not pamper them, not make them decorations."

"but-"

"are you aware?"

"yes, but-"

"then why are you pampering them?"

ouch

"i'm going to move you, transfer you if you will"

"what?"

"roulette, the mutation to be able to randomize whatever power you have seen either physically or by any media."

you're screwed

"your mutation, am i right?"

"sir-"

"you're going to work with me to make them control their mutation."

"...what?"

"you and me, are going to train them."

"uhm.... who?"

he sighed loudly, he surely had a small fuse "your students."

great! teaching with magneto.

"...you sure sir?"

"i am sure."

breaking the news to your students was easy, making them behave so you don't look like a doof, was hard.

many classes had passed with mag- mister lehnsherr (he had told you to stop calling him 'magneto'), each day was hard but sometimes you picked at his stony personality, hoping that he would notice, sometimes you swear you saw him crack a small grin when you made a joke or had integration activities for your class, and your tiny crush had maybe turned into a bigger crush.

"teach'?"

"hm?" the voice of one of your students pulled you out of your meditation spot "what is it?"

"are you okay? you've been in this spot for the whole break."

"oh here? this is a great spot to think." it was a tree behind the mansion, in a secluded corner.

"mister magento is looking for you." they sat next to you beneath the tree

"why?" they shrugged

"maybe's cause he likes you" your head snapped to their direction

"...don't be silly" you tried to look away "he doesn't"

"really? 'cause i always hear his heart beating faster, when you do something or appear." their mutation was enhanced hearing, you blushed

"oh, stop lying." you snorted

"he does!" they jabbed you with their fingers to tease you "and you like him back!"

"shut up!" you laughed

"you do! you do!" they chuckled, suddenly they remained quiet and a smirk slowly was painted in their face "i'll leave you both alone" they walked away

"wha?-"

"miss l/n?"

oh shit.

"do you like me?" you turned your head slowly to face him.

"mister lehnsherr!-"

"please, call me erik." he chuckled, maybe the first time you saw his face in a smirk that isn't evil. "and how about a coffee to discuss about your teaching methods?"

summary: a night out with charles and xavier reels in fun on the dance floor- fluff :)

a/n: first xmen fic, hope u all enjoy! besides the reader being telepathic i left the mutation up to the readers interpretation and i hope it worked out better this way!

It had been a miracle that you were still willing to go out tonight, Charles, Erik, and you had been on the road for the past couple of weeks in hope of recruiting mutants as part of Division X. You had been selected onto this assignment because your unique mutation and skill set had been proved essential in hopes of expanding your developing taskforce. Upon meeting Charles and Erik you were all worry and reservation but that quickly melted the more time you spent with them. You'd come to learn of each others abilities and past- the good and the bad. The three of you learning to open up to each other in a way that neither had done before with anyone else.

What you'd come to learn is that Erik, had a mysterious and cold demeanor about him that made learning about him even more exciting. As he walked through the world with a cold air, it only made interactions with him even more intimate. Despite attempting to be discreet, you always noticed his protective and cautious ways. Whether it be through placing a gentle hand on the small of your back, following behind you closely, or placing a hand on your thigh- he always made it known that he was nearby and cared for your wellbeing. As for Charles, well he was no stranger to mischief- with his extroverted personality he could easily place yourselves at the center of attention.

Much like tonight, he had pulled you onto the dancefloor and you found yourself unable to contain your laughter and Charles had you raised into the air on his shoulders. The two of you in the middle of a crowded circle where you were currently going at one more round of a drinking game you and Charles had been playing with the other men at the bar that night.

"Alright, alright, last one boys!" You yelled before tilting the beer bong back and emptying the ale inside in one go.

As you wiped the back of your mouth, you yelled in victory before the rest of the bar erupted in cheerful chants and chaos.

Charles placed you back onto the ground and you had to hold onto his shoulder as your balance wasn't exactly the best. The two of you were laughing over the whole ordeal as you found your way back to the booth where Erik had been seated, observing the night's antics from across the bar.

"Erik!" you giggle excitedly as you slid right beside him with Charles sandwiching you in the middle.

"Quite the performance you put back there." He gave an amused smile as he swirled the glass of whiskey he had been nursing all night.

"Wasn't she amazing, darling?" Charles asked with a raise of his eyebrows, earning an elbow from you.

"Ow!" He let out exaggeratingly. You flashed him a playful smile before directing your attention back to Erik.

"Another drink?"

"Absolutely not!" Charles butted in.

"I don't remember asking you, Xavier."

"Erik?" Charles looks over at him hoping for a little back up.

"Oh come on Charles, you're always telling us to let loose." Charles opens his mouth in shock and slight betrayal as he lets out a sigh in defeat.

"What's one more round?"

"You'll be my death, y/n" Charles smooths a hand over his face before sliding out from beside me as he gets up from the booth.

"And i'd give a great eulogy at the funeral!"

“Last one, and I mean it.” He gives a sternly glare as he points a cautious finger at me.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” Shooing Charles off, I giggle at how he stumbles his way back to the bar. Erik captures my attention again as he places an arm around me and presses me further. Turning to the man who's body remained pressed against your own, you sigh in content from the warmth that radiated from him.

“Erik?” Slurring slightly you look at him through your lashes and Erik feels a twist in his stomach.

“Yes, love?” 

“How come you won’t dance with me? I find dancing to be very agreeable.” You lean in closer, possibly the closest you and Erik have ever been- faces only inches apart from each other.

“Too many people around. I would rather share my affections privately.” His warm breath fans over your face, eyes darting between your eyes and your lips. He pulls back to take a sip of whiskey from his glass.

“Not a showoff are you, Lehnsherr?” Giving a sly smirk, Erik notes the playful look in your eyes and from his smile you know that it’s working.

“I have no desire to prove myself to the world, I rather only have to prove myself to the person I love.” 

“Order up!” Charles interrupts rather loudly, not allowing you to think any further about Erik’s statement. After clinking the three glasses together, we all down the shots in one go.

“C’mon darling, there’s no way I’m going on that dance floor all by myself.” 

Charles reached for your hand as he pulls you onto your feet and drags you back onto the dance floor. Every so often your gaze would wander back to Erik to find his watchful gaze already on you. Even now you feel him stare down at you as he carries you in his arms down the hotel hallway. 

“Here we are!” Charles booms as he comes face to face with our hotel room door.

“Charles, stop shouting.” 

“Forgive me, mustn't wake up our darling right Erik?”

“Shut up, Charles.” 

A smile creeps up onto your face as you can practically hear the smirk plastered on Charles. Making our way inside the room, Charles (after several failed attempts) unlocks the door of the joint suite that leads to your room. Peeling back the comforter, Charles prepares the bed as Erik placed you softly onto it and you shiver from the exposure to cold air. Pulling the sheets to your chin you can’t help but still feel cold and exposed in the large bed.

“Wait!” You call out to the two men who stood in the doorway. 

“Stay.”

“y/n I-” Erik begins. 

“Both of you. Please?” Your voice comes out slurred, the drinks from the night making your tongue feel heavy and words seemingly impossible to put together.

Sharing a look with each other, neither of them contemplate their options for too long before Charles carelessly shrugs his shoulders and gracelessly flops onto the mattress. Giggling at how he face planted, Erik moves to pull Charles’ shoes off and properly tuck him underneath the covers. Erik then slides in next to you, looking up at the ceiling as he laid on his back. You stare at him for quite a while before your mouth opens and speaks on its own accord.

“Erik?” You call out softly, voice well below a whisper.

“Yes my love?”

“Will you hold me?” As he turns his head, he feels his guard fall and reserve slip away as he loses himself within the softness of your gaze. Your vulnerability, ability to trust him, and well you- being his soft spot.

“Come here.”

With that invitation, you move in closer to lay your head upon his chest as he wraps his arms around you. One arms snaked around your waist and the other around your head. As he brushes the hair out of your face, he places a tender kiss on the crown of my head. 

“What’s going on over there?” Charles slurs he curiously quips his head up.

“Just need to be held for a while is all.” You hummed contently.

“Without me?” 

“Well get in and shut up.” Erik sighed in feigned annoyance.

“Roger that.” Charles sarcastically remarked before scooting over to join in on the cuddling. As you laid there caged between the two men, limbs intertwined in a beautiful mess, you felt safe for the first time in a long, long time.

“Can we stay like this forever?” Your voice ringing out telepathically in the two mutants mind.

“Yes, we can. ” Charles softly echoes back in your mind as he plants a kiss on your shoulder.

So I do want to correct one thing about Wanda; which is as of ~10 years ago, it was revealed she was never Jewish.

A lot of people, like the author of the article linked, claim that because her father is Erik Lehnsher, a Jewish man, that means both Wanda and Pietro are ethnically Jewish.

However, as of 2014-2015 in the Axis crossover event, Marvel severely retconned Wanda & Pietro's backstories and revealed that Erik and his wife, Magda, are not their parents; nor are they actually mutants.

So neither of them are ethnically Jewish, which isn't the first time it's happened as originally, Magneto was written to be Sinti and that was later retconned to him being Ashkenazi Jewish in 2008. (While hinted, it was never explicitly stated that he was Jewish until after the first X-Men movie came out. And prior to that film, the comic storyline had written him as Sinti.)

Nor have Wanda or Pietro ever been shown to believe in the faith or practice; with Wanda having expressed disinterest in it previously to the Axis event.

too much so it's under a 'readmore'

So, this is the thing: Marvel can change their mind again. Yes, Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto) was Ashkenazi Jewish - then he was depicted as Sinti - then he was Ashkenazi Jewish AGAIN. This was because they were afraid to be perceived as anti-semitic for having someone of Jewish ethnicity to be depicted as a villain. To me, that was not the original storyline, it was added due to fear of audience perception - hence why he is (yet again) seen as Jewish now.

You have to also look at the fact of the matter that Magda and Magneto were believed to be their parents for over 36 years.

Also, Magneto was only retconned to be NOT the father (as well as Wanda and Pietro being retconned as being NOT mutants) due to Marvel Comics trying to separate the properties of X-Men that were owned by FOX form the MCU-owned properties. This means that it wasn't due to the natural layout or progression of the stories of the Maximoffs, but because of business aspects. Basically, if it weren't for FOX - Magneto would still be seen as the father. This also leaves an issue of if FOX backs away from Magneto, is Marvel just going to retcon (well, undo their retcon) and have Magneto be their father again? It's quite possible. And that's the issue.

I feel it is problematic to believe they cannot be viewed as Ashkenazi Jewish because it hasn't been shown that they believe in the faith or practice - that's erasing their background - and as stated before, Ashkenazi Jewish is seen as an ethnic background which stems beyond just religion. I can also sit here and list off actresses, actors, other characters who are ethnically Jewish but we aren't aware of their practicing beliefs. It doesn't change their biological families' stories and struggles, and what is in their blood. (within those 36 years)

Now, back to their ethnicity - they are being depicted as full Romani (for the time being) due to their bio mother being Natalya Maximoff. Their biological father hasn't been revealed, as far as I am aware? But, who actually knows this information, other than people who read the comics? In all honesty, the admins who research are going to just see that Magda and Magneto are the bio parents because that's been the norm of the comics for 36 years. Players can also be playing Wanda at a point in her timeline where she knows Magneto is her father. Another issue is HOW are Wanda and Pietro to be played in the rpc community? You can't sit there and white wash them, but is it really okay to sit there and ignore the possibility of Magneto being their biological father yet again? Cause that’s a pretty high possibility, considering it’s Marvel.

Man watching Shaw’s death scene is hard to watch because you know Charles felt Shaw’s painfully slow death at Erik’s hands and Charles had no choice but to keep Shaw still else Shaw would’ve most likely blow up whatever nuclear energy he absorbed thus kick starting WW3 and killing a while bunch of people.

So Charles had no choice in the matter but to feel that horrible pain of Shaw’s death by Erik’s hands. It was no wonder he was so angry at Erik, even if you can understand why Erik did what he did, he was careless about his friend’s pain in pursuit of his own mission for revenge.

And then later on in the movie when Erik accidently cripples Charles.

Yeah Charles got the right to be very angry. Charles may have not done anything when Erik was in jail (keep in mind Charles believed at the time that Erik was responsible for the President’s death and considering Erik’s actions in the beach and his agreement to Shaw’s ideology about Mutants and Humans can you really blame Charles in thinking this), but Erik not only made Charles experience the dreadful pain of someone experiencing a slow death (which no doubt would bring about a great deal of trauma.. though tbh Charles’ powers seem to be pretty painful when you think about the fact that the man can read anybody’s mind and so that’s like a bazilion voices in your head. You can go crazy from that. There’s also feelings involved too) but he crippled Charles which I think would break anybody. 

I think this is why Erik was shocked that Charles was rescuing him because he didn’t see why Charles would. He pretty much messed up hard with Charles.

Hence the Cuba break-up. Erik really seemed regretful about it actually.

His attempt at making amends by offering a chess game while refusing to apologize for what happened in the beach in the plane scene in Days of Future Past was adorable though

He’s a horrible boyfriend but you know he cares xD

idk why I’m writing this as if they’re going out... they genuinely at times do seem like boyfriend to me lol

[you-see-something-strange-here]

The dynamic in days of future past is so funny to me bc logan is just Tired trying to save his world and he’s working with Xavier who absolutely REFUSES to even talk to his terrorist ex boyfriend. Hank just wants to get his blue semi-girlfriend back and Peter is just bouncing off the walls acting like an asshole majority of the time. King shit. Should’ve had more time with this group
