Cherik x Good Omens AU

Angel!Charles Xavier/Demon!Erik Lehnsherr

Word count: 1610

Warnings: Angst, Fluff (if you squint), Religious elements/imagery (Good Omens style, duh), Forbidden romance

After several million years in Charles' company, Erik thought he knew the angel's moods like the back of his hand. However, that couldn't have been further from the truth. As Charles strode up and down the bookshop with an unreadable expression—and responded to Erik's questioning with nonsensical monosyllabic answers—the demon was left perplexed.

Less than a moment ago, they had been engaging in amiable conversation near the fireplace, which was gradually becoming less out of character for the two men. Yet, Charles' demeanour had flipped like a switch and he hadn't uttered a coherent word since.

"Charles, your tea is getting cold," Erik said in a poor attempt to coax the angel back to his side. Of course, Charles didn't spare him a glance. He was offended for only a moment before reminding himself that he hadn't done anything wrong and that Charles was the one behaving peculiarly. With a flick of his wrist, the tea steamed in the mug once again.

Erik watched Charles' erratic movements, only growing more bewildered each time the angel passed by with another stack of books. There was no rhyme or reason to anything Charles was doing; he moved piles of books from one spot to another, and then back again, all whilst muttering incoherently under his breath.

When Charles tried to move a bookshelf using brute strength—unsuccessfully—Erik had to step in. "Stop that. What on earth are you doing?" Erik planted himself between a red-faced Charles and the bookshelf. For the first time in almost an hour, Charles finally looked up at Erik. A huff escaped his pouted lips, and his blue eyes filled with determination.

"If you'd excuse me," Charles said, trying to budge past Erik to resume his secret agenda. Erik planted his feet firmly on the ground, a solid force against the interminable stubbornness of Charles Xavier. Exasperated, and unwilling to fight a losing battle on this occasion, Charles resigned himself to the armchair beside the fireplace, crossing his arms firmly against his chest. "I'll do that later."

"Do what, Charles?" Erik raked his hands through his hair. For reasons he couldn't quite discern, not knowing exactly what went on inside Charles' head unsettled him. Reading people—especially Erik—was always Charles's strong suit. Much to Erik's dismay, it rarely worked the other way around. "You're making no sense."

"To you, maybe," Charles scowled from his spot on the armchair. As far as Erik knew, he was an innocent man—though not really, but in the current situation, he certainly believed it—and Charles' attitude toward him was unwarranted. If Erik hadn't been offended before, he certainly was now.

"Charles," Erik's tone held a promise of dispute. Charles' name had never been uttered from Erik's lips so harshly, and it appeared to rattle him. He sat up straighter, and his hands fell into his lap. The demon approached him in long strides, planting his palms on either arm of Charles' armchair, trapping the angel in place. "If you don't tell me what I've done, I can't fix it. Can I?"

"I suppose not," Charles said at a hushed volume, preferring to keep his eyes trained on Erik's chest rather than his face. He bit down on his lip, continuing to shy away from eye contact. An inkling of hurt bloomed in Erik's heart. Opting to worry about the implications later, he hooked his thumb and index fingers under Charles's chin and turned his face up to meet Erik's softened gaze.

"Tell me what I've done, liebling." The term of endearment rolled off Erik's tongue before he could stop it—not that he would have. Charles sighed, his blue eyes finally meeting Erik's. The angel couldn't resist these moments of softness from the demon, no matter how fleeting. Charles' freckled cheeks grew redder, but Erik dismissed it as the heat from the hearth.

"When we were talking just now," Charles began, his eyes gleaming in the firelight. He'd been so shy to make eye contact a minute ago, but now his gaze was impenetrable. "Or a while ago—my fault—the way you spoke so passionately. I just..." Charles' voice trailed off, and he bit into his bottom lip.

Erik, overflowing with burning anticipation, urged him to continue. "Did I upset you? Was it something I said?" His overt impatience came across more intensely than he'd intended. Charles leaned back in his seat, creating distance as Erik's fingers dropped from his jaw.

"Not at all. Quite the opposite, in fact," Charles laughed. It was a short and intrusive sound, but innocuous. Erik knew Charles wasn't laughing at him, per se. Even so, Charles didn't elaborate. The burgeoning expectation was driving Erik mad, and it must have shown on his face. "You captivated me."

Erik felt the tension ease in his shoulders, and he released his bated breath. "In that case, I can't possibly fathom why you've been pacing around the bookshop and avoiding me for the last half hour." The more Charles tried to answer Erik's questions, the more arose in their place.

"I was afraid of what it might mean," Charles said. Erik silently cursed Charles' prudence—which now seemed to be the basis for Charles' caprice. Keeping his mouth shut and his agitation restrained, Erik urged Charles to continue. "I was afraid of what I would have to admit and how it would affect us."

"Us?" Erik hoped that Charles would stop being so vague and verbose for one moment to get his point across. "What about us?" His confusion seeped into every syllable, his frustration palpable.

"For goodness' sake, Erik. I'm bloody in love with you," Charles finally confessed, his chest heaving and his eyes scanning frantically over Erik's expression. Suddenly, Charles' hesitance was warranted. The words lingered, suspended in the air like the beginning winds of a storm, heavy with the threat of something that could tear them apart.

Something forbidden—unheard of—had burgeoned  between the two men. Anything more than a reluctant cooperation between an angel and a demon was unprecedented. Their bond defied all realms of natural law regarding their kind. The punishment for such a crime, if there was even a concept for it, could be detrimental.

To say Erik didn't feel the same would be a sordid mistruth. Getting to know someone over the span of eternity leaves little to be uncovered, and although Erik couldn't predict Charles' moods, he knew everything that truly mattered. All of the good and bad—though the latter was negligible. Erik loved it all. He loved Charles.

The aphotic depths of this new territory offered no guarantees of punishment or forgiveness. Perhaps they would be pardoned, but one could never make such an optimistic assumption. Erik knew the wrath of God. Would she punish their kindred spirits and bleeding hearts?

"Erik?" Charles' anxious voice anchored Erik to the present. The contrite look the angel's face filled Erik with shame. Unaware of how long he had remained silent, he had left Charles to draw his own conclusions and assume the worst.

A fire lit behind Charles' lustrous eyes, catching Erik off guard. "I'm not sorry," Charles said. His tone tremendously assured, as if his attitude had changed with the flip of a switch.

"Pardon?" Erik shook his head, mystified by the other man's sudden impertinent countenance. Charles' stare was unrelenting, and Erik recognised the tacit agreement that Charles would not repeat himself.

Erik, at a loss for words, dropped to his knees in front of Charles. For the first time, Charles looked down at Erik, his blue eyes swimming with expectation. Erik had always been a man of few words, but he invariably made his intentions clear. "Charles, I worship you."

Charles' eyes widened, and an incredulous gasp escaped his perfect lips. He was unaccustomed to the way Erik unflinchingly uttered blasphemy. Once, the fallen angel had questioned the iniquitous rules of God, and she had struck him from the Heavens. But his angel could never be so cruel. "My devotion belongs to you. And you alone."

"Oh, Erik," Charles said longingly. Erik's beliefs scarcely aligned with those Charles had held since the beginning of time, but Erik selfishly hoped the angel might indulge him and embrace the forbidden moment. The thrill of defiance filled Erik with a desperate hope that they could make this work.

"I love you," Erik said like a prayer. Charles wordlessly sank onto the floor in front of him. His hand found its way to Erik's jaw, four fingers grazing the side of his face and his thumb brushing the apple of Erik's cheek. The demon leaned into the angel's touch like it was a sweet reprieve.

Charles leaned in carefully. His free hand trailed into Erik's hair at the back of his neck, and flames erupted within him. Their noses touched for a second before their mouths met, already soft and open. They fit together like puzzle pieces or missing ribs.

Erik kissed Charles as if he were desperate to memorise the feel of his lips and the taste of his sweet, warm mouth. Charles' lips were softer than anything Erik had ever known, and his kisses were all-consuming. Erik couldn't think or do anything but drink Charles in, savouring the movements of his lips and each breath as it came.

When the time arrived—if it arrived—that they would face trial for their crime, Erik would take all the blame. He'd lie to any jury, and say he coerced Charles; the possibility of Charles paying the price of their love was inconceivable. If loving Charles meant death, Erik would choose death every time.

Thankyou for reading my short lil oneshot! The idea was given to me by my good friend Dani when I was struggling to write for my main fic. This is my first time publishing any of my work since around 2020, so please be nice :.)

It is possible that your brand may just not be for them. Other customers may simply be impossible to please because they literally want your business to be totally different. As a business owner, you have to know when to turn criticism into constructive action, or when to let it go and focus on the rest of your customers. Step out on a ledge and explore some reasons why the customer may not be correct.New Businesses that are Still Evolving Need a Chance to GrowThere is a inner urge that drives new business owners to be “perfect”. However, the way that your business starts out is rarely how it will end up. It is important to build the type of business that attracts the customers you are aiming for. Along the way, do not be compelled to stop transforming your business into your vision. It takes time to build a business and a presence both online and offline that is trusted and respected. Trying to offer too much too early to every customer can leave you and your employees overworked, highly stressed, and even underpaid.Resources are Often Limited for Small Business Owners and EntrepreneursSome customers may have unrealistic demands that may be too time-consuming or expensive to fulfill. Big-time companies may have the capacity to go all out to try to please every one of its customers, but many small businesses and startups do not. It is more cost-effective and energy-saving to focus on the needs of most of your customers so that resources are not depleted quickly.Customers Can't ask for Goods, Services, and Perks That They Don't Know AboutSome customers make the mistake of judging a business or even saying that a company does not offer what they need if they cannot find it, or do not know about it. If your marketing is bad or if your website is poorly arranged, it may appear that your brand has far less to offer consumers than it actually does. Furthermore, people who cannot clearly see that your business offers additional options are likely to make assumptions based on limited information. Since consumers may judge your company incorrectly because they don't know enough about your brand, making essential information clear on your website is crucial. You must design your site to give the consumer a pleasant customer experience. To do so, you need a capable platform to sell your goods. Some ecommerce store builders make it extra complicated to create a unique customer experience. In contrast, some alternatives to magento enterprise like Shopify Plus gives access to innovative apps so that you can personalize the customer experience and provide solid recommendations during the sales process. When an agent gives better recommendations, sales are higher and customers are more pleased.You May Not be Targeting the Right Consumer AudienceOne of the most costly decisions you can make is targeting the wrong audience. For busy consumers, there is nothing like being bombarded with goods and services that they are not interested in. If you attempt to sell to the wrong population, you can lose your marketing investment, frustrate yourself and your employees, and block the growth of your business.Getting your target audience wrong can lead to misfire, but it may lead to debt when finances are limited. Performing thorough research before marketing your products and services can help you make the strategic decisions necessary to attract the ideal set of consumers. Think outside the box to find niches within a target audience to maximize your marketing dollars. If you got it wrong the first time around, adjusting your target audience can lead to exceptional success. Employees Cannot Please Every Customer, All of The TimeIt can be extremely stressful

for employees and business owners to live up to the motto that “ the customer is always right”. Rude customers can build up the stress on employees, and being forced to try to satisfy a customer who may never be satisfied with the company can be a draining revelation. Teaching your employees to represent the company well, defuse arguments, and to try to please the customer is the best advice, but it may not always work. When it does not, it is critical that you do not make your employees feel guilty if it happens.It is important to remember that although achieving higher customer satisfaction is necessary for all businesses, you may not be able to please every single customer, and that is okay. Every business faces friction with customers every now and then but that does not mean that the brand is not a good one. You must be courageous enough to realize the vision of your brand while creating a company that consumers appreciate along the way. At some point, the business owner, manager, or employee must move on if they have done everything possible to remedy an issue with a customer. Listening to the majority of your customers can provide a more grounded perspective on current perceptions of your business. At the end of the day, the business owner is the top authority and can make the final decisions, but it should only be with temperance, vision, and wisdom.

Is WordPress Good for Ecommerce? [Pros and Cons]

Choosing the right platform for your ecommerce website is critical for success. While platforms like Shopify and Magento dominate the market, WordPress—when combined with WooCommerce—has become a powerful and flexible alternative.

But is WordPress the right choice for your online store?

In this definitive guide, we’ll explore the pros and cons of using WordPress for ecommerce, and explain how partnering with an experienced ecommerce website development company or an ecommerce development company in India can make all the difference.

Why Use WordPress for Ecommerce?

WordPress, primarily known as a content management system, becomes an ecommerce powerhouse with the WooCommerce plugin. This combination allows businesses to:

Sell physical and digital products

Customize every aspect of their online store

Integrate blogs, marketing tools, and payment gateways

Control design and development without platform restrictions

Thanks to this flexibility, many brands turn to a WordPress website development company to build tailored ecommerce solutions that grow with their business.

✅ Pros of WordPress for Ecommerce

1. Cost-Effective and Open Source

Both WordPress and WooCommerce are open-source and free. This eliminates expensive licensing fees and allows you to invest more in design, marketing, and growth. An ecommerce website development company can help maximize your budget while still delivering a robust, feature-rich ecommerce experience.

2. Highly Customizable

WordPress offers thousands of themes and plugins to extend functionality. Whether it’s product filters, payment integration, or custom shipping rules, a skilled ecommerce web design and development company can help you achieve a completely customized solution tailored to your business goals.

3. SEO-Friendly

WordPress is known for its strong SEO capabilities, offering extensive control over meta tags, URLs, and site structure. Plugins like Yoast SEO and Rank Math make optimization simple. Many ecommerce website development services in India provide built-in SEO as part of their packages.

4. Scalable for Growth

Whether you’re starting with 10 products or 10,000, WordPress can scale with you. With the right server, caching, and database management, your store can handle high traffic and sales volumes—especially when managed by a reliable ecommerce website development company.

5. Strong Community and Support

With millions of users and developers worldwide, finding solutions, plugins, and forums is easy. Plus, WordPress development companies in India offer affordable ongoing support and maintenance.

❌ Cons of WordPress for Ecommerce

1. Requires Technical Knowledge for Customization

While WordPress is user-friendly, ecommerce features often need expert configuration. Without the help of a professional ecommerce web design and development company, managing complex requirements can be overwhelming.

2. Ongoing Maintenance Is a Must

Regular updates to the core platform, themes, and plugins are essential. Ignoring these can lead to security vulnerabilities. Partnering with an ecommerce development company in India can ensure your store stays updated, secure, and fully functional.

3. Performance Depends on Hosting and Optimization

Ecommerce stores require fast load times and smooth performance. Cheap hosting can lead to slow sites and lost sales. A trusted ecommerce website development services provider will implement speed-boosting strategies like CDN, caching, and optimized code.

4. Security Needs to Be Taken Seriously

As an open-source platform, WordPress sites can be targeted if not properly secured. Regular backups, SSL, firewalls, and security plugins are essential. Professional ecommerce website development services in India often include these as part of a comprehensive security package.

When WordPress Is a Great Fit for Ecommerce

WordPress is ideal for:

Small to medium-sized businesses

Startups needing affordable yet scalable solutions

Content-driven stores (e.g., blogs + products)

Businesses that need complete design flexibility

If you fall into any of these categories, working with a WordPress website design company or WordPress development company in India ensures you get expert support, from concept to launch and beyond.

How an Ecommerce Development Company in India Can Help

India is a global hub for web development, known for high-quality work at cost-effective rates. Choosing an ecommerce development company in India gives you access to:

Expert WordPress developers

Advanced ecommerce design and UX

Custom plugin development

SEO integration

Ongoing maintenance and support

Many top-tier ecommerce website development services in India also offer end-to-end solutions that cover everything from branding and design to marketing and security.

Conclusion

So, is WordPress good for ecommerce?

Yes—if you're looking for a flexible, SEO-friendly, and scalable solution. With the power of WooCommerce and the support of a trusted ecommerce website development company, WordPress can meet the demands of modern online businesses.

However, success depends on smart planning, expert development, and ongoing support. That’s why businesses across industries are choosing experienced ecommerce web design and development companies, especially in India, to turn their vision into reality.

B2C Shipping Reinvented: What Modern Consumers Really Want

In the fast-paced world of B2C (business-to-consumer) commerce, customer expectations are higher than ever. Shoppers are no longer satisfied with simply receiving their orders—they want speed, flexibility, transparency, and a seamless post-purchase experience. At LogyXpress, we’re helping businesses stay ahead by completely reinventing B2C shipping to align with what modern consumers truly want.

Speed That Matches Today’s Lifestyle

Let’s face it: modern shoppers live in an on-demand world. Whether it’s groceries, gadgets, or gifts, they want their items delivered yesterday. Next-day and same-day delivery are no longer a luxury—they’re becoming the new normal.

Our distributed network of fulfillment hubs enables local shipping for faster, more reliable last-mile delivery—giving consumers what they want, exactly when they want it.

Free (or Affordable) Shipping Options

Shipping cost is one of the top reasons for cart abandonment. Customers expect either free shipping or low-cost alternatives—especially on B2C platforms where convenience is king.

LogyXpress helps businesses offer cost-effective shipping solutions by optimizing packaging, reducing dimensional weight, and providing access to negotiated carrier rates. With customizable delivery thresholds like “Free shipping over £40,” businesses can drive conversions while maintaining profitability.

Flexibility & Control

Today’s consumers want control over their delivery experience. That means choosing delivery windows, updating shipping addresses, and tracking their parcels in real time.

Our LogyXpress dashboard gives customers a personalized shipping journey—complete with live tracking, SMS/email updates, and the ability to reschedule or reroute deliveries on the fly. This transparency reduces missed deliveries and enhances overall satisfaction.

We also support alternative delivery methods, including pick-up lockers, click-and-collect options, and green delivery for eco-conscious shoppers.

Seamless Returns = Happy Customers

A frictionless return process is a major trust builder in B2C eCommerce. According to industry reports, over 60% of online shoppers check return policies before making a purchase.

LogyXpress simplifies returns with automated return portals, pre-paid labels, and reverse logistics solutions that make it easy for customers to send items back. This helps brands reduce return friction, boost loyalty, and even encourage repeat purchases.

Tech-Powered Shipping, Human-Centric Service

While automation is at the heart of our logistics system, we never forget the human side. LogyXpress combines cutting-edge technology with responsive customer service, ensuring both merchants and shoppers have a smooth experience every step of the way.

Smooth Transition with Expert E-Commerce Migration Services

Why E-Commerce Migration Services Are Essential for Online Growth

With the digital world evolving at a very fast pace, it has become more critical than ever to ensure that your online store is up to date. If the current ecommerce platform is not catering to your business needs, it is time to look for an alternative. That's when the ecommerce migration services come in. These services will assist you to migrate your online store from one platform to another while minimizing risk, downtime, and loss of data.

Let us delve into how migration in the ecommerce business can enhance the growth of your business and how to make the move easily and successfully.

What Is an E-Commerce Migration?

Ecommerce migration is when you transfer data, design, content, and functionality from one platform to another. For instance, you may want to migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify or Magento to BigCommerce.

It seems simple but can be quite complicated. You aren't just moving files; you're moving things that really matter like:

Client info

Order history

Product info

SEO settings

Custom features

Without professional input into the E-Commerce migration process, you risk losing data, obtaining poor website performance, or a drop in ranking on search engines.

Signs to Show That You Need Ecommerce Migration Services

Wondering if migrating would be the right step? Here are the signs that highlight how your current platform is holding your business back: 

Slow website speeds- Customers leave if your pages take too long to load. 

Poor mobile experience- If your store does not look appealing on mobile or tablet, then lock out sales.

Limited customization- You need an elastic platform that grows with your business.

Very high maintenance costs- Some platforms, it turns out, are quite expensive to maintain and keep running.

Outdated design- An up-to-the-minute design can boost your conversion rates and inspire confidence.

If any of the above applies to you, it is now time for you to do due diligence on your options.

Things to Benefit from eCommerce Migration Services Offered by Professionals

Moving a shop is only part of copying the content. Moving a shop is about making a seamless transition without bringing harm to the business. Here is how professional services comes to play:

1. Safe and accurate data

They will ensure that every piece of customer information, order history, and product data gets migrated without errors or loss.

2. Minimum downtime

The good migration team will thus make your store be alive even during such switching to avoid losses in sales or customers.

3. SEO preserving

SEO is very critical to online visibility. The best professional will easily maintain your SEO settings such as meta tags and URLs, so you don't lose search engine rankings.

4. Design improvements and user experience

Make your store visually more attractive as well as improve how customers interact with your site for more conversions and satisfaction.

5. Platform Optimization

Experts shall find the most ideal ecommerce platform for their present and future needs: the one which suits your size, your goals, and your budget.

Choosing the Right Ecommerce Migration Partner

Not all ecommerce migration services are the same. Here’s what to look for when choosing a provider:

Experience: Look for teams that have handled similar migrations successfully.

Custom solutions: Every store is different — your migration should be too.

Post-migration support: Good service doesn’t end when the migration is done.

Positive reviews: Check client testimonials and case studies.

A great migration partner will not only move your store but improve it along the way.

Switching ecommerce platforms might actually sound overwhelming, but with the right ecommerce migration services, it doesn't have to be that way. A professional team makes sure that your data is kept intact, your SEO still rocks, and above all, your business runs smoothly without breaks.

Be it upgrading your platform for superior performance, fancy design, or a better user experience, migration can alter the whole course of your online business. Stop settling for the old platform that no longer fits — confidently make that move and watch your ecommerce success expand.
