Raven: You Don't Think I Can Fight Because L'm A Girl.

found family? no, forced family

Okay it’s me with another Cherik fic recommendation !

Imagine meeting a man in a small café and he has fun trashing your favorite author in front of you. Now imagine falling in love with this man, without knowing that he is actually your favorite author?

Well, that’s what happens to Charles in this amazing modern AU (without power) signed by Clock, on Ao3.

We dive into a sweet and fun story of love and friendship to read, marked by its spicy passages.

Anyway, here’s the link !

I like to think that after Dark Phoenix Charles and Erik didn’t get together immediately.

Charles moved in with Erik, they had a three hour long debate over who got the bed and who the couch and they ended up in a day-by-day system that just had double the trouble. And of course someone was always running (or wheeling) to the other in the middle of the night to wake them up/calm them down from a nightmare. Then one day Erik came back hurt/very tired, but it was Charles’ turn to take the bed, they had an (unsurprisingly) short argument and they both ended up sleeping on the bed.

Needless to say that, after that, the only person to ever sleep on that couch was Peter when he was visiting.

As always, please spread the word!

It's just an idea I have in my head and I'm really lazy to do anything with it but what if there were a clone that was made out of Erik's and charles dna and they would have there powers combined so tgey have to co parent Idk it might be dumb but you can use it of you like for your fanfiction

Omg that sounds so much like Onslaught !!

Okay so I could totally imagine Erik having a mission with the Brotherhood to destroy a lab and in one of those labs he would find a child, barely older than 6, huddled against the back wall, covering his ears because he can hear everyone’s thoughts.

The child would have Erik’s hair, nose or lips and would have Charles’ eyes and kind smile.

Erik recognizes these eyes directly and think that the child might be Charles’ and that he had been abducted or something and he takes the child with him (the child wouldn’t show resistance because Erik is the only silent mind around him bc of the helmet and it makes me feel better).

Once he arrives at the Mansion, he goes to Charles who is in his office, and is mad to see that Charles doesn’t seem bothered by the disappearance of his child, so he screams at him but Charles is like “Wtf, what kid ?”

Then Charles sees the child and goes in Professor mode, making sure the kid is safe and not scared. After he realizes the child is also a telepath, and a powerful one, them asks him if they have a name, to which the child answers no.

They both get super worried but the child goes around Charles’ office and touches everything, since it’s his first time out of the lab.

Charles then realizes the ressemblance between the kid and Erik and asks who is the mother, to which Erik’s like “well YOU should know” and after arguing they arrive to the conclusion that the kid looks definitely like the both of them.

But they are sure of it the minute they walk into Hank’s lab to ask for a blood test because the child destroyed absolutely everything inside of it, using his metalokinesie that he inherited from Erik.

They both decides that the child must stay at the school, where he will be safe and sound, but Erik can’t leave. He wants to. He needs to. But he can’t. So after talking to Mystique, he decides to stay with the child. Just for a week. Just to help Charles and make sure no one will come for the child.

After a month, it’s clear of every inhabitant of the school that both Erik and the child are here to stay. And every time someone tries to talk about their concerns to Charles, he just says that the child deserves to have both of their fathers in their life.

Okay maybe I went to far lmao, but here’s what I would write with this idea !! Hope you like it <3

Me: I wonder how many works this fandom has on AO3

Me emerging from the depths: what day is it?

Bitches love reblogging this post every Tuesday the 18th

hello, cherik nation. my dashboard is occasionally devoid of cherik, so I need to follow some new people to help me continue feeding my hyper-fixation. so if you reblog cherik or x-men daily and are active in the cherik/x-men community, please reblog this!

I didn’t planned to cry but here we are 🥲

I've been thinking about the Paris Proposal lately.

I love it so much. In a time when Charles is so vulnerable and alone- Raven is dead, Jean is gone(?), he lost his place as headmaster of the school and leader of the x-men, and surely he assumes he's lost Erik long ago- Erik shows up and is so soft and gentle.

The best part? This line:

Throughout the series but particularly in Dark Phoenix, everyone that Charles loves interprets his intentions in the worst possible light. This movie is like, one long Charles whump; Raven accuses him of hiding in the mansion and taking the credit for the x-men's success, Hank cruelly blames him for Raven's death and turns on him after thirty years of friendship, and even Erik gets his licks in ("You're always sorry...but nobody cares anymore"!? ERIK!!!)

But then Erik shows up in Paris, and says "You saved my life, and you offered me a home."

I'm certain that in First Class, Erik didn't see it that way. Instead, he saw Charles making ultimatums and rejecting Erik entirely the moment Erik did something Charles didn't agree with (and we can all agree Charles didn't handle things well on that beach, but the truth is that he always, always forgives Erik and he always wants him back, even when he's upset with him)

Sometime over the last thirty years, Erik has reevaluated that time and come to the conclusion that- yes, Charles was offering him a home-not just a place to sleep and train and plot.

A home.

Somewhere you return to at the end of every day, regardless of what that day brought and whether you were the best or worst version of yourself, somewhere safe and accepting and loving.

After Charles has lost everything he cares about and is told he's selfish and dangerous and always has been, Erik shows up to convince him otherwise.

"You saved my life, and you offered me a home. I'd like to do the same for you."

Which, given all that context, sounds a lot like:

Two people with decades of grief and pain and anger between them seeing the love and good in each other at the end of it all.

Absolutely beautiful.
