If this doesn't get filled, there is no justice in this world.

Not to get anybody's hopes up, but I've started on this. It doesn't look exactly like the prompt yet, but the plan that immediately formed in my head DOES... and it looks like it may be loooong. I also have a habit of starting a story, thinking it's rubbish, and abandoning it. Hopefully this won't happen here (because erik/charles has EATEN MY BRAIN) but just warning! lol x

Question to OP: anonymous June 12 2011, 19:15:43 UTC
Would you like this set in 1962, or present-day? the prompt mentioned that Charles would act as Erik's fiance, so setting it in 1962 makes that a little difficult as same-sex marriages didn't become legal until the 2000s...

Warnings: psychiatric institutionalisation; prostitution; homophobia (in later chapters). I don't think there's anything else, but I'll warn for it if any appear.

This is my first attempt at a fill, so be gentle with me, please. The first part doesn't relate directly to the prompt, but I felt I needed Charles to have a backstory as to why he would work as an escort (as he appears to be be richer than a rich person's obscenely rich uncle). I've also been lead to believe by wikipedia that he did have an abusive stepfather: See here.

The title comes from a poem by Lord Byron

All that’s best of dark and bright

The problem with having an abusive, alcoholic stepfather is that he’s the first one to ship you off to a psychiatric institution when you start talking about reading his mind.

Charles hadn’t meant to tell his mother and stepfather about his ability, but he could no longer ignore the knowledge that Kurt was using his mother’s money, stealing it, to fund his shady business deals and his dead-end research. Kurt went up ( ... )

During one of his stays at home, he found a young girl hiding in his mother’s form; a girl like him, different, and lost and alone. Charles hid her from his family, befriended her, taught her the secret routes through the mansion and who would be the best to imitate if caught out. Raven was his first true friend; a friend like he’d often wished for, when watching other children playing in the street outside the hospital through his barred windows (there were no children playing on the grounds of Xavier Mansion). She intrinsically believed him when he told her about his gift, about everything he hears, everything he can do, and is wonderfully extraordinary in her own right. They spent their days curled up in dark, forgotten corners of Charles’ ancestral home, pouring over books and playing as many games as they could dream up. His stays at the Mansion grew longer after he met her; he never wanted to leave her alone in a house where his stepfamily’s rage was a constant presence, even though she was never caught. He found he missed her ( ... )

Erik Lensherr stared at the white rectangle of card that had been burning a hole in his pocket all morning, since Simmons slipped it to him this morning with a sly wink. It was a simple business card, with clear black lettering spelling out the name of the company, a telephone number, and a tagline: We provide services tailored perfectly to your needsErik shook his head, dropping the card down onto his desk. What the hell he was doing? This was perhaps the most ridiculous thing he’d ever done ( ... )

This is amazing. I love the back story you gave Charles. I honestly wish more people would play with his background. I can't wait to read more of this.
