Charles, Kurt (Wagner, not Marko), Raven - raising his nephew anonymous June 16 2011, 11:03:02 UTC

What if, in FC verse where they grew up together, instead of leaving her son to be raised by Azazel's gypsy associates, Raven gives her baby to Charles instead? Obviously the Brotherhood is no place to raise a child, but the mansion/school (while not ideal, necessarily) is a pretty good one, with lots of other mutants to help out and be accepting, and Charles loves his tiny blue nephew to pieces.

I'm mostly looking for some post-beach simultaneous school running/single parenting!Charles, with help from the other young staff, although if you want to include Raven dropping in to see her son and bonding/reconciling with her brother a bit, that would be wonderful too.

That's beautiful. And a thought that kept occurring to me throughout the whole movie since I found the whole sister-Mystique thing kind of odd considering I grew up thinking she wanted to kill him the whole time.

Baby!Kurt. ;^;

OMFG! I am all over this!

Charles stares at the child in his sister's arms in disbelief. The boy can't be more than a year old and Charles wants to demand why Raven didn't tell him. Instead, he smiles and holds out his hands to accept his newest charge ( ... )

Oh my god, anon, this is adorable! Drawings of Charlie! Cookies! Magneto and lullabies!

ALL MY SQUEE, YOU CAN HAS. Thank you so much, anon! /Happily anticipates the next part.

Kurt is five by the time that Raven decides to pay him a visit. She enters the study as Kurt is in Charles's lap, reading aloud from a book of Aesop's fables. Charles notices her immediately, but she shakes her head, choosing to stand and watch for a moment until Kurt looks up and notices her.

This is your mother. Charles tell him. You should give her a hug.

Kurt obliges without hesitation, shouting "Mama!" and running over to her.

"You've gotten so big!" Raven exclaims, and her smile is still just as sad as it was the last time. "You're all grown up!"

"Nuh-uh," Kurt argues, "I'm still the baby."

Charles smiles indulgently even as Raven glares slightly.

If you didn't want him brought up in the lap of luxury, Charles points out, You shouldn't have brought him to me. Besides, he is the youngest person here, still.Out loud Charles says, "Not for long, though, darling. You'll have to start school for real in fall ( ... )

So cute, but that ending made me cry a little.

OP anonymous June 17 2011, 04:34:19 UTC

Oh, I am loving this more and more. The interplay between the pointed mental conversation and Kurt's innocence is poignant and beautifully balanced. I love that Raven chafes at the dearth of choices in Kurt's life and takes that out on Charles, but she tells him he can hope for (seemingly) impossible things because he's her child and she can't crush his dreams. It all feels so genuinely complicated and realistic, with struggling people trying to do their best for him in a difficult world. I <3 this fill so much.

The inevitable question comes a month later as Charles is reading Kurt a bedtime story.

" Not the pain of this but its unfairness was what dazed Peter. It made him quite helpless. He could only stare, horrified. Every child is affected thus the first time he is treated unfairly. All he thinks he has a right to when he comes to you to be yours is fairness. After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but will never afterwards be quite the same boy. No one ever gets over the first unfairness; no one except Peter. He often met it, but he always forgot it. I suppose that was the real difference between him and all the rest."

"Charlie?" Kurt interrupts, "What's my daddy like?"

"I'm sorry, what?" Charles is too caught up in Peter Pan to keep up with Kurt's thoughts ( ... )

Fill (4/?) anonymous June 19 2011, 06:33:40 UTC

Kurt asks for a Bible--In Latin, please, Uncle Charles--for his eighth birthday and it is all Charles can do stop himself from bursting out laughing. Kurt has recently developed quite the crush on one of the older students and has consequently decided that he must always act as grown-up as possible. Charles would normally be more upset that Kurt has apparently outgrown calling him 'Charlie,' but the way he says 'Uncle Charles' like he's trying to pronounce a word with too many syllables has Charles choking back laughter every time ( ... )

Re: Fill (4/?) anonymous June 19 2011, 06:51:10 UTC

Oh my heart. This fill is so cute and fluffy and yet so heartrendingly sad.

I love little Kurt and his relationship with Charles is dynamic and perfect.

I wonder when Kurt will call him Dad. (Perhaps after he realizes that family is less about blood and more about love.)

Re: Fill (4/?) anonymous June 19 2011, 18:56:04 UTC

Author anon suspects you might be psychic. Being called 'Dad' is coming up in the next part.

Re: Fill (4/?) anonymous June 19 2011, 07:53:25 UTC

This is lovely and I'm really enjoying it, anon.

Re: Fill (4/?) exuberantself June 20 2011, 01:20:28 UTC

This is completely adorable.

I have to admit that I was thinking about the story last night in a not-quite-asleep yet haze and kind of based Kurt on this four-year-old charmer I know. He's sweet and gorgeous and loves everybody and once told me that when the dragons come he will protect everyone. So, in my head, Erik comes to Charles for forgiveness (I don't even go for that kind of thing!) and little Kurt says something like, "You have to sleep in Charlie's bed because if you have a nightmare he'll protect you. And there isn't room in my bed. Charlie says it's too small, but it's big enough for me. So if you have a nightmare, Charlie can protect you. Or can protect Charlie. But he doesn't have nightmares. Because... Because he doesn't!" (Yeah, Micaiah rambles, but dragons!) And Erik's all, "Share your bed??" And Charles just shrugs because he always does what Kurt wants and is all out of the mouths of babes about it.

Re: Fill (4/?) thenurse June 20 2011, 02:32:05 UTC

this is likely the cutest thing ever written.

Fill (5/?) anonymous June 20 2011, 06:53:07 UTC

Going clothes shopping with Kurt is always an adventure. Charles has no trouble making the humans around them perceive Kurt as a 'normal' boy, but he also has to deal with making sure that anything Kurt chooses can be modified to comfortably fit a tail. It's getting steadily easier as Kurt gets older, but it still usually ends in Kurt having to leave behind at least one thing he really wants ( ... )
