Charles/Erik, D/s anonymous August 11 2011, 03:32:02 UTC

AU where everyone’s born Dominant or Submissive

Once a Dominant and Submissive pair is born, they are linked to each other, no matter how far apart they are. This link doesn’t actually tell the Dom or the Sub each other’s thoughts, but it does allow them to know how the other’s doing and serves as a reassurance that there’s someone meant for them out there.

Another one of the reasons that Erik hates Shaw so badly is because Shaw managed to break Erik’s link to his Sub. Now Erik doesn’t even know if his Sub’s alive because breaking a link like that can kill a Submissive.

Meanwhile, Charles hates himself for not yet having telepathy strong enough to contact and help his Dom, especially after feeling the pain his Dom was forced to go through. He truly believes that his Dominant is dead. Hopes it, some nights when he remembers how his Dom was forced to suffer. It’s better than to think of his Dom still being forced to bear that pain.And then Charles pulls Erik from the water ( ... )

oh my.... somebody please fill this!

Re: Charles/Erik, D/s anonymous August 11 2011, 09:03:42 UTC

Seconded so hard.

Okay, I have never done a fill like this, so it might be a bit weird. Hope it's D/s enough ( ... )

"Again?" Raven's at his door, leaning against it. With the light behind her, Charles can't see what shape she's wearing ( ... )

Sometimes, Erik feels like he's seeing the world through a window. He can see everything, can speak and act and hurt (oh, can he hurt), but everything is... detached, not quite real. Like being a ghost, except for the anger. There at least, Erik feels alive ( ... )

Charles doesn't drink often. After seeing his mother turn to the bottle after his father died, Charles is not about to repeat her mistake. But tradition is tradition, in Oxford more than anywhere else. He almost collapses into his seat when the young woman invites him, the alcohol making everything pleasantly fuzzy. He suspects Raven is going to fetch him in a moment, before he makes an even bigger fool of himself ( ... )

Erik barely dares to breath, is sure everyone can hear his heart hammering against his ribs. The water makes his grip on the knife slippery, but no matter. It's been so long, and he's so close he can almost taste it. The moment the disaster of his life has been leading to for twenty years. The monster strikes down its maker, and all has come full circle. The fact that the monster in the tale walked into the snow forever afterwards is not something Erik spares much thought on ( ... )

Charles can feel the woman digging at his defences, trying to find a way in. It's a more offensive use of telepathy and the best Charles can do is hammer up the highest walls he can to keep her out. The thought of the damage she could do if she got inside makes him shudder ( ... )

Of Needles 7/8 skull_bearer August 12 2011, 04:42:28 UTC

It's slipping away. Twenty years, twenty years of work. His powers are leaving grooves in the shell of the submarine, but nothing else. It drags him underwater for a moment, and Erik snatches another breath before being pulled under ( ... )

Somehow they stay afloat long enough for one of the lifeboats to reach them. Everything is dizzy and incoherent as they're pulled aboard the ship and given blankets. Erik looks at his for a moment, eyes wide and slightly crazed, before wrapping himself in it and helping Charles with his. His hands are trembling slightly, he's shaking all over in shock and Charles is no better. He's pulled in against Erik and everything is wild explosive warmth as though the twenty years worth had just been stored up and were now piling in on them both ( ... )

Aww... Everything you write is always so lovely. Thank you for this!

Re: Of Needles 8/8 anonymous August 12 2011, 08:26:14 UTC

awwww this is so perfect. Thank you

Re: Of Needles 8/8 anonymous August 12 2011, 08:56:29 UTC

This story makes me so unbearably happy. I'm smiling like a loon and I just read it three times. For some reason, my favourite bit was "She's broadcasting happiness so loudly Charles can't understand why no one else is picking up on it." -- it just embodies the feeling of the end of the fic, with added I WANT XMFC CHARLES AND RAVEN TO STAY HAPPY SIBLINGS FOREVER, and a very nice tidbit of how Charles' telepathy affects the way he perceives things. I also really like how you conveyed the feeling of ownership between Charles and Erik, the utter grief of thinking the other is dead, the exhilarating joy of finding each other again. This is just utterly satisfying.

Re: Of Needles 8/8 anonymous August 12 2011, 09:35:14 UTC

Why was this so short goddamnit??? Never mind, this made me d'aww in the best way possible, and all the bad things they went through apart from each other are fine in the end! So sweet, thank you!

Re: Of Needles 8/8 cecinepasfanfic August 12 2011, 20:32:53 UTC

OMG this was sweet and tragic and everything.
