Yeowch. Charles' powers are pretty frightening, both in its observation and implication. I'm glad that Erik is not afraid of it.

Anyways, I very much enjoyed both parts, and thank you again for writing and sharing it with us.

Not gonna lie, I do think Charles has the ability to be freaking terrifying. In fact, I'm sure there's a living breathing monster lurking deep, deep down in that abyss known as his mind, somewhere. But! I love how you've handled him, and Erik. How you've kept Charles..light, serious, knowing, curious to an almost overwhelming and pushy degree, but knows it, and how Erik is struggling and basically thinking and doing two different things at once. That he can function so passably and well like that, and how the confessions came about and jfkdsl. And then the UST being solved, my goodness. The kisses, and then the mindblowing sexy bits. I just.
I think I want to marry this fiction. Maybe you. Stay with me forever bby.

I'm sorry. That probably sounded ridiiiculously creepy right there. fdjksl.

I'd definitely like to explore, if not evil!Charles, at least very scary, manipulative, cold Charles in, say, post-divorce fic. *sniffle* Charles' brain must be a very alarming place; Erik only saw a little corner of it, really, in this.

*wibbles at your comments* I'm so glad you liked the characterization for them. Erik was much more of a challenge for me to write than Charles, him being so reticent and contradictory, and I'm glad it worked well for you. And that you enjoyed the confessions! hehe! Charles is such an ass, lol, not quite bold enough to say anything until it became really, really obvious, and yet definitely not above flirting completely shamelessly.

I will so accept your proposal. It was totes not creepy. These two dudes... they just spray love all over the universe. XD XD XD

That..I would like to see, honestly. I wish it was done more, or it already is but I haven't run into it as frequently as I would like. I don't know, but I do love seeing..I guess dark!Charles is the most common term? I mean not necessarily evil but definitely not the happy-go-lucky-positive guy that we usually see. I like seeing his more..'human' moments, I guess I could call it

I have a fic rattling around where Erik visits Charles post-divorce and despite Erik keeping the helmet on Charles knows exactly the right things to say to just break him. And he does. Particularly I'd have Erik beg Charles for forgiveness once he realizes Charles is paralyzed. Charles, after having some time to think about it, would have accepted that the bullet was a complete accident. However, he would really want Erik to apologize to him for not listening to Charles' begging him to stop the missiles. And Erik of course would still be thinking there was nothing to apologize for, as far as that was concerned. And then Charles would just rake him over the coals for it, saying "If you couldn't stop for humanity, or for decency, or for what's right... I hoped you would stop for me, because I asked you to. And you wouldn't. And that's why I won't let you stay here again, Erik." OH GOD THE ANGST ugggggh lol

As amazing as I thought it would be! I almost felt like I was reaching a climax with them! Haha! SO intense! Thank you for this :D

This is such a lovely fic. I love how Charles had been teasing Erik all that time, then he acts all innocent about it. And the sex scene was so hot and well written. Seriously hot. The whole thing is well written. I also love how you show the extent of Charles's powers, yet keep him fluffy. I do love fluffy Charles. He's such a good guy. If he weren't, he would literally run the world, because he can. He really can.

Oh thank you :) Glad I can put out quality s3xx0rz, haha, and that you enjoyed Charles' powers. They really are something, aren't they? He could be quite terrifying.

[say_thanks]

I love this.
I'm yourenotevenhuman, from tumblr ^-^
But I really, really, really, like this. Very very very much.
I think I'm going to read it again and again and again and again...
