You posted it!!! And I read it for the millionth time because it's beautiful!! (also, EXCELLENT TITLE CHOICE holy crap!!! Well done you!!!! I loved the inclusion of Henley's poem!!)

Now I'm just going to sit here and patiently wait for the Thor/Charles sequel, which is totally not my usual OTP, but who I need now more then breathing, even if it's just you and me writing/reading/loving it...

It was my pleasure to beta this---ANY TIME you need a beta, feel free to message me!!!!

Oh yes, please let there be Thor/Charles in a sequel!

ZOMG! Seconded like crazy! I NEED A THOR/CHARLES FIC! Idek what happened, but suddenly this Erik/Charles shipper is straying, and I don't feel guilty about it. I mean..have you seen the God of Thunder without a shirt?

Just creeping around but I need Thor/Charles like WOAH now!!

Wow, I'm kind of speechless and emotionally drained and feel slightly weak, funnily. I hurt so much for Charles in the first two chapters, and then I kind of hurt for Raven and Erik at all the regrets they must have, but on the other hand I was so furiuos with them that I never for a second thought they deserved otherwise. What I absolutely loved was the Avengers and how they all acted around Charles and how protective they were. Especially Thor's and Tony's characterisations were brilliant. I still ache for Charles and for the warmth and trust and light-heartedness he's lost, but I really think he's in the very best hands.

Awesome, awesome job you did with this.

This fic hurt so much to read (In a really wonderful way). You've done an incredible job capturing the horror / numbness of an assault victim in Charles, and I really enjoyed seeing his new family's support. Awesome!

BTW - please see above begging and flailing for Thor/Charles sequel. Thank you. LOL

What an interesting story; I like the way you constructed it. Well-done!

So this kinda made me cry. Just because this shit happens so often in real life, and too rarely do the survivors of sexual assault have families - biological or chosen ones - to take care of them like the Avengers did of Charles.
