Title: Kivuli (1/1)
Author: monstrousreg
Word count:  
Warnings:  Non-(very)graphic sex? Possessiveness, that's for sure. 
Pairing: Erik/Charles.      
Notes: Follow up to Usiku, inspired this beautiful picture by Yaegakisawa. In this case inspired by this one.

Kivuli means 'shadow' in Swahili.

“I don’t know that you can slay it, my friend.” Erik arches his brows. “What a novelty. I haven’t yet met a single creature I could not.” )

God, I love the worldbuilding in this - it's so clear there's so much more going on than we see, but you show us just enough that we understand what's happening and hunger for more. The imagery alone is gorgeous. And the way you write Erik - he's recognisably himself and yet so different. I love it.

SCREAM. I LOVE THIS VERSE SO MUCH I WANT TO SET MYSELF ON FIRE.

Well, okay, perhaps not. But still. This is so, so fabulous. The combined force of ErikandCharles here is just enthralling, and ahhhhhh Logan as Fenrir! YES! There's nothing better than stupidly powerful ancient creatures being snarky and stupidly powerful. (CHARLES CALLING ERIK A TWAT, oh darling, only you could get away with that, anyone else and Erik would use their skin for shoes).

Really stunning stuff, beautiful and dreamlike. Great work!

I have to say, this series is addicting to read. I wasn't expecting the creature beyond the Gates to be Logan! That's so cool, and totally sets up a world of spin offs involving Erik having all kinds of apoplectic fits over how close Logan is getting to Charles. Haha.

this is GORGEOUS. I love the world building here--there is so much breadth and depth to it that we don't see, but we're aware exists...Erik's point of view is lovely and dark and the way he sees Charles-as something powerful, equal, but fragile-is really sensual

love! I'd love to see more from this 'verse! (hint hint lol)

Also, i KNEW it was going to be Logan :D
