This just gets more and more perfect the more I read. Charrrlles. Baby. I just want to hold you.

I'm glad you like it! I know! I do love writing this Charles as vulnerable. It's quite a contrast to when he's being a badass, so I enjoy it.

I like being able to see both sides of him. It makes for a neat contrast. Can't wait for the new update. <3

Wonderful, amazing, what can I say! (that's the only thing I resent you for, you damn good writers. You make me hate my lack of vocabulary, as I can't tell how much I love your job after a while!)

Again, a chapter full of emotion! I guess Erik is getting tired of awakening abruptly after Charles latched on him. And he's not even here, every time!

And again, can't wait for your next update! This story of yours thrills me!

Lol don't come to me about vocabulary, I'm scared to mix up words all the damn time. I keep thinking I need to get a beta.

I know! I think if that happened to me I would be on a fury, just like Erik.

Thank you so much! I'm happy that you like it! I'll update tomorrow, promise!

Thank you! Erik is as firm as a rock when he wants to.

Thank you so much <3 I'm glad you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

I'll update tomorrow!

I love this story so much. The fight between pain and desire, temptation and fear is wonderful. It's nice to see a Charles who needs Erik as much as Erik needs him.

Beautiful work.

Thanks so much <3 I think it's the struggle that keeps me writing these characters.

Thank you!

I read this story breathlessly, honestly, because I never know what is going to happen!

This line just killed me: “It can’t be that simple, surely you must want something else that I can-“

Oh, Charles. Shaw did the most disgusting thing possible to you...

I love that Erik feels he really needs to stage an intervention. And I like that he most definitely won't force Charles out of his comfort zone -- he knows that Charles has been forced enough -- but he is willing to pull Charles out of his despair, if Charles will only reach out. They are both so protective of each other, it's beautiful and painful.

And may I say that I find it adorable that the whole household sleeps when Charles does? :-)

I know--getting Charles to trust someone is like pulling teeth. I swear.

I'm glad I keep you on the edge of your seat <3 and thanks for all the lovely words!

Well, you know, Erik's done as much as he can on his own. Now Charles needs to start moving himself, or else they'll never get anywhere. They *have* grown protective of each other, and it was an interesting process to write.

Lol well they don't have much of a choice, Charles is too connected to all of them at this point. But I did think it was cute, I'll be honest.
