I love this view of Erika - strong willed, but still nervous - and how Charles works around all of her pitfalls to make everything closer to what she's wanted and not what he might want.
I think that speaks to something else that might be later on in their relationship.
This is a fine depiction of them, Erika fierce and proud and choosing what she wants, declaring what she wants, even though it's a scary step. And Charles, exploring himself, trying to figure out his best friend, and being so careful with his response until the two of them find that this between them is exactly what they want. Lovely!
I didn't post it on AO3 because it didn't feel quite like a full story to me, and somehow it stressed me out less to just post it to lj in the circumstances. Even when it's not posted to AO3, though, I do make sure to tag everything on lj under the "xmen:writing" tag, so hopefully you haven't missed much.

I almost missed this fic because it wasn't on AO3, and now it makes me wonder how much more of you're lovely writing I've missed before.
