I've been thinking a lot about the thing you said about the overnight bag of favorite tropes and how I wouldn't necessarily say that THIS story is that for me, but that the verse is threatening to spiral out into it for me--established relationships, politics, Charles and Erik dealing with Charles' disability, maybe kids or at least a bigger found family, and Charles and Erik growing old together. But teenagers and friends to lovers...ugh ♥ ♥ ♥ I love friends to lovers so much because it combines all the great things about established relationship and all the great things about first time stories and smushes them together. You get that emotional intimacy and the deepness of feeling and the knowing each other and the comfort of established relationship, with all the dramatic tension and sexiness of first time stories.

UGH I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH IS BASICALLY WHAT I'M SAYING. And the whole verse. And everything about these characters. I JUST WANT TO ROLL AROUND IN THESE STORIES FOREVER.
