ficlet february 24: something from a picture

[pocky_slash]

So close to the end and yet this was such a struggle to start. I was saying to Margaret today that it's not so much that I'm feeling burnt out from writing--I'm feel pretty good about writing overall!--but that I'm just tired from the February from hell. Just today and tomorrow and I can take a break, though

D'awww this is so great!

Charles has to bite his tongue to keep from reminding Erik that he once told Charles that their separation was killing him sure as any bullet and that he'd never be whole again until they were together.

lololol so IC

"All this from a man who once monologued for two hours in front of ten news crews he held hostage?"

That poor news crew. Love the detail about Erik spinning Charles' ring while they hold hands <3

Erik has no place to be calling teenagers overdramatic EVER. A BASEBALL STADIUM, ERIK. YOU MOVED A BASEBALL STADIUM FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON EXCEPT TO SHOW OFF HOW COOL IT WOULD LOOK.

Hey now, he had a VERY good reason! It was to show how impressive and awesome he is!

Delightful, as always.

I liked the mention of Stephen Colbert *g* and this line: He looks condescendingly down on the end-of-the-world heartache of their students, and Charles has to bite his tongue to keep from reminding Erik that he once told Charles that their separation was killing him sure as any bullet and that he'd never be whole again until they were together.

And Charles's secret weapon of hand holding was adorable!

By the way, though I don't comment, I have been reading your ficlets all month. You mentioned in the one yesterday or the day before that you didn't think anyone was reading the ficlets, and I wanted to say that I was. ♥

Hee, thank you! I'm glad you liked this one and it's nice to know there were people reading along all the while, even if it didn't look like it XD

Very belatedly commenting on this because I think I meant to at the time, but instead I just went off squeeing about it to my roommate and then I forgot. However: this is so very lovely and adorable and in-character, old mutants in love are my favourite forever ♥ and the Sirs -- what a gift to fandom.
