Master Post: we're all here because we're not all here | X-Men: First Class
Title: we're all here because we're not all here
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Pairing: Erik/Charles, Alex/Hank
Prompt: Here at 1stclass_kink.
Rating: R for sex, drugs, dark themes and language. See Warnings.
Word Count: 25,000
Genre: Slash, Gen
Summary: AU, no powers. Charles and the gang are in treatment at the Elizabeth Braddock Rehabilitation Clinic for their various problems. Erik is the new patient, convinced he's going to die. Alex is getting a little too intimate with his therapist, and Dr. Hank McCoy remains torn between love and ethics. Lines are crossed, tears are cried, hopes are dashed and dreams are reborn. Somewhere in between, people fall in love.
Warnings: Character death, substance abuse, eating disorders, suicide, domestic abuse, rape. Yeah, this fic is definitely not for everyone.
Author’s Notes: This fic could not have been written without a number of things and people: first, I have to acknowledge the documentary Thin and the HBO series In Treatment as well as my own mother for providing me with a semi-thorough background into the world of psychiatry and rehabilitation. If you're interested in the subject, I highly recommend both the series and the documentary: very eye opening. I'd also like to thank starshipbadass for reminding me to write the next part/continue with the fic/being there to bounce ideas off of/squeeing over various ideas I had. Truly, without her, the fic would not exist. I'd also like to thank all the people at 1stclass_kink who commented with their kind words of support. I hope you all enjoy!
