I honestly saw this prompt over at the meme and just started typing the fic into the commentbox. Oh Charles. I think it's alarmingly easy to forget how tough having telepathic powers could be at times.
*MASSIVE HUGS*

I'm already writing more in this fandom! :D So, yeah, keep your eye out. Thanks so much for coming by & commenting and, let's be honest, for getting me into this fandom in the first place. None of this would exist without you, bb! ♥

OH man, this is so beautifully done. *sniffles* Poor bb!Charles always feeling so awkward and alone and it just kinda makes me think that when he tells Erik "You're not alone" he's really telling himself as well. *wipes eyes* God, just Come Back, Erik!!! Loved this. A lot. <3

I'm so glad that you liked it. I can't help but think that being a telepath would have some major drawbacks. Everything would definitely be that little bit better if Erik came back though. Thanks for reading and commenting! <3

I'm so glad that you liked it! The problems with telepathy are definitely something which I find really intriguing in this fandom - particularly as we never really know how much effort it takes Charles to have full control over his powers. Thank you for reading & commenting. I'm really glad you liked it. ♥

I really loved how you showed Charles' philosophy being tested in each of these sections, and it was heartbreaking to see him blame and suppress himself, even if that probably was a sanity saver at the time.

I'm really glad that you enjoted the story. I think Charles' power is one which opens up all kinds of horrible moral and emotional issues and imagining how he'd deal with it is fascinating. Thank you for reading & leaving such a thoughtful comment. ♥
