Chessmen, Part 3 (X-Men: First Class, Erik/Charles)

[zamwessell]

They didn’t speak of it the next day, but whenever he looked for Erik’s eyes they were there to meet him, blue and inscrutable. He smiled shyly and the other man smiled back with a grin that was very nearly possessive,  and when they arrived at the strip club Erik put a hand on his arm as if it were the most casual thing in the world, and when they

Oh holy fuck this was incredible. Like, exactly the kind of perfection I wanted so badly from this fandom - from the insanely hot telephatic sexual tension, to the brilliant beautiful metaphors about houses and architecture - to how torn Charles was between being his helplessly slutty self and the stuffy, adorable professor he thinks he should be. The characterisation was so spot on I could weep - I adore your Erik and Charles and the hot, angst-tinged dynamic you've crafted. WRITE MOAR, you amazing brilliant thing!

I love everything about this. There is just something so very quietly sweet about this fic. Your writing is lovely, and so was the characterisation here. They really felt like themselves, which I don't think is easy to pull off, but you managed it beautifully.

Also: And then there was an immense clattering and he noticed that Erik was holding a metal jar of something and he mouthed, “Where did you get that?” and Erik mouthed, “I have no idea,”

Oh, Erik. <3

GUH. That was mindblowingly hot, haha. I love the intimacy of this all, how they exchanged parts of themselves (and for that matter, I love how you included that bit about Charles' mother). The way Charles sees different minds, as drawers, as a castle, etc is a nice touch.

Oh my god this was scorchingly hot and incredibly well developed and angsty and emotional and... I might have died a little.

So fantastic! *loves*

I just finished reading, so forgive me if I'm not really coherent ! *tries to put her melted brain back together*

Hm. Wow. I mean, that was HOT. And I absolutely love how you wrote them, their mutual fascination, the way Charles uses/needs to use his power. And I especially liked the fact that they were both 'the first' for each other. It's the first x-men first class fic that went into that direction and you made it work absolutely well.

Sooo... with that said... MORE MORE MORE !!!

...pretty please ?
