Title: ABC Drabbles
Fandom: X-Men First Class
Characters: Charles/Erik
Words: ~2,600
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: more fluff and schmoop and kittens
Summary: Modern AU. Charles is still a psychology student, Erik is still in love with him and they still have too many cats. These are more snippets about their relationship.
Beta: none
Notes: I wasn't planning on writing more in this 'verse, but I got so many positive comments and I'm easily swayed. Seriously, I never got half as many comments on a story, I couldn't stop smiling whenever I got an email notification. This is sort of a sequel to Of kittens and teacups and love, except there's really no plot so it can be read as a standalone too. It's for an activity @ maridichallenge (write 26 drabbles for prompts starting with each letter of the alphabet). Some drabbles are linked, like the story of Charles and Erik's trip to Europe, and some aren't. Either way, MORE KITTENS!

( Charles and Erik are best friends. )

Title: and I forgot to tell you I love you
Fandom: X-Men First Class
Subject: Charles/Erik
Notes: Made for singustosleep's June challenge: movies and black and white. I'm not usually big on movie fandoms, but Tumblr was telling me wonderful things about Charles and Erik so I miiight just have started working on this fanmix before actually watching the movie. In my defence I'm a longtime fan of the comics. So, this is huge. It's actually two mixes in one: there's Charles's side and Erik's side, each chronicling the stages of their relationship from their first meeting to the beach divorce, hinting to a possible future reconciliation. Plus an intro and an outro, bringing the total to a neat 20. Okay, so the outro is actually the song that plays on the credits, but it's a good song and I wanted to include it. They have a song called Love Love playing after a movie where the focus is on the relationship between two guys. That's so heterosexual. So yeah, I have made a mix with a song by Take That. There's also a song in French, which seems fit given all the foreign languages spoken in the movies. None of which were French, but hush. There's Mumford & Sons, Muse, Keane, A Fine Frenzy, Sarah McLachlan lending me the title and a lot of other favourites of mine. Anyway, you can listen to Charles's mix or Erik's mix or to Charles-and-Erik's mix alternating them or you can just loop Love Love all day long. You can even pick the cover you prefer, I made alternates since I don't like black and white covers much. And I'm getting rambly here, I'm sorry about that. And afternoon of listening to Fassavoy interviews can do that to a person. Ohmygod I still can't get over the fact that he said Fassavoy.
