Just like a quick cherik thought, but Charles frankly must have been DEVASTATED to learn that Erik could settle down and be happy with a family but not with him
Someone NEEDS to write that 😩😩
DOFP but they sent Logan too far into the past
I love, love, LOVE to think about Cherik being together after the Dark Phoenix ending.
They live in France for a while, probably in a cute little apartment on one of the picturesque streets, then move to Genosha to live with other mutants and be left in peace. Every place they live is always accessible for Charles in his wheelchair, even though Erik insists on helping him most of the time.
They might go on missions every once and a while to help mutants in need, but for the most part both of them are retired and stay at home.
Now that they are together again, their minds are usually connected, because it makes them feel comfortable and whole, and they can constantly feel the vast love they have for each other.
After a while of being back together, they tell some of the X-Men about it. Hank is relieved, but wondering how long they will last this time. Peter thinks it's hilarious that is dad is with the professor and teases them about it endlessly. Everyone else is really happy for them, and enjoys their visits to the X-Mansion.
Most importantly, they are together, and have promised never to leave each other ever again :)
Raven: You don't think I can fight because l'm a girl.
Erik: I don't think you can fight because you're wearing a wedding dress. For what it's worth, I don't think Charles could fight in that dress either.
Charles: Perhaps not. But I would make a radiant bride.
Just finished good omens 2.
I FUCKING KNEW THAT GABRIEL AND BELZEBUBS WERE GOING TO BE ENDGAME !!!
I've been thinking about those soulmate AUs where whatever happens to your skin translate's to your soulmates, so when you get hurt, they get hurt as well. Those can be really cute with other ships when one doddles on their skin, or if one works as vet and has weird scratches.
But Cherik. Fuck, Cherik.
Kurt beating Charles up and Erik thinking that the bruises he doesn't remember is just Shaw experimenting on him while unconscious. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
One random morning when Charles is a kid, he feels this excruciating pain and numbers appear on forearm. From that point beyond it's just downhill, everyday he screams like it's torture, because, well, it is.
It gets to a point where even his negligent mother can't ignore and takes him to a hospital, he gets tested for every single type of chronic pain possible, but it all turns negative, so they think he's faking it/ it's psychological. But his shitty family still doesn't want to deal with that, so they lock him up in the hospital, so the doctors can "treat him" and "ease the pain", however nothing works — because the it's not Charles', it's Erik's.
At this point some might suspect it's soulmate induced, but what kind of person would be torture this much for so long?
Raven is the only one who keeps visiting, disguised as a nurse or a doctor, she's the only one who believes him. Until the late 1940s, when the pain stops. Erik is free from the camps. Charles is discharged from the hospital.
It's not until some years later, the world learns the the horrors the Nazis were doing, and my god the tattoo — that's when Charles understands what kind of person his soulmate is. He never cried so hard as that night. Raven hugs him, saying that his soulmate has to have survived, or else he'd be dead too, right? Right?
They want to search for his soulmate, but all they have is the numbers (and they'd assume it's a girl because of period typical homophobia). Besides, if they're soulmates, the universe is going to put them together, right?
And then Charles saves a random man who was going to drown trying to throw a submarine at a Nazi yacht. Their minds touch, and it's like they've known each other their wholes lives, it's beautiful.
Charles shows him his numbers and Erik shows his, and they match — because of they do — and my god, IT'S YOU!!
Erik didn't even thought he had a soulmate, thought he was doomed to be alone, but Charles is cheering and hugging him because IT'S YOU WHO I'VE BEEN IN HELL FOR! oh my god you've been through hell OH MY GOD WE'VE BEEN THROUGH HELL!
Raven is crying in the background because she has a new brother-in-law. Erik is a bit confused in the beginning, but as soon as he realizes Charles has suffered in Shaw's hands as much as he did, he hugs him to never let go. He cries variations of ‘I'm sorry’, but Charles reassures him it was never his fault.
And they go hunt Shaw together, holding hands. And Charles doesn't protest when Erik wants to kill him with the coin. He endures holding Shaw still while Erik gets his closure, he endured so much for Erik, it's just one more thing, once and for all. It's revenge for us both.
There's no beach divorce.
They live happily ever after.
May I add this one :
I think I’m gonna start a series about all the weird ass tags that I find
This but it’s Erik going on a mission with the Brotherhood and Charles is pissed off at him for leaving that long again
"If I don't reply by tomorrow, then consider me dead." It's been two years since you got that message, and you haven't seen them since. Suddenly, your phone lights up: "Sorry, that took longer than I thought."
“What’s your favourite horror movie?”
Oh I don’t know, maybe the way Erik looked when he realised that his decades of trial and error did nothing to help him against Shaw, and he and everyone he loved would die a pointless death at the hands of the man he swore to never let hurt anyone else again…
