I have like 5 million headcanons for the Hear Me Out au and I can't fit them all into the fic, so here we go, part one of character headcanons:
Charles:
He identifies as queer because he experiences romantic attraction and gender differently than others due to his telepathy (much more fluid). Generally he just uses male terms but he really just doesn't care all that much about pronouns.
he's nearsighted, and wears glasses.
he may not be able to figure out his own life, but he's got great advice for everyone else (and usually it works)
he's kind of been wanting to get his ears pierced for years but he's worried it'll clash with his academia aesthetic
If he's not wearing jumpers and button-ups he owns like five million oversized hoodies in varying colors
he collects converse
He likes classical music and pop and lofi
He just randomly has teabags all the time
Erik (sorry about his face idk what happened):
He generally respects people he'd just rather not talk to them.
Learned to cook and bake from Edie, it's become cathartic for him.
Knows how to paint and draw but will never tell anyone about it. He also makes sculptures from metal when he's bored.
Likes running and working out.
Angel:
Taylor swift girly to Raven's sabrina carpenter obsession (they've got all these records on their walls)
Does yoga and mountain biking
Makeup specialist of the house (since raven can just do it with her powers)
Will sometimes go flying with sean but he makes her nervous a lot because like, what if something happened to his suit?
Haunts the local starbucks
Raven:
Only wears gold jewelry and loves pink
Will kill anyone who hurts her friends (and they'll never find the body)
Has watched the sabrina carpenter christmas special like ten million times
does "natural makeup" tutorials for mutants with all different skin colors. People send her pictures of their mutation and she shifts into them, spends time making the look, and then posts it for them.
Sean:
Started to learn to cook when they all moved in together (just simple foods for now but he's getting better and really enjoys it)
Wayyyyy too much energy at any given moment
Has perfect pitch and is a great singer because of his mutation. He can also play any instrument by ear.
I like to think that after Dark Phoenix Charles and Erik didn’t get together immediately.
Charles moved in with Erik, they had a three hour long debate over who got the bed and who the couch and they ended up in a day-by-day system that just had double the trouble. And of course someone was always running (or wheeling) to the other in the middle of the night to wake them up/calm them down from a nightmare. Then one day Erik came back hurt/very tired, but it was Charles’ turn to take the bed, they had an (unsurprisingly) short argument and they both ended up sleeping on the bed.
Needless to say that, after that, the only person to ever sleep on that couch was Peter when he was visiting.
I’m watching atonement for the first time… I’ve already cried twice.
Just finished good omens 2.
I FUCKING KNEW THAT GABRIEL AND BELZEBUBS WERE GOING TO BE ENDGAME !!!
it's max time
I’m cooking, kids 🤭🤭
Okay hear me out !
A modern AU (still with powers) where Charles and Erik are childhood friends and Charles falls in love with Erik but Erik doesn’t reciprocate because he thinks he’s straight.
BUT every time Charles has a date with another man, or when they are in a pub Erik gets jealous af and they fight about it. (A bit like Raven at the beginning of FC)
Charles doesn’t understand why his friend is behaving like that because he promised to never read his mind.
Then after days of fighting and maybe even silent treatment, Erik just pull Charles into a kiss and realize he is, in fact, not straight and ask him out 🫢🫢
Would people be interested in a fic like that ??
Okay hear me out :
(It’s a vague idea that I just had while reading “Old times” from Harold Pinter)
Charles and Erik were old friends, they met when they were rlly young (maybe around 10) but Erik moved away when they were in their twenties. They haven’t seen in almost 20 years.
Charles is now married (with Moira) but doesn’t have any kids.
One day Charles receives a letter. Erik is asking if he can come over to his house for a weekend.
Charles accepts ofc.
Erik isn’t married (he was but had a nasty divorce a few years prior)
As soon as he arrives, Charles realizes something was missing to his life all those years.
Erik is flirting openly.
Moira doesn’t seem to realize (she doesn’t but doesn’t say anything bc Charles seems finally happy)
Charles decides to go take a bath.
Moira and Erik talk about Charles. About his twenties. She tells how they met, so does Erik.
She realizes what kind of relationship the two of them had all of those years ago.
They were lovers.
Erik had to leave bc his parents died and he accepted a job offer back in Germany.
[something happens]
At night Moira talks to Charles, tell him that she knows. Charles panics bc homosexuality is still illegal. She reassures him and explain that she’s happy he’s being his true self. Bc in almost twenty years she hasn’t seen that much joy and love in his eyes.
He says that he loves her.
« I know, my love, but you don’t look at me the same way you look at him. Your heart has never been mine. It has always been his. »
The next day, Moira decides to go to her sister’s just to give them time together. She understands. She supports it.
Erik and Charles talk a lot. They play chess. And it feels right.
For the first time in years, Charles feels like a whole.
Erik puts his hand on Charles’, locks his eyes in Charles’ and with a smile, lean over the chess board and kisses him. A gentle and loving kiss.
After all these years, they are reunited. They are together. Where they should have always been.
« I have been dreaming about this day, mein schatz. And it is even better than everything I could have dreamed of. »
Should I write it ??
do you ever think of that moment where shaw almost had erik, right before erik grabbed the helmet off his head and charles froze him? how scared erik looked? do you ever think of him being scared that shaw would kill him and then all of his friends, what he would do to charles? do you think he killed shaw not only to avenge his mother and himself but to prevent him from hurting charles and the x-men?
Chapter 4 of my fic brought you the fish boyfriend, so I thought I'd do a quick little drawing to go with it<3
Hi! I wanted to tell you that I just discovered your profile and I love it. I've also seen that you started writing on that fanfiction idea where Erik thinks he's straight so he rejects Charles but then realizes he really isn't and asks Charles for a date. I don't know if it's up already, but if it isn't, can is ask you to tag me when you publish it? (If you do write it and want to tag me, of course. No pressure!)
Thank you, and have a lovely day!♡
Hiii first of all thank you so much !! It means so much to me you have no idea 🌻
It’s still a WIP because with work and school it’s complicated to find time to write, but I’m making progress !! I hope I’ll be able to publish it before mid-January !
There is absolutely no problem, I’ll tag you as soon as I publish it !
Thank you so much again, it’s so nice to know people actually like my ideas !💕
