This But It’s Erik Going On A Mission With The Brotherhood And Charles Is Pissed Off At Him For Leaving

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.

As always, please spread the word!

Listening to this masterpiece while doing my revision for my mid-term exam is the best thing on earth.

Okay it’s me with another Cherik fic recommendation !

Imagine meeting a man in a small café and he has fun trashing your favorite author in front of you. Now imagine falling in love with this man, without knowing that he is actually your favorite author?

Well, that’s what happens to Charles in this amazing modern AU (without power) signed by Clock, on Ao3.

We dive into a sweet and fun story of love and friendship to read, marked by its spicy passages.

Anyway, here’s the link !

“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…

Okay I've watched Barbie (yes I'm late but shhh).

This movie had me in TEARS. I went to the cinema with my mother and my little brother, and when I tell you that I cried, it's not like was teary, I really cried like a baby. And I hugged my mom so tight after the movie.

Its just and fucking masterpiece and everything about it was beautiful. The speech of Sacha's mother was powerful, and I do not regret going to the movie with my mom.

The fact that Barbie felt uncomfortable while rollerskating when Ken felt admired was the most relatable thing ever.

I just loved it from the beginning to the end.

(And my brother just said it sucked, so we told him that he didn't understand the movie at all) (he is 13 btw)

tony: finally someone else who gets it! isn't it terrible having someone else get inside your head? to have them terrorize you from your own mind???? its ruined my life and i can't think about aliens without having a panic attack

Magneto, who came so hard from Charles tele-topping him from the other side of the country that he went blind for like twenty minutes this morning:
