I Like To Imagine That When Charles Joined Erik On Genosha, Erik Built A New House Near A Lake. Simply

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:

THE GREAT FISH WEDDING OF 2025‼️💍

Supernatural AU: Erik is hunting down the demon that killed his wife while trying to protect his teen daughter, Nina, who is suddenly developing strange abilities such as talking with animals. An Angel who calls himself Charles has taken a shine to them both. All this is happening while some other pair of hunters are trying to stop the apocalypse or something.

My longtime favourite fanfiction trope is Time Travel (I am talking about literal years of research), so please trust me when I say that despite being discontinued, this is the best Cherik fic on the trope.

I know that an unfinished fic -and especially a great one- is a no-go for many readers, but I’m begging you to try this one. It manages to be a finished and fulfilling story on its own way.

Without further ado, please go check it out

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 !

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.

It's just an idea I have in my head and I'm really lazy to do anything with it but what if there were a clone that was made out of Erik's and charles dna and they would have there powers combined so tgey have to co parent Idk it might be dumb but you can use it of you like for your fanfiction

Omg that sounds so much like Onslaught !!

Okay so I could totally imagine Erik having a mission with the Brotherhood to destroy a lab and in one of those labs he would find a child, barely older than 6, huddled against the back wall, covering his ears because he can hear everyone’s thoughts.

The child would have Erik’s hair, nose or lips and would have Charles’ eyes and kind smile.

Erik recognizes these eyes directly and think that the child might be Charles’ and that he had been abducted or something and he takes the child with him (the child wouldn’t show resistance because Erik is the only silent mind around him bc of the helmet and it makes me feel better).

Once he arrives at the Mansion, he goes to Charles who is in his office, and is mad to see that Charles doesn’t seem bothered by the disappearance of his child, so he screams at him but Charles is like “Wtf, what kid ?”

Then Charles sees the child and goes in Professor mode, making sure the kid is safe and not scared. After he realizes the child is also a telepath, and a powerful one, them asks him if they have a name, to which the child answers no.

They both get super worried but the child goes around Charles’ office and touches everything, since it’s his first time out of the lab.

Charles then realizes the ressemblance between the kid and Erik and asks who is the mother, to which Erik’s like “well YOU should know” and after arguing they arrive to the conclusion that the kid looks definitely like the both of them.

But they are sure of it the minute they walk into Hank’s lab to ask for a blood test because the child destroyed absolutely everything inside of it, using his metalokinesie that he inherited from Erik.

They both decides that the child must stay at the school, where he will be safe and sound, but Erik can’t leave. He wants to. He needs to. But he can’t. So after talking to Mystique, he decides to stay with the child. Just for a week. Just to help Charles and make sure no one will come for the child.

After a month, it’s clear of every inhabitant of the school that both Erik and the child are here to stay. And every time someone tries to talk about their concerns to Charles, he just says that the child deserves to have both of their fathers in their life.

Okay maybe I went to far lmao, but here’s what I would write with this idea !! Hope you like it <3

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 ??

Every X-Men movie in Nutshell:

Charles: Erik, No killing humans-

Erik:

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 !💕
