Headcanons for: Hank McCoy x Sister!Header (Part 2)

Despite his intimidating appearance (blue fur, fangs, and all), Hank is a total softie when it comes to you. He’s always gentle, whether he’s giving you a hug, ruffling your hair, or helping you with a project.

His hugs are legendary—warm, furry, and incredibly comforting. You always feel safe when he’s around.

He’s also the first to notice when something’s wrong, even if you’re trying to hide it. “I can tell by the way you’re holding your shoulders,” he’ll say. “What’s bothering you?”

Hank is the person you turn to when life feels overwhelming. His calm, steady presence is like a lighthouse in a storm.

He’s not one to sugarcoat things, but he always delivers the truth with kindness. “Life is messy and complicated,” he’ll say, “but you’re stronger than you think.”

He’s also the first to remind you that it’s okay to not be okay. “Even the strongest materials have their breaking points,” he’ll say. “It’s not a weakness to ask for help.”

If you share Hank’s love of science, he’s the ultimate mentor. He’ll spend hours teaching you about genetics, quantum physics, or whatever else you’re interested in.

He’s patient and encouraging, never making you feel silly for asking questions. “Curiosity is the foundation of discovery,” he’ll say with a smile.

If you’re not into science, he’s still happy to share his knowledge—just in a way that’s accessible and fun. “Did you know that octopuses have three hearts?” he might say, trying to make you laugh.

If you have a bad day on the lab, like you’ve been working on a project for weeks, and nothing is going right. The experiment keeps failing, your equipment malfunctions, and you’re on the verge of tears. Hank finds you slumped over your desk, surrounded by scattered notes and broken glassware. He quietly sits beside you, his deep voice calm and reassuring. “Science is as much about failure as it is about success. Every mistake is a step closer to discovery.”

Hank offers to help you troubleshoot, and the two of you spend hours working together. His patience and encouragement remind you why you love science in the first place.

Before leaving, he hands you a cup of tea and says, “You’re brilliant, little sister. Don’t let one bad day convince you otherwise.”

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 ??

Cherik mini comic about Charles’ telepathy vaguely based off a fic I read while back where they had a similar conversation. I can’t find it now but if anyone can let me know 😢

Not a sad one! Kind of! Maybe I’ll make a sad one in the future. I need to go finish my homework now LOL but thank you everyone for the patience!

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.

Okay guys, I need to share my FAVORITE fanfiction of all time.

So, we all know that James McCavoy played Charles Xavier and Bill Denbrough (It). Well, imagine if the two characters were actually the same person ?

We go through the X-Men movies with Charles not remembering anything about Derry, and then, BAM he receives the call from Mike, telling him to come back to take care of Pennywise.

(And I love the fact that Charles is actually his middle name but he refuses to go by it)

Cherry on top ? It’s a Cherik fic with Moira being the best of friends (and a f*cking badass) 🤭

I’ve probably read it like 3 times since August and it is still my favorite fic ever !

Anyways, I don’t gatekeep, have fun !

I didn’t planned to cry but here we are 🥲

I've been thinking about the Paris Proposal lately.

I love it so much. In a time when Charles is so vulnerable and alone- Raven is dead, Jean is gone(?), he lost his place as headmaster of the school and leader of the x-men, and surely he assumes he's lost Erik long ago- Erik shows up and is so soft and gentle.

The best part? This line:

Throughout the series but particularly in Dark Phoenix, everyone that Charles loves interprets his intentions in the worst possible light. This movie is like, one long Charles whump; Raven accuses him of hiding in the mansion and taking the credit for the x-men's success, Hank cruelly blames him for Raven's death and turns on him after thirty years of friendship, and even Erik gets his licks in ("You're always sorry...but nobody cares anymore"!? ERIK!!!)

But then Erik shows up in Paris, and says "You saved my life, and you offered me a home."

I'm certain that in First Class, Erik didn't see it that way. Instead, he saw Charles making ultimatums and rejecting Erik entirely the moment Erik did something Charles didn't agree with (and we can all agree Charles didn't handle things well on that beach, but the truth is that he always, always forgives Erik and he always wants him back, even when he's upset with him)

Sometime over the last thirty years, Erik has reevaluated that time and come to the conclusion that- yes, Charles was offering him a home-not just a place to sleep and train and plot.

A home.

Somewhere you return to at the end of every day, regardless of what that day brought and whether you were the best or worst version of yourself, somewhere safe and accepting and loving.

After Charles has lost everything he cares about and is told he's selfish and dangerous and always has been, Erik shows up to convince him otherwise.

"You saved my life, and you offered me a home. I'd like to do the same for you."

Which, given all that context, sounds a lot like:

Two people with decades of grief and pain and anger between them seeing the love and good in each other at the end of it all.

Absolutely beautiful.

I need it so bad rn

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

Curently watching the last episode of Criminal Minds… (season 15)

This tv show is breaking my heart in little pieces again and again💔

How am I supposed to tell my mother that I'm not smiling over a conversation with a hypothetical boyfriend but over a fanfiction about a stupid hunter and his stupid angel ?
