i hold no respect for cherik fans who hate on moira
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 ??
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 !
In my Alex Summers feels tonight. Thinking about how when Sean said “he’s not going back to prison” after Darwin’s death, Alex barely reacted.
I wonder if Alex had already assumed that he’d be going back to prison if the whole mutant-CIA-team thing didn’t work out? I wonder how that affected the way he interacted with the others.
He got recruited out of prison by a government organization. The CIA basically owned him - they controlled his freedom, and now they knew he was a mutant, too. They could’ve done anything they wanted to him. Unless there was a really good conversation on the way from the prison to the compound, Alex had no reason to think that Charles or Erik or Moira would defend him from that.
And he gets put in a room full of other mutants, mostly around his age, recruited from their jobs or their homes, and they’re all having fun. I wonder if he felt bitter?
