Cherik Fanfiction Recs

A list-formatted selection of CharlesxErik fanfictions. By no means all encompassing, open to suggestions for anything you think I've missed or would like to be rec'd! Love L.J.

[cherikficreclists]

Hi !!! :D I search a fic where Charles met as children Erik and Raven and they will together. The problem is that Erik can't consider Charles as his brother. They still have their power. Can you help me ? Thank !

Not sure! But I think you want this one dear:

 Curve Fitting by kianspo

Summary: The weird thing is, Charles always introduces Raven as his sister, but he never calls Erik his brother. Erik would be bothered, except he prefers not to think of Charles as his brother, either. He can’t figure it out for four years, and then suddenly he can.

Or. A non-powered AU in which Sharon Xavier never remarries, and Charles 'adopts' not only Raven, but Erik too.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: some underage UST, mentions of violence, mentions of past child abuse (nothing graphic), mentions of recreational drug use. First time, plotty, Mature, 23,952 words.

My Opinion: I personally love this story, even if at times UST killed me and oh my babies!  It's worth a read.

[cherikficreclists]

Hi. Love your blog! I was wondering if there were any Harry Potter verse AU's? Thank you:)

I know a writer who has done one as a prompt and is considering a full-length so if you bug her, you may succeed but the prompt is here:

 Unnamed prompt by swoopswoop

Summary: Based on this prompt: HarryPotter!Au. With lil' Erik Lehnsherr (comes from a long bloodline of great wizards, all from Slytherin and so on) and lil' Charles Xavier, who does not know anything about the magic world, and is off to the first yeat in Hogwarts. Meeting in the train? Becoming friends, tho one is in Slytherin and the other one in Ravenclaw? Some drama aroung Voldemort, and his followers, OR JUST SOME CUTE FLUFFY STUFF, I DON'T CARE

Warnings/Rating/Word count: PG, Harry potter AU, 2,000~ words

My Opinion: It's cute ^^

 You Bring Me Right Back Down To The Promised Land by juurensha

Summary: In a world where Death Eater Shaw kills Erik's Muggle parents and takes him for experimentation, Erik manages to escape to the Xavier Mansion. Charles and Erik grow up together at the mansion and at Hogwarts, but Erik is still intent on hunting down his tormentor. HP AU, Erik/Charles.

Warnings/Rating/Word count:fluff, crossover, PG, 77,837 words

My Opinion:Not read it! But it sounds incredibly cute!

[cherikficreclists]

Submitted: Aoy ! Have you some “circus AU” in your pocket ? Or something like that ? You know, mutants as freaks show. Thank you so much, love your blog.

The only circus AU that springs to mind with me is this one: 

 Methamorphis by rusting_roses

Summary: When Charles Xavier first shows up at Erik Lensherr’s carnival sideshow, the last thing he’s expecting is someone like him. Charles is more than just the a spectator, however—he’s the leader of the legendary Butterfly Circus, and he’s about to change Erik’s life.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: ethnic slurs, language, PG, 12,300 words

My Opinion: I haven't read it but it was recommended to me by a trustworthy friend whose recommendation included: "It's lovely."

There is one I've seen a few times but not personally read because of the tags:

 Dead Man's Paradise by Yahtzee

Summary: Written for the XMFC Kink Meme, specifically this prompt: "Nazi hunter Erik Lernsharr is apprehended and sentenced to prison for the sheer trail of brutality and blood he left in his wake. But before he can be sent to prison, he's purchased by a Deadman Wonderland, the world's only privately owned prison come amusement park, where the prisoners are the entertainment.

If you're familiar with the show, basically the rules, brutality, and the like are the same. Except DW is run entirely by mutants, even if not all the prisoners are mutants, since mutants would need to be able to subdue other mutants. But mutants are also the most valuable form of entertainment, and hence the most valuable prisoners, especially the ones who are deadmen walking."

I'm wholly unfamiliar with the original "Deadman Wonderland" source, so I've just taken the core concepts and tried to fold it into this. Set in 1961 England. This also operates as my fill for the hc_bingo prompt "slaves."

Warnings/Rating/Word count: rape/dub-con, fuck or die, AU, slavery, powered AU, NC-17, 23,972 words

My Opinion:Like I said, haven't read but it's got a decent amount of kudos and it IS Yahtzee.

[cherikficreclists]

Bless you and your blog, it's wonderful. Good Boys and the zombie one were amazing. I'd like to ask if you've got recs for an evil!Charles, possibly possessed?

I can think of one in particular which has an evil/dark!Charles but it's not something I typically read so a few of these suggestions will be blind ones.

A Force to Be Reckoned With by firstlightofeos

Summary: “No, no, no!” Erik exclaims, slamming his glass forcefully back down onto the bar. “Telepathy is impressive in theory, but realistically, no one’s powerful enough, or has enough control, to make you forget yourself or to get you to do anything you don’t want to do.”

“You sound very sure about that,” his companion says, taking a sip of his scotch. He tilts his head and raises an eyebrow. “I wonder if you’ve ever really met a telepath before.”

Warnings/Rating/Word count: dub-con (but it’s consensual, ish) knifeplay, some blood play, some bondage, rimming, anal, oral, marathon sex, begging, forced orgasm, multiple orgasms.

My Opinion: I think the warnings say it all. It’s very .. um… Chares is very dominating in this. I like the ending and yeah… man do I feel dirty reccing this. I wouldn't say he's evil per-se more, dominating but open to interpretation.

 The World Waits For No Man by Kageillusionz

Summary: As soon as Charles is discharged from hospital post Cuba, all he wants is to be left alone to his own devices. The boys want to help and cheer him up but Charles begins to lock them out, neglects to take care of himself and begins drinking his woes away.

Emma pays him a surprise visit and then informs Magneto of Charles injury and the consequences that came with that one bullet. Magneto checks in on Charles, only to find Charles a bitter, defeated version of his younger chipper self, who feels there’s no point on fighting any more and who won’t listen anyone, not even Erik.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: dark!Charles, cuban missile crisis, suicidal thoughts, angst, alcoholism, bitterness, happy ending, Mature, 3668 words.

My Opinion: Haven't read it but I love Kage and they write well.

 The Tower and The Hurricane by dreamlittleyo

Summary:(Post-movie AU.) Five years after Shaw’s death, Erik’s predictions prove painfully accurate. Violence rages on both sides of the human/mutant conflict. In a world ravaged by war, it doesn’t really matter who’s more at fault. Charles struggles to teach his students a better way, but what choices will he make when peace really isn’t an option?

Warnings/Rating/Word count: NC-17, violence, angst, guilt, first time, Canon AU, 41,572 words.

My Opinion: Just, don’t talk to me okay. It was quite sweet at times but holy fuck the ending. And just. God this hurts to remember. I looked up my first response to reading this and it goes, “oh god it hurt. Just ow. I feel nothing but pain & if I couldn’t hear boyfriend snoring, then I would read another out of necessity. The pain!” Charles isn't necessarily evil more forced into doing something bad.

Treasure by professor

Summary: Knight Erik thinks he’s going to slay the dragon and take the beast’s treasure. He’s very, very wrong about that.

Warnings/Rating/Word count:  *Ahem* non-con, object insertion, double penetration, fisting, oral, anal, marathon sex, lactation kink, mpreg, crying, humiliation, interspecies sex, bathing, foot fetish, tails,

My Opinion: I feel so bad for reading this looking and writing those tags but damn it was good. Charles is a dragon, guys. He's kinda an evil dragon.

 After Hours by LustMonster

Summary: Charles and Erik are serial killers in their city that have been corresponding for years but never met.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: mind control, co-dependency, serial killers, mature content, 31,854 words (WARNING - WIP THAT HASN'T UPDATED SINCE 2012).

My Opinion: Not read it, but the serial killer thing made me think evil.

There is one other I can think on that's so sad I had to stop it but can't find it right now where Mystique tricks Charles into coming to help her but when he gets there Erik captures him so he doesn't get in the way while Erik does something really bad. If anyone knows this story please send me a message or something cause I remember Charles doing something rather bad but he was forced to it.

[cherikficreclists]

Hi! This blog is wonderful, especially for wide-eyed xmfc newbies stumbling around. (Like me!) So I'm wondering, do you know any fics involving bookshops/coffeeshops/tea parlours? Thank you!

Coffee shop AUs

Sorry it’s taken me so long dear! But there is a gold mine of coffee shop/book shop AUs out there

In Moonlight Joy Ride by scarlettblush

Summary: Librarian AU. Charles is the young librarian and Erik is the college student who is completely besotted with him.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Teen, 11,292 words

My Opinion: It’s adorable and I love every character. Even Shaw. If you want a badass Erik with piercings and a sweet, innocent Charles, well then. Enjoy!

New Beautiful Things Come by Raven(singlecrow)

Summary: Erik runs a kosher bakery. Charles comes in for baked goods. They play chess, eat meringues, people drop other people’s keys down the toilet, and there’s mutant performance art.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: modern setting, wheelchair, PG, 17,615 words.

My Opinion: It’s cute. I don’t know what it is about baker Erik that pulls me in so much. Huh. Something to think on. He plays with dough guys.

With Abandon by sunryder

Summary: The best part about Charles’ favorite bakery isn’t the location, and it isn’t the lovely smell, or even the Earl Grey cupcakes. It’s the Baker.

Erik Lehnsherr is a beautiful specimen of a man, particularly when his fussing over Charles takes the form of pastry.

Such a pity Charles doesn’t know Erik is an assassin.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: bakery, modern, Charles rules the world, 11,070 words, PG.

My Opinion: Raven gets angsty in this one, so it does stick true. I like the characterisations and Erik in general being protective. It’s lovely..

Paper Monsters by Clocks

Summary: Fill for this prompt: Charles meets Erik Lehnsherr, his favorite novelist of all time at a coffee shop, but doesn't know it's him, and Erik just criticizes his own writing in front of his biggest fan.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: clueless Charles, AU, non-powered, NC-17, 39,242 words.

My Opinion: It’s a coffee shop AU with hella high recommendations, I’ve just not gotten round to reading it yet though I trust that it is good.

Done To A T by ToDifferentToBeReal

Summary: An X-Men First Class AU in which Erik owns a restaurant.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: NC-17, 14,531 words

My Opinion: It was cute if memory serves right (it’s been a while since I read it) but it has a happy ending which is what matters.

645 Riverside by smilebackwards

Summary: Azazel clearly has yet to understand the shattering power of Charles’ disappointment, so Erik takes one for the team, grabbing the cup and downing the remnants of the cappuccino like a shot while Azazel watches with morbid fascination.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: coffee shop AU, modern setting, no powers, PG, 4924 words

My Opinion: Classic coffee shop AU, adorable as hell too :D

Put On A Slow, Dumb Show For You by cm(mumblemutter)

Summary: Charles owns a coffee shop, Erik is a corporate lawyer (and owns some really nice suits). Things get a bit hazy from there.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Hesits, mentions of killings, PG, 23,710 words.

My Opinion: It’s sweet and I like how Charles doesn’t take shit.

Order Up by ikeracity

Summary: Charles has a terrible habit of multitasking, and that is probably why he absentmindedly tells the pizza man that he loves him when hanging up.

Then the pizza man says it back. And Charles is pretty much smitten from there.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: phone calls, PG, 4349 words.

My Opinion: It’s cutesy and adorable and Sean is fabulous. Not quite what you asked for but too adorable not to not read

Meeting at the Chessboard by ninemoons42, papercutperfect

Summary: This is the story of how her Charles met my Erik; it’s a modern-day AU, with powers; Charles is the owner of a restaurant called the Chessboard and the leader of its all-mutant staff, while Erik is an engineer working at Frost Industries.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: modern, first time, NC-17, 16,031 words.

My Opinion: The children are perfect. I mean. GAH. And the cute. Oh my. Restaurant AU, similar ish to what you wanted.

Book Ends (Of Reading Between the Lines) by illiadeum(Zombias)

Summary: Charles is the owner of a book store, his best friend that he's known since high school is a cop who's recently been promoted, and, oh yeah, he's madly in love with him.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: modern setting, misunderstandings, NC-17, 12,399 words.

My Opinion: It’s been a while since I read it but I remember it being sweet and perhaps slightly awkward but not sure about that (:

HELLO FRIEND. HAVE YOU ANY CANON MPREG CHERIK FICS???

Well hello there! Mpreg happens to be my speciality! :)

Canon mpregs, you say? Most of these will take place as XMFC fix-its, fair warning, and well undoubtedly the most well known is this one:

What To Expect When You’re Not Expecting It by thehoyden

Summary: “I wasn’t hiding it from you. Honestly, I didn’t know for certain until yesterday, which I think we can agree was bad timing and not the sort of thing one springs before the heat of battle,” Charles says earnestly.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: mpreg, NC-17, 9,659 words.

My Opinion: This is the highest ranked (completed) m-preg for Cherik on Ao3 with a damn good reason. If you haven’t read it now, you need to.

A Logical Progression by cloudyjenn

Summary: Erik and Charles were only together once before doubt and fear ground their romance to a halt. But once was apparently all it took. Now Charles is dealing with a pretty crappy secondary mutation, a brand new career teaching mini-mutants and a stubbornly overprotective Erik. This is the story of how Charles and Erik got from Point A to Point B and what they collected along the way.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: m-preg, NC-17, 17,351 words.

My Opinion: It’s slow build and hurts at times but the ending is gorgeous. I recommend a read, I really do.

Family Life at The Xavier Mansion by Ashkevron

Summary: X men first class folowing the events of the film - beach divorce scene occurs. Charles is being overly hormonal, his powers are going haywire, and Erik is the father…

Warnings/Rating/Word count: m-preg, NC-17, 66,019 words.

My Opinion: Fair warning, it’s fairly poorly written but it does get better on later in it. The relationship between Charles and Erik makes me immensely happy and if you can struggle through the poor grammar, there is a good story.

Bad Guys Save The Day by ferretbaby

Summary: Total crack. How the ‘divorce’ could have been averted if Azazel and being pregnant worked in your favor. Also Charles is really pissed at Erik’s penis.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: mpreg, NC-17, 5,199 words.

My Opinion: I cackled through this one. I love it. It’s brill. Go. Read. Enjoy.

The Prodigal Son by Madd4the24

Summary: Realistically, Charles knew it was the least advantageous moment to suddenly remember his impending fatherhood. The Americans and Russians were moments away from inciting a new world war, and likewise, Erik himself seemed a split second from turning humanity against mutants forever. But the words were there without his permission, spilling from his lips in a desperate attempt to save Erik from his own madness, and Charles from the inevitable grief that would follow. So he said it. He shouted it. In one felled swoop he told Erik about the life growing inside of him. It was ridiculous and unbelievable and frightening, and Charles had done his best to ignore it up until that moment. But then, with the missiles moments away from destroying so many human lives, Charles recognized the life inside him for what it was. Grasping at straws he told Erik they’d created a child. There was a baby to consider now, equal parts theirs. Pretending the baby was anything but, was no longer an option.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: angst, abandonment, mpreg, Mature, 89,605 words.

My Opinion: Personally, this is a tad too bittersweet for me, but if that’s your cup of tea, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this one.  It took me two read throughs to notice the happy ending in there.

Something Yet To Learn by orphan_account

Summary: Charles said the only thing he could think of to make Erik stop from killing the humans. He didn’t even think it work but somehow it did. Now things are a lot different then they were suppose to go, but at least he has Erik by his side.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: mpreg, NC-17, 10,714 words.

My Opinion: Funny at times, thoroughly enjoyed it, nice ending. It will make you smile. Problem being the writing style/grammar isn’t that great but by no means is it unreadable!

I can Honestly Admit I Never Expected That by swoopswoop

Summary: Erik didn’t only leave Charles on the beach.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: hurt/comfort, heartache, m-preg, Teen Audiences, 15,183 words.

My Opinion: I really like the unexpected plot twist in this one, I won’t spoil it but it’s emotionally invested for something so short and the author has written a few mpregs, this is one of my favourites of them.

What Can We Do Without You? By swoopswoop

Summary: Charles and the boys were holding onto a secret more dear to them than their own lives when Charles disappears into the night; Erik is betrayed and finds himself returning to Westchester in the hopes that the government was just trying to trick him. All the while the boys are stuck in the middle, left guarding the secret from the man they are most afraid of finding out who is weaselling his way back into their lives alarmingly easily.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: m-preg, imprisonment, torture, kidnapping, NC-17, 111,355 words.

My Opinion: It’s really not as dark as the tags make it sound, and with the length it’s well spread out. You find yourself yelling for Erik to hurry up and find out but the emotional build up is strong and the relationships between minor characters made me smile. A good read, albeit a long one.

An Earlier Heaven by Regann

Summary: In the wake of Cuba, Charles and his students are ready to pick up the pieces and work toward achieving Charles’s dream of a safe haven for young mutants. Those plans, however, take a surprising turn thanks to a very unexpected complication. As he slowly builds a future for his students and for his child, Charles struggles with the loss of Erik and the secrets he’s willing to keep to protect his family, but those strides are shattered when Erik makes a startling reappearance into his life. [mpreg, kidfic, ensemble]

Warnings/Rating/Word count: m-preg, Teen Audiences, 67,420 words

My Opinion: It gets a touch angsty at times but it really is a lovely story. I’m rather keen on m-pregs though so I am biased. I loved it so much.

[cherikficreclists]

To those of you asking about JacAvoy85 Fics

I know that there is a compilation here by the awesome X-men: First Class Fanfiction blog!

But I'm just linking to the ones I've been sent by very many awesome people!

Claimed:  “So, ‘Charles’ is it?” Erik Lehnsherr said as he ran a finger down the brunet’s chest- -his hands bound and tied up by the headboard, gag in mouth. “You shouldn’t have run from me Charles,” he chided his omega. “You knew I’d find you.”

Another One Where Charles is 18 and Erik 26: Poor, poor poor Raven--Again I make her suffer through trying to keep Charles and Erik apart. This time though, it is Erik who is her older brother, and Charles is her young friend that she so desperately tries to keep away from him. Also, she fails.

How To Stop a Wedding By Erik Lehnsherr: “So,” Erik said as he looked down at the cup of coffee in his hand, “when you and Moira have sex,” he looked up, “do you get it in the right hole?” “Goodbye Erik,” Charles said as he went to stand, but Erik just reached out and grabbed Charles’ wrist again. “Just…sit down Charles…I’m sorry,” Erik said as he pulled the smaller man back into his seat. Sighing, Charles flopped back down into the cafés chair. “What do you want Erik?” “Charles,” Erik drew out, “you can’t marry her.”

~~~~~~

Hope this helps anyone still left searching! If anything doesn't work, please tell me!

[cherikficreclists]

Any Cherik FanFics That feature Charles being kidnapped? (Maybe by Shaw?) Thank you Xx

Sorry for being slow guys! It's exam season:

Okay so some of these get quite dark, which is understandable, so if you want more fluffy ones like the last two - just let me know!

It’s like one of us woke up by kaydeefalls

Summary: "You came here for me," Charles said, meeting Shaw's gaze levelly. "So let's not waste any more time."

Canon!AU in which Charles and Erik do find Shaw in Russia.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Canon AU, captivity, H/C, PG, 25,293 words

My Opinion: As asked for Shaw specifically kidnaps Charles and XMFC goes AU from Russia. It’s well written and I love Piotr in this. Artwork too!

Blood And Steels And Miles Between by dreamlittleyo

Summary: (Post-movie AU.) On a beach in Cuba, Charles manages to talk Erik down from the edge. But even after the missiles have been diverted, compromise is impossible. There are two different futures to build, and Erik and Charles will always be separated by their principles. But when Charles is kidnapped and the X-Men can't find him, Erik will get him back no matter the consequences.

Meanwhile, trapped alone in his mind for the first time in his life, Charles comes face to face with the truth about what and who he wants. When convictions stand in direct opposition to the heart, which will prevail?

Warnings/Rating/Word count:  Explicit sexual content, consent issues, medical experimentation, post xmfc, NC-17, 29464 words.

My Opinion: I’ve fairly confident that this is bittersweet. Like – it’s in my notes as being so, tread lightly. But for me bittersweet can mean Erik and Charles just not staying together sooo I’m biased. Well written though! And artwork!

Bedroom Tour by Ook

Summary: Charles stopped, in the doorway of the room Erik was showing him, and refused to move further. “Problem, Tourist?” he said, amused. “You liked the art galleries.” “That’s a bedroom. Why are you showing me a bedroom.” Charles said, flatly.

 This is very dark. Extremely dark. This is a story of a sadist (Erik) and his chosen project (Charles); with an ambigous ending. Warnings are placed at the begining of every chapter.

Reader: be welcome, be happy... and beware!

Warnings/Rating/Word count: too many to state but, very dark!Erik, non/con, rape, Stockholm syndrome, torture, NC-17 like woah, 24361 words.

My Opinion: I couldn’t finish it. It’s dark and mentally tormenting and whilst it isn’t Shaw you almost wish it was so someone would be there to rescue Charles.

 Shaw’s Captive by swoopswoop

Summary: Magneto killed Shaw, it had to be done for the sake of mutant-kind but what he wasn’t expecting to find hidden deep with Shaw’s complex was a man held captive, obviously tortured, that somehow made Magneto turn into Erik.

Erik now has a potential human in his citadel as he continues the war with the human’s.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: war, torture, abduction, rape/non-con, depictions of torture, hurt/comfort, protective!Logan, Erik and Raven, NC-17, 68,524 words.

My Opinion: Genosha set-up where there is a full-scale world war mutants vs humans. Charles starts off in Shaw's grasp and *SPOILER* gets taken again. *Spoiler end*

Incy WIncy Spider by Tawabids

Summary: Erik Lehnsherr is a renowned homicide detective, with his husband Charles at home and his partner on the job, Moira MacTaggert. When a twisted serial killer starts targeting mutants, Erik and Moira are the perfect team for the job, especially since Erik himself is the mutant poster-boy of an NYPD trying to improve their image.

But what they don’t yet know is that the serial killer is an old soul out of Erik’s past, and his next move is to pull Charles into his web.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: torture, serial killer, kidnapping, homophobia, mentions of suicide, NC-17, 40,478 words.

My Opinion: IT’s a good story but personally I didn’t like it because there aren’t many Charles and Erik scenes (which makes sense) but I need more for a good cherik story. Still I’m reccing it for those who don’t need that.

Charles’ Shaw by Cesare and helen78

Summary: This is one of many branches of our Bound and Determined D/s-everywhere soulbonding universe, in which Charles and Erik are bonded.

In the primary B&D verse, their bond is interrupted when they're still teenagers, after mutantphobia lands Erik in the hands of experimental bond therapist Sebastian Shaw.

In this variation, Charles is the one who ends up in Shaw's hands.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: AU- Soul mates, modern setting, forced relationship, underage and rape non-con, suicide, murder, NC-17, 14867 words

My Opinion: I haven’t read it. The tags scare me and I’ve not read B&D and feel I should do that first but as it is Shaw having taken Charles hostage, I feel you should be rec’d this. It’s helen78 so I trust the writing.

Deep Cover by Subtilior

Summary: Omegas in heat? The perfect whores. Sebastian Shaw? The bastard who kidnaps them for his Hellfire Club. Erik Lehnsherr? A hard-boiled detective who's been on the Hellfire case for months. The catastrophe that unfolds when he goes in on retrieval and finds Charles Xavier still writhing in a Hellfire bed? .... Deep Cover.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: alpha/omega, mating, heats, prostitution, angst, mpreg, knotting, rape/non-con, graphic depictions of violence, drinking, smoking, NC-17, 41,541 words

My Opinion: Watch what you are getting into because graphic and choose your own ending and even the ‘nicest one’ is bittersweet! But it’s Shaw holding Charles hostage and compellingly well-written even if it made me doubt myself substantially.

Days Go By by Caradee

Summary: Charles felt his stomach drop; he backed into the mirror behind him, feeling the cool glass against the nape of his neck. “You’re going to keep me here?”

“For nine months,” Shaw nodded, “I believe its best, don’t worry my dear you and your child will be taken care of completely.”

---

A Kink Meme fill where Shaw discovers Charles' secondary mutation and keeps the Professor in his care for the duration of the pregnancy.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: mpreg, captivity, slight Stockholm syndrome, Charles/Shaw, non-con, humiliation, Nc-17, 11800 words

My Opinion: I haven’t read it but I’ve seen it in passing a fair few times and if you can stomach the side pairing, go for it!

 And now for some lighter kidnappings! 

The Masked Man (Who Has Everything) by Traincat

Summary: The one where Erik is Batman, and Charles is kidnapped roughly once a week.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Kidnap, Batman!AU, Mature, 8,106 words           

My Opinion: Not Shaw stealing Charles but it’s worth reading for the hilarity. It’s really an excellent fic.

Is It Too Much to Ask by Unforgotten

Summary: As often as Erik has kidnapped Charles over the past few years, and as many glorious opportunities as have presented themselves, it is both surprising and appalling that they still haven't fucked yet.

Or: five times Charles and Erik didn't have sex, plus one time they did.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Crack, 5+1, canon disable character, humour, Mature content, 2841 words.

My Opinion: A much lighter kidnapping, cute (:

[cherikficreclists]

Thank you so much for managing this and taking the time to help fellow cherik lovers! I was hoping you could rec me fics where Emma and Charles are friends (or friendly.) I've read a few (Frosted Hearts and one where they work together at Charles mutant only business), but I would love to find some more!

There are a few! A couple of my favourites too:

Omega Online by miss_aphelion

Summary: Newly imprinted Charles is having trouble dealing with his overly protective alpha—so in desperation he seeks advice in an omega chat room. Emma Frost is more than happy to help, Raven isn’t helping at all, and Erik can’t stand to be out of touch with Charles for more than five minutes at a time.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: alpha/omega, Teen Audiences, 12,007 words.

My Opinion: It’s funny. Emma is just beautiful in this one, if I'm honest.

All The King’s Man by Pookaseraph

Summary: In an effort to get out from under the thumb of his step-father, Charles chooses to become a courtesan for several minor nobles in King Erik’s court. It is not long before he attracts the eye of the young king, and the Cardinal who holds the young king’s ear. Charles spends months working to secure his place as King Erik’s favorite and to regain his father’s title of Merchant Prince. Charles hopes to disprove the old adage that once you enter the king’s bed, you have nowhere to go but down.

A historical AU with alpha/omega dynamics (no heat). Not nearly as dark as the warnings might make it sound.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: attempted rape, m-preg, regency AU, violence, imprisonment, courteseans, lots of sex, alpha/beta dynamics, dubious consent, NC-17, 64,123

My Opinion:  The tags make it sound darker than it is, the character build is fantastic, you really understand where they’re coming from and it’s so deep at the end. I could have read more. Honestly. I read this one quite often and if it’s your thing, you should. Warnings for Charles having sex with other characters (including Emma), if you’re not into that, you can pretend it’s not happening. I do. But Charles and Emma really are working together and it's lovely.

Utility Belts and Elbow Patches by captainkoirk

Summary: Erik wishes being a hit man was half as glamourous as it’s cracked up to be.

Maybe then he wouldn’t be stuck crawling through a ventilation system at fuck o’ clock in the morning on a Sunday, breathing recycled air and missing the tail end of that Criminal Minds marathon.

Erik makes a mental note to get a fucking TiVo. What kind of assassin doesn’t have TiVo?

Warnings/Rating/Word count: criminals, modern setting, NC-17, 24,245 words. Watch for side pairings.

My Opinion: Sorry but I have a weakness for Charles being less than moral. I love this story, the back and forth and everyone’s involvement. I really really recommend you give this a read. It's got Emma and Charles being friends also side pairing warning for Emma/Moira but non-graphic.

Taken By His Majesty by Pookaseraph

Summary: Erik’s mission was simple, sneak into the Celtic pretender king’s tent, assassinate him, and return to Rome with his father’s honor restored. Unfortunately, he didn’t count on Charles. When the prince chooses to take him as his personal slave, Erik feared the worst, and his concerns weren’t entirely unwarranted. The worst, however, turns out to be falling in love with the greatest enemy of Rome’s primacy in Briton. A historical romance set during the early days of Rome’s occupation of Briton.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: slavery, dubious consent, injury, NC-17, 17,759 words.

My Opinion: Well set, well-written, well-paced. I just loved it. Not so much Charles and Emma interaction BUT that said, she is Charles' mother so.

Sorry there aren't more but I didn't want to keep you waiting too long & if anyone wants me to add to the list or I think of any other's, I'll tack them on!

[cherikficreclists]

Hi! Can you rec your best explicit fics set during the "finding the mutants" segment of first class? Also do you know any (also explicit) fics where Erik and Charles are kind of like fuck buddies or have casual sex before it gets serous? (Also preferably first class) thanks! Love Your page!!

Okay so three immediately sprung to mind with that description:

 Good Boys by zamwessell(greencarnation)

Summary:  Charles has always been a good boy.

Warnings/Rating/Word count:first time, road trip, 1960s, NC-17, 34,997 words

My Opinion: the description doesn't give you much but it's basically Erik slowly working on Charles through the duration of xmfc (mainly roadtrip) and getting him to let go of the illusion he needs to be heterosexual and stuff. So basically you've got Erik seducing Charles and then things get heated. I like it! Fits probably the most with your description.

Awakenings by fanfoolishness(LoonyLupin), LoonyLupin

Summary: Erik and Charles discover new insights into each other's abilities, even as Erik tries to hide his attraction to Charles. Charles doesn't make it easy for him.

Warnings/ratings/word count: time-travel, implied mentions of genocide (pre-story), NC-17, 12,882 words (part 1)

My opinion: I feel this is mainly what you were asking for, a fall in love type fic set during the road trip. I like it but it’s not the best written on this list.

 Hollow Minds and Dead Souls by helen78

Summary: When Charles and Erik take a portable version of Cerebro out to New Mexico as part of their mutant recruiting trip, they aren't expecting to find out the town's falling victim to an epidemic. But things are far worse than they seem, because this is no ordinary virus. Will Charles and Erik find their way home in time to help save the world... from zombies?

Warnings/Rating/Word count: zombies, gore, first time, a bit of horror, zombie apocalypse, NC-17, 54,163 words

My Opinion: A bit of a deviation for what you were asking but it’s set during a roadtrip and has them falling in love and damn this is well-written, I mean everyone should read this one.

  Okay so these are more road-trip PWPs

 Trip and Stumble by doctorcakery

Summary: He was honestly surprised that Erik decided to stay. Taking a look at his mind didn’t mean he knew the man, and he’d carefully kept his thoughts to himself after their talk the night before, wondering as he went to bed what the next morning would bring.

Apparently it’s travelling across the country with an angry, dangerous, German metal-bender. Life is fascinating.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: road trip, NC-17, 2715 words

My Opinion: My notes for this fic were "roadtrip porn, tastefully done."

 By Way of Pain by UtterlySorbine

Summary:

It wasn’t till they got back to the hotel, and he was watching Charles gingerly clean the blood from his split lip, that Erik finally broached the subject.

“Did you enjoy that?”

Warnings/Rating/Word count: BDSM, fight, punching, painplay, roadtrip, NC-17, 2,501 words

My Opinion: Okay so this is basically road trip smut but for anyone into the painplay stuff.

 Climate Control by Lolafiest

Summary: Charles needs a little help winding down after they discover Angel.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Explicit, 2049 words

My Opinion: Cute cute for a pwp.

 Does It Feel Like This When by helen78

Summary: Erik keeps everything -- body, mind -- under wraps, leaving Charles no choice but to find other outlets for his desires. When those desires cut a little too close to home, though, everything comes out into the open.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: rough sex, jealousy, angry sex, Charles/other than Erik smut, NC-17, 16,800 words

My Opinion: Very possessive Erik, like woah. See because Charles doesn’t get the feeling from Erik that Erik wants him he finds randomers and you can imagine what that does to Erik….

This is not 100% what you asked for (smut isn’t super explicit but… road trip fall in lovingness)

Timeline by Unforgotten

Summary: After Magneto of an X2-ish future succeeds in the unthinkable, Charles sends his consciousness back to 1962 to guide Erik away from the path that will lead to the genocide of the human race forty years hence.

Charles knows that Erik has always loved him, and intends to use this knowledge + sex to seduce Erik away from his ideals in his youth.

There’s no way this well-thought-out, sensible, debugged and 100% bulletproof plan can possibly go wrong.

Warnings/ratings/word count: time-travel, implied mentions of genocide (pre-story), NC-17, 12,882 words (part 1)

My opinion: Techichally a series, the first part called Replay, it’s the perfect fix-it. It’s not major explicit smut or anything but  the story is beautiful.

[cherikficreclists]

Any Frank (2014) aus out there?? I saw one but I can't find it

I found one!

 Bobblehead by cesare

Summary:

Inspired by artwork and a plot idea by Palalife based on Michael Fassbender's upcoming film Frank. Originally two ficlets posted here and here on Tumblr.

Max's lyrics are largely taken from the writings of Carl Jung.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: AU modern setting, human, PG, 3,614 words (WIP with 2 chapters last updated 27/02/2013)

If anyone can find any more please feel free to add them on or message me about them!

[cherikficreclists]

hello again! Thank you for answering me the other time, i loved the fics! :33 Wouldn't have found "i just called to say" if it weren't for you! Do you know some cherik fics with kind of like fairy tale vibes? Like the Between the Shadow and the Soul :)

Okay! Fairy tale themed Cherik fics!

 Tale as Old as Time by Madneo

Summary:

Charles is a bibliophile living with his stepbrother in a remote village. Erik is a lonely prince with an affliction he doesn't know how to control. Logan is the greatest hunter in the whole world.

Pretty much what it says on the tin. If you've seen Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" you know pretty much exactly what you're getting into. Lots of fluff.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: minor violence, NC-17, still have powers, 44,662 words

My Opinion: It's really very good. And a beauty and the beast AU! what more could you ask for? It's rather close to the disney story (cept the ending) so it sometimes is predictable, but it's a great story so you want to read it.

 Hold Your Own, Stack Your Stones by primetime

Summary:

Erik cleared his throat, still refusing to look down. He started over. “Charles Francis Xavier, you have been charged by Her Majesty’s will and under her seal with the crimes of identity theft, falsification of orientation, and illegal and fraudulent entry into Her Majesty’s service.”

Mulan AU.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Mulan AU, some violence, Mature content, 10,374 words.

My Opinion: First thing - it's tagged as alpha/omega but in text written as dom/sub - though the dom/sub relationship is like that of alpha/omega. It picks up at the part where Ping (Erik) finds out Mulan (Charles) is a women (submissive/omega) and goes from there ^^. I like it a lot.

 A Curious Carriage of Crystal and Cold by Etharei

Summary:

Charles, a miner from a poor village in the countryside, saves the life of Erik Lehnsherr, scion of a successful business family and the richest man on the planet Eisen. Charles is a telepath and somewhat anxious about it, while Erik abstains from relationships because the lights flicker and doors open and electronics vibrate when he gets too excited.

Also featuring a long-suffering sister, a foul-mouthed bodyguard, and a best friend with a heart that is definitely not gold.

In which there are princes, spaceships, long journeys, and old secrets uncovered. (An AU sci-fi fairytale)

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Sci-Fi, spaceships, planets, class differences, still have powers, mutant-only disease. NC-17, 114,223 words.

My Opinion: A very different take on the fairy tale trope! It's set in space! And it's really well written, there are pictures too but it's really very long. Whilst I loved it, I got to a part where I angsted a lot and couldn't force myself to read on, but if someone finishes it, tell me if it's safe, okay?

 What Happens Next is Up to You by winterhill

Summary: Originally for a kinkmeme prompt that asked for an AU of Ursula LeGuin’s story The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, in which a prosperous city flourishes because of the abuse of one child. Inhabitants of the city are shown the horrifically imprisoned child when they come of age, and they make the choice to stay, knowing what their happiness and prosperity is founded upon, or they walk away and leave the city and its secret behind. The prompter asked for Charles to be the child, and for Erik to take him away. Set some time after this occurs, and reconfigured for the X-Men Fairy Tales challenge on LJ, in that it contains significant elements of the myth in which a character meets a traveller or travellers on the road, who later turn out to be angels or other supernatural beings.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: fable, story-telling, Raven's POV, PG, 5002 words.

My Opinion: It's very nice in a smooth, takes you back toy childhood stories, kinda way and is a little open to interpretation.

 Urban Legend by toestastegood

Summary: They say that if you stand in front of a mirror and say his name three times Magneto will appear. Charles has never believed in urban legends and he's never been capable of turning down a dare.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: urban legends, demons, ambiguous ending?, Mature content, 10,322.

My Opinion: Not so much a fairy tale as a Grimm's fairly tale, if you get me?  I'm still a little unsure about the ending.. it freaked me at times. Very good, highly recommend.

 More Than All The World (The Werewolf's Tale) by luninosity

Summary:An Erik/Charles story very loosely based on Marie de France’s 12th-century French werewolf tale, in which Erik is the man transformed into a wolf (he’ll get changed back by the end, it’s not that kind of story, though they very definitely do fall in love) and Charles is a king and eventually there’s a happy ending. Also, a villain’s nose gets bitten off.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: werewolves, powers, medieval, historic setting, past abuse mentions, happy ending, NC-17, 52,518 words.

My Opinion: Luni! I love you.

 Crescent Caves by swoopswoop

Summary: When a strange illness takes hold of the Queen, she orders her best sorcerer and best guard on a mission deep into the wilderness.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: magic, adventure, dragons, PG, 19,647 words.

My Opinion: Kinda a fantasy quest with an ill Queen and magic and dragons, oh my! ^^

 The Changeling Prince by Regann

Summary: While seeking help to break a magical curse, a soldier named Erik finds himself trying to solve the mystery of a young prince's illness, a task that leads him deeper into the fickle world of the fae than he ever imagined. (Fairytale AU)

Warnings/Rating/Word count: PG, fantasy, 18,460 words.

My Opinion: Ohh I like it.

Hope this tides you over for a bit! Thanks for asking!

[cherikficreclists]

Hello! Could you recommend mpreg!Erik fics please? Your posts are so helpful for my cherik life. Thank you and keep it up!

Okay - so my straight up comment is there are a lot less mpreg!Erik's than there are mpreg!Charles' and if you want any mpreg!Charles there's a list here

Mpreg!Erik:

Treasure by professor

Summary: Knight Erik thinks he’s going to slay the dragon and take the beast’s treasure. He’s very, very wrong about that.

Warnings/Rating/Word count:  *Ahem* non-con, object insertion, double penetration, fisting, oral, anal, marathon sex, lactation kink, mpreg, crying, humiliation, interspecies sex, bathing, foot fetish, tails,

My Opinion: I mean probably not the best starting point as this fic is just ... it's crack. I feel so bad for reading this looking and writing those tags but damn it was good. Charles is a dragon, Erik's a knight. There's a not-quite sequel by afrocurl called ever after and it's a continuation.

 Your Baby is My Supermagnet (My Baby is Your Drug) by unforgotten

Summary:After Cuba, Erik and Charles are BOTH pregnant. Months later, the babies manifest in utero, making pregnancy that much more awkward for Charles - but dangerous for Erik.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: crack, humour, angst, fix-it, canon disabled character, power swap, mature content, 49,110 words.

My Opinion: It's cute and cracky but I love the author's style.

 Nightcap by cesare

Summary:

“You’re not, I hope, going to tell me that you’re pregnant,” says Erik.

“No,” Charles answers patiently. “If I were, you might have noticed some unusual behavior, like mood swings, sleeplessness, food cravings...”

This now has an adorable fanart doodle by Palalife!

Warnings/Rating/Word count: mpreg, humour, PG, 604 words

My Opinion: Short and sweet really :) Also inspired "Midnight Snack (The Robe And Slippers Remix)" by helen78 and they are very similar stories

 Strange things out there in that deep blue sea by professor

Summary:

The ultimate crackfic of ultimate destiny: a.k.a. the one where tentacle!Charles knocks up wereshark!Erik with sharktopus babies. Erik is less than thrilled with being Octomom.

Now with bonus chapter!

Warnings/Rating/Word count: crack, tentacles, wereshark, octopus, tentacle sex, Mature content, 1180 words.

My Opinion: .... I'm just going to leave this here, kay? I think the summary pretty much lays everything out...

 August by Red

Summary:

For the XMFC kinkmeme, in response to a prompt asking for an mpreg story with some genetics thrown in the mix. While non-mutant couples may be able to conceive a mutant or a non-mutant child, for a couple with two mutants, there's a twenty-five percent chance of a third option: a fatal presentation of the mutant gene. Erik found out years ago that he was one of a number of (relatively cisgendered? this is an odd thing for me to be typing) mutant guys who have the secondary mutation of A Uterus. He'd also been told--years ago, but less so than the last statement--that he was infertile. He and Charles have been on the waiting list for adopting a mutant kid, but when morning sickness sets in, Erik can't exactly celebrate his sudden ability to get pregnant until he's ruled out that twenty-five percent chance.

Cue hiding a pregnancy from a telepath husband, dealing with Dr. MacTaggert's meddling, and trying to avoid the relentless well-wishing of the police department's esteemed Mutant Affairs Division.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: Modern AU, powered, mpreg, medical procedures, married couple, established relationship, mutant rights, canon disabled character, sex, abortion, postpartum depression, childbirth, childhood sexual abuse, rape/non-con, NC-17, 31,242 words.

My Opinion: Non-crack! Promise!

[cherikficreclists]

I want to drown in h/c! Give me all your most painful fics!

Oh, so plan on taking me down with you, do you?

Fine! I will suffer the pain of remembering these fics.

 The Tower and The Hurricane by dreamlittleyo

Summary:(Post-movie AU.) Five years after Shaw's death, Erik's predictions prove painfully accurate. Violence rages on both sides of the human/mutant conflict. In a world ravaged by war, it doesn't really matter who's more at fault. Charles struggles to teach his students a better way, but what choices will he make when peace really isn't an option?

Warnings/Rating/Word count: NC-17, violence, angst, guilt, first time, Canon AU, 41,572 words.

My Opinion: Just, don't talk to me okay. It was quite sweet at times but holy fuck the ending. And just. God this hurts to remember. I looked up my first response to reading this and it goes, "oh god it hurt. Just ow. I feel nothing but pain & if I couldn’t hear boyfriend snoring, then I would read another out of necessity. The pain!"

 Shout It Out Loud by dreamlittleyo

Summary: (Movie-Concurrent AU.) When Charles forges a telepathic link between himself and Erik, the two men find themselves bound together by more than just destiny. With the world on the brink of war, Charles and Erik struggle to cope with a psychic connection that may well be permanent.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: psychic bond, telepathy, dream sex, canon, NC-17, 30402 words.

My Opinion: I mean this one hurts mainly because it follows canon and that just sucks. It can be sweet at times though.

 The Attempt by Yahtzee

Summary:

Written for the following prompt: Charles knows everything about Erik, knows how obsessive and self-destructive he is, how Erik would do anything, give anything, in his quest for vengeance against Shaw. But he also knows that Erik loves him in ways that aren't exactly platonic.

I'd like to see a completely straight!Charles, out of pure love and care of Erik, initiate a romantic relationship with him. It can be because he wishes to give Erik something positive in his life or because he thinks it might help change Erik's mind about Shaw, the reason is up to author. Also, while Charles finds intimacy with Erik strange and awkward, he does enjoy the new, non-romantic layers that have developed in their relationship.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: first time, awkwardness, NC-17, 15811 words.

My Opinion: This hurts in a bittersweet type of way but aside from that I really loved it.

Now, I have to apologise because I won't touch major character death or really painful things with a barge pole, so I've not read these, but I'm gathering they're heart-breaking:

 Everyday Love in Stockholm by tahariel

Summary:

Prompt: Magneto is the ruler of the posthuman world.

His only secret? Charles Xavier, the human he's kept locked in his bedroom ever since his right-hand woman, Mystique, came to him pleading for mercy for her stepbrother, who accepted her mutant form and protected her as a child. The human he started fucking after Mystique was killed in battle, despite the guilt he feels at contaminating even this last promise to the woman who was integral to his life's work and happiness.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: dub-con, captivity, stockholm syndrome, mutant rights, mutant revolution, unrequited love, NC-17, 132,093 words.

My Opinion: This has been recommended to me by friends and the only reason I haven't read it is that I can't do pain like this.

Nine Elven Ten by Subtilior

Summary: Years later, Charles would remember that day. Sometimes he would wonder if he could have changed anything; other times he would despair over what he had since become. But he would always hold the image in his mind: Raven, laughing, and his thoughts flying alongside her on strong wings, silver-gold through the winter air. Once upon a time.

More details, if desired, here. (Spoilers.)

Warnings/Rating/Word count: dystopia, violence, dub-con, telepathy, torture, psychological torture, abuse, war crimes, nuclear winter, recreational drug use, anti-Semitism, holocaust denial, nightmares, NC-17, 496,910 words + (WORK IN PROGRESS)

My Opinion: I mean I've not read it but I gather it hurts a lot, that's actually why I CAN'T read it. Pain hurts too much.

AND BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT - HERE ARE SOME HURT/COMFORT FICS

 These Cindered Bones by swoopswoop

Summary: Erik gets attacked by something unknown and when his health starts to decline, has no choice but turn to the x-men for help after seven years of separation.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: illness, post xmfc, angst, h/c, Mature content, 36,676 words.

My Opinion: It hurts a lot, I know multiple people brought to tears, but there's comfort in there too.

The Waste Land by nekomuse

Summary: The White Queen and her Shadow King sit on their throne, safe behind the psionic shields of the Walled City. The armies of Genosha batter uselessly at the gates, a war locked in stalemate. Magneto, camped in the frozen mud, receives word the Citadel intends to send a telepath to the front lines. The same telepath he met two years ago, who sat across a carved wooden chess set and offered Magneto the first friendly smile in a lifetime. The same telepath who still haunts his dreams.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: genocide, violence, war setting, psychological torture (and boy does that get to you), mind rape, rape/non-con, UST, NC-17 (no Charles-Erik sex), 75,996 words.

My Opinion: I remember falling in love with this one.

Paralyzer by Yahtzee

Summary: In 1965, Erik Lehnsherr has infiltrated the NYPD for his own purposes — but his powers make him a brilliant detective. Yet that’s not why FBI agent Charles Xavier has sought him out. It’s because the mysterious killer they’re both trying to find is murdering people like them: other mutants.

Their search for a madman binds them together. Their inner demons may tear them apart. But the greatest danger comes when the killer they’re looking for looks back …

Warnings/Rating/Word count: 1960s, police, serial killers, first time, homophobia, attempted rape, sexual assault, NC-17, 43,521 words.

My Opinion: This is a very invested read. I mean, don’t take it lightly. You will get involved and you will feel the compulsion to keep going till it’s finished. It’s not nice in parts but it’s damn well written.

I do like this but my feels, just Erik is perfect and urgh. It’s a good read.

[cherikficreclists]

Could you rec me some animal aus?

Okay, so in my personal opinion, the most amazing of all animal AUs is an animal transformation fic:

Humane Society by smilebackwards

Summary: Once Erik finally allows himself to decide that Charles is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread, he spends the next week being incredibly bitter that he’s Charles’ cat and not his boyfriend.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: animal transformation, modern setting, Mature, 10,014 words.

My Opinion: Holy fuck. I love this so much. It’s wonderful. It’s explained as well, not just wand-waved and I love the ending, really. Charles is adorable *smushes him in massive hug*

Sitz! By Unforgotten

Summary: Erik gets turned into a doberman.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: animal transformation, kidfic, fix-it, canon disabled character, Mature and 5495 words.

My Opinion: I laughed. Of course if Erik got turned into a Doberman he’d end up getting Charles a ticket. It’s fabulous and happy and yay.

But for specific, just animals AUs:

 Little Birds by winterhill

Summary:Bird AU. Erik is a lone kestrel on a mission to destroy the great golden eagle who killed his mother. Charles is an abandoned pet dove with no fear and a dream of making a place where the little birds can fly free. They don’t quite want the same thing, but together they’ll change the world.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: PG, bird AU, 35,995 words

My Opinion:. I personally haven't read this BUT it was recommended to me by a friend and as such here is their rec, "Hey, remember the AU where Erik was a shark and Charles a dolphin? This is actually more sane than that, with a plot even, but they're birds."

 Jaws by qikiqtarjuaq

Summary:Written for the kinkmeme prompt for shark!Erik and dolphin!Charles, answering the question on every X-Men fan's mind: What would the XMFC movie be like if Charles and Erik were marine animals?

Warnings/Rating/Word count: PG, dolphin and Shark, 3048 words

My Opinion:It's sweet in it's own way. Utter crack too, but that's the general theme with animal AUs.

Okay so I also need to mention the shifter!verse

Shifter ‘verse (Rat and Shark) by Macx

Summary: Erik Lehnsherr was born different. He was one of the Cursed. He was a shark, a trained killer, a weapon created by Sebastian Shaw. And he was a loner — until Charles Xavier stepped into his life and followed him home. Erik had no idea who and what Charles really was, aside from annyoing and irritating and so adorable. But he is about to find out.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: animal transformation, still have powers, first time, hurt/comfort, and many more depending on how far in the series you get. Mature, 7,428 words (part 1) or 69,984 words overall (so far)

My Opinion: It’s an on-going series that I’ve not read all of yet. I like the relationships, particularly the jealousy in part 2. Sometimes I was a bit confused as to what the hell was happening but then it made sense in the end. I’m just not used to such crack. It’s lovely though, I recommend giving it a go.

Hope this helps!

[cherikficreclists]

Hello! Do you know of any really good deaged!Erik fanfics? Thanks, and I love this blog :)

Wow ^^ two asks like this, so I'll do them both now.

There are 3 that spring to mind:

 Protective Instinct by Groovyhornbill

Summary: Charles and Erik were testing Cerebro’s new prototype when things went very wrong.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: PG, AU, 7,041 words.

My Opinion: It's cute as fuck. But Charles is deaged too, don't know if you want that!

 One Little Problem by Turtletotem

Summary: It's been months without a word since his sister and... whatever Erik was to him left Charles paralyzed on a beach. That doesn't mean he's going to let Erik rot in a CIA cell. He figures they'll find him, rescue him, and watch him walk away all over again.

But when they find Erik, there's one unexpected hitch. He's four years old.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: AU, anyone can read, cuteness, post cuba, 6756 words.

 Wee!Verse by Alaceron

Summary:Seven-year-old Erik needs to keep his telepathic best friend Charles from finding out that he wants to kiss him. But that's okay, because he has a plan - he'll put on a tinfoil hat.

Warnings/Rating/Word count: General audiences, just adorable, 4400 words.

My Opinion: This isn't technically de-aged, they're just little kids. So adorable.
