awesome that you can form a bond through gay sex which neither of you are engaging in, you're just both thinking about it really hard

Charles: We're married and that means we're a team.

Erik: Really? What about when I wanted to run a half marathon together and you told me to "rot in hell"?

Charles: That was clearly a playful joke!

Erik: So you'll run the half marathon with me?

Charles: NO, DARLING! I WOULD DIE!

I had a dream that I was fine / I wasn't crazy just overwhelmed

chapter 7 of a matter of public record is up, and the answer to "what if the most self-aware man in london had absolutely no self-awareness about one specific thing" is: this chapter, apparently. all thirteen thousand words of it.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

this chapter contains: ✨ Charles Xavier telling himself he is fine (he is not fine) ✨ Charles Xavier telling himself he is fine again (still not fine) ✨ Charles Xavier constructing an elaborate internal architecture for why he is fine that would not survive thirty seconds of cross-examination (fine) ✨ a crazy long digression about ABBA which i refuse to apologise for ✨ charles xavier in gold lamé and blue sparkle eyeliner singing the wrong words to mamma mia with complete commitment ✨ Raven, who loves her brother and sees him with horrible clarity and says the truest things in this fic with the least ceremony ✨ charles having extremely strong opinions about people on a reality TV show, delivered with the same precision he brings to skeleton arguments, because of course he does, he is a barrister

also featuring: — the specific loneliness of a Barbican flat that is slightly too quiet and slightly too his — "make sure you know which one of you was doing the dragging" — Super Trouper (we don't talk about super trouper) — ryan from MAFS Australia (prev season - I haven't watched the most recent!) — Charles Xavier, forty-four years old, senior barrister, genuinely believing his own press — a bowl that rocks if you put one olive in it — wabi-sabi (\charles is using it wrong)

this is the longest chapter in the fic and also the one where the least externally happens and the most internally happens, which is very charles of it.

personal note: Raven is one of my favourite supporting characters to write and the restaurant scene in this chapter is one of the things that took me longest to write, so determined was I that it should show the Tragedy of Charles properly.

also charles is fine. He's told us several times. i'm sure he's fine.

I love the mini renaissance Cherik gets every time new X-Men content comes out because they literally can’t not be written that way

[thenoman-sland]

X-Men fans - it's time to talk Remix! Please provide input on this year's event!

* Please note that we will run EITHER Remix Main OR Remix Madness. Thanks for your feedback!

I would participate in:

X-Men Remix Main - August timeframe

X-Men Remix Main - September timeframe

X-Men Remix Madness - August timeframe

X-Men Remix Madness - September timeframe

I am not interested in Remix Main or Madness

Voting ended onJul 11

For those who need a refresher, here's a quick overview of what the Remix Event entails:

But what is Remix exactly? Remix is a challenge where you rewrite someone else's X-Men story or redraw someone else's X-Men art the way you would have written/made it if it were your story/art.

What is X-Men Remix Main? X-Men Remix is when you sign up, you will be matched with another participant in the exchange and be asked to remix their work. Someone else in the exchange (not the person you write/draw for) will be remixing one of yours. Remix is a GIFT EXCHANGE i.e. you will get one of your works remixed.

What is X-Men Remix Madness? X-Men Remix Madness is when you sign up to give anyone permission to Remix any of your works (you may list safe stories which can not be remixed). You do not have to sign up if you only want to remix others but don't want anyone to remix your works. Remix Madness is a PROMPT CHALLENGE i.e. you are not guaranteed to have any of your works remixed. For those new to the X-Men fandom or have not participated in Remix previously and would like more information, please visit the Remix Collections linked above thank you.
