Enough of a Challenge by illogicallyinlove  -  Charles raises the gun to his own temple. "You want to stop a bullet, Erik? My life is now in your hands, just as you so wanted to put yours in mine." Erik's eyes widen, and it would have been comical were the situation not so severe. "Charles, what the hell are you doing? Give me the gun," he says cautiously, his hand outstretched. Charles takes a few more steps backwards. "What, is this not enough of a challenge for you? Is this scenario not to your liking?"

What You See by the_deep_magic  -  "Chris has body image issues. Seriously. All he can focus on are his flaws and he hates himself when he looks in the mirror. He can't talk to anyone about them [be]cause no one will take him seriously. Until someone actually witnesses him picking himself apart."

Age Difference AU by grim_lupine  -  "Raven is six years older than Charles; Charles has never really considered this age difference vitally important in one way or another, except to decide that even if Raven were six years younger than Charles, she would probably boss him around in the exact same way. He doesn’t really think much of the difference between fifteen and twenty-one, until Raven comes home from college for a study weekend with her new best friend in tow, introduces him cheerfully as Erik Lehnsherr, and Charles finds himself falling head-over-heels into a train wreck of doomed lust."

Sex For Total Morons by marlee813  -  "Embarrassed doesn't begin to describe how Zach feels when his sexy neighbor sees his first book, Sex for Total Morons. He knows he's a master in the bedroom, but judging by Chris' sudden pitying expression... Chris doesn't. Fortunately, Zach isn't about to let this opportunity pass by -- Chris is a teacher, so there's no way he'd refuse to teach him all the ins and outs of sex!"
