cherik week day 3: they are not normal

[teamxcherik]

Cherik Week 2026 is almost here! Are you ready, my fellow mutants?

From Monday (June 1st) to Sunday (June 7th) we will celebrate our favorite ship with a different dynamic! REMEMBER to use the hashtag (#CherikWeek2026) so we can find your post and reblog it. If you don't see your post on our blog, let us know so we can share it. We want all our fellow mutants to feel seen and appreciated!

It's very important that we understand we are celebrating our ship, so the stories, art and more, have to be centered on Erik & Charles.

We welcome your creations, no matter the skill level - whether you are new or further along your creation journey. We want to encourage you to share your creativity that both makes us feel something and means something to you.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Every day we will provide a general theme that you'll use for inspiration. Included are small prompts that you may use if a little more guidance on how to approach the themes, is needed. If you wish, you can use any prompt you like the most, depending on the day, or you can even use more than one.

It's not obligatory to participate the whole week, you can simply do one or even skip days. Any new creation you make for the fandom will be appreciated!

Cherik Week Day 5: Old Friends

Close up under the cut

[ladydernhelm]

So here is June 7th now, so

DAY SEVEN : CHERIK IN EVERY UNIVERSE - Brandon x Brian

Song: Iris from Goo Goo Dolls

So this is my little contribution to Cherik Week, I would have liked to do more and better, but well at least I've done something :).

The edit is about the couple Brandon and Brian from Starter for 10 and Shame, it's just the first part of "Iris" song with some horrible manips and such, so there is not a specific concept for the story.

Anyway, my idea was about the two of them falling in love, but unfortunately the age difference (Brian is 21 and Brandon is 31) and above all the judgement of the people and family around them don't help, so they break up every now and then. The thing is that in the end they love each other too much, so they get back together everytime.

Here for the video on my TikTok

your body is a weapon, love.

New York City, circa 1975. Charles is a demonic succubus with an insatiable hunger, and Erik is more than happy to hand over his body to Charles.

Cherik Week 2026

Sehnsucht Summary: 1963. Charles Xavier was no longer the man he once was. Everything good about him had been lost to alcohol and self-imposed isolation. He had lost everything (or so he believed). One night, Erik Lehnsherr arrives at the mansion with a clear message for Charles, even though he wants nothing to do with Erik, or does he? fic here!

cherik day 7--and so we come to an end. i'm really glad i did this event: i can convincingly draw the two of them without reference, now. "cherik in every universe" is kinda hard for someone who is disinterested in so much as a modern au. so...i decided to model it after my own xmfc au!

basically the idea is schmidt took erik with him as the third reich was collapsing, and kept him prisoner/servant until 1962 [17 yrs]. in miami, erik escapes to charles' team (pictured). erik is thus about 400x more fucked up (pictured)

plus my awesome thumbnail and the resulting sketch😭 i couldnt picture kevin bacon so i drew...that. with reference i think i got him looking at least recognizable.
