Nixie’s MM Month: Day Seventeen, Alex x Darwin - Space AU.  

      Never be ashamed of how much you love, or how quickly you fall. Love fully, love completely, but most importantly, love naturally - and don't you ever apologize for it. Don't ever be sorry for loving the way your heart knows.

“Long time no see. Wow… your hair is SO much longer than it used to be, dude… is this a thing now?”

Based off this beautiful (and totally cannon imo) fill-in-the-plot-holes idea by @upallnightogetloki. It’s kind of rushed I know, but the idea would not leave me alone, and I just had to do something with it. So here you go. \m/

Nixie’s Rare Pair AU Challenge, Day Seven: Alex x Darwin - 1940s AU.

“Did anyone see you?” Darwin spoke, his voice hushed and urgent, “Alex!”

The blond shook his head, just as urgent and just as serious as Darwin. “No, no man, I don’t think anyone saw me slippin’ here.”  

They stay tense for another few moments, but when it becomes clear no ones about to come busting into Darwin’s apartment, they both let out collective sighs of relief, lips spreading into strained but happy smiles as they step up to one another. 

Darwin’s hands wrapping around Alex’s thin, bony hips, while Alex’s slide up Darwin’s arms before loosely wrapping around his shoulders as they bow their heads, foreheads resting against once another as they just enjoy being for a while.

ALEX/DARWIN because there needs to be more of it forever.

YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!

1. Who made the first move? Darwin did because Alex is a weenie and dealing with a lot of self worth issues that he wouldn't have the nerve to make a move at all.

2. Who said “I love you” first? Darwin says it first. It takes a while for Alex to say it at all and when Darwin first says it he sort of panics a little because he doesn't really know how to handle that sort of responsibility. It all works out in the end.

3. Do they fight? It's mostly playful arguing over video games and Alex not eating healthy, but they do have more serious arguments about Alex's inability to ask for help and how Darwin sometimes pushes a but too much.

4. Big spoon/Little spoon? Alex little spoons it 95% of the time. He knows Darwin can handle his power and to have him wrapped around his back makes Alex feel like the rest of the world is safe from him too, just for a little while.

6. Who remembers anniversaries? Darwin. Alex tries, but unless he's got five reminders set he usually forgets. Which is fine, it's just a date.

7. Who’s the better cook? Alex is once he gets some lessons in him. He loves trying new recipes and Darwin is always ready to chow down.

8. Favorite Activity? Going out dancing. They like heading into the city and just cutting loose and forgetting that they're not your average kids. No one looks at them funny or says anything to them and they get to have fun (and make out in back allies sometimes.

9. How would they get engaged? They actually sit down and have a serious talk about it. Darwin technically asks but it's more of a "Are you the marrying type? Do you ever want to get married?" and after a while it ends in an engagement and lots of smiles.

10. How do they picture their wedding? Darwin imagines lots of flowers, their families, probably having it at the mansion/school. Alex can;t picture it so he goes with whatever Darwin wants. He does get to pick out the cake and ends up writing his own vows to read out. Alex also picks out the colors.

11. How many kids do they want? None. They're happy playing uncles and eventually taking gaggles of students under their wings. The school is basically one big family anyway.

depend on something that's new: (Darwin/Alex)

Title: depend on something that's new 

Author: lady_krysis 

Fandom: X-Men: First Class

Pairing(s): Darwin/Alex

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Amnesia

Length: ~7,400 words

Summary: Darwin returns but with no memory of who they are or how he died.

Comments: I've been looking for good Darwin/Alex fics since the movie came out and this one was extremely satisfying. I loved the plot idea and that Alex had issues with the fact that Darwin couldn't remember. The author did a wonderful job of both sticking with and changing the original plot to fit Darwin's revival in. Please enjoy.

You're A Ghost, Darling: (Azazel/Raven, Erik/Charles)

Title:  You're A Ghost, Darling

Author: zimothy

Fandom: X-Men: First Class (2011)

Pairing(s): Erik/Charles, Azazel/Raven, Hank/Alex, onesided-Darwin/Alex

Rating: Mature

Warnings: Major character deaths, violence, ghosts have sex

Length: ~45,200 words

Summary: " I'd prefer to go with the 'Raven sees ghosts' option than the 'Raven need to be institutionalized' option, anyway."

Comments: This fic is extremely different from anything I've ever come across and I adored it. The idea of Charles and Erik being ghosts and coming together despite the gap of their deaths is just wonderful. They go through many trials as they help Raven develop a romantic relationship with Azazel. Some parts of this fic were heartbreaking while others left me giggling like crazy. This is wonderfully written and refreshingly different. Please enjoy.
