Hello! I'm going to ask for a bit of a odd request. I'm not 100% sure if this is a Charles/Erik fanfiction or I'm thinking of a different pairing but have you ever read a story where one of them owns a comic book store?
Anon I don’t think I’ve ever read a fic where one of them owns a comic book store specifically. But there are a couple excellent ones here where they own a book store, if that’s of interest?

Charles owns and runs a charming used book store in upstate New York. When a mysterious (and incredibly sexy) customer turns out to be the proprietor of another used book store opening up across town, Charles is torn between keeping his distance to keep his business afloat, and giving in to the steadily growing attraction between them.

And here is one where Charles is a comic book writer:
