Hiiiiii!!!! Can you please give me the links to any Cherik fics you know with Charles recovering from Cuba and the bullet, and how he maybe, possibly, manages forge new ties with both Raven and Erik? Not necessarily though, they can stay separate too, I just really want bitter, heartbroken Charles, and maybe Raven and Erik thrown into the mix
Hullo @dancyon! Have some of my favourite post-xmfc fics!
The Tower and the Hurricane by dreamlittleyo [E, Cherik, IreneRaven]
(Post-movie AU.) Five years after Shaw's death, Erik's predictions prove painfully accurate. Violence rages on both sides of the human/mutant conflict. In a world ravaged by war, it doesn't really matter who's more at fault. Charles struggles to teach his students a better way, but what choices will he make when peace really isn't an option?
[Mod Note| This fic is FANTASTIC, my stars and garters. The world building, the pining, all of it. In a similar vein, Blood and Steel and Miles Between by dreamlittleyo is also fabulous.]
A Logical Progression by cloudyjenn [M, Cherik, Haven, Mpreg]
Erik and Charles were only together once before doubt and fear ground their romance to a halt. But once was apparently all it took. Now Charles is dealing with a pretty crappy secondary mutation, a brand new career teaching mini-mutants and a stubbornly overprotective Erik. This is the story of how Charles and Erik got from Point A to Point B and what they collected along the way.
write this number down (you can call it anytime) by pocky_slash [T, Cherik, Kid Fic]
When Erik upsets his children, they have a habit of running away from home--and straight to Charles' school for cookies and consolation. Charles doesn't mind the visitors, but as they appear more and more frequently, he realizes that sooner or later, he and Erik are going to have to talk about what happened on the beach and what it means for their future and the future of Erik's children.
And not necessarily what you wanted but:
Everything About It Is a Love Song by pocky_slash [T, Cherik, Old Retired Dudes in Love]
Erik's spent fifty years being a figurehead and he's ready to leave that behind. Luckily, so is Charles.
Through the Barricades by starandrea [M, Cherik]
Erik and Charles learned to live without each other once. It's harder the second time--so before they even discuss it, they've decided not to try. (Erik accidentally moves into the mansion without anyone but Charles noticing for days. He may be the first to return, but he won't be the last.)
