Still Life with Cookies by stlkrchck
It wasn’t fair that he only wanted Erik to draw him when Erik wanted to listen to him talk about how unfair the lack of emphasis that tenure committees placed on teaching ability was and tuck him into the hat and scarf and mittens that he wore even though it wasn’t properly cold yet and kiss his gorgeous, ridiculously red mouth and make out with Charles on the bed that he’d apparently wedged between the window and “pipes of some sort, don’t ask me why there are pipes in my room, Erik,” in his tiny dorm room.
Or: Charles is a nude model, and Erik is an art student.
Mod post: Erik is ridiculous and anti-social, but Charles is determined to catch him if it’s the last thing he does.

Eyes on Fire by Black_Betty
Every once in a while, fashion tycoon Emma Frost invites her favourite male models over to entertain her. And by “entertain”, I mean she makes them have kinky consensual sex in front of her….Emma never touches herself when she watches, but she always has a glass of wine with her. Emma likes it best when they eventually forget that she’s watching.
Charles and Erik meet each other through Emma…
Mod post: Beautifully written and oh so, so hot!
An Unexpected Muse by RedStockings
Erik is an artist who is obsessed with the young man he by chance bumped into six months ago. Charles is the long-suffering brother being dragged to an art exhibition by Raven. There he spots the man he has been dreaming about for six long months and realises that he had been noticed after all.
Mod post: Charles isn’t exactly a model here, but he does end up inspiring Erik’s art. And the fic is wonderfully fluffy goodness!
