Title: Five time you didn't get it (and the one time you did)
Author: subtilior
Pairing: Erik/Charles (but also gen-ish)
Rating: PG
For the prompt: "I'm quite intrigued by the idea of the younger mutants not knowing about Charles and Erik back when they were friends. I imagine they'd be really shocked to see their enemy, magneto, jetting off to rescue their professor.
So. Someone attacks or kidnaps or kills Charles, and everyone's sort of lost. Maybe the younger mutants are praying or begging for someone to help them, only to have their savior end up being Magneto. Maybe some of them want vengeance or to go after the attackers, only to find out that Magneto rained holy hell upon them already. Or maybe the last thing Charles says is to "find Erik," or they don't recognize the handsome older gentleman without his trademark helmet."
This - just - the ending, oh my god, I mean the entire story already had this subtle and gradually growing feeling of constricted sadness, but that ending just broke my heart. Oh Charles ::BIG HUGS::
