Title: The Gunpowder Files
Author: tawabids
Pairing: Erik/Charles (although this is pretty gen)
Rating: R for violence?
For the prompt: "... In a semi-historical-maybe-maybe-not AU, Erik is known to be very dangerous and a smooth operator, killin' bad dudes and somehow getting away with it. I...don't know how. One day, this horrible rich family offers to pay Erik to kill their disabled son, "putting him out of his misery". Erik says eff that, and just gets Charles to leave with him when he skips town. They fight whatever it is that Erik fights in this fic..."
I love the writing in this fic. Absolutely love, love, adore. It's a very different take on Erik and Charles's personalities, and how they can work together instead of apart like in the movie. I like the darker side of Charles in this story, the way he's kind of... sharper around the edges, and the relationship between Charles and Erik, Erik and his mother (yay Edie!), and Charles and Edie are just.. gritty and raw and beautiful.
