I Am Oragami

Title: I Am Oragami
Author: pentre-katblake
Pairing: Erik/Charles, Charles/Edie
Rating: PG-13

For the prompt: "I just want a fic where Edie Lehnsherr is a Jack Harkness-style immortal and comes to Westchester after she hears about this safe haven for mutants. Post Divorce please, with oblivious!Charles and absent!Erik."

So.... yeah, um. I didn't know the pairings before I read the fic, so I'm just gonna put it out there that I'm a little squicked by the Charles/Edie and the Charles/Erik in the same story - although I understood how they got there - but. That just messes with my head, and.

That said, this is a gorgeous story. The writing is beautiful, the whole story is just... quietly brilliant, and I love stories that focus on minor characters. Also, as an avid oragami-folder (is that the correct term?) as a child, I very much appreciate the metaphor :)
