Couldn't Swallow, Couldn't Get To Sleep (WIP)

Title: Couldn't Swallow, Couldn't Get To Sleep (you'll have to scroll down to Fill #2)
Author: Anonymous
Pairing: Can't tell if it's Gen or Erik/Charles, so I'm going to label it as both for now
Rating: PG-13 so far

For the prompt that asks for someone to figure out that Charles's childhood wasn't idyllic, even with the money and the mansion. This is a WIP, and I normally wait until WIPs are finished before reading them (what can I say, I'm a sucker for instant gratification), but man... I have to rec this, because the slow build up and the gradual insights we get from Erik's point of view of Charles's childhood is heartbreaking and chilling makes my heart ache. Part of me wants the author to draw it out longer so I can really take my time savoring the suspense, and part of me is biting my nails going "OMG tell me what happened NOOOOWWWWWW."
