Title: Five Minds Charles Never Read (And One He Did)
Author: Leyenn
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: PG
Written for the prompt: "Charles basically promised everyone he won't read their minds, right?
So now, I want 5 times when Charles wanted to read someone's mind, but promised not to and one time he accidentally did it."
I love this simply for the ending - Erik's incredulity ("You can't possibly want to explore my mind, Charles. The burst of disbelief, of self-loathing, is thick and heavy and tastes like ash, like the death around a volcano, black and burnt. I wouldn't wish that on you") and Charles's truth ("Oh, my friend, but I would") is beautiful. Oh Erik, you poor broken man, of course Charles loves you that much ^_____^
