Intervention

Title: Intervention
Author: alchemyalice
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: PG

Written for the prompt: "Emma knows Erik has a thing for Charles. She can't read Charles but she saw how much Charles cares for Erik. After th falling out and when Emma notices Erik is pining (she's an intuitive woman, helmet or no), she sends Charles a message -- 'Fix him. We can't take over the world if he's so lovesick.' Then she gets Azazel to teleport Erik and Charles to an island so they can make up and make out." Except it's not as funny as the prompt makes it sound, because Erik and Charles are complicated and care deeply about each other but their causes are the same and yet not and... yeah, this is, according to the author, her "post-divorce catharsis fic," and oh, it delivers. I normally am ambivalent towards Emma, but this Emma is gorgeous.
