Not What I Was Expecting (So Much Better)

Title: Not What I Was Expecting (So Much Better)
Author: lazulisong
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: PG

Written for the prompt: "Erik is a very rich (new money), very lonely VP of some Fortune 500 company who needs a nanny for his two kids. Charles is a struggling grad student who, estranged from his asshole family (except for his sister), needs some extra money. OR VICE VERSA, Charles is a very rich, very lonely geneticist who needs a nanny for his children and Erik is a struggling artist who needs some extra money.

MAGIC HAPPENS, THEY FALL IN LOVE."

Teehee. This is such a cute fic, especially the description of Eric's twins, and how everytime he gets a new nanny he's all "I give the twins half an hour to tie him/her in a chair," and he accepts that they'll be little demons because he contributed to half of their genetic makeup, and him and Charles playing house without really being together... aahhhh. I only wish that the fic didn't end where it did (obviously I want to see more HappyCouple!Erik/Charles), and I feel like somethings weren't explained very clearly (although maybe they didn't need to be? I've only read the fic once so this impression may be incorrect), but overall snarky, cute, and gave me the warm and fuzzies :)
