Title: Stalemate
Author: lyceumidence
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: PG
Written for the prompt: "They use metal plates and pins to piece Charles's spine back together and Hank can build a wheelchair out of plastic and ceramic, but there's nothing they can do about that.
I have no clue if this is medicall viable or the actual procedure for spine damage, but I want Charles being vulnerable and Erik doing some terrible things, but never taking advantage of that particular vulnerability."
Oh my god this fic made me want to cry. It's so painful and beautiful and wistful and yearning and dangerous all at the same time, how both Charles and Erik could destroy each other if they choose to, and yet both are balanced on that knife's edge, not quite going over... and the ending ambiguity was perfect. I'm going to go curl up with some ice cream and find some "and they lived happily ever after" Erik/Charles fic to read now, because I adore this fic, but oh my god it hurts.
