Christmas/Hanukkah at the Mansion

Title: Christmas/Hanukkah at the Mansion
Author: Anonymous
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: PG

For the prompt: "I don't give a fuck that the happy times at the mansion clearly took place in the summer/autumn. I want some fluffy Christmas fic with Charles being awesome and including some Hanukkah shit for Erik because of his memory with his mother."

Awwww The Brotherhood and the X-Men celebrate the holidays together! Except it's so much deeper than that. I love how Erik takes his group "home" when they clearly are on their last legs, how Raven settles back in immediately ("You'd think she'd never left, he thinks as he rolls his eyes and settles into the armchair nearest Charles. This [is] her home, Erik – she could leave, but it'd still be her home, whenever she chose to return. Charles doesn't have to explain the same goes for everyone in the room. 'Raven, can you hand me one of Erik's gifts?'"), how Janos and Angel and Emma and Azazel settle in, Hank and Alex's present wrapping skillz, OMG - it's beautiful and happy and not everything is resolved, but the feeling of contentment still gives me the warm and fuzzies <3
