Excellent Judgement (formerly known as "speed-dating")

Title: Excellent Judgement (formerly known as "speed-dating")
Author: Anonymous
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: NC-17 (nnggghh)

Written for the speed-dating AU prompt.

Good lord, the UST in this fic. Charles runs a speed-dating service (with his partner Moira), and one day his partner makes him participate in his services just as one Erik Lensherr... yes, you see where this is going, don't you? What I love about this fic is that it's not just the amazing slow burn of arousal throughout the fic - and when I say slow burn I mean slow burn - I'm about to combust and they haven't even gotten anywhere interesting - but it also sparkles with hilarity ("'Charles,' Erik repeats. His gaze drops to Charles's nametag pinned to his waistcoat. 'I can see that. What brings you out here mingling with your customers? Always like to sample the wares, do you?' Yesyesyes clamours every cell associated with Charles's reproductive system in unison") I'm perpetually caught between laughing hysterically and going nngggghhhh oh my god JUST FUCK HIM ALREADY WILL YOU!!!! It's amazing :D
