Title: This Crazy Gamed Called Life
Author: Anonymous
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: PG
For the (paraphrased) prompt: "Pre-divorce or no divorce: Raven is tired of the boys going off to play chess (if they're even playing chess!) and pulls out a load of board games from one of the closets in the mansion. Madness ensues."
I love big noisy we-are-a-big-family-and-we-needle-each-other-cheerfully-and-tease-each-other-mercilessly interaction, and this fic has it in spades. The dialogue sparkles, everyone is in character, Sean's (seemingly to me since I've never played The Game of Life before) random comments crack me up, and seriously, how can you not love a fic that has the following:
The next one to reach the white plastic chapel ended up being Erik.
“Goddammit,” Erik said, clearly not wanting to be the next one up at the fake altar.
“Don't even think about skipping out on your wedding day,” Moira said, grinning.
Charles wondered if Erik would put up an argument. This time, Erik didn't. “Fine, I pick Charles.”
“To the surprise of no one,” Raven said.
