Charles Xavier has an excellent PR management. But one person can only endure so much before turning themselves into a mat for everyone around.

Summary
Erik thinks sometimes, in the months that follow, that it’s probably not good for them to argue this much. But then again, they’re both on the debate team. It’s how they pass the time.
OR: 5 arguments Erik and Charles have at university (and how they end).

Summary
When the first class kids hear about a famous fanfiction of themselves, entitled “X-Men: First Class,” Charles decides to give it a go – and finds that it’s heavy on the “cherik.”
Charles sees the humor. Erik’s not amused.
Inspired by that one interview of James Mcavoy ( https://youtu.be/guurCM1eofs?si=s2pOnnZXJ78jskfX ). Bonus Emmoira content at the end. Set in the time between my fics Hear Me Out and Like A Promise but can be read as a standalone!
( Note: I began writing this before I was forcefully erased from the internet by my family! I know that those fics are no longer available, so sorry if there’s parts of this oneshot that don’t make sense without larger context. I’m working to get them reposted ASAP. )

Summary
You know that Tumblr post that’s like “half of college professors are like you can know nothing about me except my name,” and the other half are like “and that’s why my wife left me! Anyway, what’s up with y’all?”
And someone else said: plot twist, they are married to each other.
So that with Erik and Charles.

Summary
Erik glowers.
“I can’t believe we’re back to this,” Charles says, like he wants to throw his hands in the air. He’s pouting a little bit. “Years of progress, and we’ve returned to you brooding. Don’t tell me I have to break out the terrible flirting again.”
Erik glowers a little less. “Flirting,” he repeats, bland but also maybe just very, very, very slightly, faintly, vaguely hopeful.
“Oh, yes,” Charles says absently, until something seems to strike him. “Don’t tell me you don’t…” He raises his left hand and brandishes the ring. “We promised ourselves to each other last week.”
--
Alternatively: Erik's memory is swiped clean of his and Charles's relationship.

Summary
Charles and Erik have been married for years: in public, the tabloids have dubbed them New York’s “powered couple,” and in private, they’re deeply in love.
But when Charles wakes up in the hospital, he finds his life has utterly unraveled while he was unconscious. Three years prior, he was hit on the head and sent into a coma-like “telepathic fugue state”; today, Erik is in prison, convicted of attempted murder for a crime it seems like only he could have committed.
Charles knows Erik would never harm him—but will anyone else actually believe it?

Summary
Excerpt from chapter 33:
Charles was stable. That was the best news the doctors could provide, and as Erik stood by his friend's bedside, his arms were folded tight to his chest. Charles lay on the mattress, a starched white bed sheet draping him from chest to feet. His eyes remained open. His arms rested outside the covers with tubes protruding from his skin like he was a component of a machine and nothing more.
That was, after all, what Erik had reduced him to already. At the base.
Gingerly, Erik extended his hand. He wrapped his fingers around Charles' left wrist, just above the dark ring of purple staining his skin. Words ached in Erik's throat, but he didn't bother with any. He had been such a fool. He had allowed the other mutants to manipulate his better judgment, to make an enemy of their own kind like dogs eating each other.
Never again.

Bookmarker's Notes
More realistic portrayal of spinal cord injury than most other fics, but also a dose of ableism. Should be tagged Charles/ Moira

There's a black curiosity on Charles' face that hurts, too, as one of the great Sentinel ships floods its light over the ruined mansion. The light glints over shattered glass, passes.
He used to sneak in through Charles' study window.
This is almost like that, really.

Circumventing the two-body problem, a case study. by Sotano

Summary
The Two-Body Problem refers to the no-win scenario among couples, particularly in academia, in which both partners are pursuing careers. Because of the necessity of distance between academic institutions, the outcomes are that the relationship will falter, or that one or the other will give up pursuing their career in order to maintain the relationship. The creators of the two-body problem, however, clearly weren't mutants. They neglected to think of the astral plane.
Or, Charles and Erik finally start "communicating" again during the early days of the X-Men, and they're either excellent at it or terrible.

“Prickly bits aside—hell, for the two of them, prickly bits included—it almost felt like a date. Which is stupid on multiple fronts. Grudgingly buying your ex a meal after he grudgingly bails you out of jail is obviously not a date.”
Five times Charles bailed Erik out of jail—and one time he didn’t.

Summary
Charles is a bibliophile living with his stepbrother in a remote village. Erik is a lonely prince with an affliction he doesn't know how to control. Logan is the greatest hunter in the whole world.
Pretty much what it says on the tin. If you've seen Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" you know pretty much exactly what you're getting into. Lots of fluff.
