Fic Rec Friday 2/16/2024
Title: Like It Was Made For You
Rating: General Audiences
Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Category: M/M
Fandoms: X-Men: First Class (2011) RPF, British Actor RPF, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) RPF
Relationship: Michael Fassbender/James McAvoy
Characters: Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy
Additional Tags: Domestic Fluff, Mpreg, Breakfast in Bed, Coffee, Hurt/Comfort, Cuddling & Snuggling, Love, Established Relationship
Summary: "I’m pregnant,” James says. This excuse works, as it has for the past seven and a half months. He’s beginning to feel a bit guilty about this, but only a bit, since he’s also feeling the size of a whale and distinctly uncomfortable. Michael smiles.
Or: adventures with tabasco sauce, hot coffee, hurt/comfort, and sunny mornings.
———
A blast from fandoms past today. These were the days…
Mpreg is my kryptonite. Seriously. If there’s ever a ship you want me to check out, and you want an absolute guarantee that I’ll read it? Drop me an mpreg fic. I may or may not enjoy it, but I will NEVER be able to resist the siren call of mpreg. You’d think I’d be more drawn to ABO as a result, but eh. Anyway.
The dynamic here is so good. I love McFassy fics where James is something of a lil shit. Because let’s face it - he absolutely is, lol. His restlessness is so well conveyed; I’ve never been (and never will be) pregnant, but somehow I still know how he feels. And Michael being the softer, perhaps more caring one of the two is lovely. He’s certainly a tad bit overprotective, but luckily for him, it’s endearing. Their relationship is so affectionate and playful. It’s a genuine pleasure to read these two guys just existing in the world and loving each other, eagerly awaiting the birth of their child.
I love the changing names for their kiddo too, shifting as they try different ones out. That kid, when they’re born, will be so fucking cherished and adored. Also, if you read other fics of this ship by one of these writers, you start to recognize familiar tropes. Those tropes are like a warm blanket for me whenever I reread this. Reminds me of a time, years ago, when we were all just enjoying reading, writing, and experiencing the relationship - friendly, sexual, and all points in between - of these two actors. Fun times, my dudes.
Important note: Locked fic, so no link, sorry. You can probably still find it fairly easily if you have an account though.
———
Next Week: For the penultimate fic in this year-long batch of weekly recommendations, how about a nice, smutty little Spacedogs story? Features include Lust/Love at First Sight and then almost immediately turning that UST into RST, Nigel being a lil shit, and transmasc Adam. An excellent combo if I do say so myself.
See you soon!

Can we talk about how everyone, Raven especially, sees Charles as this naïve, arrogant and credulous man who hopes for the betterment of the world while being “ignorant” to its faults when in reality if anything he is the LEAST naïve one of them all.
He’s had to grow up and deal with the weight of hearing everyone’s most violent, disturbing, disgusting and innapropriate thoughts and yet he STILL has hope. That’s the complete opposite of ignorant if I’ve ever seen it. He may have unrealistic expectations when it comes to bigotry and equality and all that but how can one still have hope for a world when he sees just how hopeless its society is on a basis?
There was a holiday fic collection I read where on Father’s Day (ode to his comic backstory) he found himself in his fathers study telling Erik about how his father had passed. In this adaptation it was suicide, talking about how he could feel nothing inside the body, the mind, but complete emptiness. It went into how both of them know just as well as the other how deep and harmful the darkness that can encompass one can grow to be. How Charles’ darkness and grief and negative intrusive thoughts could be worse than Erik’s, if anything rival it. Everyone in the original movie series sees Charles as this hopeful, ignorant man wanting to change the word and its ideologies himself, and it pains me that so many people see and write Charles as this truly (in Erik’s own words) naïve man, when in reality he’s the most aware one can be of the humans and society as a whole’s, faults.
This also goes into Charles is powerful as FUCK and could kill anyone in a split second at the stop of a heartbeat but rarely if ever uses that ability. Raven accusing Charles of so much in Dark Phoenix, along with Hank, later, truly breaks me because he’s always been looking out for everyone and never does anything for his own gain.

Cherik fics - That ONE line - 88
「I feel like I should keep an index of the one line in each Cherik fics that impresses me to no end, making want to bookmark it immediately.」
The Beats Of My Heart That I Gave You by luninosity
Summary: Early days at the mansion, fluff, hurt/comfort, Erik building bookshelves for Charles, first-time I-love-you moments, happy endings.
The quote:
Had he, and Charles, made something like love?
+1
He knew he was in love. 
+…
Charles was sitting rather guiltily in the middle of a tower of texts, back propped comfortably against the wall and all the stacks forming a nearly complete circle around him. Defense, Erik thought: even the books wanted to keep Charles safe. Of course they did. Charles cared about them, was paying attention to them—had, rather obviously, been neglecting the sorting process to read a few—and so naturally they’d fall in love with him in return. Erik could sympathize.

Hey! I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you know any fics where the First Class kids + Charles and Erik are just having adventures and stuff. Or any fic where Erik and Charles are being a fun couple. Thank you!
Oh boy Anon so sorry for the delay with this one! I had this in my drafts folder and forgot about it for a week eek!!! Anyway, here's a list of canon compliant fics I hope you enjoy :D
and now you will not be alone any more by pocky_slash 
Erik gives driving, sewing, and cooking lessons, soothes nightmares, bolsters self-esteem, and still can't figure out why Charles keeps smiling at him like that.
In Plain Sight by arcapelago (arcanewinter)
A story where Charles and Erik have basically been together from the first time they met. The whole fate, wow we found each other thing. Now I would like the others not to know and try to bring the two 'oblivious' guys together.
Date Night by smilebackwards
Erik thinks he would be more touched at the children's obvious investment in his and Charles' relationship if it didn't imply such a lack of confidence in his abilities.
Idiot Control Now by cygnaut
Hank screws something up in the lab and everyone's powers increase tenfold. Not knowing how to control them like this, they all try to cope and not kill each other by mistake while Hank tries to find a way to reverse the effects. Charles has a particularly hard time of it.
This Crazy Game Called Life by chiasmus
Raven declares game night in the mansion. Sean finds an elephant, Erik inherits one hundred unwanted cats, and Charles scars Hank for life with misdirected dirty thinking. 
And If You'll Come I’ll Take You Somewhere To Go by luninosity
Yes,” Charles says, rather apologetically even though this can’t possibly be his fault, “you seem to be me. And I…well, I’m you. At the moment.”
“Charles,” Erik says, with what he considers quite remarkable patience under the circumstances, “how long is this going to last?”
and admit that the waters around you have grown by thedeadparrot
"I would never turn away another mutant in need," Charles says. He reads Erik's mind blatantly and without shame these days. Erik supposes he deserves it. "And you, my friend, are needier than most."
You Can't Help Yourself by abbichicken
Prompt: Everyone has to notice that Erik is a very handsome man. So naturally there'd be crushes, harmless flirting, etc. Charles is apparently the jealous type, which nobody expects, so at first everyone is confused by the random headaches, his acting kind of weird, and so on.
Childish Things by fengirl88
Everyone has a weakness somewhere, but he'd never have imagined Charles's could be something so simple. So childish.
You think they'd be surprised if they knew? by widgenstain
The kids are talking about how things work between Charles and Erik. They make assumptions that aren't true and generally misinformed. Except for Angel of course.
Unicorns Are Forever by xsilverdreamsx
“I think I’ve read this story before. Two people switch bodies and they end up having sex so that they can switch back,” Sean offers unhelpfully.
Everyone looks at him in horror.

hello😘
im in desperate need of fic recommendations and you were the very first person I thought of to ask
I just finished reading a fic and it was so fucking good and I really really want to see what kinda long fics (like 30k+ words???) you've read and loved?
btw, i literally love ur writing so much 🤫🥰
Hey!
Aw, nice, I appreciate that my taste in fics is recommendation worthy. Also, thanks!
I'll go with stucky and evanstan fics/series because you didn't specify which aaand I happen to know good long fics for both
Stucky
"Song of the rolling earth" by the1918 (this series is 154,000 words and Incredible. I go back to it all. the. time. for the emotions and the smut)
"Bucky Barnes and His 1001 Fetishes (or at least a few of them)" by sarahyellow (this fic is 167,000 words and the smut is So So Good and Kinky. Some plot, not a ton (affectionate).)
"Give a Little, Take a Little" by notlucy (this series is 90,000 words of glorious kink exploration. Highly recommend.)
"like it's the only thing i'll ever do" by howdoyousleep (listen, listen, listen... this fic is by K and is 39,000 words of omegaverse goodness. What more do you need to know?)
"we are the things that we do for fun" Nonymos (this fic is 35,000 words and has tiny dom Steve (who's a pro dom) with big beefy sub Bucky. It's Great.)
"Innocent Until" by L1av (this fic is 136,000 words and comes with a yelled warning of READ THE TAGS. It's so so so so so so good but it contains Steve being on trial for murder... so, thread cautiously. It will make your mind do things, okay? Highly, highly recommend though.)
"you will always be my favorite form of loving" by thiccbuckybarnes (this fic is so close to the 30k cut-off... it's 28,000 words, super close and super good. In smut and regular plot.)
"Omega Services: Rut Assistant" by roe87 (I read this fic as the author was writing it and I looked forward to each new chapter so much! It's wild to think it's 175,000 words overall. It felt like it went by so fast!)
"Maybe we'll get it all (If we choose one night)" by sourwolphs (this fic is 69,000 words and great! Very much emotion and hella smut. My favorite haha.
Evanstan
"You Once Said if We Were Careful" by callmejude (this fic is 65,000 words and has SUCH GOOD sub Sebastian content when he's just learning about subbing, it comes with Heavy emotion and sub drop too though... be weary if that's not your think.)
"Like Sugar (Spell It Out)" by luninosity (I feel like I always recommend this series but I just can't help it, it's Everything I Want. Anyway. This series is 238,000 words and is full, full of beautiful smut and fluff and angst and everything. I can't say enough good things about it.)
"Ceramic" by bearception (okay, so this fic is actually under 30k, it's only 27,000 works BUT it's also so so good and so so full of sub Seb feels that hit me where I live.)
"we walk the sun" by Kellyscams and luninosity (for this 35,000 words series I have two words that are all you need to know: KITTEN SEBASTIAN)
"I Belong To You" by OrangeVanilla (this series is 42,000 words and has ex-pornstar Seb and lawyer Chris and I love the bratty, princess attitude Seb has in it lol)
Okay, I think that's all I got lol, I didn't even realize I knew so many longer fics! Goddamn. I hope you enjoy them!

Seven sentence Sunday
I was tagged by @iboatedhere @strandnreyes @reyesstrand and @welcometololaland. Like others I have interpreted this as seven lines sunday lol, not strictly actual sentences.
TK squeezes his hands, and the dam Carlos had hastily constructed as he was shutting the door behind his parents starts to crack a little. “I never … thought I’d have that,” he admits.
Stepping a little closer into him, TK nods and waits for him to continue.
“I love them so much,” Carlos sighs. “I tried to convince myself it was enough that they accepted me and didn’t throw me out of the house like lots of parents do.”
“But it wasn’t.”
Carlos shakes his head, tears coming to his eyes that he tries to blink away. “I wanted this so badly, TK. Them meeting someone I love and loving him too, being happy for me. Being proud of me.”
“They are.”
“I didn’t even want to let myself think about how much I needed it,” Carlos says, with a soft laugh and a shake of his head.
Tagging some pals in other fandoms since so many LS peeps have already done this - @luninosity @its-tortle @howdoyousleep3 @musette22

Help finding a book?
I got reminded of a book I really liked, but I can't remember the identifying information: author or title...
This week there was a Tumblr post running around about a kingdom at war, and the prince comes out to the front lines for a war council. He's wise and excellent at strategy. Sometimes prince needs a cane, crutches or a wheelchair.
A general sees Prince in a wheelchair, starts declaring loudly that living with a disability is a fate worse than death, unmanly, yadda yadda. So his aide asks, sir if you're ever wounded what would be your wishes?
General says, it is your duty to give me the mercy tap. (Which, boggle)
It's by way of this that the general gets the nickname, the warhorse of (hometown), not because warhorses are noble and brave, but because they're so fragile that you have to put them down because they've broken a leg.
***
This reminded me of the book I can almost remember, which is a M/M romance, where the young prince is a bit foppish, "unmasculine" for his love of beautiful clothes, and who is unabashedly queer and has also declared multiple times his admiration for the general/warlord. (He's also iirc an unreliable narrator because I think we see the General Looking Respectfully 👀👀👀)
Foppish Prince manages to save his people in the ...Summer Palace, I think, when the bandits come, gets them all out safe and joins up with the forces of the General/Warlord.
It's not fanfiction, I'm pretty sure. And I've been reading tons of @luninosity and @sweetfirebird (whose books I have I need to go check through)...
But if this sounds familiar to you and you remember the title? Help a sibling out?

Who are your favorite Evanstan writers? x
Hi!
So I think Piper, Bug and I would all say that @luninosity @paper-storm @cable-knit-sweater and @musette22 are some of the best writers in this little fandom who really capture the Evanstan spirit really well.
And I also want to add @wintersoldier1989 and @thedamageofherdays because they write some really awesome stuff as well.
We are probably missing some great authors here. But like these are the first people I think of when I think of Evanstan writers!

Fic Rec Friday 3/24/23
Title: Abduction Seduction
Rating: Mature
Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Category: M/M
Fandoms: X-Men: First Class (2011) - Fandom, X-Men (Movies)
Relationship: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Characters: Erik Lehnsherr, Charles Xavier, Original Alien Character(s)
Additional Tags: Aliens Made Them Do It, Fluff and Crack, First Time, Love Confessions, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Sexual Content, Aliens Are Voyeurs, Happy Ending
Summary:
"Seriously," Charles said, and stared at the alien. "Seriously. No."
"A successful mating demonstration will earn you food," the alien reminded them helpfully, from the other side of the clear glowing door.
———
A bit of a blast from the past for today’s rec. In that it was first posted, damn, nine years ago. Nine years ago exactly in two weeks! Maybe I should have waited and posted this rec on its anniversary?
Nah. Still, decent enough timing I must say. Absolutely not planned at all.
It may be an older story, but I can assure you, it is well worth checking out. And I’m not just saying that because both of the authors are dear friends of mine. No, this fic is truly amazing. It’s my personal barometer of quality for ‘crack treated seriously’ fics, because that’s exactly what it is. It’s the most cracky premise you could ever think of - aliens made them do it - and yet… yet…
It’s so soft. And tender. The emotions are strong and real. Every now and then, the crack pokes through, but it never feels like mood whiplash. You might not think you could get that much emotional mileage out of a premise like this, but somehow, it manages - and then some. The love scene is almost unbearably beautiful, especially for a fic about being abducted by aliens who just wanna watch the characters fuck, lol.
The ending is perfect. A sublime, hilarious, “well, that happened” cap on a fic full of tender emotions and cracky comedy that makes me laugh (and sigh dreamily) every time I reread it.
Truly magical.
———
Next week’s rec: Hmm… You know what I’ve been reading a lot of lately? Steddie. And I just added a couple more fabulous fics to my bookmarks. How about one of those? I’ve been trying to keep the recs a bit diverse in terms of ships, but that’ll only last so long, lol. Plus, I really like what I’ve been reading.
Until next time!

You Make Me Drop Things (Like All The Plans I Had Made For A Life Without You) by luninosity 
Rating : Teen and up audiences
Word count : 2,901
AU : Mansion fic AU
Summary : Erik doesn’t attempt to count Charles’s innumerable freckles. Not with numbers, at least.
He counts with memories, instead. The first time they kissed lies intertwined with, not the twin sparkles on Charles’s nose as might be expected, but the lower starburst scatter near the base of his throat, where the freckles become most visible.
Warnings : None

Cherik fics - That ONE line - 107
「I feel like I should keep an index of the one line in each Cherik fics that impresses me to no end, making want to bookmark it immediately.」
Dreaming Aloud by luninosity
Summary: Written for a prompt somewhere on the kink meme that went something like this: “Erik and Charles, on their road trip, are in a bar. Someone gives Charles mind-altering substances. This is a Bad Thing to do to a telepath. Discuss.” So...that's what happens. Plus some confessions of Feelings.
The quote:
You know how much darkness lies in everyone, and you choose to believe in the light. You have such faith in everyone. Even in me. And I don’t understand you but you make me want to try. To see what you see, even for an hour, a day, a minute.

Ok minnie: imagine you had to choose!
Who would you ship more:
Bucky and Chris
Or Sebastian and Steve
Oh noooooooo, why would you do this to meeee 😭😂 This is SO hard, oh my god... Part of me wants to be like "I'm sorry, I'm a monoshipper so I cannot" but I also don't want to be a spoilsport lol, so ummm, let me think...
God, that's tricky. Especially because there are so many "versions" of these boys, you know? Frat boy Chris, Seb in his Chelsea days, prewar Bucky, Nomad Steve, "daddy" Chris with his glasses, fluffy professor Seb, winter soldier Bucky, beefy TFA Steve etc. etc. Some of those would go better with specific versions than with other specific version imo, if you know what I mean 😅
But generally speaking, I *think* I'm going to have to go with Bucky and Chris, purely because Chris and Steve are quite similar in certain ways? Both kind and big-hearted, both kind of introverted in some ways and not at all in others, they both draw and they're both concerned with the state of the world and try to do their bit, and they're both guys who feel things very deeply, to name just a few things. So I think Bucky could care for Chris too, though he could never love anyone the way he loves Steve, obviously. Bucky and Steve are soulmates, after all!
Having said all that, I think Steve would get incredibly flustered around Sebastian because he's just so very pretty and sweet, which in itself could also be pretty cute! But at the end of the day, I think the best solution would just get all four of them together like in the sound of rain on tin by luninosity, for instance 😉

HOLIDAY FIC RECS - UPDATED!!!
Yay it's holiday time again and I'm a-rolling in with an updated rec list for my fandom lovelies :D :D :D
Walking in a Winter Wonderland by TurtleTotem
Charles hasn’t seen Erik since their devastating breakup ten years ago. He’s certainly the last person he expects to run into at a Christmas lights display.
Terrible Hanukkah Sweaters and Other Life Challenges by professor (series)
“Why am I here again?” Erik groans.
“I need you to lift things and glower at people over my shoulder when I tell people that it’s not ‘politically correct’ or a ‘war on Christmas’ to have a non-denominational winter holiday festival,” says Theresa Pryde.
Well, at least those are two things he’s good at.
soul of my soul by ikeracity
You can imprint on your soulmate anywhere — school, work, on the street, in a restaurant, on the subway. Charles and Erik imprint on each other just in time for the holidays.
The Holiday Lights Battle by so_shhy
Some people take their Christmas lights a little too seriously. Erik is one of those people. So is his new neighbour, Sebastian Shaw.
Winter Song by ikeracity
They manage to make time to be together on New Year’s Eve 1999 into 2000.
table for three by pocky_slash
Erik should have known to call ahead to the Chinese restaurant–it’s Christmas Eve and he lives in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, after all. But before he can go home to mourn the loss of another one of his mother’s yearly traditions, he’s accosted by a teenage girl with a strange proposition–that he should stay and have dinner with her and her mother, instead.
December, Take Two by mabyn
Charles has no problem being in the same room as his ex at Emma’s holiday party. They’re adults, after all.
Mistletoe, Latkes, and Long-term Revenge Strategies by pocky_slash
Charles knows that Erik hates working at a department store in the best of times. Being Jewish in a department store during the holiday season is far from the best of times. He does what he can to help.
In the Bleak Midwinter by keire_ke
It is not easy to find out, well into the second decade of the twenty-first century, that your mother arranged a marriage for you. It is even less easy to convince her that you have no interest in the very fertile Magda, she of the wide hips and lustrous auburn hair. Fortunately, with a good friend at his side over the holiday weekend, Erik is sure he will prevail.
All We Are We Are by kianspo
Charles's boyfriend breaks up with him days before the holidays. Not willing to ruin anyone else's festive mood, Charles hides this fact from his sister and his friends, and retreats into the family mansion, letting the world move on without him. He's flirting with depression when a one-time ex and a long-term friend surprises him. Long-kept secrets are revealed, and it turns out, Charles hasn't been paying attention to the right things.
Where The Heart Is by professor
It's Christmas, and Charles is sick, and alone. Until he's not.
The Haunting of Erik Lehnsherr: A Christmas Carol by TurtleTotem
Erik's business partner, Emma Frost, died seven years ago. This Christmas Eve, her ghost returns, dragging the chains of eternal torment, to say he can avoid her fate only through the visitation of three spirits, who will show him the mistakes of his past.
festival of lights by pocky_slash
A series of ficlets featuring Erik celebrating Hanukkah in various verses.
Watching the Stars Slide Down by groovyphilia
Seventeen-year-old Charles Xavier is ridiculously wealthy, and is used to being paraded around for show at his mother’s high-society Christmas parties. He’s always been rather sporting about it, and dutifully rubs shoulders with the elite every year in the glitz of the mansion ballroom.
This year, he meets a man by the name of Erik Lehnsherr.
New Way Home by luninosity
Christmas at the mansion (written November 2011). All the festive holiday fluffiness in the world; protective Erik; tiny bit of emotional h/c near the end; realizations of love.
-----
And of course these classics by Yahtzee (see linked post):
Somewhere I’m Going & Have Never Been Before
Made To Be Broken
Xmas in Connecticut
Red, Gold, and Green
