Dear Santa, For Christmas This Year All I Want Is Found Family Cherik Fic 🙏

Okay hear me out :

(It’s a vague idea that I just had while reading “Old times” from Harold Pinter)

Charles and Erik were old friends, they met when they were rlly young (maybe around 10) but Erik moved away when they were in their twenties. They haven’t seen in almost 20 years.

Charles is now married (with Moira) but doesn’t have any kids.

One day Charles receives a letter. Erik is asking if he can come over to his house for a weekend.

Charles accepts ofc.

Erik isn’t married (he was but had a nasty divorce a few years prior)

As soon as he arrives, Charles realizes something was missing to his life all those years.

Erik is flirting openly.

Moira doesn’t seem to realize (she doesn’t but doesn’t say anything bc Charles seems finally happy)

Charles decides to go take a bath.

Moira and Erik talk about Charles. About his twenties. She tells how they met, so does Erik.

She realizes what kind of relationship the two of them had all of those years ago.

They were lovers.

Erik had to leave bc his parents died and he accepted a job offer back in Germany.

[something happens]

At night Moira talks to Charles, tell him that she knows. Charles panics bc homosexuality is still illegal. She reassures him and explain that she’s happy he’s being his true self. Bc in almost twenty years she hasn’t seen that much joy and love in his eyes.

He says that he loves her.

« I know, my love, but you don’t look at me the same way you look at him. Your heart has never been mine. It has always been his. »

The next day, Moira decides to go to her sister’s just to give them time together. She understands. She supports it.

Erik and Charles talk a lot. They play chess. And it feels right.

For the first time in years, Charles feels like a whole.

Erik puts his hand on Charles’, locks his eyes in Charles’ and with a smile, lean over the chess board and kisses him. A gentle and loving kiss.

After all these years, they are reunited. They are together. Where they should have always been.

« I have been dreaming about this day, mein schatz. And it is even better than everything I could have dreamed of. »

Should I write it ??

Hi !

I just wrote my first Cherik fic on AO3, so if you like sad endings it’s a good fic for you ! but I swear it’s good and worth it !

Here’s the link !

Thinking about Erik’s daughter Nina Górska’s life in a world where she left that forest alive, even if her mother did not. To escape the Polish authorities, she and her papa emigrate to Westchester and move into the mansion. She is quick to bond with Charles and her older siblings. She grows up at the school and develops an enjoyment of music, particularly singing, but her greatest passion is a natural result of her mutation, and she is determined to use her connection with animals to make a difference in the world. Her singing is like a beacon to the animals around her, and thus it only takes one viewing of Snow White to make her an ardent Disney Princess fan because she just gets it. With Charles gladly paying every cent, she eventually heads off to college for her degree in biology and music. She changes her legal surname to Lehnsherr to show her pride in being her father’s daughter, and most likely obtains American citizenship while never forgetting her Polish roots. She is fluent in Polish, English, German, Hebrew, and Yiddish. It is she who helps Charles to realize his power does indeed extend to animals, thus they enjoy having three-way conversations with dogs and horses. Her mutation gives her unprecedented influence over the animal rights movement and she becomes an icon of zoological studies and veterinary practices, traveling the world decreasing poaching, encouraging vegetarian diets, creating new habitats, and saving multiple species from extinction, quite possibly reaching a global level of fame in the process. She becomes close friends with figures like Jane Goodall, to whom she is held in equal public regard, and Koko. Eventually in her travels, she meets a fellow activist who just may be a mutant as well, and they happily marry and have daughters (one of whom is named after Magda) to whom she sings the bedtime lullaby that her papa sang to her. I doubt she’s one of the actual X-Men; her powers aren’t very combat-worthy and she’s not interested in a violent lifestyle. But if ever trouble arises, she is quick to rally an army of the nearest birds and critters to protect her loved ones. Peter, Wanda, and Lorna insist she have a unique and proper mutant name of her own, team member or not, and so she becomes known as Fauna.

I like to imagine that when Charles joined Erik on Genosha, Erik built a new house near a lake. Simply because Charles told him the view was splendid.

A house a bit like this one:

(I’m in Ireland and I’m obsessed with the view. I feel like I’m at Genosha)

Chapter 4 of my fic brought you the fish boyfriend, so I thought I'd do a quick little drawing to go with it<3

Supernatural AU: Erik is hunting down the demon that killed his wife while trying to protect his teen daughter, Nina, who is suddenly developing strange abilities such as talking with animals. An Angel who calls himself Charles has taken a shine to them both. All this is happening while some other pair of hunters are trying to stop the apocalypse or something.
