Epic Cherik Rec List

Hello, dear ones of the fandom of my heart! I think the majority of you are aware of my ‘Cherik Rec List of DOOM’ from over on LJ. Due to RL reasons, I have flocked my journal and will no longer have the time to keep up with this massive rec list which is by no means complete. Instead, I am posting it here for posterity and will now be reccing fics individually on my tumblr. All Cherik recs will be tagged with #cherik fic rec and I’ll have a direct link to the tag for easy finding. Happy reading! :D

What you will not find here: Unhappy endings. Here’s hoping that none of the WIP fic writers turn me into a liar. fingers crossed I like living in the land of Denile just fine, thank you very much. Beach!divorce? What beach!divorce? LALALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU LALALALALALA. What you will find here: Lots of AU’s and shameless fix-it fics filled with angst, UST, fluff, schmoop, PWP and H/C as well as some mpreg, crack, dub-con and violence.

This list is divided into 5 categories with each one of them alphabetized according to the title: (1) General/Canon verse, (2) PWP, (3) AU, (4) DoFP Specific and (5) Epic, which consists of fic that is over 70,000 words.

Baby, It’s Just a State of Mind by confusedkayt. There’s an awful lot of downtime on a recruiting trip across the country - more than enough time for Charles and Erik to learn a great deal about themselves, their powers, each other, and the place they can forge for themselves in society.

The Beats Of My Heart That I Gave You by luninosity. Early days at the mansion, fluff, hurt/comfort, Erik building bookshelves for Charles, first-time I-love-you moments, happy endings.

Celestial Navigation by kaydeefalls. Not everything has to be life or death. Sometimes it snows in September, just because a little girl wills it so.

The Chapter In Your Life Entitled San Francisco by fengirl88. Charles and Erik’s recruiting trip leads them to San Francisco and the counter-culture of the Beat Generation. But who is the mysterious mutant they’ve come to find, and why is it proving so hard to track him down? The answer will change their relationship in ways neither of them had anticipated.

Chessmen by zamwessell. Erik’s mind was a castle, he thought, then dismissed the thought as silly and somehow over dramatized. But he could not come up with anything better - castle indeed, with the dark corners, the sudden turnings, the hidden treasure-rooms with their guardian dragons. Perhaps the metaphor was less inapt than he had thought. He wanted to roam those corridors for hours, learn the twists and turns, find the minotaurs in that labyrinth and know them too.

Logic About Bones by pearl_o. Erik has worked hard, over the last several years, to accustom himself to luxuries and fine things, to move in those worlds unnoticed alongside those who’ve known them from the cradle. He does not want to take any of it for granted, either, though, and it is a fine line to walk.

Set Fire to the Rain by felonytexas. How Charles and Erik evolved from friends to oh so much more.

Triangles by zombieboyband. It is a truth (almost) universally acknowledged that a single man sucking dick is more gay than a man getting his dick sucked. This is why Charles’s knees are scuffing against cheap hotel carpet, why his palms are pressed against thin hotel wallpaper.

It’s never been the other way around, but here’s the thing about Charles: he’s willing to take one for the team.

Tale As Old As Time by madneto. 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.

He can’t seem to shake the restless feeling that there’s something very familiar about the dreams and that he’s standing on the edge of something very big about to happen. And then one day Ordon Village is attacked by monsters straight out of nightmares and Erik’s world is turned upside down when a dark, evil power puts all of Hyrule under a sleeping spell. What starts out as a mission to save his village turns into a quest to save the entire realm, because he just may be the only one who can.

The Long Pause by spicedpiano and tahariel. A year ago, it went without saying: Charles and Erik were going to get married. That was then. Now Erik can scarcely stand to be in the same room as him, and Charles is left loving a man who may never love him back. When Erik loses his job, Charles volunteers to take him and his young son in. It means close quarters, and walking a minefield between providing for them and not being accused of charity or, worse, bribery. But maybe if Charles can keep treading that line long enough, Erik can find his way back to where they started.

Math Reasons by pearl_o and pocky_slash. “Mom says Erik always knows what he wants, it just sometimes takes him a little while to actually realize it,” Ruth said. Charles fell in love with Erik the first night they met, the first week of freshman year. Two years of friendship, adventures, arguments, hijinks, secrets, and summer visits later, Erik is starting to catch up.

(WIP) Nine Eleven Ten by Subtilior. Years later, Charles would remember that day. Sometimes he would wonder if he could have changed anything; other times he would despair over what he had since become. But he would always hold the image in his mind: Raven, laughing, and his thoughts flying alongside her on strong wings, silver-gold through the winter air. Once upon a time.

Pantheon by Yahtzee. In the year 96 AD, all Rome is aware that their gods have begun to Mark certain people with their gifts – the healing power of Apollo, the metal control of Vulcan, the deathly touch of Pluto, or the mental powers of Minerva. When those gifts fall to slaves or barbarians instead of the Romans themselves, strict control is necessary. Then a gladiator from Judea meets an enslaved scribe from Britannia, and the repercussions will shake the Empire itself.

A Place to Fall by ikeracity. While being tasked to protect Charles Xavier, the annoyingly charming CEO of Xavier Pharmaceuticals, SHIELD agent Erik receives further orders to use Charles as a source of information to find and capture Professor X, the elusive leader of the renegade band of mutants called the X-Men. Of course, that’s a rather difficult proposition, given that the man he’s hunting is the same as the one he’s trying to protect. And the fact that Erik’s starting to find Charles more than a little attractive complicates everything.

The Proper Care of Actors by afrocurl, clear_liqueur, clocks and etharei. Erik is an A-list action star who is notoriously difficult to work with, until the day he gets cast alongside Charles, rom-com darling who can charm the pants off movie audiences the world over and apparently even one Erik Lehnsherr. The paparazzi catch them out and about soon enough, and their real-life Hollywood movie romance becomes instant tabloid fodder.

Ritual Self-Torture by turtletotem. Shaw is King, Charles is his royal consort and Erik is a Knight/Lord. Shaw is sterile but his kingdom can’t find out, so he asks Erik to impregnate Charles. He doesn’t know Erik and Charles are in love.

Roses & Cinnamon by turtletotem. Charles lost more than his leg in the war with Napoleon, and the man he’s just pulled out of the water has ghosts of his own – especially when Charles’s involuntary projected hallucinations prove catching.

Rumor Has It by blueink3. Nearly six months after Cuba, Charles’ life is turned upside down for the second time. Though he’s slowly learning to adapt to the first, he’s not sure he can handle the second. Luckily for him, there are a few people out there more than willing to help.

The Secret of the Knights Templar by madneto. Erik is a CIA agent who has been tracking down Shaw for the past ten years with no real end in sight. When he stumbles upon an unexpected lead that will put him one step ahead of Shaw at last, archaeology professor Charles becomes unwittingly entangled in the fray, and Erik suddenly finds himself with a brand new partner who is the only one who can truly help him on what’s become a quest to find the Holy Grail. But Charles is even more than Erik bargained for, especially after they’re forced to pretend to be a married couple as a cover while racing to find the Grail before Shaw does, and both Erik and Charles find they’ve possibly bitten off more than they can chew.

Shadowside Series by macx_larabee. It’s a dark and stormy night. Yes, really. And things only go downhill from there. An AU where Charles is not paralyzed and he and Erik are telepathically bonded.

Shifter Verse (Rat and Shark) by macx_larabee. Erik was born different. He was one of the Cursed. He was a shark, a trained killer, a weapon created by Shaw. And he was a loner – until Charles stepped into his life and followed him home. Erik had no idea who and what Charles really was, aside from annoying and irritating and so adorable. But he is about to find out.

The Sonnet Series by nekosmuse. Erik is a visiting professor at Columbia University, as well as an acclaimed and award winning poet. Charles is a lead researcher with the Genetics Department who is well on his way to tenure. But what happens when Charles has to cancel a class because half his students abandon him in favour of a mysterious new English Lit professor? Naturally he ends up sitting in on the class, where Professor Lehnsherr mistakes him for a student. It’s really too bad Erik has such a strict policy against dating students. It’s also too bad Erik doesn’t seem to know how to use Google.

(WIP) Space Oddity Series by Pangea and monstrousreg. Prince Charles Xavier is Deputy Commander of the TEF Heartsteel and the newest mission they’ve been assigned starts out less than desirable and quickly goes downhill from there. It’s alright, though, he’ll cope. It doesn’t help, though, that he’s in unrequited love with his best friend and Commander of the Heartsteel, War-Prince Erik Lehnsherr.

The stars incline us, they do not bind us by Pangea and ikeracity. Intergalactic Federation pilot Lieutenant Charles Xavier is assigned last-minute to a high profile mission: transporting over two thousand prison inmates from an old and overfilled prison complex to a newer, higher-capacity prison stronghold located on the outer reaches of the galaxy. Just as he’s settling down for a long and uneventful ride, things take a turn for the worse after the inmates riot and stage a hostile takeover of the ship, leaving Charles to find himself at the complete mercy of cold-blooded killers and facing the chilling prospect that he might not ever make it back home alive.

Strict Machine by euphorbic. When Professor Xavier accepted a visiting professor position in Arizona, he did so in order to be geographically closer to his sister. What he did not expect to find was the living, breathing specter of the sportbike gang-oriented past he’d been trying to put to rest.

Supernatural and the Scientist by cara_dee. Charles is a upcoming geneticist and wildlife biologist who’s next big thesis reveals a little to much about the hidden werewolf community. Erik is supposed to figure out who is feeding Xavier the information and put an end to it. However, things are not what they appear.

Sweet Torture by butterynutjob. Charles has always fantasized about bondage and being a submissive. When he sees an ad for “Professional Dom, Master Erik” he can’t resist making an appointment. It’s too bad Erik does not allow himself to date his clients…

(WIP) A Terrifically Bad Idea by excepttemptation. Charles has been the personal Pet of high-profile businessman Sebastian Shaw, whose impending marriage to Emma Frost comes with certain conditions– namely, that he ditch the Pet. At Azazel’s suggestion, Erik purchases Charles’s contract in an attempt to glean information about Shaw’s not-quite-legal banking practices. Azazel is surprisingly unconcerned when that doesn’t quite play out how they expect it to.

Tessellation by nekosmuse. He had been following Xavier’s career for years. He had read and reread and reread again everything the man had written. He had tried, on more occasions than he could count, to recruit Xavier into the Brotherhood, but each request for a meeting had been denied. Aside from his work, no one knew anything about Xavier. Not what he looked like, not the full extent of his power–though from what little they did know, he was by far the most powerful telepath in existence–and not what his intentions were. The man was a recluse. As far as Magneto knew, Xavier had never once stepped foot outside his impenetrable Westchester manor. And now he was scheduled as the keynote speaker for the largest pro-mutant conference in the world.

This Harbour (that we call home) by nekosmuse. It’s hard not to get swept away by Charles’ enthusiasm. The idea of finding others like him–of belonging–is seductive, but it is the thought of spending his life at this man’s side that decides it. Crane or man, Erik cannot help but fall into Charles’ orbit. An alternate meeting loosely based on the Japanese folktale, The Crane Wife.

(WIP)Through the Barricades Series by starandrea. Erik and Charles learned to live without each other once. It’s harder the second time–so before they even discuss it, they’ve decided not to try. (Erik accidentally moves into the mansion without anyone by Charles noticing for days. He may be the first to return, but he won’t be the last.)

To Rattle the Stars by Pangea. All his life Charles has chafed at the bonds of gravity that hold him bound to tiny and backwater Montressor, more at home in the sky on his solar surfer than on the ground, where he’s stuck working at his stepfather’s inn. His heart and soul yearn for the stars, and it’s his dream to one day be a spacer and sail across the cosmos on adventure. The opportunity comes sooner than he ever imagined one night when a ship crash-lands on the inn’s front doorstep, carrying a dying pirate with a mysterious map and a dire warning: beware the cyborg.

Tough little baby telepath series by pearl_o and aesc. Teenage telepath Charles takes a job as a consultant, working with prickly police detective Lehnsherr. Charles is used to being on his own and taking care of himself; he has no reason to think that his relationship with this stern, icy man is going to change any of that.

Tuesday Plays the Piper by Sperare. In a world where the population is barely holding steady, those of either gender who are capable of bearing children are considered a prized commodity. In all places beyond Westchester, their rights are few–and, with Erik Lehnsherr poised to tear down the gates of the city, even that last haven is on the brink of destruction. But, for Charles Xavier, the consequences of conquest may prove to be more personal than political. No one quite knows why Erik Lehnsherr is so set on capturing his old friend and partner in the war against Shaw: Charles Xavier is no bearer, and he’s disinclined to aid Erik in firmly establishing mutant supremacy once and for all. Charles, however, is all too aware of Erik’s reasons. Erik knows things about him that no one else does–things which, if brought to light, would would mean surrendering far more than just a kingdom. Not a conventional happily ever after ending on this one, but for this story it is as good as it gets and I’m still reccing it.

The Wasteland by nekosmuse. The White Queen and her Shadow King sit on their throne, safe behind the psionic shields of the Walled City. The armies of Genosha batter uselessly at the gates, a war locked in stalemate. Magneto, camped in the frozen mud, receives word the Citadel intends to send a telepath to the front lines. The same telepath he met two years ago, who sat across a carved wooden chess set and offered Magneto the first friendly smile in a lifetime. The same telepath who still haunts his dreams.

We Met At The Park by starrose17. Unable to sleep one night, Erik takes a midnight walk in the local park. He finds himself being followed and propositioned by a rent boy named Charles, and begins to fall rather rapidly for his charms. Charles however has never known what love is, and doesn’t recognize it even when it’s staring at him in the face. As for Erik, he doesn’t realize a creeping illness is slowly affecting Charles, and his dark past is something he couldn’t have imagined.

What Can We Do Without You? by swoopswoop. Charles and the boys were holding onto a secret more dear to them than their own lives when Charles disappears into the night; Erik is betrayed and finds himself returning to Westchester in the hopes that the government was just trying to trick him. All the while the boys are stuck in the middle, left guarding the secret from the man they are most afraid of finding out who is weaseling his way back into their lives alarmingly easily.

What We All Long For by Nos4a2no9. Charles was heir to a vast fortune before his stepfather stole his birthright, his dignity, and his freedom. Forced to serve as Kurt’s informant and as a sexual plaything for the wealthy men of Europe’s upper crust, Charles yearns for nothing more than a quiet life free from shame and abuse. The death of his stepfather seems to offer a way out, but Charles is once again forced to serve the Markos when his stepbrother offers him up as collateral in a game of chance. Suddenly Charles becomes the property of Erik, a mysterious gambler with a thirst for revenge. When love between the two men begins to blossom, Charles finally discovers what is at the heart of Erik’s tragic story, and why he is set upon a devastating course of revenge that will endanger Erik, Charles, and everything they have longed for.

When we learn to Love and Hate by fireflydown. Charles, a novice working for Lehnsherr Enterprises, meets the homophobic boss from hell, Erik.

Little did they know that being together all the time will change their lives forever and bring them closer to one another in a way they never thought possible…

White Nights by tahariel & spicedpiano. Duke Erik Lehnsherr of Ironhold needs an omega to carry on his line, and Earl Charles Xavier of Salem needs an alpha to give him the political leverage he needs in order to make his sister Queen. An arranged marriage brings them together, but Erik’s lust for war and Charles’ hidden agenda threaten to tear them apart. In the frozen Northlands of Ironhold life is hard and cold, and both Charles and Erik must give up their pretense and see each other as they really are: perfect for each other, if only they’ll acknowledge it.

XXX-men by butterynutjob. Set in Los Angeles in 2002, Charles and Erik are porn stars in a universe where the Registration Act has forced many mutants to do less-than-savory things to survive in a society where discrimination against mutants is rampant. Adult films are one of the few industries where mutants can legally make some decent money, and Charles was doing fine at it until he met fellow porn star and mutant Erik and realized that he was not as okay with his life as he had thought.
