#91110 is my fucking baby

Can you make a list of cherik fic recs?

I don't have many but!

the one, and thee only, the light of my fucking life, you will unfortunately have to read through many chapters until it gets into the delicious, delicious meat, it's unfinished, AND the trigger warnings are massive—NINE ELEVEN TEN! 👏🎉👏🎉👏 it's got everything, it's got unreliable narration, it's got badass charles who woobifies himself, it's got victmised erik, it's got a deep exploration of powers, it's got well researched politics, nuclear apocalypse, emma "peg me" frost, communist raven, realistic matter of fact problems of an apocalyptic wasteland, beautiful sex scenes, intimate scenarios that hit DEEP, exploration of charles' privileged perspective, aaaaaa. I love it. I love it so much. it's the one that started the charles is abducted by erik fic trend but unfortunately none of its copies have the pussy it has cause they forget to add the six layers of unreliable narration and propaganda and also give Charles Erik's trauma which is unforgiveable as far as I'm concerned.

Next. Shorter, sweeter, complete, cherik if they weren't so tortured—I guess I should say thanks or some shit. AKA Amsterdam fic. Absolutely NAILS Charles' characterisation. Character exploration Charles and how he deals with the morality of telepathy and his huge fucking crush on erik. Sexay.

Okay this one is omegaverse don't judge me. This is so fucking self indulgent for ME, PERSONALLY. Everything I ever wanted. Omega! Erik is abducted by Shaw and Alpha! Charles spends years and years finding him, saving him, healing him, pining after him. So good. The Dark of Your Body.

An Ideal Grace—professor au where erik thinks charles is a student leading to months of misunderstanding. very frasier-esque hair rippingly frustrating slowburn. And finally, Limited Release by thee rageprufrock herself. it's a fic with sexy worldbuilding but erik and raven are feds which is honestly horribly, experience-breakingly ooc imo. It gets a pass only because the writing is THAT good.

hi i was unable to finish 9 11 10 but i would rrreeeally like to know whats going on with erik in that fic so if you want could i get a rundown??? i understand the fic is like. super long and im assuming erik does a lot in all that so if you dont wanna i understand!!

so basically erik, emma, and shaw start ww3 and destroy the world. erik kills shaw and wants to be ruler. emma scrambles his brains to retain power, which is a continuous process of her slowly destroying his mind.

meanwhile (before, during, and after annihilation) they establish ebs—an empire of mutants—and after nuclear annihiliation the usa becomes the free west, a tyrannical, conservative anti-mutant empire run by Stryker and they enter war. the EBS fixes the gulf stream to somewhat normalise the global temperature and leverages that and other resources against the UK and other countries to give them the right to recruit whatever powerful mutants that live within their borders for their own army.

somewhere in this process emma also rapes erik to impregnate herself with jean.

erik's mind is essentially destroyed. he's very rarely lucid, doesn't remember anything that happened to him, and has extremely severe PTSD from the holocaust and shaw and Emma's abuse but cannot even rember his trauma. he realises he loves charles and doesn't really know what to do with it. he DOES have moments of lucidity but it's nothing compared to the man he used to be—and charles thinks of him as a thing because his shattered mind reads borderline inhuman to his telepathy, run entirely by instinct.

Charles also manipulates the fuck out of him and his love and mindrapes him multiple times so.

he's a very broken, very angry person and everyone avoids him because he's still extremely powerful and terrifying but he has no agency—it's implied (??) that he can't even eat unless someone tells him to and he's emaciated most of the fic. essentially the most terrifying weapon in EBS' arsenal with as much control over his own life as a nuclear bomb
