#And I admit I have another couple of WIPs for Western media I'm considering finishing

Following you here from AO3 (I am teacup_gremlin there) and just had to send you a quick message, as I am a mid thirties librarian too 😆 Nice to meet you! I loved your fic and will look out for more of your writing.

Oh hi! Nice to meet you, fellow librarian! 😄

I must admit that I'm not currently working at a library, however. It's library adjacent, though! I'm one of the people in charge of a children's website (available in six different languages!) funded by the libraries in my region. So I'm technically some sort of IT person now. It feels weird 😆

I'm so glad you liked the fic! To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll ever write more Cherik, though. As I mentioned, this one was old to begin with and even if I rewatched all the X-Men movies recently — which was why I even remembered that I had this fanfic to begin with — I'm also a little intimidated by the prospect. They're characters with a long, complex canon and I have only ever watched the movies and some of the cartoons when I was a kid. I don't really feel qualified to write anything more substantial than the short one I just posted, if you know what I mean?

(Though, not going to lie, the thought of a finally-getting-together, painfully domestic and fluffy slow-burn fic set after Dark Phoenix is very tempting. That ending felt like a blessing to fanfic writers to just grab Charles and Erik and run.

"I'd like to do the same for you."

Mr. Magneto. Sir. Sir.)

Anyhow! I wish I could give you more hope for more Cherik fics but, as mentioned, I'm a little scared 🤣 And, tbh, a little too busy at the moment >_>

Still! Thank you so much for the compliments and the message! Please take care 💜
