*grabby hands* the touch starved title PLEASE I BEG

The snippet you asked for my dear- section one of the touch starved fic.

~~~

Erik was a man of routine- he ran at the same time every morning and ate the same thing for breakfast everyday. He had no interest in changing who he was or his routine, but his routine meant he normally saw the same people every morning. Only a few of the munchkins at Charles’ home for wayward children were early risers and even fewer ventured out of their rooms before the first wake-up bell. So, when Erik came in from his run to make his morning smoothie and oatmeal he was surprised to see his son- of all children- awake at the kitchen table. The boy was holding a mug in his hand and seemed to be staring down at it like it had the answers to creation inside. 

“You know, pondering life's many questions while looking into a warm drink seems to be more Charles’ forte than yours.”

Peter didn’t look up from his mug.

“What’s wrong?” Erik questioned him, the idea of breakfast escaping his mind as his worry for his son took over. Peter was normally one of the last ones to wake in the entire mansion- half the time most of the early kids would be outside waiting on him to arrive so class could begin. Peter being awake at 6:30 am? Abnormal.

“Couldn’t sleep I guess. Lots on my mind.”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“No.” Peter said quickly before pausing, “Sorry.”

“It’s alright,” Erik reassured, lifting his hand intending to squeeze the boys shoulder. Before he can he feels a bit of wind and in a blink Peter is standing at the other side of the kitchen. 

“Hey, I feel so much better thanks for the help Erik, bye.” He said before rushing out of the kitchen.

Apparently, Peter didn’t want Erik to comfort him.

Second Week of the House of Dadneto!

Homecoming by @theaterpug-writes

Erik greets Peter after a long mission.

First Meeting by @dick-helmet-magneto

Fifteen years in and Peter had decided he wanted to meet the man, the other half that created him. And so, for the next year his mom had been working, helping him find Magneto and arrange a day to meet him. Now that the day had come around, Peter was having second thoughts.

Let the World Burn by @superherotiger

Dadneto Animatic: Power Deprivation

Scars Tell A Story by @dick-helmet-magneto

The house fire that had taken her mother, his wife, from them had left Anya with burn scars on her body, over her legs, across her arm, reaching up on her neck, and onto her cheek. He knew then that it was something they’d be talking about when she got older. Not that he was thinking about that at the moment, the panic as he wanted to find her and Magda, make sure they were both alive and okay. --- The day comes when Anya is insecure about her scars. Erik reassures her and shows her his own and Charles does the same.

"Have we met?" by @superherotiger

Dadneto Animatic: First Meeting

Designated Father by @callie-caje

Erik had been called many things in his life, from Monster to X-Men to Husband. His favorite title of all had to be Father.

Your Love Is My Gravity by @superherotiger

For all that he loved about being an X-Man, Peter couldn’t help but crave the comfort of his mother’s hand brushing through his hair, or the adoring gleam in her eyes as she gazed upon her son. A touch that felt like safety. A smile that made it home. Without it, a part of Peter would always feel out of place in the new life he’d hoped to build for himself. That’s where Erik Lehnsherr came into the picture. ~~~ Or, Peter and Erik create a new family tradition.

Adding a Third by @dick-helmet-magneto

“I think my girlfriend broke up with me,” Pietro whispered, not meeting Erik’s eyes. “Do you want to talk to me about what happened?” “I don’t know,” Pietro said, “I mean yes, I want to talk about it but I don’t know what happened. She’s been acting strange lately and then today I asked her if everything was alright and she got mad at me. She started yelling and then she said something about a third so, you know, I think there’s another guy and she likes him more. I don’t know. After she kept going, I couldn’t take it anymore and I just ran. This isn’t like Crystal at all.” Erik nodded, “Mein Sohn, what did she say about a third?”

If there are any details missing or mistakes in this list please let us know and we will amend it as soon as possible!

Thanks again to everyone who has participated so far! We've loved seeing your creations and we hope to see many more as June continues! ✨

[superherotiger]

Was consumed by the rot and being held at gunpoint by @sunsetuniverse till 2:30am last night to create this animatic for my Dark DOFP AU, and I have NO regrets haha!

The premise is that Erik is imagining a world where they won the war only to remember that not only did they not win, but he lost his son in the process.

This was so much fun to make! I've also been trying to transition to using photoshop and this was great practice, so hopefully more animatics in store for the future! (Maybe even taking this one to completion 👀) Hope you all have an awesome day!

First Week of the House of Dadneto!

Rest now, my child (the day is over) by @superherotiger

Erik helps Peter through the aftermath of a failed mission.

safer to be alone by @creaturejaskier

"With Erik’s children, he’s always dealt with their pain--cut fingers, scraped knees, fire…and arrows--but that’s just the physical." Another child? How can he accept this when he's failed as a father so many times before?

Finding Home by @dick-helmet-magneto

"It hadn’t been like Erik wanted to leave them. There had never been a time since his children were born that he wanted to leave them for any reason. Sadly though, there were times when it had to be done and this was just another one of those occasions. " - Erik goes on a mission and leaves the twins at the school with Charles. After the longest he's ever been away from them, they're reunited.

reunited (yet all alone) by @callie-caje

Time had not been kind to Erik. Years upon years spent in a cell, moved from cement to glass to plastic prisons had begun to show its strain in the man's face. Peter could see it in the lines on his forehead to his gaunt cheeks and dim eyes. It was time to remedy that. OR Peter heads to the Pentagon with his Dad to free his friend Erik from prison. Secrets are revealed.

The Father's Day Cards by @dick-helmet-magneto

"It had taken Pietro a concerning amount of time to come to the, perhaps obvious, decision on how to tell Erik that he was his father. A card. It was simple, easy, and best of all, he could give it to Erik and run away as he looked at it. All around, it sounded like the best plan he could’ve had. And to make it better, Father’s Day was coming up. What better day to give the card to him?"

Misfortune by @theaterpug-writes

“Whatever decisions you make, make them well.” Wanda said, staring into his eyes with a sympathetic expression. “I will.” “I trust you’ll follow your heart.” She continued, “If there’s one thing I know, it’s that.” “Does this mean you trust me to make the right decision?” “No.” She smiled sadly, “It means I trust that you’ll make the decision you believe in.” Wanda and Erik play chess.

Powerless by @dick-helmet-magneto

"When her powers first manifested, he had felt a pride he had never before known. The knowledge that he shared something else with his daughter, something she got from him, he could help her learn to control and master them. But what he hadn’t considered at the time was the target that was going to make on her back. Of course, sharing something with Magneto would be dangerous. He should’ve seen that coming but for some reason, he hadn’t. That only made it worse when he found out his daughter was captured."

Polaris by @theaterpug-writes

Erik takes 7-year-old Lorna stargazing.

Important Decisions by @dick-helmet-magneto

“Did you know there’s a school for mutants?” Wanda asked and Erik paused washing the dishes to look at her. “What?” He asked, “How do you know about this? Where is it?” It wasn't a bad idea, exactly. He couldn’t imagine it being anywhere near their house or he would know about it. “New York,” The girl replied, “Where is New York, papa?” Of course, it would be on another continent. “It’s in the U.S.” He replied, going back to washing, “You didn’t say, how did you learn about this school?” “Someone told me. He said we could all stay and he was the one running the school and his name was Charles. He was in my head. Do people have powers to do that?” ” She replied, rocking back and forth on her feet as she talked to her dad, “Can we go? It would be fun.” - Single father of five Erik homeschools his kids until he's made aware of Xavier's School. A school most of his kids want to go to.

Acceleration, Tangential Speed, and the Practicality of Fatherhood by @theaterpug-writes

As Erik fixes up a broken Training Sentinel in the Danger Room, he and his son have a heart-to-heart.

astronomers by @creaturejaskier

“Up for midnight tea and cookies or something?” “You can’t lead a life such as mine without some things haunting you.” “Oh.”

In the Name of Love by @nathanbellamy

Days after Erik stumbles upon Peter and Kurt covertly kissing in the library, he learns that Peter has a secret he's been too afraid to share, and Erik comes to the only logical conclusion: Peter is struggling to come out of the closet to Erik. Not wanting to force Peter before he's ready, Erik devises the ultimate plan to make Peter feel loved and accepted for his sexuality in every way possible. No matter what it takes, Erik will show Peter that there's nothing wrong with being gay. It’s a foolproof scheme, except for one problem—not only does everyone at the mansion already know that Peter's gay, but now Peter thinks Erik's so obsessed with romance that he'd never have time...for a secret son.

I Think I Saw A Ghost by @superherotiger

Dadneto Edit: Parallels

Nina Ruth Gurzsky by @theaterpug-writes

The night after his daughter is born, Erik contemplates his new role.

Like Father Like Son by @dick-helmet-magneto

“Can you help me find Pietro? I want to make sure he’s okay too?” There was silence after the question and Erik noticed Charles looking off behind him. Erik turned his head to look where Charles was to find Jean and Scott behind him. They were both silent as well and Erik felt his heart drop. “Charles, where is my son?” He asked, his head turning back to look at the man. “Where’s my boy? Tell me he’s okay.” There were tears in his eyes that he was fighting, doing everything in his power to keep himself from panicking at least until he had an answer. - Pietro is hurt in battle with the Sentinels. Erik's reaction isn't out of proportion at all, even if his boy will be okay.

An Overture to the Rest of Our Lives by @theaterpug-writes

When Erik gets shot on a mission gone wrong, Peter contemplates their relationship, and what his father truly means to him.

Weather the storm by Whiplaaash123

Upon overhearing Peter on the phone, Erik begins to wonder what exactly is up with his son, and why does he keep avoiding talking to him all of a sudden? Wherein Erik tries to do what's best for his son.

Work Song by @sunsetuniverse

Dadneto Edit: Good Ending + Parallels

Dear Dad by @theaterpug-writes

You’ve been all over the news lately, so Charles has banned all students under the age of fifteen from watching it because Peter kept getting into fights with other kids over you and the Brotherhood. I know you’re helping mutants, but I still worry about you and I want you to come home, even if that means you’re not helping mutants anymore, I hope that doesn't make me selfish, even though I think it does. After the assassination of JFK and her father's arrest, Wanda writes a letter.

Running Away by @dick-helmet-magneto

“We’re going to ask one more time, Erik, and we both want an answer from you,” Charles said, and Erik had never seen the look on his face before. It almost scared him. “What happened on your last mission?” “Yeah,” Pietro said, “You’ve been acting strange since you came back. We all know something happened. The limping, the sleeping. You haven’t been on a run once,” He listed off, “You run anytime anyone asks, and believe me, I know what it means when someone keeps running away like that.” 

One Son's Worth by @superherotiger

Peter becomes the target of an assassin from the future, and the only way he'll survive the week is with the help of his team, a couple of time travellers, and his father. Only problem is, Peter still hasn't told Erik the truth…

shelter me from the storm by @lunasquared

“This okay?” Peter questioned. Erik nodded and Peter let out a breath, allowing himself to sink further into his dad’s side. He wasn’t exactly sure if this was helping Erik or not but the man told him he could stay so it had to be doing something or at least nothing of harm. OR Erik is scared of storms and Peter is there to comfort him.

Time in a Bottle by @theaterpug-writes

A moment in time between father and son.

We'll be a fine line by Etoilemauve

A character study of Dadneto through Charles' eyes

Scraped Knees and Sweets by @dick-helmet-magneto

Erik could say there wasn’t much that scared him. Not anymore. He felt like he’d lived through the worst of the worst and now he could take on anything and live to tell the tale. There was one thing—person—that could scare him to death though. She had brown hair and his eyes, a smiling four-year-old who was just as stubborn as he and her mama.

Outrun All Harm (Back Into My Arms) - Dadneto fic

Guess who's back at it again with another Dadneto fic haha! This time I was enabled by the amazing and incredible @callie-caje, who had the brilliant idea of sprinting together under a timelimit to get some short fics done! I had an absolute blast writing this one with the prompt 'touching foreheads', and I can't wait to do more drabbles like this in the future! Thanks for all your help and encouragement beloved, and I hope a certain bestie (@sunsetuniverse) enjoys the surprise content ;) Love you all, and thanks for reading!

“Uh- guys? The prisoner cells are all empty?”

“There’s no guards either. Are we sure we got the right place-?”

“Our intel must be outdated, everyone regroup-“

“Wait, something’s wrong…”

“-There’s a bomb! Get out! Everyone get out-!”

When the stern calls and commands echoing over the X-Men comms suddenly went dead with static, Erik felt like he was going to be sick.

The floor was unsteady beneath his legs, as if the world were tilting off its axis. Walls shook and trembled, and lights flickered in distress. Erik thought for a moment that it was just in his head because oh God, Peter is on that mission, something went wrong- he’s hurt- he’s hurt- he’s dying-! But then he noticed Charles trying to call his name with panic flooding his every feature, desperately trying to stay clear of the warping metal walls all around them.

You must calm your mind, Erik!

But how- how could Erik be calm when his son was out there, most likely in danger?

Hell, it was Peter after all, he probably jumped into the danger himself!

Memories of a dark, silent forest and a bloodied locket in his hand flashed across Erik’s vision, and for a terrifying heartbeat, he wondered if history was about to repeat itself. If fate were coming to claim the last remnants of his family.

He couldn’t do it again.

He couldn’t lose another beloved child.

Not Peter, Erik begged silently to the heavens. Please, not my son…

And for what felt like the first time in his life, he received an answer.

“Man, what’s with this team and explosions, huh?”

Spinning around like a tornado at the familiar, laid-back voice behind him, Erik’s knees nearly buckled at the sight of his son -bright and smiling and so wonderfully unharmed- standing amidst a group of stunned, pale-skinned X-Men who were trying their best not to throw up all over the freshly polished floor.

“It’s a good thing you’ve got me to save your skins, huh?” Peter remarked playfully.

“Not our lunches though,” Scott moaned back, before stumbling over to the rubbish bin with an ungraceful heave.

But not even Summers’ disgusting retches could spoil the burst of pride and relief radiating out from Erik’s chest at the sight of his son standing ahead of him. Peter had saved them all -because of course he had, he always did- and Erik was left to marvel at the boy he had the privilege to call his own.

As much as Peter appeared unphased from their near brush with death however, Erik’s veins were still flooded with an undercurrent of terror that had the man clenching his fist in a purely instinctive movement, dragging a startled yelp from his son as he was suddenly jerked forward by the zipper of his jacket. It appeared no one -especially Peter- knew how to react to the unexpected turn as the speedster stumbled over his own feet like a newborn fawn, pulled along by an invisible string until he crashed heavily into his father’s awaiting arms.

“Are you hurt, mein kind?” Erik asked in a shudder of relief as he held the boy tight in his embrace.

“No, no, I’m fine…” Peter reassured swiftly, before wrapping his own arms around his father’s back and turning to lean into the crook of Erik’s neck with a chuckle. “Maybe a little humiliated by getting dragged across the room like a paperclip, but hey- I’ll just dress you up as a clown mid-way through the next meeting as payback.”

“Don’t you dare,” Erik said coldly, though the hand brushing gently through Peter’s silver locks told a different story.

A small huff of amusement. “No promises, old man.”

Eventually, once Erik’s nerves had settled and his brain had confirmed that yes, his son was well and alive and perfectly safe, he pulled back just enough to peer into those dark, alluring eyes. They blinked back at him in fondness, so similar to another gentle gaze that had been lost so long ago. An echo of a fallen love, and the promise of a new one. Erik couldn’t hide the adoring smile that warmed his features as he took in such a beautiful sight.

And as the darkness that had been taunting his mind was chased away by the light of Peter’s presence, Erik closed his eyes and ever so gently rested his forehead against his son’s, pleased when the boy leant into the touch in return.

Fate hadn’t caught up to them yet, and maybe if they were lucky, it never would.

After all, whether it be a deadly explosion or the trickling sands of time, there was nothing Peter Maximoff couldn’t outrun.
