#cherik dads au

[icarusredwings]

No thoughts. Just an AU where Jean is Moira Mactaggerts daughter and Charles is her father, but Moria died so now he's a widowed single dad.

Erik, who is now a widdow and single father too, due to Natalya Maximoff also dying, has trouble dealing with his twins by himself so asks Charles, an old fling, to help him.

Anyway, I'm thinking about Wanda telling Charles how much her daddy talks about him at home and Jean awkwardly telling Erik how sad and lonely her father is while painting his nails.

"Yeah. He talks about you this much" the child says, putting her arms out to show emphasis.

Charles only wants to mutter a small 'I know' but stops himself. "Oh? Is that so?"

She nods, "Yup. Peter thinks you look funny by way."

"Why? Because of my legs?"

"No. Because tou have no hair. He says you look like a egg."

"... ah.. I see.."

"Are you gonna tell daddy I said that?"

"Do you want me too?"

"No."

"Then I won't." And he doesn't, not very shocked at the idea of being called an egg. He's been called worse.

Meanwhile-

"My father is so sad."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. He's so lonely."

"...."

"And he misses you."

".... what else does he say?"

"I'm not supposed to talk about it." She says innocently and casually, painting his fingers black.

"Oh..."

She then, not so innocently, mentions something to him about ice cream.

It kind of freaks him out because it's like looking at a tiny charles. "Was that you?"

"Do you think your nails are pretty?" She changes the subject.

"Uh.. yeah.. Er.. hey! Do you want to come with me later to get Peter and Wanda ice cream?"

"Yes."

"Good...." It's at this moment that Erik realizes he was just bribed by a child. He doesn't know if he's creeped out or proud...

"...did you just?"

She gives him these big guilty eyes. "...Are you going to tell my papa?"

"No.. I won't tell him." He smiles.

"Won't tell me what?" Charles asks, coming in with Peter.

Erik almost jumps, wondering how much he heard. "Oh nothing. Just that were going to get ice cream later."

Peter throws his arms up "Yay!!"

Charles sighs, giving a nervous smile, the kind he gave when you know damn well he was judging you right now. "Im not sure if more sugar would be the best idea for this little lad right now."

"Did he break something?" Erik asks, used to his uncontrollable speed causing damage.

"Not yet." His mutters, through grit teeth and a glance that said 'this boy needs to run in the yard, NOT my mansion' kind of eyes.

Erik only laughs. "Alright, alright... let's go. Will you be joining us?"

"Us?"

"Yes. I mentioned bringing Jean along a few moments ago, remember?"

Charles only smirks. "You can't possibly think i'd let you pay."

"Yeah yeah, no need to flash your rich boy privileges at me. But for your information we are quite comfortable on our own. I don't need your financal pity."

"Oh trust me you don't need the financal kind.." he says under his breath, smirking when given a large glare. "I heard that."

But oh, why was his shit eating grin so.. kissable? He wanted to smear it off once the children went to bed. Charles has always been this way, though. He loved a good tease.

"Good."

what three marriages does to a mf

[bisexualmultifandommess]

Okay this is a good concept to me that I’ve had in my head for ages but love the idea of Charles and Erik being married and raising a baby Peter/Pietro (Depending on which name version you want to use) and everyone is surprised as he grows up because Peter’s really chill and quite funny and despite being a little mischievous is generally a sweet kid and they all thought he’d be more like Erik (they’re all used to Erik’s grumpy persona because they don’t know him as well as the family do and Erik is more likely to be kind to his husband and children than random people) and they’re like oh well he must be a little more like Charles then.

The thing that makes them think oh shit there’s Erik is when someone insults or hurts Charles in front of Peter and he gets the most furious look on his face that matches the look Erik gets when someone hurts or insults Charles.

I need fic recs please!

cherik hallmark movie au send tweet

reading this roused a visceral reaction within me im so sorry if you had something wholesome in mind

[star-lights-up]

GUYS GUYS: CHERIK GILMORE GIRLS AU

WOULD YOU READ IT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??????

Summary:

When sixteen-year-old Charles Xavier finds out that his girlfriend is pregnant, his entire life changes. Sarah doesn’t want the child – so Charles takes it upon himself to raise her. Even if that means getting kicked out of the house by his parents, not going to college, and starting over in a new town called Stars Hollow. 

Erik Lehnsherr’s parents died when he was young, leaving him with nothing but a hardware store. He turned it into a diner. For a time, he’s perfectly content with his mundane, predictable life. And then he meets Charles Xavier, an exuberant caffeine-addict raising a five-year-old daughter, and everything changes. Not that Erik will ever tell Charles that.

Jean is sixteen. While most people at her school are going on dates and having parties, she’s hanging out with her dad, who’s her best friend, and working as hard as she can to get into Harvard. And of course, it would help to be able to attend the prestigious high school Chilton. And of course her dad somehow finds the money to send her. And that’s just how things are. At least, until she meets Scott.

Charles as single dad extraordinaire to Jean. Erik as the grumpy diner owner who has two kids he doesn’t know about (Peter and Wanda).

Jean has her first boyfriend, Scott, but is intrigued by Erik’s nephew Logan. Jean’s best friend, Ororo, loves rock music and is secretly in a band, despite her strict mother.

Moira is Jean’s teacher, who Charles gets engaged to for a time. Magda was Erik’s girlfriend years ago, and she never told him that she was pregnant after they broke up. 

Raven is Charles’s best friend, who’s the chef at the inn they work at. Hank is their produce supplier, who Raven falls in love with. Alex is the grumpy guy who works at the front desk. 

I guess i'm in a fall mood lol!? I could see myself writing a short version of this, maybe not a full-on series since I already have one of those in progress. Idk! what do y'all think!?

[beaniebabyidiot]

Here is part 5 of me watching all the x-men movies in order with commentary from when I was texting my friend about it

fifth: dark phoenix

(ps i was told not to watch it but i made a commitment, I WILL watch all the x-men movies)

charles her parents just DIED and ur promoting ur school? i mean i know u want to help but give the girl time to process man

"it's a gift" SHE JUST KILLED HER PARENTS IDK IF SHE IS REALLY FEEING GIFTED

WHY IS HANK NORMAL AGAIN COME ON

oh nvm i guess he's blue again

mystique looks so much worse her wig and her makeup do not match what she looked like previously

why did kurt need a helmet and jean didn't? she is literally in the vacuum of space she should be dead rn

bro charles and raven are sooo out of character based on the previous movies, why did they just switch motivations and personalities???

oh hey dazzler!

i truly do belive that charles is trying to help jean and the other students, he just goes about it horribly

one thing i do like abt this movie is charles characterization, he comes off as really wanting to help and being a genuinely good person, he just can't admit his faults and SERIOUSLY messes up a lot

bro i know all of these actors can be good why are they acting so poorly?????

did the director just choose their worst takes??? like what??

so Jean is a God now?

girl i don't think they are afraid of u be ur so cool and powerful but because you killed a woman

WHOA SCOTT AND MAGNETO ARE SWEARING SO MUCH

HOW CAN THEY DO THAT

bro who are these side villains?? і gotta admit the guy with the dreads he can move is pretty cool but who is the girl lookin like negasonic teenage warhead???

THESE EFFECTS ARE SO WILD

WHATTTT IS HAPPENING

the effects of jean making him walk were so gross i literally had to fast forward a bit they look so bad and uncanny

i know that's kinda the point but i cantttttt

jean i wouldn't trust weird alien lady if i were u

yoo charles admits he's wrong for once in his life!! let's go!!!

i do love all the beast content in this movie

THAT WAS SO AWESOME

KURT JUST DROPPED HER IN FRONT OF A TRAIN

YES!!!

i know he seems all innocent but in these movies he was in the fighting rings

he has DEFINITELY killed someone before

i love him so much

overall this movie is bad but this fight scene is SICK

LIKE ERIK JUST CRUSHED A TRAIN CAR THATS SO COOL

"i had a change of heart" erik we all know you are just down bad for charles and you will do anything if he asks u really sincerely

you can't fool me

charles and jean are so father daughter core

i mean he's not a great dad but they sure have the dynamic

CHERIK COFFEE SHOP AU YEAHH

bro do u know what the name of that cafe is

the french says "vieux copains"

THAT LITERALLY TRANSLATES TO OLD FRIENDS

THEY ARE AT THE CAFE OF OLD FRIENDS

well that movie was... bad

there were some good parts

but overall it was not good

it wasn't even funny bad like origins wolverine

this movie was NOT funny and if i'm being honest i only watched it for that scene at the end cuz i saw gifs of it on here

[wilkkio]

Do you know the movie "Yours, Mine and Ours" (2005), for short, it's a movie about two single parents who already have a lot of kids, and have a very different life style and parenting mode but they fall in love and decide to live together in a huge house with all of their children, 18 kids in total, from kid to teenagers. And because they're very different families, it's a total mess, but it's pretty fun.

So... Imagine an AU like that with Cherik ? Their kids are the ones they actually have in comics + some of the X-Men kids.

It's still a new idea so if you want to build this AU with me, choose which X-Men kids should be with which Dad for example (because I don't know about that yet), or just add details or context, please feel free to do anything with it !!

[alouiadina]

Marvel/X-men high school au

So, I've had this idea for a while, and Deadpool & Wolverine reminded me that I had this idea, which I have been nervous to share. It's a Cherik no powers crossover

It starts with the aftermath of the a car crash which resulted death of Erik's wife Magda and their youngest, Nina. (As an aside, Pietro and Wanda are also their kids, and Peter is Erik's from a previous relationship, either a marriage or college one-night stand that ended in pregnancy). A couple months or maybe a year after their deaths, Wanda and Pietro get accepted into the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters (which is a stem school in this universe) and Peter accepts a student-teaching (where a college student shadows a teacher) position there as well because he maybe feels guilt over not spending enough time with Nina when she was alive, so he accepts it so that he's able to spend time with twins. Or maybe he blames himself for her death or something.

Erik experience trepidation over sending, as he and Charles have a history. They dated in high school, then one day Charles left, leaving nothing, not even a note. So, when they meet during the welcome new parents and students meeting, he's surprised to see Charles there, not because he wasn't expecting him, but because he's in a wheelchair. They keep running into each other, maybe with some influence from Erik's kids as well as maybe Mistique.

For Peter's part of the story, he's under the tutelage of Logan, who teaches history. He's mostly professional, but he's also a little shit. Like, with seating charts, he takes note over who he thinks has a crush on who, and sits them next to each other. Or, the fact that he notices how he wants to project how one Wade Wilson annoys him to death, but only to hide that he secretly likes his attention. Peter tries to parent trap them, along with parent trapping Erik and Charles with some help.

Wanda and Pietro's part of the story is parent trapping their dad and principal, (at least) two of their teachers, as well as some of their friends, as well as each other (or at least just Pietro to Wanda) and maybe Peter too because maybe there is another student-teacher there.

other ships could include the thruce, lokius or Theo/Loki (maybe a love triangle there, idk), ironstrange, stucky. For X-men, like maybe Jean/Scott, maybe Kurt/Warren, or anything... dealers choice really. Maybe it could be in one story, or it could be like my no homophobia au. One fanfic per storyline, or whatever.

[verstappentime]

[icarusredwings]

Erik: *shows up to the x-mansion*

Scott: MAGNETO!? What are you doing here!? Alright gang time to fry this guy-

Charles: Im afraid there's no need for that. Erik..

Erik: Charles... Do you have what's owed to me?

Charles: Depends. Do you?

Erik: *steps aside to show Peitro with a dufflebag*

Peitro: *takes off his headphones confusedly* This isn't disneyland...?

Charles: Logan.

Logan, also with a duffle bag, growling and obviously pissed off: Why do I have to go? Im older than both of you.

Charles: Because, It's your father's weekend and he's bassically the only one that can control your feral behavior.

Peitro: Wait, what!? You said we were going to disneyland!! Now you want me to stay at some weird bald guys mansion!?

Erik: Be nice to your dad, boy! Come now, Logan. I set up a room for you and we're getting ice cream.

Peitro: What the actual fuck!? You've never taken me for ice cream!!?

Charles: Yes, come my child. I'll put you in a death room and watch you suffer. If you live, I'll have Hank reward you with some ice cream :)

Logan: *Groans* Fine but Im NOT calling him dad. You're not my dad! Got it!?

Logan on Eriks couch trying to figure out how he got here, and also wondering why he was part of the shared custody agreement in their divorce:

[stinkrat-aleks]

Soccer AU Pietros bc im obsessed with this lil guy

Redraw from Next Goal Wins:

[bisexualmultifandommess]

There will be no Beach Divorce in my AU Cherik fic because it’s supposed to be happy but I started imagining my AU (where Charles and Erik are married and adopted the students who are young children in first class) with some of the canon elements so that DoFP still happens and now I’m thinking about a depressed Charles struggling to cope with his pain, his telepathy and his husband and some of the kids leaving while their son Hank stayed to take care of his dad.

Also imagine the absolute angst of Erik reuniting with them when they get him out and he has to see how much he’s hurt Charles and to see one of his babies is now a young man and is so mistrusting and angry with him.

I swear I don’t really like to make myself sad but imagine the angst 😭

[cherikdogfood]

your post just reminded me of my idea of cherik babysitter AU (Charles is the nanny haha)

But I also find it interesting, the concept of Erik being David Like's stepdad... the possibilities oh my god

Thank you for the ask!

Oooh, a cherik babysitter au would be cute indeed!! Nanny!Charles taking care of the kids would be adorable, i think the kids would love him. Erik slowly falling in love hehe--

YESS EXACTLYY think about stepdad!Erik!! We don't have enough concepts about that (or are there stepdad!Erik fics I don't know of?). Like, Stepdad!Charles and Pietro would have a great relationship lol, and I think pietro would like Charles. I also think, personally, that wanda wouldn't mind having stepdad!Charles.

It's stepdad!Erik I constantly think about; what will David think?!

As far as I know, David in the comics didn't have a good relationship with Charles. If we follow that thought and David and Charles aren't on great terms, what will David think of Erik?

Alternatively, if David and Charles have a good relationship, what then? E,g., in an alternate universe (modern, still have powers) kind of setting, where David is Charles' son and Charles is a single dad due to circumstances... what would David think of Erik? Would David be hostile, because he can read minds (he can read Erik's, perhaps) etc? Or would the two of them bond over their love of Charles?

Or what if, in a canon divergent fic, David knows that Erik is the one who shot his Dad in Cuba. (Assuming David has a good relationship with Charles). What would he think of Erik?

David knows Charles is deeply in love with Erik, but David also sees what Erik does, and maybe in the dofp timeline David sees how much hurt Charles is in. What would David feel? Would he be angry at Erik? Or more accepting, because this is the guy my dad loves so much...

Another thing, though, throughout the xmen movies charles always goes, "erik no!" (i'm thinking of all those memes and jokes about this lol) and no matter what erik does charles will always forgive him, always see the good in him, always believe in him.

assuming david is there throughout the movies, would he, you know, grow to hate erik over time? he understands his father's love for erik, but that doesn't mean he likes it. perhaps david is protective of his dad and hates erik on charles' behalf, hates erik for always leaving and hurting charles..

OR, let's say the x-men and brotherhood continue fighting over the years, while charles and erik are still lovers, and even though they keep it a secret (altho tbh considering the amount of flirting those two do anyone with eyes knows), david finds out one day, what would he think? Also, erik knows david is charles' son, so when they're in battle, do you think he would.. y'know, go easy on the kid?

And what about Erik's perspective? We see fics of stepdad!Charles and Charles just adores Pietro, not only because pietro is a lovely kid himself, but also because it's Erik's son, he sees so much of Erik in that hair, those eyes, etc...

But what about stepdad!Erik? What would he think of David? I think he would love David, tbh, but what if David is hostile towards Erik? Would Erik be kinda hostile too? Or would he be patient?

This was an interesting ask and I'm so sorry it's so long.. I also think I asked more questions instead of answering them, so i'm sorry about that. do tell me if there are stepdad!Erik fics!! Thank you!!!

[gerec]

dofp fics that have a happy ending for cherik?

Most of these fics take place post-DOFP or they are DOFP fix-its / AUs. They are all excellent and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did, Anon!

fathers and sons by M_Leigh

“I have an – interest – in Peter Maximoff,” Erik said, somewhat grudgingly, glaring. “A – familial – interest –”

Everybody stared at him.

“In that – mutantkind is one – large – family –” Erik said valiantly, if pathetically. 

“Oh, shit,” Alex said. “No way. No way.”

This far but no further by niniblack

“Lorna, this is Erik. Can you say hi?”

Lorna peeks out at him and mumbles, “Hi.”

“She’s cute,” Erik comments.

I know, Charles thinks. She looks like you.

Or: the one where Charles doesn’t tell Erik that joining the mile high club resulted in a baby.

Jail Break by blarfkey (Come Together series)

It's totally normal in Suburban America for the dad to pick up his rebellious teenager from jail, right? Even when it's the Pentagon instead of the local police station, and your dad is a Mutant Supremacist Assassin and America's Most Wanted who didn't post bail so much as murdered all the guards?

Whatever. Peter will take what he can get at this point, even if it means the most painfully awkward road trip in the history of the universe.

Thou Shalt Not Eat Stones by valancysnaith

Two months after Washington, Raven found Erik in a skeevy motel off the Florida interstate.

“They have Charles, Erik,” she said.

The bedframe shrieked. In the bathroom, the showerhead snapped in half and clattered into the tub.

Through the Barricades by starandrea (Through the Barricades series)

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 but Charles noticing for days. He may be the first to return, but he won't be the last.)

Hope by daymarket

A near-decade of hatred can't be wiped out with a single summer, no matter how eventful that summer might be. When Erik shows up uninvited at the mansion, Charles is just barely civil enough to not throw him out, but that doesn't mean he'll let him stay.

All our past times by aesc

In 1976, three years after D.C. and Trask, Erik returns to Charles's estate for the first time. What he's looking for, he doesn't entirely know, and doesn't know if he wants to find it.

Shalom Malakh by ZairaA

When death catches up with Erik a year after the Sentinel disaster, he only has one regret: never having found a way to bridge the gap and reconcile with Charles. But death is not the end of the journey, and Erik is put right in the path of his old friend once more.

  “Okay. Let’s say I bite. Who is the hapless idiot then? The one I'm supposed to look after?”

The woman smirked. “Oh, I’m certain you'll know it once you see him.”

Always Pass on Good Advice by cygnaut

Charles realizes there’s only one person who can talk Erik out of his terrible plans: himself.

Other Futures Than These by midrashic (A Timeline of the Impossible series)

In which Cuba doesn't break them apart, but that doesn't mean that their futures are tied together. (Except that it does.)

A Days of Future Past AU where only one person can defeat the Sentinels and save the future: the man whose imprisonment and torture created them, and Charles Xavier's ex.

The Spaces Between by mainecoon76

Almost a year after Washington, Erik is working on his own to find out what became of the Sentinel research. He keeps to himself and likes it that way. But when a mutant assassin tries to murder Charles, he finds himself reluctantly drawn into an adventure that involves a dangerous plot, Charles' own agenda, a complicated relationship, and holiday celebrations at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

the pain will remind us of each other by borninsideatornado

It’s always felt alien, the way he feels about Erik. Too big for his body, too much to hold in his heart. But finally, finally, it makes sense.

Because at the end of the world, it’s him. It’s always going to be him. —

when logan lets charles see his future in days of future past, he talks to erik instead.

From Yesterday by AzarDarkstar

Nightwing/icewing cherik au skit based off the that scene from the lion king

Dragonet reader: *pounces on icewing magneto* dad! DAD!

Nightwing Xavier: your child's awake

Icewing magneto: until that sun rises they're your child

*sunlight shines through the window*

Icewing magneto: three moons why me.....

Ahahaha! They get at least four dragonets!

You have dragonet David, who's more akin to Darkstalker, who has powers, and appears mostly NightWing, with sharper and more numerous spines and a few colder scales...

You have dragonet Wanda, also a bit like Darkstalker, but who appears as a mix of NightWing and IceWing, is super powerful, and prefers Mama/Papa Xavier (or Chary) over Mama/Papa Magneto (or Elk)...

You have dragonet Pietro, who appears like Whiteout but is mischievous, likes Mama/Papa Elk over Mama/Papa Chary, and appears more IceWing than NightWing...

And finally, you have dragonet Reader, who looks like Whiteout, is nicer than their siblings or Mama/Papa Elk, and has powers that are a bit more... unusual, or muted, compared to their siblings...

They make quite the f*cked-up little family, who are all p*ssed when Mama/Papa Chary is captured by IceWings, growing even more upset and m*ffed when Mama/Papa Elk is sealed away by the NightWing queen, and then the four siblings are slowly picked off one by one, locked away in ice or stone, until two thousand years later...

And all four are NOT HAPPY to be starving, giant, and miss their old friends, as well as their Mama/Papa, and are struggling to adjust to modern Pyrrhia...

Fic Rec Friday

It's that time of the week again! Thanks for the tags Lola, @rmd-writes, and @celeritas2997!

The Theme: a fic that makes you laugh / smile so much your cheeks hurt The Rules: tag a fic that makes you laugh / smile so much your cheeks hurt and give a brief description of why it’s awesome.

Going rogue and expanding into new fandoms that I only dabble in, but I can't not with this theme.

RWRB: Five letter word for 'unobservant' by @clottedcreamfudge IMO the question is not who wrote the fic that belongs in this category but which of Hattie's almost painfully funny one-shots you choose. I'm going for 'the wordle one,' because I feel like it captures their absurdity on another level.

TMFU: michelin star man by yukla AU where Napoleon is a michelin restaurant critic and Illya is still a spy, the snappy way the action sequences are written—not to mention the banter—always make me laugh.

Loki: Self-Insert by @mirilyawrites Oh my god, the whole concept of Mobius writing self-insert fic about Loki is hilarious, but Loki's reactions also just absolutely send me. Brilliantly done, and writing all of Mobius' fic too?? Amazing.

The Witcher: the brightest shade of the sun by @alittlebitmaybe Ciri is in Jaskier's kindergarden class, Geralt is a tired dad, but it's Yennefer's interstitial asides that absolutely fucking MURDER me in this fic.

X-Men First Class: Other Crabs Cannot Be Trusted by groovyphilia A cherik fic in which they are all crabs. Yes, that live in the ocean. No, I'm dead serious. It's fucking hysterical. How does it work?? It just works.

Good Omens: muddle through somehow by curtaincall My very favorite Christmas in Conneticut AU. It's such an amazing comedy of errors, I read it every single Christmas without fail.
