#cherik proposal

[lucktv]

What Is it called when you accidentally write a fanfiction?

SOOOOOOOOOO I accidentally wrote this and thought It'd be nice to post it here so :3 Cherik proposal for you. This is set in one of my alternate universes where they are somewhere between 30 and 40 (So kinda first class era) but its 2001 and they temporarily move to the Netherlands because that was the first country to legalize same sex marriage. :D

Enjoy!!!

“No, you’re not the sun to me” Erik gave a small shake of his head while fidgeting with the box placed in his pocket. 

“Then what am I?” Charles asked, curiosity clearly on his face. 

Erik smiled a little, “You are the moon” His hands started to shake a little as he felt the perfect moment unravel. 

“The moon?” Charles raised an eyebrow and tilted his head, “Then what are you? You’re also not really a sunny person” 

Erik put a hand over his heart in fake offence “What is that supposed to mean? I’m always so happy and cheerful” Charles burst out laughing and after playing offended for a few more seconds, Erik also joined in. 

“No, but really though, what would you be? Tell me, I’m curious.” Charles leaned his elbows on the armrests of his chair and leaned his head in his hands. Staring very gayly. 

Erik’s nerves were now building by the second as he brushed his sweaty hand over the velvet box that was still in the same spot. 

“I’d be saturn” He replied, as calm as he could. Though Charles must have felt the waves of nerves he was probably projecting on accident. 

“Oh?” Charles exclaimed with an amused smile. “And why is that?” 

Erik’s heart was beating so fast in his chest he was sure it might jump out as he stood up from his chair and stepped in front of Charles. He placed his hand firmly on the box in his pocket and looked right into Charles’ beautiful, breathtaking, ocean eyes. 

“Because hopefully, I’ll have a ring soon” He half-whispered. 

Charles’ eyebrows frowned together for a split second before shooting up when Erik moved down on one knee. 

“Charles, there is too much about you that I love and adore with every cell of my body to just put into one special speech. So I’m just going to tell you that, since the day you jumped into the ocean for me, saved my life and offered me a home, I’ve loved you. And I love you just as much, if not even more, today. And I know I will love you every day from now on, and nothing is ever going to change that.” Charles’ eyes were overflowing with tears as Erik pulled out the velvet box and opened it for a beautiful ring to float out. “Charles, may I ask you to accept my love for the rest of our lives and be my husband? Charles Francis Xavier, marry me?”

Charles was now a sobbing mess as he took in everything that was happening, a big smile on his face while tears were staining his freckled cheeks. 

When Erik nervously raised an eyebrow Charles started fiercely nodding yes. 

He let out a wet laugh “Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES, Erik yes, I’d love to, I-” He cut himself off as he grabbed the collar of Erik’s shirt and pulled him into a soft, warm kiss. 

The Netherlands might not be the most romantic place to have your wedding, but Erik was sure they would find somewhere. He didn’t really care about the place, as long as they could get legally married. 

“I love you” He murmured between Charles’ kisses “To the moon” kiss, “and” kiss, “b-” kiss “and” kiss, “to saturn” kiss.  

Should I post it on ao3? let me know ^^ (More art is on the way btw)

Krakoa’s first law: MAKE MORE MUTANTS

[kateksmallcuteowl]

Just two mutants in love growing old somewhere in Paris

(They finally got their rings)

I'm currently obsessed with those tiny freckles of him, soooo… here you are ✨And I’m sorry for being a bit slow this days, I have a lot of assignments to do in Uni😅

[magnetoisnotahappybunny]

I don't think Erik was hiding the ring in his other hand, I think the chess piece was the ring.

krakoa charles...

[xxplastic-cubexx]

was talking to my brother the other day after i rewatched dark phoenix and he was like 'why is everyone so mean to charles in this movie?? were they always this mean to him ?? is it cause he's bald now- he lost his pretty privilege??' and i fear i havent recovered

[wishchip106]

Erik did not smile like that with anyone else.

Charles exclusive smile

i don’t think he ever smiled like this again in the movies after this

that week or 2 at the mansion was likely the happiest time in his life

he could actually forget about the consequences of it all and just live

this is all Shaws fault. i’m gonna shave off every single molecule of hair on his body and then proceed to cover it in tar and feathers. he cannot run from me forever

I probably already wrote something about this but I will never stop talking about how badly written X-men Dark Phoenix is. If Dark Phoenix has zero haters, then I’m dead.

I absolutely despise how everyone in that movie villainizes him. Charles made a lot of mistakes, yes, especially when it comes to hiding what actually happened to Jean’s parents but it just seems so out of character from everyone to suddenly turn on him?

They blame him for Jean’s problems, for her not understanding herself, and it’s like no one takes a second to acknowledge that maybe Charles is just a guy trying to do his best. The worst part is, he’s always the one who’s giving—guiding, supporting, and protecting—but no one ever really checks on him. The people who should understand him the most (his students, his closest friends) seem to disregard him completely in this film. And it’s not like he’s some invincible figure who doesn’t need help; he’s clearly struggling, but no one seems to care. They just let him flounder, and that makes it feel like everyone’s turning their backs on the person who’s been there for them from the beginning. Charles was literally still mourning the death of his sister and Hank basically tells him how everyone should be afraid of him for the things he did.

In Dark Phoenix, Charles becomes a villain of sorts, but it feels like the movie’s creators didn’t know how to make this change feel earned. Instead of evolving his character in a believable way, they just throw him under the bus to make the stakes feel higher. The whole movie seems to forget the complexity of who Charles is and the positive impact he’s had on these characters. Rather than giving him a solid, well-deserved arc, the film turns him into someone who’s not only flawed, but also pretty unlikable. It’s a shame because, in the end, Charles is one of the most fascinating, multifaceted characters in the X-Men universe, and Dark Phoenix did him a major disservice by treating him so poorly.

And the worst part is, the movie doesn’t show anyone stepping up to help Charles. He’s not given the kind of emotional support that he has so often given to others. You’d think that after everything he’s done, someone would be there for him. But no. Instead, he’s left alone, isolated, and vulnerable, with no one offering him the same kind of empathy he’s given them for years. It feels like the movie forgets the essence of his character—the wise, compassionate leader—and replaces him with a broken, almost unrecognizable version of himself.

Anway, this movie is ass. Paris proposal was the only good thing about this movie. That, and Erik was slaying with that look of his

OK this huge ass stadium ring should’ve break “the biggest proposal ring in history” record

This is Erik keeping his cool during the proposal (He’s nervous look at him)

Charles and his “You gon fucking murder me??” face

You can’t blame him a stadium (proposal ring) was about to crash onto him

Everything And Nothing You Wanted

I have a story roaming around my head about this and it being why Erik quit being Magneto between dofp and xma. Cus something had to have happened right? For him to walk away? What was his post-divorce rock bottom that made him just say fuck it? Cus it wasn't prison. That dramatic bastard walked out of prison and promptly dropped a stadium around the White House. So what did it?

Let's say Mystique runs into him post dofp. And she's pissed cus he tried to kill her. After everything. After all their time working together and history. But she also still wants him and she's frustrated at not getting what she wants. Ever! And why shouldn't she get him? She's looking for a fuck, not true love.

So she comes on to him in some safe house and "No, Raven. Honestly, you're still on about this? No."

And she's had enough about being told no so she slides the metaphorical knife in. She shifts into Charles as he looked in XMFC, soft and clean and perfect, and smirks at him. "Maybe you'd prefer something a little different?" Cus she has eyes. She saw how Erik looked at Charles.

Erik goes rigid at the sight of "him" and snarls at her to take that form off but she's unimpressed. She knows what he wants and why shouldn't he indulge, she asks. Of course Charles knew he wanted him. Erik knows that, right? Little wonder he hates Charles so much after being denied again and again, deemed not good enough for even a quick screw.

Erik grits his teeth. "Let it go, Raven. Fine! I wanted him. Congratulations! But he owes me nothing simply because I wanted him. And why would I fucking hate Charles for being straight?" he snaps at her, turning to leave (cus he can't take her doing this while looking/sounding like Charles) but she/he laughs caustically at that.

"You think Charles is straight?" And Erik is frozen in his tracks, hand on the door knob as she/he continues. "Oh God no. I saw him bring home so many men and women when he was in college. Charming Charles cut a wide swath."

"He's a telepath, Erik. He doesn't care about the 'wrapping', just the contents. If someone's mind, someone's soul was good enough he'd haul them home in an instant. No questions asked."

"Charles" goes on, twisting the blade. "But you? Making eyes at him over that damn chessboard every night? He knew you were on offer and he just wasn't buying. But I guess that's understandable given all your ugly bits? Can't imagine saint Charles would want a killer. The thought probably made his skin crawl."

And here Erik snaps: rage, self-hatred, and heartbreak tangling up and exploding. Grabbing him/her and throwing him/her against the wall, he shoves a thigh between his legs and has his mouth in a punishing kiss.

And it's everything he wanted, and it's nothing he wanted, because this isn't how it was supposed to be. It was supposed to be soft and loving in Charles' quiet home, not this tearing rageful thing, all teeth and nails and bruises.

He takes him hard against the wall and on the shitty bed. And it isn't Charles. No bit of this feels like Charles. His silk-soft thoughts don't brush Erik's mind, he can't feel the unintentional sparks of emotion Charles would always emit when he got too excited about something. There's no laughter. No light. But he'd have never had him anyway. Charles was right to refuse him, despite his lies about him being worth more than violence. Clearly they were lies.

He'd have never wanted his bloodied hands on him. 'There's so much more to you...' but not enough more to me, right, Charles? Not enough.

Afterwards Erik grabs his clothes, cursing her for goading him, exposing him, and tries not to vomit till he's out of her earshot.

It’s insane to me how straight people will produce media where two men have extreme homoerotic tension and say things like “I want you by my side” “we want the same thing” “you’re so adorable” “you’ve never looked beautiful” and “i’ll always be there” while they stare at each othering lovingly and call each other pet names…..only to turn around and say that they’re “brothers” and “best friends”
