#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.

[wishchip106]

my favorite part of paris proposal is when Charles INSTANTLY recognizes Erik’s mind out of all the parisian’s and tourists surrounding him

look at his face 😭😭 just when he thought he could get a moment of peace to himself guess who shows up

Erik fucking Lehnsherr come to tangle himself up in Charles’ new life

“How’s retirement treating you?”

“What are you doing here, Erik?”

“I’ve come to see an old friend”

i am so genuinely convinced Erik went to the mansion first to look for Charles only to find Hank as the headmaster instead

i’m willing to bet he was ready to rip up the floorboards to look for Charles before Hank told him 😭🙏

god i love these guys…

[leilohsstupidgaystuff]

I don't know if Erik had a ring in his other hand in Paris, but if he had one, Charles didn't pick it because he wanted to go slow. He wanted to date Erik because they never did that. They always made out way too fast. They never went to a nice restaurant. They never gifted each other flowers on random days. Charles didn't want to do this again. He wanted the slow back and forth, the waiting for the moves of the other one. He wanted to play this game of chess, and Erik gave him the chance to decide. He gave Charles all the control because he was just happy to be given another chance with the love of his life.

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

[caramelc0rgi]

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

X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies) - An Elaborate 4-Part cherik Proposal Series

[lavender-twilight23]

This. THIS.

DON’T TELL ME THIS ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE THE SAME HELMET.

Which means that Erik would have kept it for 40 years. From First Class to Dark Phoenix. From Cuba to Genosha.

What makes me so unbelievably sad is that maybe the reason he kept it is because he always thought that he might need it for the future if he had to fight Charles again 🥺🥺

Crying myself into oblivion over this 😭

Cherik is in my bloodstream, if my X-men/cherik phase starts to fade, SOMEONE GET ME A BLOOD TRANSFUSION

[mapofyourstars]

similarities: smiling at each other

[nota1eks]

THEY HAVE A COFFEE DATE AT THE CAFE OF OLD FRIENDS ON THE ROAD OF PEACE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

there comes a time when the subtext just becomes normal text im just saying

[uniquecellest]

Would anyone be interested in fics that are set in the same universe as my The One With The Proposal fic?

I only have a few thought out:

- one in which we see Charles and Erik gets together

-one in which Raven discovers their relationship

- then one set sometime before their wedding where Charles gets hospitalized and put in the chair for the rest of his life

[magnetoisnotahappybunny]

[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
