#dadneto fic

[chris-in-the-headlights]

Aka Peter has the gut to talk to Erik a lot sooner, resulting in a magical little fic that checks almost all your boxes on a dadneto/quickson fanfic.

Featuring: Peter babysitting a bunch of his smaller siblings and being adorable about it, Magda taking in the fact that Erik has some other random child incredibly well and Erik. Because he should be reason enough

Nonsense ramblings ft. breakfast

[beforetimes]

if there's one thing that can be said about peter maximoff, it's that he's always got his ear to the ground when it comes to gossiping. it's like, his thing by now. if anyone wanted to hide their secrets from him they'd be fresh out of luck because despite how much he darts around and lets himself trail off sentences in the middle of them to zip off and do something else because he got tired of slowing himself down in the middle of it, he is surprisingly good at being quiet when he needs to and being at the right place at the right time. he has a very good record when it comes to this stuff, so he knows it's not bullshit when he's figured out that his dad—which, like, wow, his dad?—is in the dating scene. he knows it. what's more of a surprise is that he's gotten all strung up with charles xavier, of all people.

which, like, peter doesn't hate the guy. he doesn't! he was just under the impression that ten years ago—wow, ten years really fly when you really think about it, that day feels like forever ago and yesterday at the same time—that charles and erik hated each other. so he guesses he missed the memo where they kissed and made up after punches were thrown in the pentagon's elevator by a drenched, half-sober man who looked like he would laser erik to death with his eyes the way scott tries to do to peter about four times a week without even taking off his glasses in case he'd accidentally make it stick. though he couldn't, because, like. peter is very fast. duh.

so. the evidence behind his claims goes as follows (of course he collected evidence, peter says to ororo, affronted, when she asks if he even had proof. what was he, an ameteur?):

1. erik keeps taking lunch breaks.

it's not like he didn't before but he was definitely less likely to. when they were rebuilding the x-mansion after it blew up and he was their heaviest lifter, it would be rare to peel him away from all the construction. erik was actually weirdly good at building, which peter didn't really expect for some reason because he was always under the impression all the guy did was like. terrorize people. or kill them. or twist spoons into pretzels just because he could. but no, nowadays he's been taking more lunch breaks than ever and it's a very pointed difference, even though they've already finished construction a few months ago and erik didn't really have a reason to stay. unless the reason to stay was so he could be with charles! (scott stares at him with that unimpressed, laser-eyes look again so peter flips him off and continues past the sputtering).

2. he's also like, weirdly nice now?

which isn't to say that peter didn't think terrorists couldn't be nice. which sounds bad but erik might be the one exception. anyway, when peter saved him about a decade ago he remembered the guy being kind of an asshole when he met up with charles for the first time and yes he knows that it puts a damper on his dating theory, jean, but he's not done yet so wait a second. anyway, he was less of an asshole when he came back to help fix the mansion after trying to kill the whole world so peter guessed he kind of swings on a pendulum between good and evil and whatever they get on that day is like the worlds most important and demented coin flip. that's besides the point. so when he was back here to help fix things up he stayed out of everyone's way and he wouldn't do much to bother anyone because in peter's opinion erik didn't want to scare the little kids who knew of his reputation even if they didn't know his face. but, like, now he's been here a while it's like a complete 180. peter caught him teaching a seven year old how to tie his shoes the other day. a thirteen year old shortstack was rocking back and forth on her heels while erik got her a book from one of the higher shelves of the mansions newly refurbished library (who knew that once you saved the world there would be at least one or two places willing to donate books on top of charles' infinite wealth?). it was like stepping into the twilight zone. but it was real. like, peter saw the hint of a real smile on erik's face one time when he saw the man looking over the grassy field of the school. it freaked him out a bit.

3. charles knows how erik takes his coffee

this is admittedly one of his weaker arguments from the lead-in, peter concedes when he gets blank stares from storm, jean, scott, and kurt. like, even kurt! he didn't think that was a look he could pull from that kid. anyway, peter says that it's pretty damn obvious that erik has a whole thing when it comes to charles being in his head. he's heard from someone who heard from a friend who eavesdropped on a teacher who overheard charles and raven after a faculty meeting that the helmet erik wore all the damn time when he was evil was to keep charles from getting into his head. which explains a lot. anyway erik has a complex about charles getting in his head. but he doesn't wear the helmet now and peter heard charles one morning when he was getting ready to start the day off by eating at least two and a half boxes of poptarts. he heard the man say something like coffee? and he heard erik reply with a hum and charles went how dyou want it and erik said don't you know already? and peter had peered in then and seen erik gesture to his head. and he wasn't defensive about it at all and charles had this really weird look on his face that peter spend a few seconds examining in hyperspeed before getting away from the whole thing because the vibes were so weird. but yeah. erik let charles into his head just for some coffee after spending like two decades trying to keep charles out of his head. which has to mean something (and peter knows he's hooked them now because even scott is leaning in like he's interested and that kid would pretend he had a ticklish throat and needed a water bottle more than anyone else in the immediate vicinity if peter was on fire in front of him).

4. all the chess boards

like, they're all over the place. it's excessive. there's a different game set up in the library, on a table in the garden, on charles' desk in his office, on erik's desk in his office and his bedroom. and no one touches them because no one likes fucking chess except for cute little ten year old jenny because her grandfather taught her before she accidentally turned his house into clouds and seventeen year old thomas who's a prick because he thinks he's more distinguished than anyone ever because he came all the way over from europe or whatever the fuck and peter can't see either of them sitting down to play one game, let alone multiple. and he knows chess is charles and erik's thing because he saw the board in erik's room one time—(you were in his room? ororo asks with a very deep look and peter nods and goes yeah we've been bonding lately but it's kind of one sided because it's more like me showing up and him tolerating me until i leave but like it's progress!)—and peter asked before erik could get a chance to politely kick him out and erik actually paused and told him that chess was a shared hobby of theirs from a few years back and get this, peter says conspiratorially, leaning forward as the rest follow suit. he smiled. like a full on real smile with teeth. and peter was so taken aback he was like that's sweet man and then left before he could be kicked out. and now he knows that the only people who play chess in this mansion are dickhead european thomas and sweet little jenny and charles and erik, all the games all over the place have to be charles and erik's which means they spend a lot more time together than he thought before. and they plan to spend it together because a lot of these games are half finished, like they leave and come back every few days depending on how much free time either of them have. (and now everyone looks thoroughly hooked because the evidence peter brings is good because peter is a hell of a gossip, dammit. he won't have people questioning his skills when it comes to this. he was made to be at old little women's tea parties where they talk about their evil husbands doing war crimes. that's what he guesses goes on there, anyway, considering his first gossip session with his mom went that way)

5. charles is happier now

and jean frowns at this one right off the bat but no one really says anything because the way peter said it was soft and kind of less jokey than the rest of his tirade. because it was something he wasn't really expecting? because charles wasn't sad per se, he was always happy in front of the kids and he didn't try to drag them down with his own moods and ever since the guy got sober he's looked a hell of a lot more put together than when he showed up on peter's doorstep, tired and hungover and just plain heartbroken. but even in that small time frame between defeating apocalypse and the mansion being rebuilt, he was just... sort of happy. happy he lived, maybe. happy the world made it and his mansion was being rebuilt so he could home all these poor kids without anywhere to turn to that understood them. but wow, the stark difference between a charles that was kind of okay and a charles that was happy was like night and day. he was just so much brighter now that it took peter aback sometimes. he hummed under his breath whenever peter walked by him in the halls at a human speed and those old withered plants in his office started to stand taller, as if someone finally started watering them. and hank stopped staring at charles the way he did when peter met them a decade ago—waiting for something to give. so, yeah, charles is definitely happier now when no one even knew he was unhappy at all. and it all started when erik started taking lunch breaks.

and jean and scott and ororo and kurt are looking at him less like he's pulling their legs and more like he's made a point that makes them a little sad which wasn't the goal but he gets it. charles is like, jean's dad in a way, and the rest really look up to him despite only being here just shy of a year, so to hear this guy that they always saw as this strong bastion of optimism and goodwill was just sort of sad all the time right under their noses was probably depressing the hell out of the four of them. but it was the truth. and peter knows it was because he can practically see them recalling how the professor was before he got there and before he made up with erik.

so yeah. peter is right. erik and charles are probably dating and now four more people know that charles is happier than he was before and erik is too. and privately, peter thinks maybe if erik is happy to find family in charles, he'd be happy to find family in peter, too. but that's something for another day. he's just suddenly aware of the fact that he's so glad these guys who were so bent out of shape and angry and irritated and heartbroken and assholeish ten years ago are looking at each other like the sun took up custody of both their smiles or whatever.

anyway i'll see you guys later, peter tells them, and races off before they can say anything. he's already halfway across the school and in his room playing pac-man before any of them can blink.

Here's the link!

*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.

Reading a fic that leaves me emotionally wounded in the best way rn.

[Image description: a picture of spongebob eating his pillow while he cries, with text above reading "me: pfft-! No fanfic has ever gotten to me before/fanfic: "No matter what lies the world will feed you, know that I would let it all burn for you" /me:"//End description]

Link to it bc I gotta share the emotional damage.

[faecaribou]

theres something positively satisfying about how there are no fics where Peter tells Erik that they're family and Erik turns him away. Sure he might need a breather for the revelation. But he never turns Peter away. Family is just so integral to what Erik is. Erik rejecting family is unthinkable.

Birthday WIP Snippet!

Wanted to share a little something of the Dark DOFP AU fic I've been writing over the past weeks as a sort of reverse present for my birthday! Enjoy! (And please forgive any errors it's not proofread yet 😭)

Most times they would have to flee mid battle as waves upon waves of sentinels rained down upon them, but on one rare occasion, Erik bested a lone sentinel that had accidentally stumbled into their camp. By the time the monstrosity collapsed into the dirt, Pietro reappeared in a flurry of wind ready to take his father away, before blinking in surprise at the defeated corpse at their feet. “Aw, didn’t leave any for me?” Pietro teased, kicking the side of its arm with his boot. “There will be plenty more on the way if you are feeling so inclined,” Erik replied. “I’ll take a rain check on that,” Pietro smirked, moving to grab his father’s arm and neck like he had done so many times before. Erik had never paid much mind to the emptiness in his skin during their past escapes, too flooded with adrenaline and anger to consider anything else. But now, clear of distractions, Erik was painfully aware of the hollow sensation retreating the moment Pietro’s hands made contact. To feel the absence soothed after so many months drove Erik into shock, his senses overwhelmed by the warmth of his son’s hands. The careful way he held his father’s neck. The unwavering grip on his arm, keeping him close. Just like the day they first met, Erik was flooded with hope and freedom and safety. And he never wanted to let it go.

Here comes the long awaited dadneto fic:

"This day couldn't get any worse. Except for the fact it keeps repeating. When will this stop?"

Peter is stuck in a time loop and the only thing that will get him out is telling Erik he is his son.

(let's pretend i posted it yesterday)

Post-DOFP — Peter seeks out the Brotherhood to face Magneto.

Magneto turned slowly, his piercing gaze assessing Peter with a critical intensity. Recognition flickered across his face, a faint furrow appearing between his brows. “...Peter?” Peter swallowed hard, his hands twisting nervously. He managed a hesitant nod, uncertain of what to say next in the presence of the man who had both terrified and fascinated him for so long. Magneto raised a single eyebrow, observing Peter with a mixture of curiosity and something akin to paternal concern. Not that Peter was delusional enough to actually think that's what it was. Nope. "You can relax," he said gently, his voice cutting through the tension in the room. "I do owe you a debt."

Summary:

They say that there are five stages of grief.

Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance.

Everyone experiences it differently, and when Charles Xavier was murdered on live television, everyone at the mansion cycled through the stages accordingly. Some took more time than others.

And then there's Erik. He's added a sixth stage of grief.

Revenge.

Whumptober Day 14

Inspired by that one edit that i can’t find anymore that had the cruella audio about the stages of grief, showing each of the characters if Charles died. Erik was revenge. If I can find it I’ll post it later... it’s really good lol. It’s lost in a youtube compilation somewhere 😂

“They have Peter,” Erik's voice is breaking. “They have our son.”

The teacup Charles was holding shatters on the floor. “What happened?”

Erik's trembling hands produce the package that had been dropped on the mansion's doorstep. A tuft of silver hair spills onto Charles’ desk, along with a typed letter and a polaroid.

“They said they want information about Cerebro. They know I helped you build it. And I – I put Peter in danger, taking him in. This is my fault.” Erik all but collapses into Charles. “He doesn't know anything about Cerebro, but they don't know that. They're hurting him, Charles.”

Charles Xavier is not a vengeful person. But one look at the Polaroid on his desk fills him with an unusual rage. Peter's kidnappers had cut his hair – and scalp in some places – and there were bruises flowering across his face. There's no telling what damage has been done to the rest of his body.

“Erik,” Charles whispers, rubbing his husband's shaking shoulders. “We're going to get him back. No matter what it takes. We're going to bring our son home.” *** Whumptober prompts fulfilled: search party, wound cleaning, stitches, team as family

I'd love some dadneto fics recommendations! Could be with any of his kids honestly, but I really wanted fics focused on him being a dad to his kids
