Bookmarker’s Notes:

Wow, it's been a minute since I read this one, and what a pleasure to re-read.  The way Bucky's emotions are reversed is fascinating: bad is good and white is black -- unique, but canon-harmonic.  And the characters and relationship are angsty-beautiful.

[labelleizzy]

@luninosity this reminded me of the scene where Leo is playing the space-villain...

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

Fic Rec Friday 2/16/2024

Title: Like It Was Made For You

Rating: General Audiences

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Category: M/M

Fandoms: X-Men: First Class (2011) RPF, British Actor RPF, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) RPF

Relationship: Michael Fassbender/James McAvoy

Characters: Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy

Additional Tags: Domestic Fluff, Mpreg, Breakfast in Bed, Coffee, Hurt/Comfort, Cuddling & Snuggling, Love, Established Relationship

Summary: "I’m pregnant,” James says. This excuse works, as it has for the past seven and a half months. He’s beginning to feel a bit guilty about this, but only a bit, since he’s also feeling the size of a whale and distinctly uncomfortable. Michael smiles.

Or: adventures with tabasco sauce, hot coffee, hurt/comfort, and sunny mornings.

———

A blast from fandoms past today. These were the days…

Mpreg is my kryptonite. Seriously. If there’s ever a ship you want me to check out, and you want an absolute guarantee that I’ll read it? Drop me an mpreg fic. I may or may not enjoy it, but I will NEVER be able to resist the siren call of mpreg. You’d think I’d be more drawn to ABO as a result, but eh. Anyway.

The dynamic here is so good. I love McFassy fics where James is something of a lil shit. Because let’s face it - he absolutely is, lol. His restlessness is so well conveyed; I’ve never been (and never will be) pregnant, but somehow I still know how he feels. And Michael being the softer, perhaps more caring one of the two is lovely. He’s certainly a tad bit overprotective, but luckily for him, it’s endearing. Their relationship is so affectionate and playful. It’s a genuine pleasure to read these two guys just existing in the world and loving each other, eagerly awaiting the birth of their child.

I love the changing names for their kiddo too, shifting as they try different ones out. That kid, when they’re born, will be so fucking cherished and adored. Also, if you read other fics of this ship by one of these writers, you start to recognize familiar tropes. Those tropes are like a warm blanket for me whenever I reread this. Reminds me of a time, years ago, when we were all just enjoying reading, writing, and experiencing the relationship - friendly, sexual, and all points in between - of these two actors. Fun times, my dudes.

Important note: Locked fic, so no link, sorry. You can probably still find it fairly easily if you have an account though.

———

Next Week: For the penultimate fic in this year-long batch of weekly recommendations, how about a nice, smutty little Spacedogs story? Features include Lust/Love at First Sight and then almost immediately turning that UST into RST, Nigel being a lil shit, and transmasc Adam. An excellent combo if I do say so myself.

See you soon!

[mystiquesvendetta]

Can we talk about how everyone, Raven especially, sees Charles as this naïve, arrogant and credulous man who hopes for the betterment of the world while being “ignorant” to its faults when in reality if anything he is the LEAST naïve one of them all.

He’s had to grow up and deal with the weight of hearing everyone’s most violent, disturbing, disgusting and innapropriate thoughts and yet he STILL has hope. That’s the complete opposite of ignorant if I’ve ever seen it. He may have unrealistic expectations when it comes to bigotry and equality and all that but how can one still have hope for a world when he sees just how hopeless its society is on a basis?

There was a holiday fic collection I read where on Father’s Day (ode to his comic backstory) he found himself in his fathers study telling Erik about how his father had passed. In this adaptation it was suicide, talking about how he could feel nothing inside the body, the mind, but complete emptiness. It went into how both of them know just as well as the other how deep and harmful the darkness that can encompass one can grow to be. How Charles’ darkness and grief and negative intrusive thoughts could be worse than Erik’s, if anything rival it. Everyone in the original movie series sees Charles as this hopeful, ignorant man wanting to change the word and its ideologies himself, and it pains me that so many people see and write Charles as this truly (in Erik’s own words) naïve man, when in reality he’s the most aware one can be of the humans and society as a whole’s, faults.

This also goes into Charles is powerful as FUCK and could kill anyone in a split second at the stop of a heartbeat but rarely if ever uses that ability. Raven accusing Charles of so much in Dark Phoenix, along with Hank, later, truly breaks me because he’s always been looking out for everyone and never does anything for his own gain.

(Fic is the Father’s Day one in Holiday Fic collection by luninosity on ao3)

Thanks for listening to my daily Cherik rant.

dom erik fics? strangely every time i try read a dom erik he is a sub because of some kind of plot twist

Here are some excellent dom!Erik fics, Anon; hope you enjoy!!!

What You've Really Been Chasing by helens78

Charles has been chasing after something for years, but he's never found it. Erik steps in to show him what he's been missing.

Put me in the backseat, and they took me for a ride by tahariel (series)

When Erik enters the bedroom, pausing on the threshold just to look, near shivering with excitement, his new sub is waiting for him, laid out on top of the bedclothes like a present. He’s draped with a length of rich black silk, which clings to his naked body and hides nothing, accentuates everything.

Erik’s mouth runs dry.

Counting the Beat by clavicular

Written for this prompt on 1stclass_kink: Erik uses a metal sex toy (dildo, butt plug, nipple clamps, handcuffs, or maybe he just molds something) on Charles with his powers so he can watch from afar while fucking Charles senseless. Belts, buttons, and zippers are metal too, so I imagine Erik just sitting back in a chair smugly while he uses the metal on Charles' clothes/body to force Charles around and take his clothes off and such. Maybe there's a bit of power play going on where Charles tries to get in Erik's head and make him squirm and Erik disciplines him for it...

Twenty-One Guns by luninosity (series)

Sometimes Charles needs to not be in control for a while. Erik offers to help. First times, some confessions, porn with plot…

Alive With Open Eyes by Cesare, helens78

"I'd rather stay, though," Charles smirked, all too pleased with himself, "if you'll have me."

"No," Erik told him flatly. "Not like this. If you start this, you take it seriously. You're mine until I'm through with you."

Purple is for Emperors by Fullmetalcarer

Erik sat on the edge of the bed, slowly stroking his cock.

Charles knelt on the floor in front of him, naked and bound with purple cords.

Can Erik and Charles find happiness in a world where they don't fit in?

Finding North by ClarkeStetler, Goosenik (series)

Charles and Erik are (loosely) friends with benefits. They don't share personal details, last names, or anything concrete about their lives. This is ruined rather spectacularly when Charles gets recruited by the Mutant Apprehension Division of the FBI. Surprised is a bit of an understatement for their reaction to finding themselves partnered up and sent out on cases with the team.

Bit of a detective fic? Really just an excuse for us to play around with MAD (Mutant Apprehension Division) that we created in Playing House.

you burn me by warraw

Erik didn’t allow him a blanket or any other cover, so he is curled up on his side, hugging himself. From where Erik is standing he cannot see the sweet curve of his ass, just his front. But it is enough to enjoy the view.

Gifts by spuffyduds 

Erik is generous. Charles is distracted.

No more fear by adern (series)

Erik was a Dominant himself, but he wouldn't ever threatened a submissive of punishement just because they had put the cutlery in the wrong order.

put me down by ninemoons42

Charles is normally happy to follow Erik's orders in and out of bed, but it's been a very bad day, and he's been caught entirely off guard by what he overhears.

Into His Arms by a_q

Written for the meme prompt: A human dominant over a mutant sub is almost unheard of. No one expected a human Erik Lehnsherr to be the dom of a Omega-level telepath. Erik is convinced it's a mistake, Charles is convinced it's perfect.

Moira tries to support her husbands new found connection, and Raven tries to protect Charles and keep him from giving too much of himself.

Open You Up by Magnetism_bind

I want smutty sex against the wall, on the table, wherever exciting, and I want submissive!Charles. And maybe some filthy oral sex...

[badplayerana]

Current favorite cherik fics - pt4

part 1 | part 2 | part 3

Some more recs! Happy reading and let me know if you guys have any recs for me as well ❤️

Nerves by tokidokifish (another series rec)

Based on a prompt from the kink meme: Charles had an abusive childhood (like in the comics, but worse) and when he finally got away, he repressed everything behind mental walls, to the point he doesn't really remember anything about it. After the events of the movie, his mental state deteriorates, and those walls come down.

Mutant revolutionaries executed by state by LarmeDeSang (short and devastating!! loved it - mind the warning)

The news was finally revealed to the public. Two of the most powerful mutants in the world, Professor X, director of the Xavier’s institute for gifted youngsters, and Magneto, the chief of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants had been captured the day before and were now sentenced to the death penalty.

Nation Building and other Diplomatic Negotiations by Pookaseraph

With the recent passage of a submissive registration law in the United Kingdom, there are now only two industrialized nation with a relatively stable government to have neither a mutant nor a submissive registration law. Erik Lehnsherr, the newly minted King of Genosha, and his Prime Minister Emma Frost intend to take advantage of this turn of events to bring the Xavier Institute to the island nation of Genosha. They both know bringing Charles Xavier, the noted activist of mutant and submissive rights, to the island will necessarily politicize the man, and create all manner of complications. With a constitution not yet finalized and external threats to Genoshan security all around them, Erik, Emma, and Charles will fight for what they believe in to shape Genosha into what it should be.

Hide Your Fires by swoopswoop

As the sole heir, Prince Charles, had no problem with the roles and responsibility that would come with ruling a kingdom. Though he was the only one who did not see a problem. After years of being shuttled back and forth between kingdoms, his Regent hoping he would find a match more suitable to being King, he is finally sent to Genosha. Though the path has never been less clear than the one to a foreign kingdom with no ties to his native land.

Look Up, You’re Standing Next To Me, What A Feeling by luninosity (amazing amazing amazinggg)

Charles, when uncertain, buries the uncertainty beneath extra certainty about everything else, which reads an awful lot like arrogance to anyone who doesn’t know better. Erik does know better. His mother doesn’t.

[musette22]

Oh my god, I just remembered that this supremely autumnal Evanstan fic by the brilliant @luninosity exists and that this is the PERFECT time to reread it, life is gooooood 🥰🍁🍂🎃🥮🧡

[epicstuckyficrecs]

hi! im looking for a fic where Steve and Bucky are living together some time post catws, and I think Steve finds old pictures of winter soldier as well as the old WS mask & maybe uniform tucked away (iirc in a box in their closet I think?), and he sort of… gets very attracted to the idea of him “helping out” Bucky as the winter soldier? And then Bucky catches him in the act and is angry at first, but then realizes Steve just wants a chance to save the Winter Soldier. and by the end of the fic, he comes back dressed up as the Winter Soldier for Steve and pretends to still be him. I would be so grateful if someone could link the fic to me please 🙏 thanks so much!

pretty sure that's straight from your heart by luninosity !

Cherik fics - That ONE line - 108

「I feel like I should keep an index of the one line in each Cherik fics that impresses me to no end, making want to bookmark it immediately.」

Cold Day In The Sun by luninosity

Summary: Father's Day (written April 2012); some discussion of abuse during Charles’s childhood, some not-very-explicit sex, the possibility (doesn’t actually happen, or only in discussion) of dark!Charles, protective Erik again, redecoration and renovation.

The quote:

On one level, he’s amazed at the strength of his own desire to get Charles to dry land. On another, deeper, truer level, he’s not surprised at all.

[fandomfluffandfuck]

Hiya! It’s me again. I wanna know what you think the explanation behind the clothes is.

I have a few explanations myself:

Like some are a bit different, so they might just have a really similar style.

Their stylists ship them and want them to wear the same clothes.

There are (were?) married and share(d) a closet.

…

Also that one comic con with Sebastian wearing the same shirt Chris wore the day before, what was that?! My mind is saying the fucked. Like in that one fanfic were they got come on Sebastian’s shirt and they overslept. But they could also have been hanging out in Chris’ room, drinking and falling asleep, just to pick up the wrong shirt. But they were too happy for that. I know I’m a bitch when I drank the day before.

Anyways thanks for listening to me rambling!

related to this

Hey!

I think a few different things, like, okay, obviously the most fun 😏 explanation is that they're boyfriends who share closets and sometimes who have quickies in hotel rooms, too, with all their clothes ending up in a pile, and thus forgetting who's shirt is who's and swapping. But, the first point you made is probably most likely because... men's fashion is like that. Often plain and repeatable. But I also would believe the second, too, lol. I don't know about Ilaria Urbinati (Chris' stylist), but Michael Fisher has done some pretty ship-ish shit over the years, lmao. And I love that he has. It's so entertaining every time. It makes me lose my mind.

Here's a few examples:

Sharing pants

Comparing outfits

This is just... what the fuck. WHAT THE FUCK.

And I can't find the exact post 😫 but I'm pretty sure I remember Michael Fisher roasted this shirt of Chris'? I recall him posting an Instagram story where he compared the tan patch around his stomach to looking like... someone's stomach

So, if he doesn't ship it, he at least is very aware of Chris and his fashion choices 👀

But, yes! Whatever the reason, it's fucked up!! Oof, yeah, I assume you're talking about either

"Room 427" by musette22 and paperstorm

Or, possibly,

"sweet disposition (never too soon)" by luninosity

Either way, yes!! I will always be a sucker for the accidently-swapping-clothes-after-a-hurried-fuck. It's so good

I appreciate your rambles, haha. Thanks!

[paperstorm]

Seven sentence Sunday

I was tagged by @iboatedhere @strandnreyes @reyesstrand and @welcometololaland. Like others I have interpreted this as seven lines sunday lol, not strictly actual sentences.

TK squeezes his hands, and the dam Carlos had hastily constructed as he was shutting the door behind his parents starts to crack a little. “I never … thought I’d have that,” he admits.

Stepping a little closer into him, TK nods and waits for him to continue.

“I love them so much,” Carlos sighs. “I tried to convince myself it was enough that they accepted me and didn’t throw me out of the house like lots of parents do.”

“But it wasn’t.”

Carlos shakes his head, tears coming to his eyes that he tries to blink away. “I wanted this so badly, TK. Them meeting someone I love and loving him too, being happy for me. Being proud of me.”

“They are.”

“I didn’t even want to let myself think about how much I needed it,” Carlos says, with a soft laugh and a shake of his head.

Fic Rec Friday 3/24/23

Title: Abduction Seduction

Rating: Mature

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Category: M/M

Fandoms: X-Men: First Class (2011) - Fandom, X-Men (Movies)

Relationship: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier

Characters: Erik Lehnsherr, Charles Xavier, Original Alien Character(s)

Additional Tags: Aliens Made Them Do It, Fluff and Crack, First Time, Love Confessions, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Sexual Content, Aliens Are Voyeurs, Happy Ending

Summary:

"Seriously," Charles said, and stared at the alien. "Seriously. No."

"A successful mating demonstration will earn you food," the alien reminded them helpfully, from the other side of the clear glowing door.

———

A bit of a blast from the past for today’s rec. In that it was first posted, damn, nine years ago. Nine years ago exactly in two weeks! Maybe I should have waited and posted this rec on its anniversary?

Nah. Still, decent enough timing I must say. Absolutely not planned at all.

It may be an older story, but I can assure you, it is well worth checking out. And I’m not just saying that because both of the authors are dear friends of mine. No, this fic is truly amazing. It’s my personal barometer of quality for ‘crack treated seriously’ fics, because that’s exactly what it is. It’s the most cracky premise you could ever think of - aliens made them do it - and yet… yet…

It’s so soft. And tender. The emotions are strong and real. Every now and then, the crack pokes through, but it never feels like mood whiplash. You might not think you could get that much emotional mileage out of a premise like this, but somehow, it manages - and then some. The love scene is almost unbearably beautiful, especially for a fic about being abducted by aliens who just wanna watch the characters fuck, lol.

The ending is perfect. A sublime, hilarious, “well, that happened” cap on a fic full of tender emotions and cracky comedy that makes me laugh (and sigh dreamily) every time I reread it.

Truly magical.

———

Next week’s rec: Hmm… You know what I’ve been reading a lot of lately? Steddie. And I just added a couple more fabulous fics to my bookmarks. How about one of those? I’ve been trying to keep the recs a bit diverse in terms of ships, but that’ll only last so long, lol. Plus, I really like what I’ve been reading.

Until next time!
