charles: look i would appreciate it if you didn't try to kill my sister
erik, rolling his eyes: that was one time
raven: is that what you told yourself when you slept with my brother
cherik playing chess is 2026 might cure me
the probability that marvel will fuck up cherik in doomsday is high, but the probability that the fandom will milk the few on-screen cherik interactions is inevitable
hear me out first class erik and apocalypse charles set in dofp
the dissertation is actually going to be in the form of an ao3 work titled after a chess strategy and everything is a metaphor for gay sex or blatant homoerotic tension
the way i could write a 20 page dissertation on the symbolism of cherik's pastime being chess
tbh if i saw my ex lying on the ground in a lilac sweater with the most luscious brown locks begging me to remember the time he helped me understand that there is good within my rageful soul i would probably give up advocating for human genocide and make out with him
idk what erik was on
charles: they're just following orders
erik: what the fuck did you just say
poor charles how exhausting it seemed to have to constantly talk erik down from tapping into his instinctive vengeful hatred
erik: i want you by my side
charles: i want to be with you. we are not the same
actually my favorite horror film is x men first class
"cherik got married in paris and then-" they spent the rest of their lives playing chess and having heated political debates that ended in aggressively making out and lived happily ever after. the end.
no i didn't draft a cherik fic where erik is president of a chess club and charles is "new in town" and erik is subtle with his powers and he's also a bit of an asshole because of some silly tragic backstory and charles joins said chess club and they're both on debate
no absolutely not why would i do that when i haven't completed literally anything else
thinking about how charles xavier was still at the restaurant even after 1962
the way i could write a 20 page dissertation on the symbolism of cherik's pastime being chess
rip dofp charles you would have loved wrecking ball by miley cyrus
my roman empires
Taylor Swift mashup
He had a halo of the highest grade
He just hadn't met me yet
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief
In the good in the world, you once believed in me
"i couldn't disobey you even if i wanted" erik was begging for it at that point
"cHaRLeS xAviEr" but in a slurred posh accent
Who Knew - P!nk
And I won't forget you, my friend
What happened?
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss, I'll cherish until we meet again
And time makes it harder, I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory, you visit me in my sleep
My darling, who knew?
Delicate - Taylor Swift
Oh damn, never seen that color blue
Just think of the fun things we could do
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
imagine jumping into the ocean to save a stranger and developing a strong bond with said stranger while helping him realize the goodness within his tortured self only to be repaid by being betrayed and paralyzed from the waist down so you relinquish your telepathic powers in order to walk but then some hairy dude with claws claiming to be from the future tells you that you have to break the stranger out of the pentagon as he allegedly murdered the president during his year of being a mutant terrorist because it's essential for the future and as much as you despise this no-longer-a-stranger you have been undeniably in love with him and by the end of everything you're at a cafe in paris with him playing your favorite shared pastime and being proposed to
i think there was a time that charles, for all of his good-doing and faith in humanity, would have walked away from it all if it meant that erik would come with him
like, i understand that his character is driven by helping others, but erik was the exception. erik was the exception from the moment they met, and erik was the exception when charles chose to shout about how erik left him above everything else twice
friendly reminder that the beach divorce briefly appears during the credits of deadpool and wolverine
how the hell did erik lehnsherr divorce charles xavier when he was looking at him like this on that damn beach
denial anger
bargaining depression
acceptance
