HEY FRIEND! Hello and welcome! People call me Betty or that tall girl over there. This is where I sometimes write, but mainly ramble and get excited about things INCLUDING: x-men, badass ladies, film stuff, history, comics, art, space AND MORE.

Congratulations Ike! May I request some Cherik involving Erik just being really happy? Maybe they're on vacation or Erik drank too much or it's their wedding day; literally anything with happy!Erik would be grand!

The morning after, Erik woke up to find Charlessnuggled so close to him that there was barely even any space to breathe. Hisface was tucked into Erik’s shoulder, his hair falling over Erik’s nose andmouth. He had an arm wrapped possessively around Erik’s chest, and he wasletting off heat like a furnace. A light sheen of sweat stuck their naked skintogether everywhere they were connected. Erik’s right arm, wedged underCharles’s body, had gone numb, and his bladder was starting to let him knowthat it needed to be emptied, quite urgently.

It was uncomfortable, but Erik was absolutelydetermined not to move. He’d fantasized about waking up with Charles’s in hisarms, in his bed, for the last twoyears. He was going to savor every second of this for as long as he could,discomfort be damned.

“That’s sweet.”

Erik started and turned his head, nose pressingagainst Charles’s ear. “You’re awake?”

Charles shifted around so he could look up into Erik’sface and smiled. “I’ve been awake for a while. I was just waiting for you towake up.” He ran his hand along Erik’s bare chest and smirked. “And justenjoying this, of course.”

When he touched the hickey he had sucked into Erik’scollarbone last night, Erik shivered. The idea of Charles marking him filledhim with sharp satisfaction and pleasure. The fact that he’d marked Charles upin return only deepened his satisfaction.

I promised @ikeracity​ I would write her a thing because she was doing some VERY IMPORTANT LIFE THINGS yesterday. Her prompt was the above picture, which I found very inspiring. As you will see.  Ike, I hope you like this!! Proud of you, buddy!! 

Everyone else - I hope you like this too! I miss fandom, but I promise I’m still creeping around. I don’t know if that’s meant to be comforting or...anyways, here’s the thing:

“It’s untenable.”

Erik could feel the vein in his forehead pulsing, ready to burst. “A publication meant to be fair and balanced, giving a two page spread to a group of human apologists?”

His fingers were itching for his computer. He’d already mentally drafted the first several paragraphs of his open letter to the editor of the Washington Square News.

“It’s a student newspaper,” Emma said dryly, delicately pulling the lid off of her coffee. “Who cares?”

“We should all care!” Erik shouted, drawing the attention of the Starbucks patrons. “This is why I started Homosuperior in the first place - because the mainstream media refuses to talk about mutant issues without watering it down with this ‘all lives matter’ bullshit.”

“Is Erik talking about his livejournal again?” Azazel asked, arriving seemingly out of nowhere and flopping down next to them.  

“It’s a blog,” Erik gritted out, “on wordpress.”

Azazel grinned and stole half of Erik’s cookie. “I know.”

FIC: Charles and Erik are bad at being broken up

This is for @ikeracity for her BIRTHDAY!!! And only one day late, which, let’s face it, is pretty good by my standards...She wanted ex-boyfriends who still love each other, and fluff. I’m not sure if this is that but I tried!

I’ve also realized that without ike as a sounding board, I have no idea how to write anymore so....sorry lol

After a few drinks, Charles thoughts always turn to Erik.  To be fair, Erik is always on his mind, whether he’s awake or asleep or sober, but after a third glass of whiskey the tenor of the thoughts shift from hurt and muddled resentment to the shape of Erik’s mouth when he smiles, or his long fingers reaching toward Charles from across a table.

On this particular night, when Charles has lost track of the number of drinks he’s had and the lights of the bar are swinging lazily before his eyes, he aches for Erik. Every other man he sees has Erik’s height, Erik’s eyes, the same auburn hair. He has to struggle to keep his thoughts in check, his mind an unleashed animal that hunts the room for one mind, that shining beacon – and comes back with nothing, only the void Charles has felt for the past two weeks.

From Tom + Lorenzo:

“We mean, if we’re being perfectly honest about it, we’re only putting these up to open up a discussion on his thighs. 

But if we must earn our fashion blogger dollar for the day, we suppose we should note that apparently, little wrinkled jackets are all the rage among the boystars this week.

Also: that gray in his hair is really doing things for him.

But really: thighs.”

|KJHDKJHADLKJDH I HAVE THIS IDEA FOR A STUPID FIC BUT I HAVE NO TIME TO WRITE IT - where charles and erik are public personalities within the mutant rights community who are also dating and charles is suddenly garnering all this attention, not for his advocacy on integration policies and mutant education, but for his “fashion” sense. And he’s like “see Erik! People think I dress well!! ” 

And Erik isn’t sure whether he’s more pissed off that people think CHARLES has good taste when his “artfully distressed boots and fashionably wrinkled jackets” are just crap he’s had for 20 years and his inability to iron anything, while ERIK is the one who gets his suits tailored on Saville Row and spends time thinking about things like colour-coordination, or if he’s angry because people on the internet are talking about the inappropriate things they want to do to Charles and his thighs...

SO DUMB BUT I WANT IT SOMEONE WRITE IT FOR ME IM LATE FOR WORK.
