fandom: xmfc summary:  You know that this love will kill him. You know this, and you love him anyway.

fandom: xmfc pairing: alex/darwin, though it’s kind of implicit summary:

Melita Garner gets the scoop of a lifetime: a visit with the X-Men.  The centerpiece?  An interview with their leader, Darwin, and his dangerous right-hand-man.

ooooh this is a tricky one because this could be a power of some kind or it couLD even be a title of some kind? i’m going go with it being a language for the sake of this #throwback to fics/pairings i haven’t written in a while

the dreamspeak - in a world where very few know how to speak dreams anymore, alex keeps having dreams unlike any he’s ever had before. cause for one thing, they all end with him holding a compass spinning madly like it can’t find north. and for another thing, where telepaths are usually able to glean a little bit of his dreams just by touching the edges of his thoughts, charles and jean both say alex isn’t having dreams at all. (guess who has dreamspeak. i dare you.) so alex goes on a mission to find his boy (who’s been speaking to him in dreams) to try and bring him back to corporeality. 

Anon here’s the amazing fic you’re looking for!

Unfinished Business by pocky_slash [Cherik, Alex/Armando, Moira/Nick Fury, R]

It's March of 1963 and Charles Xavier's life seems to be falling into place. Sebastian Shaw is dead and he, Erik, Moira, and their team and young pupils are well on their way to opening their mutant school for fall enrollment.

katherine @jehanthepoet​ sent me a "the biggest rule of immortality is to not get involved with mortals but whoops I was in a coffeeshop one day and fell in love with you and now I'm freaking out bc in the grand scope of things we don't get a lot of time togetherbut fuck no please don't leave me not yet no" au like over a year ago and i wrote it but it ran away from me and also the prompt?

so have almost 1200 words of pain about immortals and altrealities. alex/armando, duh

pinging also @bigenderalexsummers​, @transmanscottsummers​, @bronanlynch​, and @hadeandays​

Their story begins and ends and begins again in front of a hole-in-the-wall coffee place in the Village. Darwin orders the same thing every dayexcept for the day that he meets Alex, the first time, when Sean tells him that they’re out of espresso so Darwin just orders a hot chocolate instead.It’s not like he’s exhausted enough to need a caffeine hit, after all. It’s not like he even needs the caffeine hit, which is a good thing, because heturns around and promptly walks into a blonde man who is decidedly not paying him any mind, and spills the chocolate all over his nice white t-shirt.

“Oh, no,” Darwin says, which is an understatement. The man looks furious, but then, curiously, his face blanks.

“No harm done,” the man says. “Wasn’t hot enough to burn me, anyway. I expect Sean made it?”

“I resent that,” Sean pouted, crossing his arms.

“Let me buy you another one,” the man says, and leans over to the counter. “Make it right this time, buddy.” Sean sticks his tongue out and turnsaway.

“I— I can’t—,” Darwin says, actually stammering for the first time in his life, because the man has looked up and he has narrow eyes that seem tostare straight through Darwin’s head like he can see everything inside.

“Let me,” the man says. “I’d love to stay and talk, but I need to run home and change before I miss my class. Sean, put it on my tab.”

“You got it, boss,” Sean says, in a monotone, and the blond man grins and hurries off before Darwin can ask for his name, or better yet, hisnumber.

“Who was that?” Darwin manages, finally.

“Who, Alex?” Sean says, leaning over the counter. “Just some upstart physics major. I dunno. Why, you think he’s cute?”

“I think his eyes are an ocean,” Darwin mutters.

Sean, who knows a thing or two about the immortality curse, whistles lowly. “Hard luck.”

Summary: “So,” says a voice in his ear, “you must be some kind of, uh, pinball wizard, huh?” Alex jumps- being in solitary for three years has taken its toll on his reaction time.

“Nah, I’ve only been playing for like two- wait, what?”

Because Alex has traced the writing on his hip for five years now, the writing that in large, perfect loops, says exactly what this man has just said to him. It’s just perfect, isn’t it, that not two hours after he plays pinball for the first time he meets his fucking soulmate.
