Hey gang!

Since it’s Pride Month, I figured I’d make a post exclusively dedicated to my muses gender+sexuality headcanons. I’m not going to include characters like Oliver and Raven since I don’t write for them that often.

Prime universe:

Charles Xavier - Formerly bisexual, now identifies as asexual biromantic. Tends to keep the second bit to himself as he believes himself too damaged to be an adequate partner (and after being hurt by Erik, is extremely reluctant to fall in love again.)

James Xavier - James identifies as heterosexual, but he’s actual bisexual, with a very strong preference towards women (like an 80 - 20 ratio.) He hasn’t come across any men he’s attracted to yet, but his doppelganger has... James is a bit of a weird one in that he’s almost exclusively attracted to extraterrestrial women XD (Does that make him pansexual?)

Vivian Lehnsherr (Ice Queen) - Bisexual, but with a strong preference towards women.  She’s experienced attraction to men in the past, but has only been with women. 

David Xavier (adult) - Graysexual. He doesn’t usually experience sexual attraction, but every so often Violet draws it out of him.

Blake Summers - Heterosexual but desperately wishes he were asexual and aromantic and tried to live that lifestyle due to high anxiety...at least until he met Laura.

Professor X - This version of X never surfaces long enough to dedicate any time to himself, so he loosely considers himself asexual. He’s actually gay, but probably won’t discover that in the Prime Universe </3

Doppelganger universe:

Charles Xavier - Demisexual/Graysexual. He isn’t entirely sure and tends not to dwell on it. Formerly identified as asexual before a heated debate with Magneto ended with them in bed. For this version of Charles, his sex drive is primarily tied to intense emotion and his inability to get over Erik Lehnsherr.

James Darkholme - Bisexual, with a strong preference towards women (same ratio as James Prime.) He thought he was straight for the longest time, until he joined Torchwood and found himself crushing on Captain Jack Harkness. 

Vivian Lehnsherr - Bisexual, with a strong preference towards men. She has experienced attraction to both before, although hasn’t been with a woman (yet??) She’s still in love with Charles Xavier and right now, that keeps getting in the way.

Malekith - Panromantic, possibly asexual or demisexual. He’s not really sure and since regenerating into Tennant’s face, hasn’t taken any time to figure that out. As a Dark Elf, he identified as asexual.

Wyl Darkholme - Non-binary. They’re still figuring out their sexuality but might be gay?

Dark!Blake - Heterosexual. Still possesses lingering anxiety but after learning to control his powers, he’s less afraid of physical touch.

Second Chances:

Charles Xavier - Asexual Biromantic, with a preference towards men. Mostly Erik. They’re happily married and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Second Chances Charles tends to use telepathic intimacy as a substite for sexual intimacy. Wherever that puts him, he’s happy with.

X - Gay but also possibly demisexual? He really only experiences attraction towards Erik, but that might be because Erik is the only man to sit down and really get to know him.

Vivian Lehnsherr - Similar to her doppelganger universe counterpart, she’s bisexual with a strong preference towards men. She still hasn’t been with a woman but had an on-again, off-again relationship with Remy LeBeau before meeting her future husband.

Guinevere Lehnsherr - Asexual Aromantic. She’s perfectly content with familial love and support.

Rahne Sinclair - because I really wanna get the New Mutants storyline off the ground again— Rahne is gay but is still learning to openly accept that part of herself. She’s never really had a safe place to do that </3

David hesitated. His eyes, always a little wider when caught red-handed (caught by the cat!) glanced about, before settling on her face again.

‘You’re right,’ he confessed, and though he spoke with his mind, a sigh followed his words. ‘I didn’t want to tell you. I thought if you knew my body died out there, you might...’ ‘leave me, ‘he wanted to say, but the words stuck to his brain like glue and wouldn’t materialize. David’s mouth thinned, and a muscle twitched beside his jaw.

David paused. Slowly, almost mechanically, his brow furrowed and he reached up to touch his face. Sure enough, his skin was a tad warmer than before.

A compliment

The Time Lord once known as David Xavier (primarily called ‘David’ as of late) watched the Time Eaters (Time Demons) scamper off, clicking and squeaking in with their metaphorical tails between their legs. He continued to watch as the source of their fear, a young woman with the prowess of an ancient beast hissed after them, her sturdy frame crackling with eerie blue energy. It was an ethereal sight, he decided, leaning against the doorframe. An otherworldly sight that reminded him vaguely of the stories his grandfather told him as a boy: Cybermen and Daleks, stone angels that moved behind closed eyes and a woman bleeding golden light, her touch as delicate as it was deadly—

The adult David shook his head, stepping out of his thoughts. He crossed his arms, a rare display of casual body language that these days didn’t feel so rare at all. He remembered the first night he tried to sleep after those stories: how the shadows flickered on the walls, making hollow faces in his imagination. He remembered walking the halls of his home like a ghost, moving with all the sluggishness of exhaustion. He also remembered how his sister coaxed the answer from him and how he swore her to secrecy. Some things, he said, in the language of a child under ten. Some things were worth being frightened.

Violet turned around then, a sharp, erratic twitch that gave away her awareness of the Timestream. She blinked her glowing blue eyes, tilting her head much like the predator she could be.

“What?” David regarded her a moment.

‘You frighten me, Violet,’ he said and then his face broke into a smile.
