First Breath After Coma by Signe (oxoniensis) Charles wakes up to find he's been in a coma for two years, and the world he thought he lived in is a lie.

Simple and Uncomplicated by Pookaseraph Erik and Charles had been fuck buddies for some, but when Charles is in an accident he figured their relationship would be over. Erik's visit to his bedside in the hospital changes his assumptions even as he has trouble believing Erik is sincere.

Fatal Distraction by grim_lupine Raven is six years older than Charles; Charles has never really considered this age difference vitally important in one way or another, except to decide that even if Raven were six years younger than Charles, she would probably boss him around in the exact same way. He doesn’t really think much of the difference between fifteen and twenty-one, until Raven comes home from college for a study weekend with her new best friend in tow, introduces him cheerfully as Erik Lehnsherr, and Charles finds himself falling head-over-heels into a train wreck of doomed lust. 

Out In The Cold by amarriageoftrueminds imagine Charles and Erik recruiting a new mutant and them being all like, 'woah you're a telepath!? cool man! well feel free to rummage around in my head, I won't stop ya - gotta be true to your mutant self, right?' And Charles being really touched by this and going 'really? gosh… you know, you're the only person who’s ever said that to me!’ and Erik and Raven just freeze. ⊙‿⊙✿

This is one of the most brilliant articles ever written, super long but important food for thought. Ive already seen a few of these tragic stories come to light this year, and having read this earlier it really changed my perspective.
