favorite color | ballet pink

last song | the new basement tapes' when i get my hands on you! this was in people we meet on vacation and i recognized the singer immediately - MARCUS MUMFORD'S VOICE IS GLORIOUS - and i've listened a lotttttt since.

currently watching | ncis! ellie came back last night for a oner. marcus mumford's armchair expert episode! jonathan groff's installment of the web series celebrity substitute! found, adored, and have been repeating this vid a bunch!

all credit to Aphrodite on youtube!

currently reading | i just finished kate quinn's latest, the astral library! i was about halfway through when i realized it's meant to be magical realism, thus explaining the page count staying in the two hundreds while most of the sentences were 25+ words long. still awesome, though! also, the entire time i was reading, i had you're never fully dressed without a smile from annie in my head -- the main male character's name is beau, he's a fashion designer, and his atelier is brummell's! i was wondering why this sounded familiar and -- TA DA!

currently craving | nerds gummy clusters! i made my way through both packs i bought a few weeks ago and i reallyyyyyy need to get some more. they're my new obsession! i've alwaysssss loved nerds - like, since i was in preschool, but i tended to stay away from them and pick other candies because my spastic self inevitably ended up dumping half the box on the floor and down my shirt instead of in my mouth. gummy clusters solve my physicality woes and deliver my beloved sugar rush back to me after multiple decades.

coffee or tea | literally anything caffeinated is my absolute kryptonite! i adore arizona green iced tea, fully leaded peach snapple, starbucks chais with oat milk, and coffee with so many insane creamer varieties it's ridiculous!

last dream | honestly, i have so much trouble getting to sleep that it's usually like falling off a cliff and i remember nothing in the morning. usually, the ones i do remember have me in imminent yet interesting peril; i wake up before i perish! or i bond with a celebrity i enjoy!

last good advice i got | 'sixty minutes, once, might make a core memory. whatever happens, though, you'll still be breathing and everything you were at the start.' -

Hello anon! 👋

Do you mean long fic where they’re teens, or teen-rated? Here’s a list of long-fic where they’re teens, but let me know if you were thinking of rating, not age!

Fic: you follow and i’ll lead by pearl_o, pocky_slash                

Summary: When Charles discovers how frustrated and self-conscious his best friend Erik is about his ignorance about sex, he’s eager to volunteer to help teach him and practice. Charles might not have any more direct experience than Erik, but he does have a telepath’s mind full of accidentally picked-up fantasies and memories, as well as knowledge of a few dirty books - and more importantly, he’s been madly in love with Erik for years. This seems like a brilliant, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he can’t pass up.

Now he just needs to manage to keep his feelings in check, and not ruin their friendship forever.

Fic: Late Bloomer by so_shhy

Summary: Erik is a mutant jock with ISSUES. Charles is a geeky transfer student and totally human… (or is he?)

Fic: How Not To Get A Date in Mutant High by stereophoenix

Summary: It’s sort of like this: Raven and Erik don’t like each other so Emma makes them have a bet but then Hank turns up and wants to date Raven but Kurt doesn’t approve because John wants her too so they appeal to Charles to date Erik but Charles and Raven aren’t getting along because of a problem no-one knows about but Ororo seems to know it and she won’t talk because she’s too interested in Kurt and then…maybe you should just read it. Or make a spider diagram.A 10 Things I Hate About You AU

Fic: You and Me Against the World by madmalina

Summary: One important thing to remember: this is a love story.Twenty years and two lifetimes later. Just two boys learning to mutant, grow up, and love each other.

Fic: World Revolution War by ninemoons42

Summary: After being orphaned as a child, the only things left to Erik Lehnsherr are a memory of being alive and being loved, and a strange rose signet ring that had belonged to his mother. Eventually that ring leads him to a strange school, where students fight duels with live steel for a great but mysterious prize, and finds himself pulled not just toward the idea of something called World Revolution, but also into the orbit of a boy known as the Rose Groom.

(Or: X-Men: First Class meets an AU of Revolutionary Girl Utena.)

Fic: Sour Cherry by Sophia_Bee                

Summary: A Gossip Girl inspired AU, Erik Lehnsherr is the angry queer Jewish scholarship kid at Dalton, an exclusive private school in New York City. Charles Xavier is the golden boy with the perfect life and the perfect girlfriend, except he can’t get through the day without being stoned and he feels like he’s living his life for everyone else. A chance encounter in a Dalton bathroom starts something that changes everything for both of them.

Fic: A Winter in New York by nextraordinaire                

Summary: Charles and Erik have been childhood friends for as long as they can remember  – Erik, living with his mother in Queens, and Charles in the big mansion in Westchester. For all, expect themselves, it was just natural progression that they’d end up together.

A series of ficlets from the same universe – can be read as separate and are out of chronological order.

Fic: Wings by UrbanNightingale

Summary: Life wasn’t easy for Charles Xavier - with his mother missing and an abusive stepfamily always breathing down his neck. It sure didn’t get any easier the day he found out the he was special. That he possessed powers some people would be prepared to kill him for.

Fic: If You Liked The Book, You’ll Hate The Movie by paperclipbitch

Fic: don’t wake me, i’m not dreaming by Geertrui                

Summary: Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier have never gotten along, it’s a school-wide known fact. But when Charles dies in a wrong-place, wrong-time accident that Erik could have prevented, guilt plagues him for weeks; a guilt on which he pins hallucinations, paranoia, and his mental instability.
