send me ⛓ for an arranged marriage AU between our muses

Magneto was dead. It happened slowly--shockingly--out in the field. Something something humankind had finally found a way around his otherworldly metal-manipulation. Charles thought, somewhere deep and selfishly inside his head, that he'd be relieved. Magneto was cold and calculating and looked at Charles with such distance in his eyes it was a wonder the stunted telepath ever once loved him thought him capable of change.

He did change. For the worse.

Yes, he had...but it wasn't relief Charles felt as he put Vivian to bed that night. It wasn't grief either. Ahead of them now lay the unknown; Erik Magneto had been the rock anchoring the Brotherhood together. With him gone, Charles very much feared whatever order had been instilled would start to fracture. Starting with his frightful partner, Emma Frost.

The Diamond Queen had not taken the loss well. To what degree, Charles tried his hardest to sidestep but there were a handful of new bruises around his wrist to show for it. He didn't blame her, not really...while he'd never been permitted very far into their inner circle (relegated mostly to nanny once his powers stopped working properly) he knew Emma had cared for the metal-bender to some degree.

So when she promptly decided Charles would be taking his place (or adopting a new role,) he was floored.

"I...ah..." he stammered, looking anywhere but into those dark blue eyes. He knew this declaration did not come with generosity in mind: the equal footing she and Erik Magneto shared they'd cultivated together. He also knew saying no would not end well, so he stood there, grinding his teeth and hoping he didn't look as terrified as he felt. When an answer finally entered his mind, he took a deep breath and tried to keep the words from shaking.

"Why...why me? I'm not...I haven't exactly exp-perience in any position of p-p-power. Wouldn't, ummmm...wouldn't Azazel be a better fit?"

Gently, Erik put his arm around Charles’ shoulders and tugged him closer. “Can I see your arm?” he asked softly, his other hand outstretched. “Please?”

When the other man pulled him in, relief washed over Charles in waves. He knew it would, that was in part why he’d sought Erik out to begin with. He needed–still needed to feel something more than distress and frustration and the Xavier family’s irreparable disappointment. He wasn’t beyond help; Erik proved it to him time and again and the more they worked at it the more Charles realized maybe…just maybe he wasn’t the problem anymore. Maybe he hadn’t been for a long time…

He nodded again, laying his forearm down in Erik’s hand.

I found this gif and it reminded me of the above RP💔

Poor Charles…may you never feel this low again😢

abatina :   is there anything in life your muse has changed their mind about over time   ( due to becoming more educated on the topic ,   certain experiences  ,   etc .) , or that they   would   change their mind about under certain circumstances ?

Oh absolutely. She had to in order to rebuild any relationship with her father. Vivian used to idolize Erik as a child - not quite as much as her mother, but she desperately wanted his praise and attention. As she grew up, she realized what the Brotherhood really stood for and what kind of people (she thought) her parents were. It took eight years before she even considered speaking to Erik again, and that's only because he reached out to her...and proved to her Charles was not only alive, but safe and seemed to trust him. Charles was her only friend growing up and she loved him fiercely.

Fastforward to where we are now: Erik is her best friend. She's very much her father's daughter and actually a little proud of that. However, she will correct you if you compare her to Magneto. She's proud of being Erik Lehnsherr's daughter only.

aloe :   how does your muse handle grief ?

That’s better❤️

Charles turned around; elbow-deep in flour, he hadn't heard his daughter approach. He turned towards her, taking note of her playful eyes and bright smile, and burst out laughing.

♡ Send me a ship and I’ll tell you

Who accidentally pushes a door instead of pulling/vice versa Charles has absolutely done this in the past, but it was usually nervous oversight. Now, Erik tugs his chair around with his powers, and he's far too attentive for that to happen.

Who doodles little hearts all over the desk with their initials inside them Charles <3

Who starts the tickle fights I think they both do this, but it's mostly Erik. He tends to rub his beard all over Charles' face sometimes, especially when Charles starts giggling and tells him its ticklish. Tell me Erik wouldn't take this a step further to tease and hear his husband's laughter

Who starts the pillow fights Charles XD I can't really see them having pillow fights, but I'm sure he's playfully tossed a pillow at Erik and told him he's being ridiculous or especially flirtatious

Who falls asleep last, watching the other with a small affectionate smile They definitely both do this, but I have a feeling Charles tends to fall asleep first. So it's mostly Erik. Charles actually takes comfort in the thought his husband is watching over him while he sleeps ;-; even though he knows he's safe here, every now and then, it's nice to feel that reinforcement.

Who mistakes salt for sugar Erik. Charles would never

Who lets the microwave play the loud beeping sound at 1am in the morning Probably Charles and likely only when one of them can't sleep so they're both up as a result and maybe make a midnight snack or hot chocolate before cuddling up on the couch (spoiler alert: they fall asleep pretty quickly after that)

Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines ERIK. It's awful and adorable and leaves Charles blushing and giggling.

Who rearranges the bookshelf in alphabetical order Charles for sure.

Who licks the spoon when they’re baking brownies They both do this. In fact, I think Charles does this full-well knowing Erik is watching, and then hands it over with his big, puppy dog eyes insisting he do the same.

Who buys candles for dinners even though there’s no special occasion I think this is more of an Erik thing?

Who draws little tattoos on the other with a pen Neither of them do this in canon but in verses like Oxford or even North v South, it's absolutely Charles

Who comes home with a new souvenir magnet every time they go on vacation Charles~ I can see him loving cute little magnets

"Erik..." Charles dissolved into gentle laughter. He raised his head, wriggling up beside his husband so that they were eye-level on the couch. Not for the first time, this wonderfully lived-in Erik nearly took Charles' breath away. This, right here, is what he'd always hoped for the man he loved.

"You don't need to ask me, anymore," Charles said, and then he did kiss him, burying his hands in his husband's sweater.

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
