Thinking Cherik Thoughts...

Helluva Hullabaloo (The Big Gay Mutant Miracle Baby Remix)

Charles probably shouldn't have put off telling Erik that he was joking about being pregnant.

The Last Love Song & Testament of Charles F. Xavier

When Erik is accused of domestic terrorism, Charles has no choice but to marry him to keep him out of jail.

The Apparent Trap

So much has changed for David recently: after spending the summer on his father’s book tour, he and Dad are closer than ever. In a special mutant program on Saturdays, he’s learning a ton about mutant history—and he even made a new friend, Wanda.

Unfortunately, Wanda’s twin brother, Pietro, seems to love tormenting him—so much that their parents are called in. David had thought his biggest worries were Pietro’s pranks and his ongoing crush on his classmate, Teddy. But none of them could have predicted what would happen when their fathers wound up in a room together...

Repeat Offenses

“Prickly bits aside—hell, for the two of them, prickly bits included—it almost felt like a date. Which is stupid on multiple fronts. Grudgingly buying your ex a meal after he grudgingly bails you out of jail is obviously not a date.”

Five times Charles bailed Erik out of jail—and one time he didn’t.

Seeking the light in the shadows✝️✨

it's cherik, politician erik / journalist charles, and charles goes UNDERCOVER on erik's campaign pretending to be a sweet shy virginal omega, which he is not, he is none of those three things, he is in fact a deeply scheming menace running an entire operation on a man who has no idea he's the target

I wanted to write an omega who weaponises every stereotype people project onto him – the wide eyes, the blushing, the whole "overwhelmed little omega" act – purely as a tool to get what he wants, which in this case is access, information, and a career-defining exposé. he's not being seduced. he is the one doing the seducing, on purpose, with a plan, while internally narrating his own performance like a smug little gremlin.

the fun part for me was the gap between what charles is performing and what he's actually thinking – he's constantly telling himself he has everything completely under control while the reader can see exactly how not-true that is. also erik has no idea any of this is happening, which felt important to establish, because watching someone genuinely fall for a con while the audience knows better is just. very fun. for me. to write.

anyway it was meant to be a one shot but will now be 5 chapters. good god i need self control haha

chapter 1 is up now:
