Summary
(Can completely be read as a standalone don't worry, but if you'd want more context to the fact Steve is here even post‐Thunderbolts it's explained in my fic Familiarity. I just wanted to give it an actual ending since i havent touched it in months)
(Also, also, don't think to much about the times and years thanks)Stucky are caught in Spiderman's universe fiasco, where in one moment they slept in one cozy morning, and in the next they've found themselves stuck in the middle of a more-or-less unfamiliar world.
And... Charles is still pretty much going through it and felt useless to help.

Summary
Charlotte Xavier is absolutely fine.
She thinks about being a boy a lot, but that doesn't mean she's trans. Just like how her dreaming up different ways to end her own life doesn't mean she's suicidal. She'll never follow through on it, just like she'll never be able to be a man.

Summary
Somewhere among the clutter of the bathroom counter, a pair of scissors glints in the light - silver and dangerous.
A bad decision sits before Charlotte, edging itself into her periphery, and it seems all she knows how to do in this day and age is make bad fucking decisions.

Erik will be delighted to be Dad for a whole school, Charles. He might even agree to be called Mom if Dad's role is already taken. by Hilimi

Summary
To be perfectly honest, Charles had not even expected to get past the stage of booking a plane ticket, so boarding, flying and finally landing? Surreal. He was "Mr Mutant Assimilationist" visiting "Isolationist Mutant Island" as a tourist.
And yet, there he was, a mutant father on holiday with his two overexcited children, whom he had to keep away from trouble and danger. With his telepathy and Peter being so quick he did not think there would be any particular problem. Then David chose to cling to fucking terrorist President Magneto who apparently was on the same plane as them.
These children would be the death of him, it was becoming clearer every day.

Summary
Ten years ago, Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr got a divorce. It was a long, nasty, dramatic process. It was eventually settled that Charles would keep the Westchester mansion, Erik the Chicago penthouse, they’d swap the Hamptons summer house every year, and the London townhouse as well as the Italian vacation home would go into a trust for the children. The children would spend the school year with Charles, then would go with Erik during the summer and most holidays.
It was all planned out so meticulously, leaving no t’s uncrossed and no i’s undotted, that Charles and Erik haven’t seen each other even once in the last decade. They never accidentally bumped into each other at a kid’s band concert, or school play, sports game, not even at each high school or college graduation.
Then Alex decides to go and get married, and the family all has to get back together to celebrate his union with Hank McCoy.

Summary
Charles knew the charges when he agreed to analyze Erik Lehnsherr for capacity to stand trial. A political bombing, dead bodies on scene, rumors of cannibalism. He was fully prepared to be behind plexiglass with shaking hands and nightmares for the rest of his life.
What he hadn't seen, was a photo.
And now APA guidelines are shaking in their boots, because the accused has cheekbones that could cut glass, stormy grey eyes, and a dedication to cross every professional boundary ever made ever.
(wildly unethical and a dash of transference/countertransference, forensic psychologist Charles Xavier is trying so hard to keep his cool)

Summary
Charles Xavier is headmaster to a prestigious school for mutants. Erik Lehnsherr is a mutant terrorist. They play chess on the weekends when they're not trying to actively destroy each other's legacies (or kill the president, or go to space, or recruit various mutants into their cool kid clubs). It's unlikely, and it works, even if neither of them would ever let it slip that they have been seen with the other. Or, even if they leave a lot of things unsaid. Or kind of don't say anything at all, mostly.
It works out. It's a good place to be in, better than before. Right?
Why do they want to hang out, again?
And anyway, what is so wrong with getting tipsy and playing chess with your ex-situationship turned "We Were Literally on the News Together for Terrorism Related Incidents" arch-nemesis? A lot. There's a lot wrong with it, actually.
Charles and Erik drink, play chess, talk about their feelings (oof), and mostly, honestly, argue. There's a lot of arguing.

Summary
"Das nächste Mal musst du dich mehr anstrengen, um mich zu töten."
Next time, you'll have to try harder to kill me.
Erik thought he killed Shaw (one). He saw the coin go through his head (two). He saw the life leave his eyes (three). But it turns out that Shaw lives on – in Charles’s head.
One, two, three, Erik has to go on a multiversal quest to find the one person who can undo what he’s done – if she’ll help him, that is. And chances are, she won’t. Not without a really, really good bribe.

Summary
Life has never been kind to Erik Lehnsherr.
That’s why he knows that the past five months, the five months he’s spent beside Charles, the happiest five months of his life, can’t last. That’s why he’s not surprised when they don’t.

In which the Mutant Registration Act passes and makes everyone’s life a living hell, Sharon Xavier waltzes back into Charles and Raven’s lives at the worst possible time, Erik can’t tell if he’s angry or just incredibly tired, Emma falls for a baseline (and is incredibly annoyed), Darwin is the most mentally stable, and pretty much everyone makes very stupid decisions at one point or another.

Summary
Charles Xavier is leading the school. Sure, Covid is taking hold and choking all of his hopes and dreams out of him, and sure he hasn't been sober in a month for even a moment, but he is running the school and he's doing a damn good job of it too.
Oh, and Erik is gone. But Charles doesn't need him. Erik's probably doing just fine without him.
And if Charles's grown-out hair and bottles of liquor were pushed in a closet, Charles would look fine also.And just maybe their friends could help them get past their melodrama and get back together before they start a world war.
( A continuation of Dear Reader, it's is required reading, you're gonna be lost without it. )

Without ever touching his skin, how can I be guilty as sin? by Mrs_Understood

Summary
Charles is a queer youth in 1930's catholic boy school. And no matter how hard he tries, he will never be good enough. Nothing can wash his sins away. Not when his sin is a part of his very soul. He tries time and again to be what they want. Tries to understand this book they call holy, tries to live by the rules...
but how can you live by the rules when they don't either? And what do you do when the lines they use to persecute you are twisted and scewed. And how can you ever confess your sins when your telepathy shows you, clear as day, how much the Father of your church hates who you love?
///a fic exploring religious trauma, homophobia, abuse, the queer community, and the belief that in spite of it all... it might actually get better.

Summary
Charles Xavier has spent the better part of a decade coughing up with marigolds. Seeing Erik again makes everything worse and better at the same time.
Erik wins. He smirks teasingly, his eyes glinting with that familiar spark from before Cuba. Charles wants to believe it. That this affection isn’t a tactic of some kind, or maybe Erik’s twisted way of saying thank you for rescuing him 9 years too late. It’s not real. Can’t be real.
Not after the way Erik looked at him before. The coldness in his gaze as he listed off every mutant Charles allowed to die, the congealed disgust growing more and more with every word. The harshness - No, whatever love Erik had for him before Cuba was long dead. Charles knew that.
He had known that for years, since the first marigold petal. He was just waiting for Erik to catch up. It shouldn’t be long now.
