Don't Try This At Home (X-Men, Erik/Charles)

I like to think of this as the story in which Charles incepts Erik into a supervillain.

Fandom: X-Men First Class (X-Men Movieverse)
Characters & Pairings: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 5000
Summary: You can't make me love you, Erik thinks, except Charles probably could.
Warnings—oh god this fandom—for dubious consent, mind control, and the holocaust. Additional warnings for sex, telepathy, manpain, miscommunication, learning the wrong life lessons, characters being assholes, and institutional misogyny. After I write the thematic sequel to this story (spoilers: fucking machines), I am going to write some kink-positive femslash to CLEANSE MY SOUL.

For feverbeats, and the emotion play square on my kink_bingo card. Thanks to feverbeats for the impetus and aria, epershand, starlady, and everybody I flailed at on chat or in email for cheerleading, hand-holding, and beta-reading.
