Summary
For the prompt:
“Emperor Sebastian Shaw secretly orders the death of his General Erik Lehnsherr and his family, but Erik survives and is sold as a gladiator. He wants nothing more than revenge. Charles Xavier intends to use him to topple the emperor. He doesn’t intend to fall in love.”
General Erik Lehnsherr should have died when Emperor Shaw destroyed his family.
Instead, he survived long enough to be sold into the arena, where vengeance became the only thing keeping him upright.
Charles Xavier has spent two years quietly building a coup beneath Rome’s marble streets. When he finds Erik alive, he sees a weapon he can use - and a man he did not expect.
Erik wants to kill the emperor.
Charles wants to topple him.
Neither intends to fall into the dangerous gravity of the other.
A Roman political romance about loyalty, justice, bruised hope, and the unexpected places freedom begins. -

Summary
Charles and Erik are spending their first Hanukkah and Christmas living together… which would be lovely, if Charles weren’t trying to impress Erik’s terrifyingly competent German mother, Kitty weren’t causing latke-based structural damage, and Raven hadn’t brought along her van-life boyfriend.
But nothing nothing prepares Charles for Sharon’s Boxing Day party in Surrey: Kurt with his Very Strong Opinions, Cain and his podcast masculinity theories, the Coven of Surrey Women, unsolicited chest-touching, and a level of festive chaos that would test the strongest relationship.
Somehow, amid the glittered dreidels, the self-help monologues, and one unforgettable sound bath, Charles and Erik survive the holiday and even come out of it a little softer, a little closer, and very relieved to go home to leftover Chinese and their cats.
A seasonal Mind the Gap one-shot full of domestic sweetness, cultural carnage, and the worst party Surrey has ever seen

Summary
This fic was written for the following prompt:
November 1963: A nationwide manhunt is underway for the man suspected of killing the president. But said man manages to evade the feds in his roundabout route to North Salem, New York – where he knocks on the door of a former friend, who only hesitates for a moment before he lets him in.
Charles (who here is long before the decline depicted in DOFP and is preparing to open the school) is deeply hurt seeing Erik again: he won't leave him to be captured, but he doesn't really want him in his house, either. Erik is torn between gratitude for the protection, anger over (in his view) being dumped by Charles, and guilt over Charles's accident. (Note: Accident aside, would love if this isn't framed around Charles "forgiving" Erik for his views or actions on the beach, as often happens in reconciliation fics. :-/)
How do they find their way to some kind of understanding – and eventually, a true reunion?

Summary
It all started with a favour.
Not a regular favour, not like 'can I borrow a cup of sugar?'. Oh, no.
The kind of favour that fucks up your life.
And of course it was Charles.
Beautiful, oblivious, unattainable Charles.
How was Erik supposed to refuse?A cherik OnlyFans AU for Kinktober!

Summary
…
Erik wonders, then, hand flush against Charles’ spine between his shoulder blades, which of them has the wings, and who’s the sun.
Charles laughs, easily plucking the thought from his mind, “That’s easy, darling.”
He leans forward, presses a soft kiss to his forehead, and repeats the words that clung to his mind barely a week ago:
“ὄπταις ἄμμε, you burn me.”
…
(Or: In which Charles is a Professor with a penchant for quoting Sappho, and Erik is in need of his expertise to track down Schmidt.)
