    Summary

    The hunt for international war criminals has led Erik Lehnsherr all over the world and then some, and it's gotten to the point where it's become his life. What is he to do when his list of names leads him to Japan, a culture he knows less than absolutely nothing about? Luckily he's not entirely been left to fend for himself in a strange country where the people speak a strange language and follow strange customs. Luckily he's been handed a key - except that this key is a person, and this person is carrying around even more secrets than Erik can guess.

    Summary

    Erik Lehnsherr hunts the things that go bump in the night.

    He’s done so since he was a child, since the first time his mother put a knife in his hand and told him how to use it, told him why he should.

    But ten years alone on the road has caught up to him, left him wrung out and longing for a place to rest, recharge, get his head back on straight. Though nowhere has ever truly felt like home, he heads straight for New York City, a place that’s always had more to offer him by way of warmth and comfort than any other. What he finds when he gets there, however, is several miles south of anything approaching restful. Old acquaintances, old memories, and a mysterious stranger who has him forgetting all his rules — Erik soon realizes there are decisions he needs to make, before circumstances intervene and make them for him. Otherwise, he might not like the result.

    Summary

    Charles Francis Xavier was an ex-foster kid, a man who believed in second chances. He became a social worker in order to help those who could not help themselves. He was happy, life was good. Well, to the best of his capabilities.

    Erik Lehnsherr was the CEO of a company that he had built with his own blood, sweat and tears. He never really needed love, and had no desire to ever fall in love.

    They meet on a rainy night after a mugging gone wrong. Love tends to sweep you off your feet, then bitch slap you when you least expect it

    PROMPT REQUESTED: Abused as a child, Charles Xavier runs away from home and lives on and off the streets until he is taken in by a caseworker: Moira at a safe house. Charles grows up to become a caseworker himself, supervising his own adopted family of ragtag children. Somehow, Charles saves the life of one Erik Lehnsherr. Erik tries to offer him a reward, but Charles refuses. He's wary of Erik's motives, besides, he would have done the same for anyone simply because it was the right thing to do. Intrigued by and immediately smitten with the beautiful young man, Erik proceeds to woo Charles, and in the process becomes a better man by using his influence/money for good.

    Summary

    We do not breach the void, his mother said, when he was a boy and new to such things.

    We do not breach the void, the Elders said, when he was an adolescent, weak though he thought himself strong.

    We do not breach the void, his father said, when he reached the flush of manhood, stout and brave and unafraid.

    But Erik cares not for their words. He's spent a lifetime staring into the void, into the startlingly blue eyes of the boy on the other side.

    We do not breach the void, the songs whisper, but Erik doesn't listen.

    Summary

    With no recollection of why he has ordered the Brotherhood to go deep into Russia during the winter months, Magneto is considered insane by his followers, but the unexplained presence of Charles Xavier leads Erik to think that there is something more than madness to his amnesia and to the haunting but impossible memory of a kiss in the snow...

    Summary

    The best part about Charles' favorite bakery isn't the location, and it isn't the lovely smell, or even the Earl Grey cupcakes. It's the Baker.

    Erik Lehnsherr is a beautiful specimen of a man, particularly when his fussing over Charles takes the form of pastry.

    Such a pity Charles doesn't know Erik is an assassin.

    He's about to be proven wrong. And as it turns out, Magnetos are rare for a reason....

    Summary

    It's hard not to get swept away by Charles' enthusiasm. The idea of finding others like him--of belonging--is seductive, but it is the thought of spending his life at this man's side that decides it. Crane or man, Erik cannot help but fall into Charles' orbit.

    An alternate meeting loosely based on the Japanese folktale, The Crane Wife.

    Summary

    Out in the black of space, where the only creatures whose company you can always count on are violence and death, making a living is a wager. Erik’s crew of mismatched social misfits scrapes by, toeing the line between law and crime. Normally, they prefer to stay out of the Alliance’s way, but when it comes to defending the very freedom they fought for a decade ago, they only follow one principle: when someone tries to kill you, you kill them right back.

    Summary

    Magneto dies on a Wednesday afternoon. He's come to terms with what he's been and what he's done, but as he follows his guide through the underworld towards his final destination, he's forced to confront the figures of his past and answer the question they all have for him: if he could do it all again, would he do things differently? And even if he would, does he have it in him to trust Charles Xavier enough to get the second chance he's being offered?
