He’s a genius billionaire philanthropist; he’s an ex-ish supervillain; together, they fight crime. Or commit crime. Maybe. Sometimes. Slightly.

Notes
It is a perpetual irritation to divines of the Bastard that it is not possible to blaspheme against him. He has already thought of all the rude things one might instruct him to do. He would cheerfully do them. He minces one’s oaths before one has got to them. He reduces one to the depths of decency. “For goodness sakes,” said Umegat, aggrieved, to the goat still nibbling at his glove.

"Ah," said Hamlet. It felt decidedly less stupid this time. "Well. I think that's a capital plan. And we'll start just as soon as I finish a Danish thing that I have to go do immediately."

Notes
He takes a swig from his glass and waits for the burn to pass before he picks up the ballpoint pen next to his arm—A pen! How quaint! Old people are so hilarious!—and goes back to sketching out a couple small improvements for Miriam’s still. Not many, though, because it really is a work of art, he has to give her that.

Summary
"This isn't a concentration camp," Delta says, calm, like he's been rehearsing it. Erik looks at the gun on his hip, the guards behind him in the corridor, the bars between them.
He smiles with a lot of teeth. "I think I'd know that better than you."
AU in which the beach divorce didn't happen and Erik decides to stay and help Charles start his school. But despite their clean break, the government isn't ready to let the mutants disappear into hiding.

Joanna blinks at him. "Sherlock," she says, "I think you just came dangerously close to having a political opinion."
Sherlock makes a scoffing noise, low in his throat, and waves his hand, as though to bat her words out of the air. "Certain crimes, however, are locks, for which I am the only key. I can stop a bad man from hurting others. I cannot stop human beings acting like human beings."
"And now you're getting philosophical," says Joanna, amused. "Are you feeling quite yourself? Was there something in the tea, do you think?"

Even if the thought of Tony Stark/Leonard McCoy fills you with terror and despair, read it anyway for McCoy's encounter with antique prophylactics.

Summary
After Magneto of an X2-ish future succeeds in the unthinkable, Charles sends his consciousness back to 1962 to guide Erik away from the path that will lead to the genocide of the human race forty years hence.
Charles knows that Erik has always loved him, and intends to use this knowledge + sex to seduce Erik away from his ideals in his youth.

Raven's reaching for her real gun almost before her eyes open. She finds Erik sitting in the armchair across from her, flipping a coin between his long fingers, his PASIV line already rewound back into the case. He shakes his head reprovingly at the weapon and pockets the coin. "None of that up here, my dear."

If you have read Polly and the Pirates this will make you gleeful in exactly the same way. If you haven't, this is easily remedied.
