Summary
Twelve-year old Merlin's life is not easy. Growing up in his abusive step-father Uther's house, as the bastard child that Ygraine bore her lover, he has learned from a young age to be inconspicuous. His only safety is Uther's ward, eighteen-year old Morgana. With her, Merlin shares his dreams of a fantasy world inhabited by dragons, knights and sorcerers.
When Morgana is thrown out of the house after a quarrel with Uther, Merlin has to transfer his allegiance to seventeen-year old Arthur, the brother he has never really trusted. Despite their initial animosity, Arthur becomes the source of Merlin's growing infatuation. When disaster strikes again, it is Merlin who has to become the strong one. In the aftermath, Merlin and Arthur grow much closer than what is proper for brothers.

Summary
Considering Arthur's future wife will be chosen less for compatibility than for her political value, Merlin may be the only marriage he'll have that won't end in bloodshed or a great deal of fortifying wine.

Summary
Written for the following prompt: Erik is an aggressive, dangerous, cynical mutant, hardened from years of being passed through private laboratories and used for experimentation. He's covered in surgical scars from operations, tattooed and bar coded like a lab rat, and blind from an experiment done on his eyes. ... Charles Xavier finds out about him. Charles runs a sort of sanctuary for mutants that provides lost, abandoned, abused, runaway mutants with shelter, comfort, and help with ability control. He thinks he can rehabilitate Erik and save him from execution, and convinces the government that he can.
When Erik arrives, he is a lot worse than Charles thought he would be ... Everyone else can see that Erik is a nuclear bomb waiting to go off, but Charles refuses to give up on him. ...
The first time Charles sneaks up on him wearing no metal, it triggers him and he reacts instinctively, with violence. ... Erik discovers why Charles understands him so well: he was once used in experiments as well, experiments run by his own family, and in one of them, he lost his voice, so he uses his telepathy to communicate.
Blind Erik, mute Charles, the love.

Summary
Things have never been quiet in the Xavier household, but they get entirely out of hand when the very eligible and very rich Mr. McCoy takes up residence in the estate next door. Charles, however, is quite certain that Mr. McCoy's German houseguest is the most dreadful man he's ever met. The trouble is, his sister has fallen entirely in love with Mr. Lehnsherr, and Charles is beginning to suspect that he has, too.

Summary
Written for the following prompt: Charles knows everything about Erik, knows how obsessive and self-destructive he is, how Erik would do anything, give anything, in his quest for vengeance against Shaw. But he also knows that Erik loves him in ways that aren't exactly platonic.
I'd like to see a completely straight!Charles, out of pure love and care of Erik, initiate a romantic relationship with him. It can be because he wishes to give Erik something positive in his life or because he thinks it might help change Erik's mind about Shaw, the reason is up to author. Also, while Charles finds intimacy with Erik strange and awkward, he does enjoy the new, non-romantic layers that have developed in their relationship.

Summary
Charles Xavier is sixteen years old the day his mother dies, leaving him parentless, temporarily penniless, and at the mercy of an inexplicable will. Shortly thereafter, his life takes a very drastic, entirely unexpected turn.
Sent to live with his estranged father -- a man named Erik Lehnsherr whom he's never met, and knows next to nothing about -- Charles soon finds himself completely out of his depth. What follows is a bitter, obsessive, destructive battle of wills that sends both Charles and Erik sliding dangerously into something neither of them are prepared for, and may not be able to stop.
As to whether they want to, that's another matter entirely.

The production of synthetic Cure means mutantkind itself is newly at risk.

Summary
“This is my friend Armando Muñoz,” Erik says instead. “Armando, this is Charles Xavier, I—” and he stops, because the rest of that sentence is I used to babysit him and saying that out loud suddenly seems really creepy.
"Underage" warned for because Charles is 16 and Erik, 23, is attracted to him, but it goes no further than that.
Inspired by Lynneh9's images of teen!Erik and wee!Charles, along with her adorable drawing Gotcha!
