Summary
Written for this X-Men: First Class Kink Meme prompt: Shaw knew that when you are weaponizing a human being, you must also program in failsafes that will protect you should the weaponization backfire. One of the results of his attempting to "program" failsafes into Erik is that following some massive act of disobedience (like trying to kill Shaw), the sight of food becomes abhorrent to him. He can drink water, but not nearly enough to fill his stomach without gagging. It's a harsher punishment than just denying him food, because when you deny someone food they can blame you for their suffering, but in this case he only has himself to blame. And when Shaw lifts the imperative blocking him from eating, he has to feel dependent on Shaw.
Over the years he manages to get over most of the conditioning, but attacking Shaw directly triggers it again. At first Charles thinks that Erik is just sort of weird and/or doesn't eat much, but he eventually realizes what's going on and tries to help Erik get over the "failsafe."
Slightly edited/cleaned up for posting posterity.
Also serves as my fill for hurt/comfort bingo, prompt "eating disorders."

As the narrator would say: "A bard might, perhaps, give you a prettier, more satisfying story. But I, I will tell you what truly happened to Belle and her Beast. If you're sure it's truth that you'd prefer."

Bookmarker's Notes
Amazingly in character fic that deals with Gus's neatness and Shawn's whackiness, and how the two things colliding will probably derail Gus's attempts to get his Early Uploader Gold Star for the Yuletide challenge.
There is some mild Gus/Shawn but even if you don't ship them, it happens right at the end and doesn't impact on the rest of the story.
Highlights include Shawn being described as having the the attention span of a crack-addled Shiba Inu puppy, and Gus's "Shawn, stop anthropomorphizing my office supplies". -
