Summary
Written for the following prompt: Erik dies, or finds a reversey-time mutant, or a magical time travelling device, and wakes up in the past. This time, though, it's before he ever met Charles - in fact, it's before his mother died.
He can save his mother that one time (thanks to his mastery over powers carrying back), but what does Erik do after that? Does he stick around, or escape and run to find Charles again (and hope everything doesn't go wrong)?
Sort of a bookend to my story "Undone," though they are totally independent stories.

Bookmark Notes:
There’s a lot of pain in this story. Well, of course, anything dealing with Magneto is going to have a lot of pain, a lot of anger, and a lot of bad decisions. So, in a way, this fic is taking the hard route—trying to write a Magneto who has all that passion, but without his key characteristics.
And it is amazing. When you reach the end, and understand how much he’s changed himself, it’s just perfect. I think there’s a danger of being too maudlin with fix-it fics. Even the term itself—“fix-it.” Change what’s broken, make it better. This fic takes the route, not of just making everything better, but making it different. There’s still pain in this story—but different pain. Whether or not you agree that it’s better is up to the reader.

Amazing- I've read it multiple times and I've never grown tired of it.
