Short tales of a telepathic professor and a metal manipulating murderer who happen to be in love.

Charles is unhappy with his life, one day he decides to replace his incomplete chess set and meets Erik. Erik has been miserable from a young age and has found hope in his and Charles' friendship. Together the pair of them play a lot of chess and learn that they're not the only people with unbelievable gifts like the ones they have.

We all get addicted to something that takes away the pain.

The X-Games, the televised procession in which twenty-four mutants must fight to the death, until one lone victor stands, proving they have the more superior power. Twenty-four go in, only one comes out. [The Hunger Games/X-Men: First Class crossover/AU]

The scene in X men first class where Charles and Erik train.....and....... ^^

Cherik AU He looks down at the injured body of his only real friend; his obesession. Maybe he is right. Maybe they do want different things. But, Erik wants Charles and will not rest until he has him. He figures it's only fair that he tells him so: "I'm coming back for you. I'm not giving up until you are by my side. I'm coming back and you will come with me. Whether you like it or not."

He doesn't go himself at first, but when the news comes back around that Charles (his Charles) is . . . crippled (by Erik no less) things get a little out of hand.

When Charles joins the Hellfire Ballet Group to replace one of their lead dancers, he gets paired with the irresistible Erik Lehnsherr. But Erik is rude and critical, and nothing Charles does seems to please him.
