Anarchy in The U.K. by Yahtzee
“Good God,Erik thought.The Prince of Wales is gay.”
Charles lives in the unceasing glare of the public spotlight, yet keeps his sexual orientation a closely held secret, afraid he could lose his throne and force his deeply troubled younger sister into a role that would crush her. Erik, journalist and world traveler, has been a loner most of his life; he has little patience for closet cases. But a chance meeting in Kenya brings these two opposites together and sets in motion a love affair that will challenge the British monarchy — and force them both to change forever.

Beloved of Ravens by khaleesian
The door opened and closed. So many times Erik heard that sound and wished himself anywhere but here, anywhere, far away. Nothing was worse than the door opening, when Schmidt came to take him out for the experiments, when Schmidt came into his room… when he came in.
But these soft footsteps didn’t belong to Schmidt. Erik looked up.
The door stood slightly open. The door was open, light streaming in.
The figure standing over Erik paused, and knelt before him. It had been so long since Erik saw anyone but Schmidt, he could only stare.
The boy in front of him looked to be the same age as Erik, but it was as if he came from some other world. Where Erik was gawky and graceless, a starved weak shell for the power burning inside him, this boy looked like an angel, pale as a plaster statue with blue, blue eyes, wavy brown hair, gently rounded features, a smiling red mouth.
“I heard you calling,” he said. “I’m here.”
Oh my god, both adorable and creepy. I have the feeling Charles isn’t quite the sweet-faced little boy he says he is.

What happens in the cave… stays in the cave. >:)
When I was playing around with the Cavemen!AU idea (I also called it pre-historic!Frontseat, because of Taha’s original Anon suggestion) I couldn’t resist drawing a “serious” scene of caveman!Charles warming caveman!Erik because of reasons.
Also, blue tattoos for Charles, and Erik’s look taken from Takhesiz’s fanart.
fanfiction that deserves a movie (in no particular order, 1/?) » carpe brewski by gyzym
Hangover rules so this never fucking happens again, by Charles and Erik who both want to die
16. seriously we are never drinking again i hate everything
It seems so easy to imagine: Charles as an incredibly popular, charismatic and a little bit naive politician and Erik, who’s either his VP pick or his spokesman/bodyguard/husband. Or the other way round: Erik as the candidate, incredibly smart and talented guy who has problems with being seen as “too harsh”, “too emotionless” for his voters but who also is blessed/cursed with having a spokesman who’s INCREDIBLY likeable, who can outtalk anyone and who is (more or less secretely) in love with his boss…
So, dear followers…
VOTE FOR LEHNSHERR/XAVIER! :)
Ehm, probably not exactly what you’re looking for, but there is the extremely, extremely wonderful “Word Forward” by afrocurl! It’s essentially Erik running for President (in a world where there are mutants, who are often discriminated against), and Charles who is a newspaper reporter. Here’s the summary:
Impassioned Mutant Rights Advocate Erik Lehnsherr will not stand to watch William Stryker Jr ruin the United States as President. Little does Erik know that as he runs for President, he’ll meet a newspaper reporter who will change his focus and desire.
It was written as a part of the X-Men Big Bang (round 2)! The art - which is PHENOMENAL - is here, which is essentially a fully functional campaign site for Lehnsherr 2012. Both the art and the fic itself are some of the best out there, and I highly recommend them!
” […] and make you forget every single word you know except my name.”
Based on the fic “Good Boys” by Zamwessell
Just another version of this… I didn’t like it very much because it was an odd design and too dark. Actually this version is closer to my original idea.
Hope you like! :)
Warnings for underage/non-con in the extract to be on the safe side
Unbound
Bound and Determined AO3 collection
Heed the warnings in the AO3 tags.Note: It wasn’t until the second cover was nearly finished that I realised Bound and Determined was the name of the whole verse and not the fic, so it got converted into a collection instead. Not exactly elegant, but better than tossing the whole design out. I confess the bulk of my knowledge of these fics comes from the first few chapters of Unbound and some meta posts, so these could be way off the mark.
As for the sample spread, hey, who am I to pass up a chance to run a deliberate river through the middle of a page? Setting an entire book like that would likely drive the reader stark raving mad though.
Special thanks to thoseweirdthings and uglystories for the Atonement screenshot.
Fassbender photo belongs to Peter Hapak, only the butchering is mine.
Erik gets turned into a doberman.
So cute so cute so cute I love how Erik is constantly having internal battles between his mutant logic and dog instinct! Just, so adorable and cute and fluffy and funny!
