    Summary

    Before, Erik had always been able to hold onto the words You’re not alone, because he knew that with one mental stretch, Charles would be right there. Charles was always there, sliding into his mind as if it was where he belonged, a warm presence that Erik would sometimes wish he could allow himself to get lost in.

    Summary

    Erik is, quite honestly, in over his head here:  he’s blunt, and he’s been called aloof, and he doesn’t want much to do with most people; he’s never learned how to be careful with someone, and he has to be careful with Charles, no matter how little Charles wants it—not because he’s young, but because he’s Charles, and he is important.

    Erik has no idea what he’s doing here, and yet, for all that, he’s never been this happy.

    Summary

    Raven can safely say that when she met Erik in junior year, she didn’t expect she’d ever be having this conversation.

    Summary

    Raven is six years older than Charles; Charles has never really considered this age difference vitally important in one way or another, except to decide that even if Raven were six years younger than Charles, she would probably boss him around in the exact same way. He doesn’t really think much of the difference between fifteen and twenty-one, until Raven comes home from college for a study weekend with her new best friend in tow, introduces him cheerfully as Erik Lehnsherr, and Charles finds himself falling head-over-heels into a train wreck of doomed lust.
