Summary
For the prompt:
“Emperor Sebastian Shaw secretly orders the death of his General Erik Lehnsherr and his family, but Erik survives and is sold as a gladiator. He wants nothing more than revenge. Charles Xavier intends to use him to topple the emperor. He doesn’t intend to fall in love.”
General Erik Lehnsherr should have died when Emperor Shaw destroyed his family.
Instead, he survived long enough to be sold into the arena, where vengeance became the only thing keeping him upright.
Charles Xavier has spent two years quietly building a coup beneath Rome’s marble streets. When he finds Erik alive, he sees a weapon he can use - and a man he did not expect.
Erik wants to kill the emperor.
Charles wants to topple him.
Neither intends to fall into the dangerous gravity of the other.
A Roman political romance about loyalty, justice, bruised hope, and the unexpected places freedom begins. -

Summary
Charles and Erik are spending their first Hanukkah and Christmas living together… which would be lovely, if Charles weren’t trying to impress Erik’s terrifyingly competent German mother, Kitty weren’t causing latke-based structural damage, and Raven hadn’t brought along her van-life boyfriend.
But nothing nothing prepares Charles for Sharon’s Boxing Day party in Surrey: Kurt with his Very Strong Opinions, Cain and his podcast masculinity theories, the Coven of Surrey Women, unsolicited chest-touching, and a level of festive chaos that would test the strongest relationship.
Somehow, amid the glittered dreidels, the self-help monologues, and one unforgettable sound bath, Charles and Erik survive the holiday and even come out of it a little softer, a little closer, and very relieved to go home to leftover Chinese and their cats.
A seasonal Mind the Gap one-shot full of domestic sweetness, cultural carnage, and the worst party Surrey has ever seen

Summary
This fic was written for the following prompt:
November 1963: A nationwide manhunt is underway for the man suspected of killing the president. But said man manages to evade the feds in his roundabout route to North Salem, New York – where he knocks on the door of a former friend, who only hesitates for a moment before he lets him in.
Charles (who here is long before the decline depicted in DOFP and is preparing to open the school) is deeply hurt seeing Erik again: he won't leave him to be captured, but he doesn't really want him in his house, either. Erik is torn between gratitude for the protection, anger over (in his view) being dumped by Charles, and guilt over Charles's accident. (Note: Accident aside, would love if this isn't framed around Charles "forgiving" Erik for his views or actions on the beach, as often happens in reconciliation fics. :-/)
How do they find their way to some kind of understanding – and eventually, a true reunion? -

Summary
Charles has just wrapped up a two-year grant project and a well-earned promotion, and treats himself to a week of sun, books, and blissful solitude.
Then Moira and Sean announce their engagement, Raven decides Charles “needs a little nudge,” and suddenly Erik is on a plane, the resort staff are alarmingly invested, and there’s a faint but undeniable scent of chaos in the air.
A Mind the Gap story about sun, miscommunication, and the logistical nightmare of trying to relax.

Summary
When Charles Xavier moves to London and buys a house with his boyfriend Warren, he thinks his life is finally coming together in a way that everyone, including himself, has always expected. Erik Lehnsherr, on the other hand, is struggling to keep his life together after his recent divorce, now having to raise his three-year-old by himself. Neither is prepared to meet at work or, in fact, ever again: they have met before, now nearly ten years ago, when they conducted a passionate love affair that was over before it even began. Yet their attraction is still undeniable, and as Erik asks Charles out for a drink, Charles somehow forgets to mention that he's already seeing someone.

“Just one night, no fear, no shame, no blame or rage. Just serenity. Just us. Just one night to acknowledge that there is more here and then we go our separate ways and you go back to being angry and hating me.”
