Summary
This defense mechanism is a recently adopted habit of his. Nothing about Erik lately has given him any indication that he wouldn’t be open for a conversation. In fact, it’s shocking how open Erik has been. He expected something different… He’s not even sure what. Perhaps a few awkward first steps between them, considering how little they have talked to each other lately. Not for lack of trying, no, but simply… Charles had been too busy. Erik was presumed dead, and before, he had been ruling a nation. How could they even begin to talk?

Summary
Erik Lehnsherr never minded playing black in chess when Charles Xavier sat on the other side of the board.
This time, Charles is not sitting at the board at all. This time, he is standing next to the table, watching as Erik is forced to play black by world governments and media manipulation.
This time, Erik minds very much.
And he will most certainly NOT tell Charles.
Perhaps he is righteously angry, perhaps he is longing for something he can no longer have.
Perhaps it was the illusion of choice all along.

Summary
Casablanca-ish AU.
Charles Xavier meets Erik Lehnsherr in Paris, 1937. They spend the next two years with one another, stupid in-love, until war comes heavy in September 1939. Erik leaves for Poland and the Resistance movement there, promising to return. Charles is left in Paris, where Nazi jackboots march in, Summer of 1940. He becomes a member of the underground French Resistance, publishing illegal newsletters, leaflets, until news comes through in February 1942: Erik is dead. Charles throws himself into more dangerous work, meeting with Communists, helping derail a German train, and he does too much, goes too far. His friends find him safe passage out of France, out across the Mediterranean, to Morocco, Casablanca. It is here he finds Erik, alive.
