Wow, I was floored by this fic. Amazing doesn't even begin to cover how good it is *nods* Smitten, I'm smitten, peeps.
On Day 7 Erik suggests—orders, asks, begs—Charles to stay in the jet, no matter what happens. He fashions metal restraints from the plane's inner workings, meaning to ensure compliance. What he ensures is that when one of Moira's bullets takes a truly wild ricochet, Charles cannot get out of the way. It's Erik who finds his body, and in the moment just before he startles awake, he finds he cannot breathe.
