"Little Birds" by winterhill | AU | Charles/Erik | Bird AU. Erik is a lone kestrel on a mission to destroy the great golden eagle who killed his mother. Charles is an abandoned pet dove with no fear and a dream of making a place where the little birds can fly free. They don’t quite want the same thing, but together they’ll change the world. | ~36.000 words

“You’re a dove,” said Erik.

“Yes,” said Charles.

“I’m a falcon.”

“Yes,” said Charles, again.

“Forget it,” said Erik, spreading his wings into the dusk. “It’ll never work.”

Aww... Just, aww... This is seriously sweet. Charles is such a fierce dove! And Erik builds him a nest!
