Fic rec: X-Men: First Class

"Zweiundachtzig" by Dow | Charles/Erik | AU | Erik M. Lehnsherr is a private man, a jeweler looking for a studio to work in. But floorspace in New York is limited, so he ends up sharing a space with a beautiful mutant painter named Raven. | ~22.000 words

He spots a familiar shade of blue and decides to stop ‘wall-flowering’ as Raven calls it. She’s dressed in white, her natural form contrasting stunningly. She claims that she’s getting too old to pander to the media but Erik knows that the same night the press first snapped pictures of him with Charles they had also found out his sister was a mutant as well. It had been a debacle and Charles made tutting noises for months afterwards.

Great story. Unfortunately, it needs a thorough beta, so many things are misspelled that it irks a bit. On the other hand, the story is funny and engaging and I adore the accompanying art!

XMFC art and vid

Wonderful, wonderful art!

And a vid: Somewhere Only We Know. Beautiful. But after all the happy scenes, the painful ones hurt even more. When you realize just how much Charles has lost... ;_;
