(ALSO, tw_holidays continues to post new stories every day! There have been some really excellent fics posted so far, and there are more coming up soon!)

So secret_mutant reveals went up! rakehell_leader is the person responsible for the ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY WONDERFUL fic I received (which I linked to in this entry a few days ago, oh my god). I couldn't be happier or more grateful - it's truly a lovely piece, and it still makes my heart go all achy. <333

Uh, I ended up writing four stories altogether, three of which have been reposted at hardlyabird and AO3.

Lover, Come Hover for chiasmus, set in a non-powered modern AU - in which Charles is nervous about meeting Erik's old law school friends and needs some reassurance.

There's a Hope for big_banggang, where I just sort of ignored Cuba and made Erik and Charles have a snowball fight and then share a scarf.

It's Only Xenobiology, Darling for averzierlia, who wanted human!Erik encountering worstVulcanever!Charles.

I also wrote In the Night Life for nakedfiction, which is a fusion with the Parasol Protectorate series. I haven't reposted it anywhere for the very specific reason of it's not actually finished. Like, it stands on its own, no worries there! But there is SO MUCH MORE to be added to it. I've actually written another thousand or so words that just didn't make it to this version, mostly about bb!Charles playing chess with Professor Lyall, which I thought would confuse the fuck out of people if they haven't read the books already. So those scenes were cut for the exchange's purposes. The full story will appear in the future. Nebulous future, mind, but...yeah. *hand wave*

I just want to thank and give coffee and chocolate to pocky_slash for running the whole thing. She is the queen of all things mutant-related, got it? And you should all give her virtual hugs immediately. YOU'RE THE BEST, KAIT. <333

And now I'm gonna go read some of the comics I picked up earlier. \o/

So, in my head, Charles Xavier is super bad at games that aren't chess. Maybe checkers is okay, but he just really sucks at card and board games. And then I decided that they'd have game tournaments with really high stakes (like, cookies and candy) while they were cooped up in the mansion on rainy days.

( So have ~500 words of, uh, that. )
