Homefront | sam_storyteller | 12,862 words
The problem is it's very hard to tell when a superhero is recklessly endangering himself versus when he's accepting the very real dangers of the job. Tony, who is the embodiment of reckless on a good day, doesn't know if Captain America is throwing himself into his work because it's his work, or because secretly he wishes he were dead.

It scares him. And the fact that it scares him also scares him. Tony is used to being a shallow jerk; he's very good at it. Caring about Steve to the point that he worries if the guy goes off his own personal radar for more than an hour is seriously fucking with him.

erik_charles: On the Vagaries of Mutation
Long story short, I hope a few kind souls in this community might answer my questions about existing canon, specifically how certain mutations work. I'd like to continue my thus far successful tactic of focusing on the movies and merrily ignoring the comics, but I find I really can't until I satisfy my curiosity on this subject.

The Nine Lives of Tony Stark | suaine | 899 words
There is a pattern. At twelve he surrounds himself with engine parts and tries not to think about the empty spaces. Fourteen and it's the first time he hears about molecular engineering, nanotech and how to bend the laws of physics as he knows them. He meets Rhodey and booze and the three become the kind of friends that don't need explanation.

Pepper and Steve totally ignore Tony as the agree on what to do with him. It's decided that the next day they'll pack up whatever crap Tony wants to bring with him (mostly research that will be carefully vetted before leaving the tower), and he and Pepper will move back into his Park Avenue house; Steve promises to visit a couple of days later. The way they're talking about it, it sounds like it's sort of a permanent thing. Tony decides that he doesn't want to be disabused of that idea, and lets them hash out the details as if he wasn't there.

"He doesn't know what to do about you. You might just have to let him buy you things for a while before he figures out that he doesn't have to try to buy your affections."

There's a brief "P." above a formal signature reading "Virginia Potts, CEO Stark Industries" above lines of incomprehensible ways to contact her.

Tears Will Be Mandatory For This Event | valtyr | 998 words
"Blah blah civil rights liberty Nazis," Steve said, more or less, in a very serious voice. Tony yawned and pressed closer to his side. He'd had been taking call after call from various news organisations who were probably hoping for outraged comments about the sanctity of marriage and the general depravity of the modern age. Steve had the glitter in his eye that suggested he was enjoying disappointing scandal hunters, and Tony had tuned out the stream of platitudes an hour ago in favour of channel-surfing for reactions. Some sort of religious fundamentalist was predicting the downfall of society on Fox; Steve's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Blah blah *justice for all* God is love. Hitler." he said - or something like that - and slammed the phone shut. "Turn that off. Or over. Go back to the channel with all the dancing and cheering."

He can see the line of Steve's bare back, the breath that pushes into his body, too fast, uneven, and he wonders what Steve sees when he looks at the wall.

"What year is it?" Steve asks.

"Twenty-twelve," Tony replies, and he sits up slowly, lets the sheets slide loose, doesn't touch. He remembers this – how he felt sure he would shatter. There are grey spaces, empty time where he thinks perhaps he did.

deepsix: should I make an Avengers tag? is that giving in? does it matter?
I don't have a problem with opportunism. What I have a problem with is that we are asked to root for him as an agent of justice despite the fact that he is clearly impulsive, compulsive, and deeply narcissistic to the extent that he does not see how privileged he really is. The movies establish him as someone who does what he wants, when he wants, and because he wants to do it; and that the reason he does what he does is that he is so completely lacking in self esteem that merely doing these things makes him feel better, without any thought to the greater ramifications thereof.

"What happened to him before?" Steve interrupts. There's a growing feeling of unease in his stomach, and worse, he recognizes it. Ever since he walked away from Tony he's mentally been cataloging the way Tony hunched around his injured shoulder, favoring his arm, and the unsteadiness in his hands, and the way he swallowed like there was some sort of sour taste lingering in his mouth. He recognizes the symptoms—not precisely, but close enough.

“It’s like living with a bunch of drunk, stoned, super powered, genius toddlers with ADHA,” Coulsen moaned, staring out the window as Thor, Banshee and Havok crouched behind a bush, stalking a duck on the other side (clearly, ducks had joined squirrels on their list of enemies). Acrid black smoke was billowing out of one of the labs where Hank and Bruce were working. Tony and Steve were sitting on the lawn (Fury had wondered about the picnic basket he’d seen Xavier pass Starke earlier), nibbling on bread, cheese and fruit, while Xavier and Lehnsherr were off somewhere, “playing chess”.

Everyone knew what that was code for.

There's an explosion in the lab and Charles and Erik discover they have developed secondary mutations. These mutations, however, are not necessarily the gifts that their first one's were. Given sudden new limitations, Erik is driven to extraordinary, terrible lengths to try to resolve it.

Thursdays Are Like That | nightwalker | 4,172 words
Tony dragged his eyes off Thor's chest. Stupid sex spores, he thought, and stupid air filters in the armor. He was completely unaffected – well, unaffected by the spores, Thor was definitely starting to affect him, as was the sight of Steve's naked chest streaked with golden dust and the sounds Spiderwoman was making somewhere to his left. He was going to have to bow out of an orgy of beautiful, flexible people, at least two of whom he'd been fantasizing about for years. Life was not fair sometimes.

It takes a heap o' livin' | Etharei | 15,149 words
Erik is still not sure how he’s ended up where he is: working a regular eight to five desk job, reluctant guardian to a handful of teenagers, and getting to have regular sex with one of the best men he’s ever known, who also happens to be a wealthy, bashfully genius telepath. Oh, and he gets to use his power in creative and satisfyingly destructive ways, and also gets to play with technology that even the military doesn’t have. It’s unbelievable and ridiculous and frustrating all at once, because it’s like a heap of good things have suddenly landed on Erik’s lap, unlooked-for, and a part of him can’t shake the feeling that it’s all been a mistake, somehow, that one day the person for whom all this good fortune had been meant is going to barge in and take it all back.

The Idea | goldfishsama | 2,873 words
He had always loved Tony and Steve. They embodied traits he had always admired, and knew he would never master himself. Tony with his charisma, confidence, and brilliance. Steve with his charisma, confidence, and nobility. Even when they stumbled, dragging Peter’s world down with them, he had loved them. It wasn’t until the second time he shared a bed that he fell in love with them.

I ♥ NY (It’s My Friends I’m Not Sure Of) | oddegg | WIP
The oddest set of expressions chased across Charles’ face in quick succession: bright happiness when he first noticed Erik, which then changed to an almost guilty look, and then – looking nervous and strangely regretful – he said “Erik! Yes, I do remember you.” He gazed resolutely into Erik’s eyes. “I remember you and you seemed a, a very pleasant man. And, and I think you’re probably very magnetic and used to getting your own way but my sister explained who you are and what your reputation’s like and I have to tell you up front that I – I…” he took a deep breath and finished in a rush “I’m deeply sorry but I can’t go out with you if it’s a, a romantic encounter you’re after, especially a momentary one.” He bit his lip and then added in a miserable small voice “…I’m kind of off the market for those at the moment.”

Synthesis and Transcription | frantic | 2,379 words
He went to Charles's room late, when he had persuaded himself three times and dissuaded himself twice. Charles sat in his bed reading, looking every inch the lord of the manor. They said nothing as Erik crossed the room to the four-post bed, skimming his hand over the silk spread that covered Charles's legs and then the thin shirt that covered his torso and arms. Erik sat on the bed in the cove formed by Charles's body, hand over his heart. He knew Charles had been expecting him, but he looked brightly desperate anyway, eyes wide. Erik's hand shook as his thumb found one of Charles's nipples and brushed against it, and Charles parted his lips around a hard breath, hands clenching in the spread. No, Erik thought, he couldn't surprise Charles, but he could upend him anyway.

In Escrow | manic_intent | 35,294 words
Within the mansion, in wolf form, he couldn't even read a book without a lot of careful page-turning and/or Erik's help, he couldn't proceed with any of his genetics research in the lab he had set up in the east wing, hell, Charles couldn't even talk. Depressed, bored and silenced, at once both fascinated and vaguely repulsed at the idea of the life growing within him, Charles took to lying listlessly around the house or in the garden and trying not to look too closely at whatever the housekeepers were feeding him, and if Erik occasionally shot him worried looks, this was all his fault, anyway. And then, close to the end of the first month, the house was abruptly (in Erik's later words), infested by Arctus.

For all the things you try—most of which you like, few of which unsettle you—what you love most is when he takes control and rides you. "So vanilla," he teases without rancor, one lazy morning when you wake him with soft kisses, before you roll over and pull him on top of you. You thrust upwards pointedly, your erection pressing into his cleft. "I'll never know why this is your favorite, Cap."

From the waters and the wild | linaerys | 1,845 words
The room has metal walls, painted white. Charles finds himself shivering uncontrollably suddenly, his body fighting his mind for control. Erik wears neoprene, which kept him warm in the water, but Charles has on cotton under his wool coat, conducting cold to his limbs. Making his lips blue. He knows because Erik suddenly looks at them, and Charles has no boundaries here, right now, not after he’s opened so much to Erik. It is amazing to him that Erik can’t read his mind in return, that the sharing did not somehow go both ways. Amazing, and lonely.

"I slept well at first," said Erik, "but I was plagued by the strangest dreams for most of the night." "Oh?" said Charles over the top of his drink. "Do you recall them?" Erik looked at him for a moment, inscrutable, and then gestured at his temple. Charles took the suggestion and reached out for Erik's mind, looking for images pushed to the front of his thoughts. Easier than relating them aloud, anyway. He had to put his drink down on the bar when he was accosted by flashes of skin and heat. Erik's dreams had been sexual. He cleared his throat awkwardly and attempted to disengage, but Erik pushed the images at him. "What's more," said Erik lightly, "I'm almost certain they weren't my dreams."

I've Seen the Future, Brother, It Is Murder | feverbeats | 1,009 words
There is a moment when Erik allows himself to trust Charles. But that is in bed and Charles' skin is warm and a moment of distraction hardly counts. The instinct to do anything Charles wants, anything, is brief and quickly destroyed in the great ringing inferno of Erik's mind. After all, perhaps the instinct didn't even come from him. He has other instincts that tell him never to trust again, not after so many betrayals, so very many scars. He's not young enough to afford himself the luxury of trust anymore. He doesn't imagine Charles will ever stop being young.

Erik's presence intensifies a great deal long before Charles can actually see him, sitting at a stone table with the chess pieces already nearly arrayed in their proper places. Its more than the nominal awareness of an unshielded mind. It's practically deliberate projection bursting forth from Erik. It makes Charles' heart beat faster.
