    Summary

    The kid was a teenager, about fourteen or so at the most. His hair was silver, his eyes a dark brown. He wore a silver leather jacket over a black band tee and had goggles on his head, headphones looped around his neck. He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed over his chest, frowning. 

    “Uh, Logan, this is-”

    “Peter Lehnsherr,” Logan finished. His words made the kid look up at him in surprise. “You're Charles and-... you're Charles’ kid.”

    “Do I know you?” 

    “...No. No, we never got to meet but, well let's just say I've heard a lot about you from your dad.” 

    ---

    or... in an AU where Peter is Erik AND Charles' son, a lot changes and yet, nothing really changes at all.

    Summary

    “There was something on the news yesterday,” the professor spoke as Peter opened a large encyclopedia that was probably older than the house itself. “Denmark has become the first country in the world to recognise same-sex unions.”

    “We all saw that,” Peter told Charles, accepting the teacup handed to him. He didn't like tea but he didn't want to be rude, “it got everyone talking.”

    Something… hesitant flashed across the professor's face. His hand shook a little as he reached for his own teacup, in a way Peter hadn't seen since Charles was recovering from his ordeal in Cairo and was too weak to do much for himself for a while. But this seemed different. It seemed more out of… worry? Fear? 

    Why would the professor be afraid?

    aka, Charles has something very important he needs to ask his boyfriend's son in the wake of Denmark legalising same-sex unions

    Summary

    “Charles,” Moira said, “do you know where you are?”

    Charles’ eyes blinked open. He glanced around for a moment, seemingly taking in the faces of everyone around him. Then blue eyes met grey and…

    “I'm on a beach,” Charles said, his eyes wide as he stared up at Erik, lips turning upwards, “in Cuba.”

    An unsteady hand reached upwards, fingers trembling as Charles’ hand carefully came to rest against Erik's cheek. His thumb brushed away a single tear. 

    “With you. You're here.”

    My love.
