    Summary

    It was during the most arbitrary of times when Erik wondered how he had ever lived a life without Peter Maximoff. It was in the moments of brief silences, in the smallest upturn of lips, of soft chuckles. It was constant and never-ending. It was as if Erik was trying to make up for lost time in some sense—trying to take in everything he had missed all twenty-seven years of Peter’s life.

    Or: an introspection.

    Summary

    Charles was diagnosed with multiple sclerorsis 10 years ago. He has been in a wheelchair for a year. His condition is gradually deteriorating, so that he is slowly giving up hope. Since he doesn't want to be a burden on his sister, he decides to spend his last evening in Paris. He books a suite in an expensive hotel and wants to spend the evening alone with good food and whiskey when another guest plays extremely loud metal music. Charles rolls over to his neighbor to complain, only to find out that he also intends to kill himself. In order to give Erik's decision more time, he persuades him to go to a bar together for a last drink. From there they move around the city and find themselves in a wide variety of situations. And the longer the two spend the night together, the further away the thought of death moves ...

    Summary

    Erik brushes his fingers through Charles’s hair, humming an old Hebrew lullabye, because it’s the only comforting thing he knows how to do. Charles had only just started teaching him how to touch with loving intent, without wanting to hurt. “You can let go now, darling.”

    or: charles is going to die on the beach, unless erik can figure out a way to stop it.

    Summary

    "You must have noticed by now,” Jean says, posture rigid.

    Charles glances at her inquisitively before his gaze is inevitably pulled back towards Erik, who is standing with Peter on the balcony, engaged in private conversation.

    “That’s not him, Professor,” Jean says, voice strangely empty. “That’s not Erik.”

    Summary

    His heart was screaming at him, telling him that he couldn't save all those people. He couldn't save his precious Nina, he couldn't save his lovely wife. He couldn't save any of them- he didn't. He lost that chance. What remained of his family was dead. Everyone. 

    But he had the chance to save Peter.
