A/N: Here's my opinion on the Oxford comma debate: Of course we need it. It solves all sorts of terrible ambiguity problems. But more importantly: if you get rid of it, then I've been teaching punctuation wrong for 7 years. You guys, we can't let this come to pass. I do not teach punctuation wrong. Punctuation is my thing. DDDD:

Title: The Art of Misdirection
Pairing: Charles/Erik
Word Count: 2,121
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Written for the 1stclass_kink  prompt: Erik discovering the best way to surprise a telepath is to think about what he's going to do AFTER he's licked Charles out, and let the licking out part slip his mind. ;)
Warnings: rimming
A/N: If you guys haven't seen it already, go check out the new modpost at oldfriends . The other comods and I have been working hard getting the tags set up, redesigning stuff, making banners, &c. So go take a look!

Title: Dogs of War
Pairing: Charles/Erik
Word Count: 1,490
Rating: PG-13
Summary: During their bromance tour, Charles and Erik visit the house of a young mutant. Unfortunately there is something in the house that scares Erik more than Shaw ever could.
Warnings: References to Erik's time in the concentration camp/torture
A/N: I am relentlessly spamming you guys with X-Men fic. I'm sorry. :{ But bah, I'm writing bunches because these fucking stitches means I can't do much else, and the X-Men boys have invaded my brain. Also: how was there next to no smoking in this movie? It was the 60s, damn it. You can't tell me Charles, as an academic, didn't smoke, or that Erik, as a bad-ass rebel, didn't smoke. Come on.

 

 

( His muscles felt liquefied, his limbs like overcooked sauerkraut. )


Side note: okay, Charles/Erik shippers: Which comm are we using? Because I'm now UTTERLY CONFUSED. There are three Charles/Eric specific comms out there (to my knowledge), to not even get into the innumerable X-Men comms in existence. So are we going with oldfriends : the old standby with low moderation but also low organization, or cxe_firstclass or erik_charles , which honestly seem to have little difference between them except erik_charles  has more reclists currently posted and cxe_firstclass  has more original fiction posted. I don't even know anymore, you guys. Seriously, someone needs to make a decision for all of us and then tell me, because I'm just confused as hell as where to put my shit. 


Come on, guys: this is LJ, not tumblr. Let's be organized. 

(Ahhhh the tumblr fans are now going to attack me! No, tumblr is cool for fangirling and .gifs and stuff, but I can't get in my blimp and join a blogosphere that is so terribly unorganized. And crediting ethics always seems like they're freaking loosey-goosey over there, so nyrgk.)

 

Title: The Devolution of Philosophical Conversations
Pairing: Charles Xavier/Erik Lensherr
Word Count: 1,078
Rating: PG-13
Summary: As a response to this prompt on the 1stclass_kink :During one of their late-night philosophical discussion sessions, after a glass or two of scotch, Charles inadvertently finds himself using part of his university-bar pickup speech on Erik. Erik calls him on it.
Warnings: none
A/N: Because if anyone on this earth is an expert at drunken university-bar pick up speeches, it's me.

 

( If you fall asleep again I'm changing the board. )

 

Bonus:

No one is allowed to steal this pick-up line, but this is the one I use, tailored for my field:

Me: “So have you heard about string theory? One implication of it is that if you run at a wall a million and one times, one of those times your atoms and the wall's atoms will line up just right so that you'll pass right through it.” *points at guys chair* “So is this seat taken?” *sits in guy's lap* “Huh, didn't work that time. Why don't I try it a million more times?” LAPDANCE.

Yes. This is what you get when you're going for a PhD in Philosophy of Mathematics. ME. ENJOY IT, BOYS!
