CHARLES XAVIER SPRAWLING IN HIS THRONE
Dare we hope for a touch of angry dark Charles? PLEASE.
I want dark, angry, pissed off Charles.
It’s a stare-down. Even Darwin can’t predict who’s going to win this one. Erik has all those years of anger built up in him like a wall, but Charles has his pain, too, more of it than Erik’s probably even let himself consider.
If it weren’t for that damn helmet of Erik’s… but that helmet’s still there, solid, a weight that bears down heavy on all of them. Darwin could probably snatch it off him, could make them talk to each other instead of staring past what’s real and shoring up behind their shields and barriers and the emotional moats they’re both too damn stubborn to put a bridge over, but it wouldn’t last. Charles has to choose to reach out; Erik has to choose to let him.
“I suppose it’s too much to hope for that you’re here to apologize,” Charles says.
If Erik flinches, the helmet hides most of it.
“We can discuss our apologies later,” Erik returns. “We’ve got bigger problems than the ones between the two of us… my friend.”
Charles turns his wheelchair around and heads back toward the ramp at the front of the mansion. When Erik stays rooted to the spot, Charles stops, turning to look over his shoulder, over the backrest on his chair.
“Are you coming? My friend,” Charles calls.
Even Darwin winces at the sound of that. But Erik raises his hands slightly to his sides, his palms facing Charles, his hands spread, and he comes up into the air, floating along— showing off, maybe, but it works. Charles’s angry expression falters for a moment.
It’s back on his face and back in the set of his shoulders before he gets inside, but it’s enough to build on. Darwin hopes to hell they build on it.
Bryan Singer’s most recent twitter set photo. Clearly it’s the 70s.
OMG I don’t know how to react to this.

Of all the ways the X-Men Days of Future Past story could go, I did not expect failed folk group.
our-girl-friday wins for best comment, so this is the one I’m reblogging.
I’m at brilligspoons’ for writing + laundry and Pearl texted me saying “omg that set picture” and I had no idea what she was talking about and then I opened tumblr and everything made an awful, wonderful sort of sense XD
Margaret: What is that shirt?!
Kait: It’s the 70s, Margaret. That shirt is the 70s.
helens78: that shirt XD I’m sure my dad owned something like that once
Cesare Caligari: every man owned that shirt in the 70s. colors varied but shirts with that pattern were issued universally throughout the US and UK
Bryan Singer’s most recent twitter set photo. Clearly it’s the 70s.
OMG I don’t know how to react to this.

Babblr is a real-time chat client for communicating with your tumblr friends. Featured in techcrunch and many other social news rooms as the first of its kind.Babblr has some big news information on what happened these last 2 days!! Make sure you reblog this for people to know!
You know, I would trust Babblr further than I can throw it if it didn’t send emails with links that preview as:
http://babblr.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=randomstringofnumbers&id=randomstringofnumbers&e=randomstringofnumbers
Dude. DUDE. No way am I going to click a link that looks like that when I don’t know who you are and what your product is for sure, and when it’s had seedy links and reports of badness. I don’t necessarily believe you’re a virus or anything, but don’t ACT like a trojan if you’re not a trojan, ‘k?
(And it’s also pretty gross that what you’re actually pointing to is http://babblr.me/purchase — why the hell couldn’t your link have directed me THERE, instead of through some bullshit marketing gobbledygook? And on top of that… you’re begging for money NOW. Now, after you’ve just proven that you have NO IDEA what you’re doing. Nope. NOOOOOOOOOPE. N-O-P-E.)
Good points all. They’re not a hacker thing or a virus thing, but that doesn’t mean ‘therefore blindly trust them’.

Part of the Bound and Determined AU.
- Helens: heeee I forgot Wimbledon has Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in it... asked about his weaknesses, Paul Bettany includes "Men in leather shorts"
- Cesare: hee
- W!Carl: I own leather shorts. *winning smile, tip of his tongue poking out between his lips*
- Helens: how does he make that glaring orange color look so good
- Cesare: hee
- Helens: ha. if you replaced Dieter, the German tennis player who is Paul Bettany's best friend, with, say... Erik Lehnsherr, the German tennis player who is Paul Bettany's practice partner... ...oh man, maybe Paul Bettany is Cain XD
- Cesare: XD!
- Charles: Believe me, there is no resemblance.
- Helens: XD XD XD!

Warnings for underage/non-con in the extract to be on the safe side
Unbound
Bound and Determined AO3 collection
Heed the warnings in the AO3 tags.Note: It wasn’t until the second cover was nearly finished that I realised Bound and Determined was the name of the whole verse and not the fic, so it got converted into a collection instead. Not exactly elegant, but better than tossing the whole design out. I confess the bulk of my knowledge of these fics comes from the first few chapters of Unbound and some meta posts, so these could be way off the mark.
As for the sample spread, hey, who am I to pass up a chance to run a deliberate river through the middle of a page? Setting an entire book like that would likely drive the reader stark raving mad though.
Special thanks to thoseweirdthings and uglystories for the Atonement screenshot.
Fassbender photo belongs to Peter Hapak, only the butchering is mine.
Oh, my God, you completely made my weekend. And week. And MARCH. And 2013 to date. These are FANTASTIC AND GORGEOUS and I love them and I love you.
Reblogging for Helens78 :-)
