Summary
“Bless you, Alex,” Charles says calmly, handing the boy a tissue as the kitchen table wobbles and collapses, taking everyone’s dinner plates down with it. Darwin's jacket smoulders quietly, smoke rising from its singed sleeve until he looks down and pats at it, smothering the embers.
“Aw man, I was looking forward to that lasagne,” Sean nudges the shattered glass dish with his foot. “Can’t you get sick when it’s the Professor's turn to cook?”
or:
the First Class team catches a cold. naturally, things only escalate from there.

Summary
Charles looks up from his drink, eyes dancing. “You read Ginsberg,” he says, and then, “What am I saying—of course you read Ginsberg.”
Erik has read widely and studied extensively but is usually surrounded by people who assume he hasn’t. Charles has consistently been the exception to this. From anyone else, the comment would sound patronizing, but Charles says it as if it’s a wonderful fact that he’s somehow simply forgotten—right, of course sunshine feels good on your skin. Of course Erik Lehnsherr reads Ginsberg.
Erik's lips tilt up in half a smile. He feels something that Charles often makes him feel: the urge to rise to the occasion, to impress, to show off. He takes another drink of coffee, meets Charles’s eyes, then says, “I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world.”
Or: Soft sheets, post-sex coffee, and quoting literature as foreplay.

Summary
“Charles,” Erik says, and if his voice hits a pleading note then who can really blame him, “Charles, it’s me.”
It takes several longer moments before Charles musters up the strength to answer, breath stuttering horribly as he tries to breathe. He’s shaking, entire body trembling.
“Erik,” Charles says, his voice cracking, “Erik, I want to die.”
