Title: This Is The New Year
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Pairing(s): Alex/Darwin, Charles/Erik, Raven/Irene Adler
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1083
Warnings: None.
Summary: Five things that may or may not have happened on Leap Year Day. Or on a beach during a Leap Year.
Author¨s notes: Sometimes you need something short and sweet. This ficlet makes no promise of adhering to any sensible calendar. Or to the movie canon post XMFC, except perhaps a little bit. Also, it's not just about marriage, because I like the idea of Leap Year Day bringing about change (as opposed to the idea that women are only allowed to propose one year out of four, what even is that, sigh).

I'm working on this post-movie AU, you see. The premise can be summed up as: "Nope, Raven doesn't leave her brother bleeding on a beach." Alternatively "Vee's attempt at consistent characterization." Or: "Erik broods; Raven and Charles are the best siblings."

Anyhow, this story is getting long and there's a lot of healing and pain and so on and so forth, and the other day I needed to give Erik and Charles a moment of something less difficult, if you will. Post-movie, no warnings.
