Soooo... I might have forgotten to write down the end date, so I'll have to DNF this :C
I really like the idea of this, I just didn't really read much this summer (but i wrote a lot, so go read all my fics ;P)
Do you think Charles can affect and control his own mind?
I just imagine him being done with Erik and not wanting to argue, so he puts his fingers to the side of his face and just falls unconscious. Imagine Erik’s shock as Charles just falls to the ground mid-argument.
And, what if he did this in Days of Future Past on the plane. Erik starts naming dead mutants and Charles is just “fuck this, let’s scare the attitude out of him”. And just pretends to dead in front of him.
Something I don’t think gets talked about enough in the x-men movies is how Erik, in first class had to learn to separate his powers and his emotions, learning to be in between rage and serenity. While Charles in DoFP had to learn to feel his pain to make him stronger and re master his powers.
While their powers are so different, the way they learn to be in complete control of them are reflections of each other. Just like their life experiences and how they were raised.
