Conjugal Visit

"What sort of visit?"

"It was the only way they'd let me in to see you," Xavier explains patiently. "By the way, do you remember calling me naive for saying it might someday be possible to come out?"

"What does your current paramour think of this?" Ignoring Xavier's question. "Who is it, Charles? That man with all the fascinating metal... no? Who then?" A beat. Then Magneto raises his eyebrows and says mockingly: "Well. Wild swans and telepaths."

Xavier snorts. "Mad dogs and Englishmen."

A laugh. "Set up the chessmen, Charles. We'll tell them it's how we mate."

"Isn't it?"

Author's Note: proverbially, wild swans mate for life.

Thank you :) I haven't come up with any other Charles/Erik drabble ideas yet, but this began life as an outtake from my WIP, which might even be finished someday.

Bwa! "We'll tell them it's how we mate" - that's marvellous! I love it.

You're welcome!

But I mainly wanted to tell you that I love that icon.

Thank you. I knew I recognized your name, and was embarrassed to figure out that it's because I loved -- but never sent you feedback on -- _Zero Plus One_. Sorry about that!

That's okay, I'm just as happy to hear that you liked it now. :) Thanks.

*happy sigh*

The perfect balance between snarky, sweet, sharp and thougthful that is this pairing done well. Lovely dialogue, and I can just see Charles patiently explaining things to the authorities ...

Oh God, now so can I. "Yes, I understand that you need proof that the relationship is serious and long-term. That's rather difficult in light of the Defense of Marriage Act, isn't it? However, in our case, I suggest that you contact the FBI -- I'm quite sure they have some record of us, though it's probably too old to be computerized. Oh, by the way, while you have them on the phone, in 1954 the United States government seized a copy of the Mattachine Review addressed to us, and we would like it back, please. *listens* Yes, I'll hold."

Would you blush more if I asked to archive it?

The proto-index of my new X-Men movieverse archive is here, and I'd love to add Conjugal Visit to the list.

Oh God, now so can I.

*giggles hysterically*

Oh, yes, that's how it'd be ... you have the Xavier voice down, you know.

I'd be very pleased, of course.

::prods for more fic::

Well, I just coughed up 20,000 more words of Movieverse fiction, increasing my wordcount of fanfic by two orders of magnitude. So, nice prodding :) Link in my lj.
