    Summary

    Charles and Erik have been married for years: in public, the tabloids have dubbed them New York’s “powered couple,” and in private, they’re deeply in love.

    But when Charles wakes up in the hospital, he finds his life has utterly unraveled while he was unconscious. Three years prior, he was hit on the head and sent into a coma-like “telepathic fugue state”; today, Erik is in prison, convicted of attempted murder for a crime it seems like only he could have committed.

    Charles knows Erik would never harm him—but will anyone else actually believe it?

    Despite everything, when I think of my father; I picture his smile.

    Lorna Dane inserted into the 2000s X-Men Movieverse Fic, with all the teen angst and family therapy that would require.

    Summary

    Excerpt from chapter 33:

    Charles was stable. That was the best news the doctors could provide, and as Erik stood by his friend's bedside, his arms were folded tight to his chest. Charles lay on the mattress, a starched white bed sheet draping him from chest to feet. His eyes remained open. His arms rested outside the covers with tubes protruding from his skin like he was a component of a machine and nothing more.

    That was, after all, what Erik had reduced him to already. At the base.

    Gingerly, Erik extended his hand. He wrapped his fingers around Charles' left wrist, just above the dark ring of purple staining his skin. Words ached in Erik's throat, but he didn't bother with any. He had been such a fool. He had allowed the other mutants to manipulate his better judgment, to make an enemy of their own kind like dogs eating each other.

    Never again.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    More realistic portrayal of spinal cord injury than most other fics, but also a dose of ableism. Should be tagged Charles/ Moira

    At one point, Charles figures, he needs these stolen moments with Erik, or otherwise he'd go mad with yearning.
