    Summary

    Erik Lehnsherr has his life exactly as he wants it: his work, his mother, and above all his children. He has no room and no need for anything else.

    Then a man crouches in front of his runaway twins in the Science Museum and starts talking about genetics, and Erik finds himself revising that opinion considerably.

    He takes it slowly. He does everything right. And then he asks Charles to move in, and his seven-year-olds have a great deal to say about that.

    Months later, single and thoroughly miserable, Erik spots a familiar figure across a busy London street. What happens next is, technically, Pietro's fault.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of everything, Charles accepts Erik's invitation to Genosha. He intends to grieve quietly, remain out of the way, and under no circumstances examine why Erik keeps showing up at lunchtime.

    He manages approximately one of these things.

    Post-Dark Phoenix. Slow burn. Happy ending eventually, though Charles would like it noted that it took long enough.
