I Loooove This Kind Of Angst - Tumblr Posts

Favourite X Men angst fanfic concept I love (and even when it’s analysed in canon) is the whole Mutant and Proud motto where they show that due to his mutation not being trusted Charles isn’t included in that motto.

It’s so sad in fics when he’s told to rein in his telepathic mutation where other mutants are encouraged to show their mutations.

The potential of this fic trope is:

Charles!Whump - Headaches, Illness

Protectiveness - Moments where the rest of the First Class group are protective of him when they realise and argue on his behalf with the people who are hurting him (it’s mostly Raven or Erik who are the ones who unintentionally hurt him which is such good angst if it focuses on Cherik or Charles and Raven’s sibling relationship)

Cherik (because of course)

It’s just so good but I need it to have happy endings or I’ll cry
