Fic: A duel between gentlemen. X-Men: First Class. Charles/Erik. PG.

[wildestranger]

I seem to have created a tiny X-Men: First Class fic. A Regency AU. Sometimes these things just happen.

Title: A duel between gentlemen
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Pairing: Charles/Erik (in potentia)
Rating: PG
Words: 500

I have some thoughts on how to continue from this, but all ideas will be gratefully received.

a) KNOWN DEBAUCHERY AT HELLFIRE CLUB.
b) also Charles very worried over Raven's FIRST SEASON
c) sorry, just realized that Erik was probably wearing extremely shiny black Hessian boots and felt a little faint about it for a moment.
d) obviously they become the best of friends and Charles sponsors Erik at his gentleman's club even though he doesn't have a TITLE and also I think there is some racing in curricles and then going off to country estates where people wear only fine lawn shirts that cling to their chests when they get wet (SOMEHOW) and there is careful planning in re: the Shaw problem and also LONGING and such.

I like your thoughts! There should definitely be shiny boots.

Actually, I was just reading your Draco/Neville fic as I saw this - I hope you have new thoughts about this pairing with the new film?

YES THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE OF THIS.

I seem to have mysteriously acquired a copy of this film. Does your giant tv support avi files? :D?

I WILL FIND A WAY

First, thank goodness someone's considering doing a Regency AU! With all the fodder from the period pieces McAvoy and Fassy have done, you'd think fandom would be overflowing with it.

Second, ideas:

I always find the racing horses, caught in a rainstorm, situation enjoyable. See also: inappropriate touching in a carriage.

Maybe Eric is secretly a pirate or some sort of other high seas adventurer and they have to be on a ship, sharing a tiny cabin with an even tinier bed?

Showing a bit of skin (an ankle bone! scandalous!) funtimes?
