Laws of Motion by Ion_Bond (PG13)

Fandom: XMMF
Pairing: Charles/Erik
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ion_bond
Author Website: Memories
Why this must be read: [livejournal.com profile] ion_bond's writing reminds me very much of Shirley Jackson; she has this amazing ability to say a great deal without using too many words. Her writing is always very weighted, and her attention to word choice really makes her a fabulous writer. She writes wonderful Charles/Erik fic with the perfect amount of angst, that makes your heart hurt in that really good way. Fans of this pairing should absolutely devour every word she's written--you won't be sorry. This story is a past-fic, and talks about the initial meeting between Charles Xavier and the man who would one day become his greatest foe.

This is a three-part story. The link takes you to part one, "Inertia", which will then provide a link to the final two parts.


When the lesson is easy or the professor is wrong, Charles finds that his mind drifts along with everyone else’s. It makes him uncomfortable. He tries to think his own thoughts and not theirs.

In his literature classes, which are filled with rich boys like him who will probably never have to make a living, Charles distracts himself by calculating derivatives in his head. His science classes aren’t as saturated with other people’s daydreams. Occasionally he mentally runs through Donne’s Holy Sonnets, but most of the time, just staring at the backs of the heads of the students sitting in the row in front of him is enough to keep him from seeing what’s inside them.
