Dear X-men ficcers

I love what you're doing, I love that this pairing has finally gone mainstream and I have fics to read for the first time since Penknife quit the fandom after X3.

HOWEVER-

Erik is Jewish. Stop having him being so into Christmas. It is really fucking annoying and more than a bit uncomfortable.

LETS HAVE SOME HANNUKHA FICS, PEOPLE!

So, I was playing around with Diaspora

And I realised I was turning Charles into a kid who was really into make-believe. That was fine, Erik had no problem going along with his oddball ideas, but I wondered why I say Charles as such a dreamer.

Then I remembered the Hogfather.

Death: Humans need fantasy to *be* human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.
Susan: With tooth fairies? Hogfathers?
Death: Yes. As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.
Susan: So we can believe the big ones?
Death: Yes. Justice, mercy, duty. That sort of thing.

:D
