FIC - Fifty Different Reasons (X-Men, Charles/Erik, PG-13)

Written for the xmenreversebang event

Original and very inspirational art by maichan
X-Men Verse: Mainly movieverses with a dollop of comics!verse, Alternative Universe
Characters/Pairings:Charles/Erik with background Raven/Magda, Magda, Kurt, Wanda and Pietro - or Erik's 'dead' wife, Nightcrawler and the Maximoff twins - did I mention the AU bit?
Rating: PG
Word Count: 7114
Warnings: AU, fluff

Story Notes: For those of you keeping track at home - Professor X will be played by Sir Patrick Stewart in this story, Erik 'Magneto' Lehnsherr will be played by Sir Ian McKellen. With Raven played by Rebecca Romji and Kurt played by Alan Cumming. Also - any references to The Avengers, refers to the cinematic version, although for the sake of confusion, like in the comic books, the twins are part of that august band.

As neither the twins or Magda have movieverse counterparts (yet!) - please feel free to cast whom you will. I did have Luke Evans in mind as Pietro and Eva Green as Wanda. As for Magda - I'm leaning towards Dame Helen Mirren.

: First off, my heartfelt thanks and gratitude must go to the amazing maichan who has been utterly awesome from start to finish. When I first saw her art, it was the one I wanted to work with above all others. Even when I was struck down by a terrible bout of writer's block - I still kept that image on my desktop to push me forward. She's been an excellent collaborator, happy to read my scribbles and give feedback. It's been a pleasure to work with her and I hope I've done her beautiful art justice. Please, please, take time out to leave feedback on her work, she deserves the praise.

I'd also like to express my grateful thanks to the mods of xmenreversebang for mounting and running such a fun and enjoyable show. I'd also like to express my undying gratitude to afrocurl for beta duties above and beyond, I'm pathetically grateful!

The title of this story is taken from a quote from the film The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
