Title: Of Your Voice
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Charles/Erik

Some nights, often after Charles has sunk deeply into his mind, Erik unconsciously speaks in German. It's not a language they share -- Latin and French as well as English -- but even if telepathy didn't translate, Charles has the impulse -- besotted, he knows -- to think he would always understand Erik.

So, he's free to love the sound of Erik murmuring drowsy German. Whether whispered amidst dawn-lit lovemaking, mumbled during brief waking, or texturing hazy thoughts, it effects subtle changes, rendering Erik's voice both deeper and crisper, more elegant and more menacing, so that a thrill tingles down Charles's spine and heat pools heavily between his legs. The rich sensations haunt Charles until he finds himself wishing Erik would speak German even during the day.

Instead he leans over Erik in bed, smoothing his sleeping mind into peace; Erik murmurs, "Liebling," and Charles shivers happily, whispering in answer, "Darling, yes."

Yeah, that voice of his ... let's just say I'd watch 2 hours of Erik Lehnsherr: Multilingual Nazi Hunter. Over and over and also over.

This is beautifully written. Sexy and romantic...

Hi, darling. I've been away, so this is the first C/E I've ever read. (When I saw the movie I remember thinking that there would be some good slash out there - so glad you are one so moved!)

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

It is SO SO GOOD to hear from you.

There is such a fandom! If you want to read some lovely stories, try oldfriends, erik_charles, havok_darwin and thefirstclass, and of course, for drabbles, firstclass100.

[aprilkat.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll look into the fandom at some point.
