Already The World Entire


When Raven wakes up, warm and alone, she doesn't remember her dreams, but she does remember she's in Azazel's bed. [describe bed, describe happy soreness, describe happiness. Azazel reappears -- describe brimstone. They have morning caresses; Then Emma announces in their heads, sharp and ringing as a crystal bell, that "Fearless Leader" is back.]





Story starts with Erik having Azazel teach Raven how to fight. She gets along well with him/is fucking him. Describe the whole team and the Raven/Erik show. Afterwards, Raven sits up in bed, feeling the world anew, and realizes she heard that Erik's come home.

At one point: She asks him why she's there. Erik tells her he didn't bring her there to be 'his woman'. She snorts, says 'good, because I've been sleeping with Azazel'. He asks, 'are you exclusive?' She says 'no, are you jealous?' He says, 'do you want me to be?' and then, "Azazel?' and she says he's the most unique man she's ever met, he's magnificent. Erik says, 'he's an accomplished killer', she agrees and says, 'I told him that the first time I saw him he terrified me." Erik asks what his response was. She says, "He told me he looked forward to teaching me to be terrifying," and Erik grins approvingly, and makes a date with her for that night.

She tells Azazel, and goes to Erik. When she comes to him he's holding a photo of himself and Charles in a field, etc, as below.

Erik was away, and returns. Redo of this: when she comes to Erik he's holding a picture of himself and Charles in a field. He asks her to be someone for him, she thinks he'll ask Charles, he says a man and she says, "no, I won't be Charles for you", argument and resolution, and she shifts through him and then herself male and then relaxes to herself female afterwards. [Erik is nice to her and flirtatious, and she decides to go to him as Charles. He yells at her to stop and get out, and she stands her ground. He calms down. --or, he asks her to be Charles, ("I need you to be Charles for me,") then says it's a mistake, asks her to be someone else, she says who, he says anyone, she becomes him and masturbates for him and/or fucks him. ]

In climactic fight she demands to know about him, saying she gave up her whole life for him, she deserves to know for what. He agrees, and takes her to bed and tells her to be herself. Interlude where she's him, maybe. And he has her fuck him.

At the end, in bed, he gently rolls her over, spoons her, and tells her all
about himself, murmuring into her hair. Ends his tale with Charles convincing him not to go. She thinks "this is what Charles saw without being told" but also "this is what Erik is choosing to tell me."/ "Charles took this, Erik is choosing to give it to me." [This is what Charles took without being told, Raven thinks. This is what Erik is choosing to tell me.]

Next morning, coda scene: Erik and Raven show up to breakfast, and Azazel pouts dramatically/Russianly and says it's clear she's Magneto's woman, but Erik says she is her own woman as she goes and sits with Azazel, and tells them he has a mission for them all.



My idea for that as it currently stands is all theme and no plot. After
> the movie Erik and Raven both have Charles shaped holes in their lives,
> and Raven thinks Erik wants her for being Charles' sister, being able to
> imitate him. Erik wants her for all the ways she is not Charles,
> and he honestly and sincerely does want her (every story on the subject
> I've seen so far has Erik greatly preferring Charles to Raven, but they
> never would have grown into the partnership they did if they couldn't get
> past that). So I want Erik and Raven to collapse that Charles-shaped
> vaccum into a tight bond between them.

POET WARRIOR OWL (lcsbanana) replied to a comment you left in a LiveJournal
post (http://lcsbanana.livejournal.com/2063912.html). The comment they
replied to was:

> Yes yes yes yes yes, and also yes. I spend so much time consoling myself
> with resistant readings I sometimes forget that some of them shouldn't
> have to be resistant.

> (And oh God, would someone please finally get the Erik/Charles/Raven

Their reply was:

The worst of those prompts are the ones where it's not just that Raven
clearly doesn't matter or have feelings of her own, but her rejection and
not-good-enough and being used are explicitly part of the prompt--not
really the focus, of course, the focus is on Erik or Charles, but
specifically requested nonetheless. THAT'S AWFUL.

In happier news, I'm constructing a rec list and I can't stop getting
ridiculously effusive and full of too many adjectives for "good" and
"beautiful" and "ALL THE FEELINGS." Fanfic, you are my forever love.

Sudden thought: I want fic about how Mystique is a crucial guiding hand
in Erik's change to Magneto and development thereafter. How she's such a
huge part of what turns his outward-directed rage and his own pain into
this care for other mutants--going by the other movies (mostly) and the
comics in assuming it's a genuine care (if not overburdened with
compassion), that he doesn't only want an army for fighting back but also
to gather all these people and empower them, except a better word than
"empower". Like Charles, except not. But sort of. But not.
ANYWAY--Raven/Mystique seems to play a major role in the part of the
transition we saw and I'm convinced she'd continue to do so as he grew
into becoming Magneto. And I want to read about it! Not just as an object
he reflects upon but her active contributions, arguments, decisions, and
example.

Title from: Catch a Body by Ilse Bendorf,

Salinger, I’m sorry, but “Don’t ever tell
anybody anything” is a string of words
I would like to wrap up in canvas and sink
to the bottom of the Hudson, or extract
by laser from the ribcage of all of us
who ever believed it, who felt afraid
to miss someone, to be the last one
standing. “Tell everyone everything” is
not exactly right, but I do believe that if
your mother looks radiant in violet
you should tell her, or when a juvenile
sparrow thrashes its wings in dustpiles
and reminds you of a lover’s eyelashes,
you should say so. We are islands all of us,
but we are also boats, our secrets flares,
pyrotechnic devices by which we signal
there’s someone in here we’re still alive!
So maybe it’s, “don’t be afraid.” We can
rewrite Icarus, flame-resistant feathers,
wax that won’t melt, I mean it, I’ll draw up
a prototype right now, that burning ball
of orange won’t stop us, it’ll be everything
we dream the morning after, even if we fall
into the sea—we are boats, remember?
We are pirates. We move in nautical miles.
Each other’s anchors, each other’s buoys,
the rocket’s red, already the world entire.

oh WOW yes this is great. Raven! Raven and Erik! Raven as Erik fucking Erik um yeah I'm gonna need a minute. I realize that wasn't the point of this story which is so full of amazing IDEAS, but it kind of caught my attention. And this all works so well for the stuff I talked about in that comment, which I had until now completely forgotten *g* -- the enormous and central role Raven plays in changing Erik, both because he watches her actions and growth and it makes him think about himself, and because she challenges him directly, and because she's someone he can have the kind of relationship with that he was longing for, but could never be right with Charles for the reasons you explain here. RAVEN RAVEN RAVEN ERIK RAVEN. Basically. This makes me want to rewatch the movie so bad except I know it would make me angry, but ohhhh. Raven!
