browngirlTitle: What I Tell You Thrice Is True
Rating: As it is: PG As it was intended to be: Uncertain, maybe up to NC-17 with warnings.
Pairing: Charles/Erik, Raven
Content Advisory: Violence, possibly non-con and forced prostitution and notes on same
Summary: Three times Erik promises Charles he will return for him.
Notes: From a lovely kinkmeme prompt ("Charles saves Prince Erik from captivity and Erik promises Charles to come back for him."). I didn't end up writing this largely because I couldn't decide how badly things would go for Charles. It's a pity -- there are some tropes in here I would have loved to play with.
[When Erik is twelve disaster strikes. Every birthday his mother made him swear he would avenge his father and reclaim his throne; every eve of his birthday she tells him how she fled Shaw the usurper with nothing but his father's lapis seal of kingship in her hand and Erik in her womb, hidden beneath her heart. When he's twelve Shaw finds them, kills his mother and captures him, planning to execute him publicly three days hence. A palace boy, Charles, finds him and lets him go -- says Irene the blind seeress told him about the days of the last king. Charles is the step-son of one of Shaw's knights, Marko. When Erik asks how Charles found him, Charles says he heard his thoughts; when he asks if Charles will be caught, Charles says they won't miss him at sword practice, and Raven is better anyway. Explains that Raven is his adopted sister, she needs family, and Erik needs a friend. Erik promises to come back for Charles, and flees]
[Six years later Erik returns. Charles and Raven find him, but so does Shaw's new sorceress Emma. Charles holds her off while Erik takes Raven, promises for a second time, and flees. Don't forget to mention Marko.
A few months later Erik and Raven return, sneaking his men into the city through paths Charles taught him and she knows; Erik disguises himself as a palace soldier to find Charles. [Gets invited to the "soldier's whore" -- Charles under a helmet.] --? [maybe figure out a less rapey torment for Charles.] Erik kills everyone in the room. Charles says Erik will need him to kill Shaw, because he's a sorcerer and Emma is his right hand woman now. Charles says he's stronger than she is and can hide them from her at least temporarily.
Raven disguises herself via her power, and Erik wraps up his face. They bring Charles in, say they caught him running away. Shaw asks to see 'the silent soldier's' face and Erik reveals himself. Emma goes to attack him but Charles holds her off long enough for Erik to stun her, then Shaw long enough for Erik to kill him. (Raven fights other guards.)
Then Charles collapses and Raven signals Erik's soldiers to move in while Erik brings Charles to the healers. Third promise in the healers' halls.
Put into Bronze Age setting instead

tl;dr Charles saves Prince Erik from captivity and Erik promises Charles to come back for him.
Erik is a kidnapped prince kept in the dungeons of King Shaw's castle. He first meets Charles when the boy slips into the dungeons during a game of hide and seek.
They strike up a fast friendship that has Charles helping Erik to escape and Erik promising to come back for Charles one day.
Years pass before Erik would return as a strong young man of 18. His kingdom will launch an attack on Shaw, and wanting to see Charles and ensure his safety before the attack, Erik has insisted on gathering intelligence personally, foolish as it may sound for a land to send its prince as spy.
He finds Charles in a far worse plight from when he left. Charles's parents had passed and he is under the guardianship of a Kurt Marko, who sexually abuses him and trades him for material gain.
Erik plans to take Charles away, but is captured by Shaw's men before he can.
And they are back at the dungeons, in a replay of their childhood, except Charles deliberately finds him this time, purposefully armed with a plan to break Erik free.
Erik again promises to come back for Charles.
The next time Erik returns, he does with an army behind him to bring Shaw down.
Up to writer the condition in which Erik finds Charles.
