“There’s no guarantee the baby will be a mutant,” Charles says.
I have been waiting for Charles to show his backbone. I knew he had it in him. I think this update marks the first point I haven't been really opposed to them. I think it's because, before, Charles was so hesitant and uncertain and not at all the BAMF I know he can be, but here you really showed him as someone capable of standing up to Mags. I didn't see that before, so it made me really stand-offish about their relationship. I like, too, that he admitted not knowing if his feelings were genuine. That goes a long way towards making this whole situation bearable for me.
That being said, I'm so curious to know your take on Erik. When he said that he didn't order a cull, like he ought to be rewarded for it, I literally gasped. Charles is a better person than I if he can look past that. But then, your Erik completely horrifies me. Granted, comic!Mags sometimes horrifies me, too, so I suppose that's a compliment.
Very gutting update. This whole fic hurts me in ways I doubt I'll ever heal from. You do such a good job with it.
