Thank you so much! You know I love your writing, so this makes me super happy :)

I think one of the most fun things in this fic has been taking some common tropes and turning them on their head - Erik is keeping Charles captive, but it's for his own good. Erik takes over the country and does a good job, because he's eminently capable of it, given the chance, but he so rarely is. I'm enjoying it immensely!

I can't take credit for the name thing - that was suggested by the fabulous oxys_kai_moros, who came up with a far better reason than I would have. It did allow me then to have that little angsty faceslap in there for Charles, too, which just drives home the reality of his situation that little bit further.

One of the things I really wanted to do in this fic - and to a certain effect in all of my fics, though some of my pornfills may do this more or less than others - is keep Charles' masculinity and maleness intact. He has broad shoulders and man's hands, and he's handsome but he's not waifish. He's a strong, independent person, and I hope that's reflected here.

There will be another update on Friday as usual pending disaster, so you'll have to be patient a few more days :D
