Aha - I'm glad you tuned into that! Because that was part of what I wanted to do with the dream - turn it around on Erik. In so many ways he is trapped by his feelings for Charles, even though he's not trapped physically.

However I have no intention of doing Charles' POV, I'm afraid, and I will tell you why. A lot of the point of this fic - and a lot of its strength, in my opinion - comes directly from the fact that we don't KNOW what Charles is thinking or feeling, and neither does Erik. Charles is a mystery, which is a lot of his appeal to Erik and, I hope, to the reader - it's impossible to tell how he feels and how much of it is real. If we had his POV then all of the mystery would be gone and so would a lot of the tension and suspense of the fic. That said, half the point of him being a mystery is so that you DO want to know what he's thinking about it, so clearly I have succeeded :D

Oh, you clever little thing! =D
This whole story is simply amazing and now to know that Charles would remain a mystery is just so very intriguing. I wonder how this would end up one day. >o< *hopes for the best!*
