Summary
After Professor X wipes her memories, Moira MacTaggert is exiled from the X-Mansion; but perhaps with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. she might find her way back again.
N.B. I originally wrote this in 2014. Then I rewrote it again in 2019. Now I'm doing it again in 2025. But I've not seen anything past Endgame Part 1 because I lost interest. I just want to finish this, because I keep starting a rewrite then I give up. Sorry if the timeline isn't always in line with the films/tv shows, but I worked in comic lore too and that doesn't always match up with the MCU anyway.

Summary
Erik couldn’t help but feel like he shouldn’t be there.
He had left Charles on the beach and Cuba. The one thing he had never wanted to do, he had hurt Charles. Put a bullet in his spine.
A couple of days later he had managed to calm down enough to realize what he had done. And not to mention how foolish he had been. He had injured Charles and just left him on the beach. Erik had left, and Raven with him. Charles had lost his family after being injured.
When that had sunk in, Erik had found Azazel and Emma and then had tracked down Charles, finding out what hospital he was at. It was another fear of Erik’s, walking into a hospital after everything Shaw had done to him but there was a determination there. This was something he had to do, there was no other option but to see Charles. Erik refused to leave before seeing him.

Summary
"In the dark Charles likes to slip into Erik’s reptile brain and curl up within the rise and fall of his breathing and the steady tick of his heart, all the plain-spoken rhythms of the limbic system. Erik can feel him there like a second soul, and he sleeps soundly now, cushioned from the nightmares. They had been terrible at first, worse even than what had always plagued him. He still dreamt of the camp, mud and twisted wire and the toxic stench of death, but then he saw a beach too, the earth shifting out from under his feet in waves of hot sand, the sun wheeling closer and closer, and Charles lying wrapped in white with pennies on his eyes."
Charles is gone, lost to a stray bullet on a Cuban beach.
Well, to everyone else he's gone. For Erik, he's closer than ever.
