Summary
Charles has just wrapped up a two-year grant project and a well-earned promotion, and treats himself to a week of sun, books, and blissful solitude.
Then Moira and Sean announce their engagement, Raven decides Charles “needs a little nudge,” and suddenly Erik is on a plane, the resort staff are alarmingly invested, and there’s a faint but undeniable scent of chaos in the air.
A Mind the Gap story about sun, miscommunication, and the logistical nightmare of trying to relax.

Summary
On the slopes of Nanga Parbat - the 'Killer Mountain' - in 1936, two rival expeditions race for glory - one led by Charles Xavier, a young English idealist, the other by Sebastian Shaw, backed by Nazi ambition.
For Charles Xavier, the climb is meant to be a monument to curiosity and courage. For Erik Lehnsherr, an exiled German engineer, it’s a test of endurance - and a reckoning with the ghosts of his past.
High on the Rakhiot Face, amid storms, rivalries, and avalanches, the two men begin to see each other clearly for the first time - not as adversaries, but as equals bound by the same fragile rope.
A story of survival over glory, of awe and terror in thin air, and of love found at the edge of the world.

Summary
Charles accidentally says “love you” at the end of a phone call, then attempts to fix it with a series of increasingly deranged voice notes.
Erik, of course, finds the entire thing endearing.
Featuring: one traumatising tie, a cat with excellent boundaries, Moira’s feminist-academic group chat, Erik’s unflappable calm, and a romantic declaration that nobody will let ever Charles forget.

Summary
Charles loves his sister. He really does.
All right, he rarely takes her anywhere he plans to revisit – she has the social boundaries of a foghorn – but she’s one of his favourite people.
Which makes it awkward that he hasn’t told her he’s seeing his ex again.
Unfortunately, London’s small, Raven’s nosy, and Charles has never been blessed with luck – or plausible deniability. And if history’s anything to go by, Charles’s secrets have the shelf life of a banana in July.

Summary
Charles’s morning was already a disaster — the kind that begins with burnt toast and ends with mild existential despair.
Then the Central line ground to a halt somewhere under London, and he found himself sharing recycled air with Erik Lehnsherr: the man he loved, the man he lost, and the one he still wasn’t quite over.
Thirty minutes. One carriage. No exits.
Nowhere to go but back through everything that went wrong.

Summary
When Charles Xavier moves to London and buys a house with his boyfriend Warren, he thinks his life is finally coming together in a way that everyone, including himself, has always expected. Erik Lehnsherr, on the other hand, is struggling to keep his life together after his recent divorce, now having to raise his three-year-old by himself. Neither is prepared to meet at work or, in fact, ever again: they have met before, now nearly ten years ago, when they conducted a passionate love affair that was over before it even began. Yet their attraction is still undeniable, and as Erik asks Charles out for a drink, Charles somehow forgets to mention that he's already seeing someone.

Summary
“Just one night, no fear, no shame, no blame or rage. Just serenity. Just us. Just one night to acknowledge that there is more here and then we go our separate ways and you go back to being angry and hating me.”
