-Still waiting for the dadneto spinoff that is not just a false hope

OMG it so GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter seven is up!

talk dirty to me (tell me about your current dadneto wip 🔪 )

Well since you asked so nicely ;)

The WIP I’m supposed to be working on is the second chapter of One Son’s Worth (over 5k already!!) but I got distracted a few days ago by working on a completely self-indulgent drabble set in my dark DOFP timeline! Everybody thank @it-meant-nothing for reigniting my love of this AU haha!

The fic is centred around Erik being extremely touch starved after his 24 year imprisonment while Pietro is completely touch averse from his own life on the run from sentinels and how they navigate that. It’s set very early on in their relationship and follows how that bond develops through trust and understanding, and I just love it SO MUCH it’s not even funny.

There’s something about the tension of Pietro and Erik caring about each other so deeply but being separated by this massive rift in their experiences that makes me feral. Of course Erik fully respects Pietro’s boundaries and refrains from physical affection even though it KILLS him inside, and while Pietro may hate being touched, he grows to love his dad enough to make an exception for Erik.

Here’s a segment from the fic, if you’d like a preview!

Erik started to forget that touch could mean something other than suffering.

And then Pietro came along, shattering not only his cell but his very reality in the process. A hand on his arm. Another curled up in his hair. A touch that didn’t carry pain, but hope, and freedom, and something that felt dangerously close to safety. Erik’s skin tingled long after Pietro had pulled his hands away, and it wasn’t long after that Erik realised how deeply he had missed such gentle contact.

He learnt very quickly, however, that Pietro did not feel the same.

Thanks for allowing me to ramble dearest!!

“They have Peter,” Erik’s voice is breaking. “They have our son.”

The teacup Charles was holding shatters on the floor. “What happened?”

Erik’s trembling hands produce the package that had been dropped on the mansion’s doorstep. A tuft of silver hair spills onto Charles’ desk, along with a typed letter and a polaroid.

“They said they want information about Cerebro. They know I helped you build it. And I – I put Peter in danger, taking him in. This is my fault.” Erik all but collapses into Charles. “He doesn’t know anything about Cerebro, but they don’t know that. They’re hurting him, Charles.”

Charles Xavier is not a vengeful person. But one look at the Polaroid on his desk fills him with an unusual rage. Peter’s kidnappers had cut his hair – and scalp in some places – and there were bruises flowering across his face. There’s no telling what damage has been done to the rest of his body.

“Erik,” Charles whispers, rubbing his husband’s shaking shoulders. “We’re going to get him back. No matter what it takes. We’re going to bring our son home.” *** Whumptober prompts fulfilled: search party, wound cleaning, stitches, team as family

BESTIE!!!! Tell me all about Rest Now, My Child (The Day is Over)! What inspired this idea? Were there any other details you thought about including but didn’t? LOVE YOU!!’

AHHHH BESTIEEEEE!!! I would absolutely LOVE to talk about Rest Now My Child because I think it’s some of the best angst/comfort I’ve ever written in a while!!

To be honest, it was shamelessly inspired by an Irondad and Spiderson fic of the same concept where Peter P. arrived at Stark Tower covered in blood and Tony helped him clean it up. I can’t remember if it ever explained how it happened in that fic, but I’m pretty sure I saw it on Tumblr, so if anyone knows which one it is please let me know and I’ll credit the author and fic!

I absolutely loved writing it though, because it’s protective Erik but in a very gentle way. It’s not covering Peter in a magnetic shield in the middle of battle but taking on the task that Peter is too broken to do on his own. It’s protecting him from having to keep living in the trauma and the shame and reassuring him through one of the hardest trials of his life. There's nothing worse than not being able to help those you love, and we really see that struggle with Erik as he wrestles with how he can help his son, not realising he's already doing everything he can 😭

And ooo that's an interesting question. Before I had Erik stepping out to clean up Peter's room, I was originally going to have Erik sort of guide Peter to sit on the bed and talk about what happened, before embracing Peter until he fell asleep after crying it out for a while. In the end I decided it was more haunting to have Peter be the one to openly tell Erik the truth, ready to finally say it to the one person he trusts the most.

Thank you so much for letting me ramble, and AHH I LOVE YOU TOO BESTIE!!! 💕💕💕
