Dadneto headcanons pt.2
Writers note: Man i love Oblivious Erik. He’s so smart but yet so oblivious.
There are bets going around on who will break first.
Either Erik is gonna find out or Peter is going to tell.
They all try to tell Erik in a non obvious way. It doesn’t work.
“Hey Erik, you know Peter was born today like 19 years ago? Btw what were you doing 19 years and 9 months ago?”
Erik just rolls his eyes and snorts.
Erik calls Peter “kid”.
When Erik first called Peter that Peter legitimately froze.
He was walking away from him and just “Alright see you later kid,” and Peter just stopped walking.
Charles sends them on missions together in which they have to play father and son.
Peter curses at him internally.
Charles is all smug about it.
Erik (finally) gets suspicious.
Yet he doesn’t want to put Peter on the spot.
So he pretends to be clueless.
Erik isnt that suspicious hes just like: Lmao would be funny if I’m Peters actual dad you know? I mean it’s possible coz Magda. Right Charles?
Charles breathing in deeply: Yeah. So funny.
Legit it’s just a game of who’ll break first.
omg unfortunately i don’t have an Ao3 account but i bet this is amazing!! I’ll reblog this so anyone whose interested can read it!!

Would be funny if the way Peter told Erik he was his son was by showing him the “you are my dad~” vine and then speeding away.
Erik: Peter’s my son? but how? He’s so impulsive and reckless.
Also Erik:
Charles: we should wait
Erik: haha lol nah i’m gonna kill that man.
i’m gonna scream-

The mansion was rarely a quiet place.
Children were constantly milling about from one classroom to the next, teachers could be heard lecturing from every hallway, and at least once a day, there was something being broken or going up in flames. Whether it was intentional or not was a concern for Charles, however. Because though he hadn’t rejected the idea completely, Erik had declined a teaching position for the time being, much to the disappointment of his old friend.
No, Erik had something far more important on his mind at the moment, and that was making up for lost time with his dear son, Peter.
When the boy had finally worked up the courage to tell him all those months ago, it almost felt too good to be true. A son. Erik’s son. Alive and well and all grown up- and God, what a gift that was. A privilege his other children had never been fortunate enough to know. But amidst all the agony and destruction that had encompassed Erik’s world, Peter was a spark of hope. A single ray of sunshine that kept him from drowning beneath the sorrow.
Energetic, quick witted, brave hearted Peter Maximoff.
His son.
The boy that -despite having almost every reason not to- chose to stay. Chose to be his.
Erik loved him with every fibre of his being, and he was determined to never lose a moment of their time together again. They had already lost too much…
Keep reading
Legal Guardian
Writer's note: I miss Dadneto. We were robbed. Also love Charles Xavier as Peter's unofficial father figure. Also the gif isn't mine.
It wasn't Peter's first time in police cell, and he was sure it won't be his last. Peter Maximoff sat alone in his cell, bored out of his mind.
He was caught for stealing. Again. Yes, he could've just escaped like usual but he didn't want to really be on the run forever.
"Mr. Maximoff, your mother is not picking up the phone. Is there any other adult that we may call? Your father perhaps?" The officer says, holding a phone in his hand.
Peter bites his cheeks. His father... Erik Lehnsherr. No, he didn't even know Peter was his son. It would be a terrible time to break the news. 'Hey Erik, fun fact! I'm your son! Now can you bail me out of prison?' It would absolutely tarnish his relationship with the man.
"Uh, yeah," Peter says. "I guess you can call uh Charles Xavier. He's not my dad, but... he's close enough."
"Splendid," The officer says, smiling at the boy. “What’s the number?”
~
"I see... Of course... I'll be there... Thank you."
Charles Xavier run's his hand through his hair, putting the phone down. He sighs.
"What was that all about?" Erik asks, moving his chess piece.
"It was Peter, he's currently detained. I need to bail him out," Charles says, putting on a brown coat. "Guess, we'll have to continues this later, Erik."
Erik looks back at Charles. His mind reeling. Peter was detained? Whatever for?
For stealing
The voice rung in Erik's head. Erik glares at Charles who only smiles at him. Amusement lacing his face. "Well then, I'll just follow you," Erik says, standing up and getting his leather coat.
Charles purses his lips. He didn't know if that would be the best course of action. Especially since Erik was Peter’s father. But how else would be deny Erik.
“Come on, we better hurry. I would rather Peter not be stuck in that cell for any longer,” Erik says, summoning his keys and patting Charles on the shoulder. Charles nods.
~ “Your legal guardian in here Mr. Maximoff.”
“Legal guardian?” Peter says, looking up.
“Uh, no, I’m sorry, i’m not his legal guardian,” Charles says, smiling awkwardly to the officer.
“How did you get yourself into this situation now, Peter?” Erik asks, touching the cold metal bars. He wanted nothing more than to bend it, but alas, Charles would’ve scold him for it. Peter freezes, noticing Erik who was smiling softly at him. A lump forms in his throat. Why was he here? Peter didn’t answer Erik, only looking down at the grey floor.
“I see… Alright, thank you so much,” Charles says to the officer who opens the door of the cell. Peter quickly scampers out of the cell.
~
“We’ll be off now. Thank you officer!” Charles says, waving as he goes into the passenger seat of the car in which both Erik and Peter already were sat in.
Peter nervously fidgets in his seat. He always hated car rides. They were too slow in his opinion. And now he was stuck with Erik Lehnsherr. The one man he had been avoiding for all his life.
You should tell him the truth.
Peter purses his lips, looking up to see Charles staring at him, Charles nods at him. Gesturing for him to do it. Peter bites the inside of his cheek.
If you don’t, I will. Trust me Peter, He’ll be accepting.
Peter sighs, hearing Charles’ voice ring through his head. He clears his throat. “So, uh Erik, I have something I wanted to uh, share, with you…”
“Oh? And what is that?” Erik says, focused on the road. Peter looks at Charles who gives him a reassuring look.
“Well, uh… imyourson.”
“Pardon? I didn’t catch that.”
“I’m… I’m your son,” Peter repeats, letting the words leave his mouth slowly and clearly. The car comes to an abrupt stop. No- I know I shouldn’t have done that-
“I- Your my son? Why… Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Erik says, turning back to look at Peter.
“Well I- I just- I didn’t know how you would react…” Peter admits, not daring to look his father in the eyes. Erik’s face softens.
“Oh Peter. Why would I be anything but overjoyed?” Erik says. Peter’s eyes widen as he looks back up to see Erik smiling, genuinely, at him. Erik turns back and starts driving.
Peter sits speechless, glancing at Charles who looks at him with an ‘I told you so’ look on his face. Peter scoffs, smiling at him.
“I guess we have a lot to catch up on then,” Erik says, breaking the silence.
“Son.”
I didn’t mean it
Warnings and whatnots: ANGST. I love hate myself some Dadneto angst. I might do a part 2 but depends on the responses I get from this one.
People don’t expect that the Magneto was related to Peter Maximoff. They weren’t alike. Peter was a rambunctious kid who ran on impulse, while Magneto was a methodical man who thought through his actions. Even Peter himself was surprised at the revelation. He wasn’t sure that his father would quite believe him. Who would?
“Peter!”
Peter jolts up, looking up to see Erik staring daggers into him.
After everything, Erik decided to take up on his old friend’s offer. He stayed at the mansion, becoming the resident physic teacher. Much to Peter’s dismay. Peter wanted nothing more but to be as far as possible from him. Yet, for a man who can practically run anywhere, he never seemed to be able to run away from Erik. It started messing up his sleep schedule. He couldn’t sleep thinking about Erik and all the possible reactions to Peter telling him about their relationship. Would he be pissed? Overjoyed? Disgusted? He wouldn’t be surprised if Erik didn’t want to accept it. Erik didn’t seem to take any interest in him anyway. Peter was a handful and he was sure Erik didn’t want someone like him as a son. Still, he didn’t want to cause Erik to leave. Erik was loved by many in the mansion. It would be unfair for Peter to just shoo him away.
“Yes sir?” Peter asks uncertainly. He looks around, realising people were snickering at him. It was the third time this week he had fallen asleep in Erik’s class. Erik raises his eyebrow expectantly. Peter wanted nothing more but to run away.
The bell rings.
Peter sighs in relief as Erik announces that class was dismissed and that they were free to go. He quickly packs his things up.
“Not you Peter. I would like to have a word with you.”
Peter stands frozen, staring at his chemistry textbook. He didn’t dare raise his head, even when the last person left the class; leaving Erik and Peter alone in the room. Peter glances at the door. He could run out in time.
“If you’re thinking of running off, I’ve bolted the door shut.”
Peter stares in disbelief at Erik Lehnsherr. Erik’s face was unreadable.
“I’m… I’m sorry sir but I… I have to get to the lab,” Peter says.
“Sit down Peter. I’ll tell Professor McCoy you’ll be a bit late.”
Peter obeys hesitantly. Erik pulls a chair and sits in front of the silver-haired boy.
“Is everything alright Peter?” He asks. His voice surprisingly soft. Peter gulps.
“I’m fine,” Peter answers, faking a smile.
“Don’t lie to me Mr. Maximoff.”
“I’m not-“
“Peter I’ve seen your grades for physics from before my time here. They were amazing. Yet when I’m here, your grades have dropped. You’ve fallen asleep in my class thrice already, and that’s only this week.”
Peter gulps. How the hell was he going to say that he couldn’t focus due to the fact he was too busy worrying about what Erik would think of him? He glances at the window. He could jump from it, it wouldn’t be the first time. If he ran from the door and jumped, with his superspeed, he would be fine.
“Ever since i’ve gotten here, you have been avoiding me. You rarely talk to me after class and don’t think I don’t notice you immediately changing your route when you see me.”
“I-”
“You see me as a murderer don’t you?”
“No! No, of course not!” Peter shouts, surprising both himself and Erik.
“Don’t lie to me!” Erik answers back. “Why else would you avoid me like the plague!”
“That doesn’t matter! You can’t just assume what I think!”
Peter didn’t know where this anger came from. It was some deep and hidden fury that laid siege in his heart. It was like a dragon that had slumbered peacefully in him but had been awoken abruptly.
“I saved your life back there in the Pentagon! Did you forget that!”
“Oh come on we all know Charles and the others were the one who managed to convince you!”
“CAN YOU STOP MAKING ASSUMPTIONS!” The voice rings around the empty classroom. Peter clenches his fist, staring defiantly at Erik. Erik’s eyes widen, not expecting the sudden outrage coming from the young boy.
“Peter I-“
“NO- WHY DO YOU KEEP ASSUMING HOW I FEEL? I KEEP AVOIDING YOU? YOU NEVER TRY AND TALK TO ME. I’VE FALLEN ASLEEP SO MANY TIMES IN YOUR CLASS AND YET THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU’VE ASKED ME WHY!”
“I… Peter what-“
“AND THATS ONLY BECAUSE OF CHARLES. I KNOW WHAT YOU CALL ME. A RAMBUNCTIOUS KID WHO RUNS ON IMPULSE!”
Erik’s eyes widen. How had he heard that? He remembered that conversation. He was talking to Charles in the garden. He didn’t know how but the topic of Peter Maximoff started. He didn’t know that Peter had heard that. He didn’t even mean it in a bad way. He liked the fact Peter was like that. It reminded him of his younger self. Was that why he felt a random gush of wind pass through the both of them after he had said that?
“I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY MY MOM DECIDED TO FALL FOR YOU! YOU’RE A TOTAL JERK!”
Peter didn’t realise the hot tears that had started to escape his eyes. He quickly gathers up his belongings. He slings his bag over his shoulder before walking his way to the door, tears rolling down his face. Erik was left speechless, opening the bolted door for Peter wordlessly.
Peter’s mom had fallen for him? Is that why he hadn’t been focusing in class? But how? He had never met the woman before? Hadn’t he?

Dadneto Headcanons because they deserved better
Writers note: Yall it’s dadneto because i don’t understand why they couldn’t just let them be happy- ERIK WOULDVE DROPPED EVERYTHING FOR HIS SON IN APOCALYPSE I JUST KNOW IT-
When Lorna comes around and tells Erik he’s her dad. He’s ecstatic and was amazing.
Peak dad man
Legit made so many dad jokes this man- I KNOW HE WOULD MAKE DAD JOKES LOOK AT HIM-
Peter may or may not be jealous…
Lorna is confused on why Peter is jealous.
She can definitely sense tension.
She ends up threatening Peter to get the info out.
She laughs so loudly when Peter confessed
Tries to help but then learns of the obliviousness of her father.
Erik is a very smart man, but he uses his heart instead of his head.
So his heart is telling him: nahhh he’s not my son.
Lorna and Peter are the chaos combo that make Erik STRESSED.
Look even if he weren’t their actual father he might as well be because he’s the one who had to try and reign them in.
Lorna and Peter ‘jokingly’ give him gifts on Father’s Day
Erik ‘jokingly’ uses his Number 1 Dad cup everyday.
Peter and Lorna ‘jokingly’ have his number saved as ‘Father’
Erik ‘jokingly’ has their number saved as chaos child 1 and chaos child 2
If Wanda is in the picture the Chaos Combo is complete.
Erik: I didn’t understand why people care so much for their dumb children until I got dumb children myself. I’ve only known them for a few days but if anything happens to them i’d kill everyone in this room and then myself.
ERIK AND KID!PETER HEADCANONS YALL
ERIK AND KID PETER. THATS ALL.
Alright so Erik learns about peter and has like split custody with Magda
Erik has referred to Peter as my sweet baby boy ITS CANON TO ME-
Peter wins all the ‘My dad could beat up your dad’
Even if he didn’t have a mutation Erik probably could beat all the other dads-
UNCLE CHARLES AND WINE AUNT RAVEN
Charles and Raven tells Peter embarrassing things his father has done.
Charles also tells him things they did when they were younger (Raven sticks with embarrassing stories)
Raven teaches him how to escape the law
Raven SHOWS HIM ALL THE GOOD MUSIC
Spends time at the mansion and is one of the first students to be enrolled at the school
ERIK MAKES DAD JOKES
ERIK COMES TO ALL HIS SPORTS EVENTS
Peter has been banned from all the running events because he beat everyone (obviously)
Erik to the other students and Charles: Sounds like a skill issue tbh-
Charles: ERIK THEY ARE 8
ERIK TUCKS PETER IN
ERIK TELLS HIM BEDTIME STORIES
ERIK TRIES TO BE THERE FOR PETER
ERIK BEING A GOOD FATHER
Promise
Summary: It's Erik's turn to take care of young Peter, but he's out on a business trip. Again. Warnings and whatnots: Kid!Peter. Dadneto. Not following original story. Eric is practically a diplomat. Charles and Raven being Peter’s unofficial guardians .
Charles stands uncomfortably in front of his best friend's ex's house. He already rung the doorbell, he could sense the disheveled woman nearing the door. He puts on an awkward smile as the door opens.
"Charles," She says, staring at the young man in front of her. "Erik's not here?" She asks, but before Charles could answer a small gust of wind came running up.
"Papa!" The voice says loudly, excitement and happiness practically bursting from the young silver haired boy. His demeanor immediately changed as he saw his father's best friend standing in front of the doorway. "Where's papa?"
Charles kneels down, facing the young boy who was hiding behind his mother's leg. "You're father is on a business trip right now... He'll be back in two days, so in that time your father asks your Aunt Raven and Uncle Charles to take care of you!" Charles says, smiling softly at the young boy. The boy mumbles an okay before letting go of his mother's pant leg and taking the hand of his father's best friend.
~
Erik hated his job. No, he despised it.
Ever since he got this bloody job, he had missed most if not all his time with Peter. This time it was no different. He was supposed to be in America, with Peter. Taking care of his only child and son. His only family. Yet here he was, in France in a dull meeting with some businessman.
The meeting was adjourned and he quickly gathered up his things and left the room. Not caring to speak nor network with the other people in the room. His grip on his briefcase tightens as he sees his boss' assistant leaning against the doorway. He approaches the woman, his face showing no emotion. She smiles at him.
"You will be very happy to hear what I have to say."
~
Peter laid down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. The door to his room opens and he sits up. A blonde woman stands in his doorway, a sympathetic smile etched on her face.
"Do you want to eat something, kid?"
Peter didn't respond, just shaking his head. Raven walks towards Peter, sitting down on the edge of his bed. "It'll be fine. In two days he'll be back."
"He's never here when I come here..." Peter mumbles. His eyes staring into Raven's. Her heart practically broke in half as she saw the broken look on the young boy's face. "Come here," She mutters to him, wrapping her arms around him. Peter sobs.
Raven knew that Erik wanted to see Peter but his work wouldn't allow it. She wished for once, that Erik could just come and comfort Peter.
~
Erik walks off the plane, a small smile on his face. Internally, he was bursting with happiness. His boss had let him go early. He could see Peter today. He could see his son today!
He walks over to his best friend who was standing near his car. He had called him the night before telling him about the news. He had planned out a whole day with Peter with Charles the night before. He hugged his best friend, smiling softly.
"Everything is running smoothly," Charles says, pulling back. Erik smiles. "Let's go. We should not be late."
~
Peter sits quietly in the passenger seat of Raven's car. "Where are we going, Auntie Raven?" He asks. Raven smiles, putting a finger to her lips.
"It's a secret." She smiles.
She pulls her car into the parking lot of a local diner. She leads a confused Peter into it, smiling to everyone in the diner.
"Hey speedy!" A familiar voice calls out to Peter, he looks up immediately catching the eye of his father. Peters mouth hung open before he ran up to the man. Erik sits shocked at the booth he was sitting at. He looks at Charles incredulously, before wrapping his arms about the young boy. He lifts up the young boy, seating him next to him.
Peter's lips quiver as he stares at Erik. He thought that Erik was going to not come home. He thought he wouldn't see him again.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying?" Erik asks, wiping the tears off his son's face.
"I thought you would never come... I thought you left me..." Peter mumbles into Erik's shirt. Erik stares down at Peter, his lips pursed as he looks at Charles. His eyes were tearing up.
Peter thought he would've left him. Peter thought he had abandoned him.
"I would never do that son. I would never leave you," Erik says, kissing the young boy's forehead.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
I think Magda maximoff needs more rep because I hardly ever hear of her in fics (dadneto or whatever)
She's literally pietro and wanda's mum. Raised two mutants by herself after immigrating to the US and probably having no/little money or education.
Big up my girl magda ! She's not just erik's ex-girlfriend !
While on Peacock+, I saw a James McAvoy project called My Son and the synopsis is about his 7 year old son being kidnapped. To me, it was like, that sounds like a Cherik and Quickson fic idea.
With both Charles and Erik being feral unstoppable dads getting their son back from presumedly Shaw.
OMG it so GOOD!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter seven is up!
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!!! 💕💕💕
-Superherotiger
Send me an ask about the backstory of any of my fics and I’ll ramble!! ✨
hm so you'll ramble about the wips that won't even be complete in 5+ years but you won't finish the luna fic? okay worm (I'm a hypocrite)
Me tryna find the third chapter of fault lines like:
You’re on THIN ice bestie, but I’ll never refuse a chance to ramble haha, especially if it’s about the Outsider POV!!
‘It’s A Quiet Starry Place’ is by far my favourite AU from all the dadneto fics I’ve written! It kills me that I haven’t been able to work on it lately because there is just so much to dig into with this concept, especially in regards to Luna! Like where do I even begin?
I knew from the start that Laura and Luna’s dynamic was going to be a core part of this story, and getting to explore the world through their eyes is as fascinating as it is challenging. Logan (the film not the character lol) did such a good job at showing Laura as this highly competent and dangerous mutant but also as an innocent, learning child. It’s an interesting balance, and trying to figure out what they do and don’t understand because of their upbringing is something I have to ask myself almost every moment while writing the fic (which is why it takes so long to write too XD).
And of course, it wouldn’t be one of my fics if dadneto and quickson wasn’t the star of the show! I think Luna’s POV provides one of the most interesting, layered and complex perspectives of Erik and Peter that I’m probably ever going to have to tackle in this AU. Not only does this installment hint to a lot of events that have happened in their past, but Luna’s introduction is one of the most contentious points in their whole relationship. It’s easy to see that Peter accepts her as his own daughter almost immediately, but there’s still so much guilt and shame there for not knowing and not being able to protect her that weighs on him. And when all Peter needs is support, Erik is too busy struggling with his own thoughts, because how could the humans have gotten their hands on their son’s DNA? How could a violation like that have happened without any of them knowing? Erik’s protectiveness over Peter blinds him to realising that Peter has willingly taken on the role as a father himself, and in response, Peter’s protectiveness over Luna bites back, putting them at odds. It’s such an interesting dynamic, and it’s the plotline I’m most looking forward to writing in the coming chapters (because they are coming, I promise- I PROMISE OKAY?!?!)!
Some other elements that I love to think about but don’t always get to touch on because it’s from Luna’s POV is how the other X-Men and Brotherhood members are feeling over having clone children, most of which died before even knowing they existed. Some are quick to consider them their child, like Avalanche and Jean, who clearly took it hard learning that their respective kids had died without ever getting to meet them. Others have more complicated feelings about it, like Sabretooth and Gambit, which we’ll get a glimpse of in the next chapter. Sabretooth especially is interesting I think, because given the chance, I think he would have tried to be a decent father, if only to say he was better at it than Logan hah. Since he never had that opportunity though, he finds it easier to pretend he never cared about his kid instead of admitting that he might be mad at himself for not saving them in time.
If any of you are wondering how much I’ve thought about this AU, there’s a 12 page document dedicated just to the timeline, and I also have a list of all 23 children in the X23 program and who they belonged to lol. So yes, this AU lives in my head rent free and refuses to get evicted hahah!
Thanks for letting me ramble about this AU on top of all the other times I’ve rotted to you about it bestie, I love you!

Send me an ask about the backstory of any of my fics and I’ll ramble!! ✨
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!!

Here comes the long awaited dadneto fic:
"This day couldn't get any worse. Except for the fact it keeps repeating. When will this stop?"
Peter is stuck in a time loop and the only thing that will get him out is telling Erik he is his son.
(let's pretend i posted it yesterday)
