Title: Not In The Stars, But In Ourselves
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Characters: Charles/Erik
Rating: teen
Length: ~1800 words
Content notes: Bickering!
Author notes: For the "trapped" challenge on fan_flashworks, and "futurefic" on my trope_bingo card. :)
Summary: Charles and Erik find themselves locked in a cell together, with no metal and no other minds nearby. There's not much to do but talk... and possibly cuddle for warmth.

( ''This is not,'' Charles says archly, ''how I wanted to spend the weekend.'' )
