Title: Consequence
Fandom: X-men: Days of Future Past
Rating: G
Length: 100
Content notes: none
Author notes: not a ghostly haunting, this might possibly have taken place immediately after the movie in the 1970s timeline
Summary: Charles had not anticipated this



Charles is a rational man, and rational men cannot be haunted. He sees no apparitions, nothing moves untouched. (Not even things he wishes would move, flesh and metal, touched or untouched.) Disembodied voices? He’s a bloody telepath. Again. The sense that someone is constantly, invisibly present baffled him as a child, {{Kurt says Brian's gone but he's always here, watching me until I drink him away}}, but now it’s vividly real. If he’d understood the consequences of pushing so deeply into that barbed, terrifying (fascinating, beloved) mind... but he’d no choice, had he? Unseen and unwanted (liar), Erik is everywhere.

Thank you! So much more could be done with the idea. If I'm lucky someone will remix this (or start over!). Expansion is very hard for me.

Me, too! I'm always terrified I won't be able to make a drabble come together at all. As well, this feels like it should be bigger, should follow the implications, but I'm unlikely to do it.

Thank you!
