    Summary

    To his absolute horror, the deadbolt on the kitchen door turns on its own. Peter watches in slow motion as the door creeps open and a figure appears on the other side, decked out in a trench coat and fedora like some sort of private detective.

    Peter’s father steps through the threshold.

    Peter’s standing there like an idiot with sticky fingers, brandishing a steak knife at him.

    Peter’s father—Erik—notices this and stares at him, shocked. Peter is glad at this moment to have one-upped the man, but that’s quickly overridden by the emotional weight of the fact that his dad is standing right there, not ten feet from him. And Peter’s kinda threatening him with a weapon. A metal one. His dad, the terrorist, the guy who can move metal. Metal that belongs to the knife. The knife which Peter holds. Iron in the air, blood in his mouth (maybe for real this time).

    Peter drops the knife as if it were burning him, and it clatters to the ground.

    -

    Rising anti-Mutant sentiments—especially in the D.C. area—have made Peter’s mother decide that sending him away would be the safest thing for him, especially considering his involvement in breaking Magneto out of prison.

    Summary

    "You, you little devils, get to break into the Pentagon," the druggie says, rubbing his eyes.

    Now, Peter knows his twin isn't the biggest fan of high-strung, completely illogical, dangerously illegal activities.

    But wherever one Maximoff twin goes, the other follows. It's rule #2, after all.

    Plus, Kako has to pay penance for liking Batman over Flash somehow.

    Or: Instead of a teenage Quicksilver to break Erik Lehnsherr out of the Pentagon, Logan instead has two twelve-year-olds in a trenchcoat.

    Summary

    Charles has been talking to a guy on the Mutant & Proud dating site for the last two months. He's fairly certain he's being catfished because the guy's profile picture is Erik Lehnsherr, famous actor and A-list celebrity, but he's enjoying their conversations all the same.

    Never in a million years would he ever imagine that he's actually been flirting with Erik Lehnsherr, and that Erik Lehnsherr is actually into him. Because that would never, ever happen in real life...right?

    Summary

    "You really grew up like this," Erik asked, sounding somewhere between disbelief and discontent. Guilt churned in Charles's stomach, and he really couldn't think of anything to say that would ease those feelings, so he just nodded, crossing his arms over his chest. He didn't want to cross the threshold back into that house, and being stared at by Erik was much more preferable to most things as it was. Attempting to sneak at glance at his friend beside him, it became obvious that Erik was doing the same as their eyes locked. There was a small upturn at the right corner of Erik's mouth, and something warm broke through his surface thoughts. The word 'friend' floated through his mind, and suddenly Charles was matching his small smile. "Are we not going to go inside?"

    ----------

    Charles and Erik wind up accidentally playing house more often than not, and whether or not they admit it, they both enjoy it. Sneaking stolen time around training, their relationship develops and changes over talks and chess games and whatever else they can share.

    Summary

    Aziraphale susses out Crowley's pre-Fall identity, as the Archangel Raphael. With this, he must rethink everything he thought he knew about the last six thousand years, about his own identity and his friend's, and even the Ineffable Plan. There is a fight, expressions of fear and hurt, reconciliation, yearning and confusion, and the sorts of questions that by all rights should cause an angel to Fall.

    Also, at one point, Crowley admits he once lied about breeding rats for demonic ends.
