x-men first class fic: carpe brewski, chapter ten [erik/charles, R]

Right, so, if I was going to apologize for everything I want to apologize for here, I would have to start with HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO WRITE THIS DAMN CHAPTER JESUS and then, uh, the list would go on for awhile. Suffice to say that I'm sorry. I really, really am.

As ever, this is for postcardmystery, who, guys, I cannot explain the degree to which this story would not exist without Postcard. In fact, I'm 85% sure that I would not exist without Postcard, since I would've vanished into the ether of my own insanity long ago.
