To see for the first time (opened up my eyes) - Chapter 1 - Skoll - X-Men: First Class (2011) [Archive of Our Own]

Some problems, only telepaths ever have. - In which Charles falls in love with Erik whilst falling overboard, misreads Erik's mind once, and is far more respectful of Erik's mental privacy than anyone else realizes in the aftermath. (Or: In which months of sexual tension occur because the boys are idiots.) Notes: So, this....I have no excuse for this. This started off as my explanation of why Charles suddenly becomes socially inept when he can't/won't read someone's mind, and turned into a 10k fix-it lovesong to Erik Lensherr that still isn't finished. At this point, I'm giving up pretending this fic isn't eating my soul and just posting it. A thousand thanks go, as ever, to my long suffering-beta, who, despite not being in this fandom, listened to the ridiculously long rant that kicked this off, and read over all the ensuing fic. You're the very best, darling. Two scenes, rather early in this fic, contain dialog thieved directly from the movie. I couldn't resist, but I'm not claiming ownership in any way.
