Fic Post: Reciprocating Ciphers

Title: Reciprocating Ciphers
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: PG-13 (ish?)
Word Count: ~1,200
Summary: The rise and fall of stubborn feelings in words.
Author's Note: This is mostly because NyQuil hates me. If you haven't read The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan you should. Partially because it's beautiful and partially because it's his style I've aped for this. Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] kyasuriin for helping with the title and to [livejournal.com profile] pocky_slash for being herself. It should be obvious that this is Erik's point of view, but just in case....

ExpandThat is still how I see you, even when we're at each other's throats. In turns in my memory you are serious and open and warm. You are the embodiment of some private joke whose punchline I've long forgotten. )
