Distracted By Something Shiny

More Mistletoes fic! These prompts were all so great, you guys! Not quite done yet either! This one's for ceitfianna, who asked for Charles/Erik. I couldn't seem to not mix some angst in here, babe, but still sweet and all. It really is mostly all your fault that I love these two as hard as I do! Merry Christmas, darling! 757 words.

So this is the story I wrote for The Nephew, based off his first fanfic prompt ever! It was a challenge because I was trying to write an actual fanfic as well as something suitable for a five year. I couldn't get Charles and Erik's voices to come across in a way that The Nephew could relate to. And then I realized that was the problem - I was thinking of them as Charles and Erik and The Nephew knows them as Professor X and Magneto. The first thing I did was stop reading X-Men: First Class fanfic for the time frame in which I was working on this story and tried to capture something similar to the early 90's cartoon voices.

The idea for this story came from The Nephew's awesome cool mind and both Jean and Wolverine's methods of 'takedown'...totally his idea. Thanks to baylorsr for the beta and a million thanks to liptonrm for the art.

Not set in any specific universe, as I just wanted to use various characters The Nephew knows and loves. Rated PG, Altered-Reality, Action, Drama, Gen with Xavier, Wolverine, Jean Grey, Magneto, Sabretooth, Mystique, Pyro & Nightcrawler and some Mild Violence and Bank Robbing. 1,743 words.

Summary: Magneto is at it again and Xavier must stop him, but as always that pesky helmet is in the way.
