After the breakup of his marriage, Erik Lehnsherr just wants to survive life as a single parent. Just when all seems lost, Charles Xavier comes into his life and changes everything. NOTE: E/C later on; current Erik/Magda. Warnings: drinking and cursing. Rating will later be changed to M. AU: modern setting, still powered. Other characters: Magda, Wanda, and Azazel.

Sometimes things have to break even when we don't want then to. This is after FC, but before DOFP. There's brief mention of Cherik, alcoholism, and cursing. Contains spoiler if you haven't seen DOFP yet.
