    Summary

    Saying “I’m sorry I kissed you just because my girlfriend told me to, and I’m sorry I kept doing it, and I’m sorry I actually really enjoyed it.  I knew I should stop; but I think the acid started hitting me early, because I really couldn’t.  Thank you for going along with it.  You’re a good kisser, by the way.  Please don’t hate me forever,” was not something Paul Baker felt capable of at the moment.

    OR

    What if Paul Baker and Anton got paired together in the "Room Swap" Episode, and also Paul Baker was stupid.

    Summary

    There were lots of things that Agent Curt Mega knew how to do.

    He knew how to fire a gun, how to angle his forearm so that the kick of the bullet discharging didn’t feel like a sucker punch to the shoulder.

    He knew how to exude confidence with a wide-legged stance, how to lean against the counter of the corner store, how to shake hands with a firm, almost arrogant gesture.

    He knew how to flirt. How to raise an eyebrow, how to make his eyes linger for just a second too long and let the girl catch him looking. How to twitch the side of his mouth upwards like he couldn’t help smiling.

    So yes. Curt Mega knew how to do many different things.

    He had no clue how to act around Owen Carvour.

    ***

    Or, how Curt and Owen come together in fits and starts.

    Summary

    This fic was written for the following prompt:
    November 1963: A nationwide manhunt is underway for the man suspected of killing the president. But said man manages to evade the feds in his roundabout route to North Salem, New York – where he knocks on the door of a former friend, who only hesitates for a moment before he lets him in.
    Charles (who here is long before the decline depicted in DOFP and is preparing to open the school) is deeply hurt seeing Erik again: he won't leave him to be captured, but he doesn't really want him in his house, either. Erik is torn between gratitude for the protection, anger over (in his view) being dumped by Charles, and guilt over Charles's accident. (Note: Accident aside, would love if this isn't framed around Charles "forgiving" Erik for his views or actions on the beach, as often happens in reconciliation fics. :-/)
    How do they find their way to some kind of understanding – and eventually, a true reunion?

    For five months, the rules work perfectly.

    Then they stop working all at once.
