Title: Where There Are Still Gods
Author: helens78
Reader: helens78
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Pairing: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Rating: teen
Word count: 1622
Summary: Erik comes from a broken world, eight years after a dark night in the water just outside Florida. He'll do anything to make sure that future doesn't come to pass.
Notes: For the fan_flashworks "Do Over" challenge. Darkness, death, dystopian themes.
Dystopian!Erik comes back to XMFC!Florida and prevents XMFC!Charles from saving XMFC!Erik in the water (meaning XMFC!Erik dies). XMFC!Erik is able to destroy the submarine, which leads to the deaths of Shaw, Frost, and Riptide. Almost everyone in Dystopian!Erik's timeline is already dead, including Charles.
There are a Charles and an Erik still left standing at the end of the fic, but there are many character deaths!
