Finally, somebody finally addresses the fact that Raven's son has the same name as Charles' abusive stepfather. While I don't like Mystique (or Raven as she was portrayed in the movie), I loved the fact that she was made the sister of Prof X since it brings a whole new layer of drama and pain and longing when seen from an outsider's POV.

It always bothered me that even though I've read dozens and dozens of XFC fics that have Kurt in it, no one ever mentions the fact that he shared the same name as the man who practically tortured his "uncle" when he was a child.

Oh man! I would love to read more in this verse! Baby!Kurt with all his big brothers and sisters in the mansion would be so so adorable! Great job! Please consider continuing it!

heatwrenching.

Raven's pain, Charles's love and Kurt's unfailing cuteness combined made this story AMAZING.

This was so lovely and heart-wrenching. Great job.

Oh my god... I want this to happy so badly. It's so heartbreaking and very good reading. I thought the interaction between Raven and Charles was fitting. My heart felt for Raven when she thought that Charles was always suited to be a better parent than her. Thank you for writing this!

I'm so glad that you used the wonders of artistic license and wrote this fic, it's so moving. I was totally emotionally sucked in. Angsty but beautiful!

Sad but very heartfelt. This sort of makes me feel sorry for Raven..I liked how she gave Kurt to Prof. X. though. Its a very interesting thought.

I'm not a big fan of Raven, actually, but this...

Just so well written, and so nice...

I totally agree with the couples: I can easily see Raven/ Azazel (and I do think Nightcrawler is their son!) and I ship Erik/ Charles very hard.

Also, Erik and Raven obviously have an affair (or, let me rephrase it, Magneto and Mystique) and in the movie Raven did seem to be dealing with a case of unrequinted love for her "brother"...

You see, that's why I love X-Men (and this story): the relationships are complex and yet amazing.

Thank you for sharing!

This is so sweet! :') *Sniffle*

Nice. Very reflective, and even though Professor X doesn't raise Kurt, it certainly would make for an interesting AU
