Comments: It's a kinkmeme fill, and so the summary is mostly made up by me. The four (four!) stars should really show just how good this fic is. It's a dark, and fucked up in a lot of ways (which is why it's good, for me at least) but damn there are many, many beautiful parts of this. Just,, give it a shot, please?

- Rumor Mill by ikeracity ❤❤❤
Rating: Gen
Words: 7,861
Pairing: Erik/Charles, slight Hank/Raven, Alex/Hank
Summary: Erik is the grumpiest, most foul tempered worker at Stark industries. His grumpiness is the stuff of legends.
So it's obviously the talk of the office when Erik is being made to go to the company party and he's bringing his husband. There's rumors flying round about how much of a masochist or equally antisocial bastard Erik's husband must be to put up with him. Others think he must be a meek mouse perhaps bullied by Erik.
What they weren't expecting was the confident, charming, adorable and unbelievably nice Charles that turns up on Erik's arm. What they certainly weren't expecting was how much Erik obviously adores his husband and how happy he is to let others see this.

Comments: I love fics with single father!Erik, he makes quite an interesting father. Erik is initially an ass in this fic. Sure, he loves his children, but he can't really raise them well, and his treatment towards Charles at first is downright unacceptable. He did learn how to be better, and Charles stepped up and dang, I love this fic to bits.

One day when Charles isn't really thinking (or maybe he is and he is genuinely confused over why everyone else thinks its not so great advice because thats what he was taught) about it he gives horrible advice or does something that makes it painfully obvious how wrong his childhood was.
