X-Men Fic: Charles/Moira

I have written Charles/Moira fic. Why? Nobody knows.

Title: "Reinvention"
Fandom: X-Men (movieverse)
Characters/Pairing: Charles/Moira
Word Count: ~5700
Rating: R for sex, talk of sex, disturbing themes.
Warnings: Reference to domestic violence and sexual violence and ableist triggers. (This is the most heavily warned story I've ever written.)
Summary: Charles and Moira's arduous journey to sexual friendship.
A/N: This story comes from a desire to find some continuity between movieverse Moira and comicsverse Moira. To that end, I've spliced pieces of comicsverse backstory onto movieverse Moira. I lightened up her past of abuse a lot, yet it still manages to remain rather shocking.

5 –If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?

Never happened that I can recall. I answered this in number 4, so I'm going to blaze on to no. 6.

6 – When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?

Male characters, alas. I'm not doing the representation of women in fiction any great favors. (This is also true in my original writing.) There are some female characters I enjoy writing, and I hope I don't write female characters particularly stereotypically, but my focus is definitely on the men. Why? I think there are a few reasons: 1) there are more, better male characters out there (by far); 2) As a basically heterosexually oriented woman, I have a sex appeal factor involved; 3) "the other side of the fence"? I have to live as a woman, so men's experience is more of an escape and an interesting theoretical consideration for me; 4) related point: this allows me to explore my more masculine side; 5) there is no doubt I have been raised to value men more than women; this is sad but true, and fight it as I might, it's deeply if subtly ingrained.
