    Summary

    Erik wonders, then, hand flush against Charles’ spine between his shoulder blades, which of them has the wings, and who’s the sun. 

    Charles laughs, easily plucking the thought from his mind, “That’s easy, darling.”

    He leans forward, presses a soft kiss to his forehead, and repeats the words that clung to his mind barely a week ago:

    “ὄπταις ἄμμε, you burn me.”

    (Or: In which Charles is a Professor with a penchant for quoting Sappho, and Erik is in need of his expertise to track down Schmidt.)

    Summary

    On the slopes of Nanga Parbat - the 'Killer Mountain' - in 1936, two rival expeditions race for glory - one led by Charles Xavier, a young English idealist, the other by Sebastian Shaw, backed by Nazi ambition.

    For Charles Xavier, the climb is meant to be a monument to curiosity and courage. For Erik Lehnsherr, an exiled German engineer, it’s a test of endurance - and a reckoning with the ghosts of his past.

    High on the Rakhiot Face, amid storms, rivalries, and avalanches, the two men begin to see each other clearly for the first time - not as adversaries, but as equals bound by the same fragile rope.

    A story of survival over glory, of awe and terror in thin air, and of love found at the edge of the world.

    Erik says, “Charles, are you close?”

    Charles raises his head. “Why?” There is a note of amusement in his voice. “Are you bored?”

    Summary

    "What is a marriage but a promise between two people, to each other?" Charles says. "Why does anyone else need to be involved? If you love each other enough, why do you need approval from anyone or any god to swear your lives to each other?"
