[X-Men: First Class]

[brooms]

i've been almost exclusively into this fandom for over a year and in my experience, as far as fic goes (a03/lj), there are more happily ever after cutesy AUs than anything else.

ymmv on the cringeworthy-ness of these, tho.

[habilelapin]

Some don't suck. A lot do though, not going to lie.

[menage]

I just got into this fandom and I quite love it! :)

[intrigueing]

Don't worry, if you're gonna hate it, you're gonna hate it for being too cutesy, not too wangsty. But I don't see why you would unless you are either a cold-hearted bore or have no sense of humor or appreciation for crack, because the Charles/Erik fandom, and the XMFC fandom in general, can basically be summed up by this lengthy and glorious gif:

[(Anonymous)]

oh my god this is literally like every fic i've read on tumblr haha
i mean i love them in their own cracky way but damn is this covers all their silly tropes

[anonymouslyyours]

Yeah. I can think of a fic or two for each of those frames. Best summation ever.

[elaminator]

Lmao, this is pretty much my favorite gif ever. It sums up the First Class fandom very well. And I agree that if angst isn't your cup of tea, there's plenty of other things to read.

[deadtree]

LOL dead here



...and yeah, Charles does spend an INORDINATE amount of time preggers.

[(Anonymous)]

This is the most the most accurate summarization of anything ever, seriously, it should be used as an example in academia. Erik's "Goddammit" face gets me every time.

[dancing_serpent]

OMG, I hate gifs so much, but this is just awesome! Sums up my XMFC reading experience 100% *g*

[wauwy]

lol this is literally amazing.

[elialshadowpine]

*dies laughing*

[agentcthulhu]

This. This is wonderful.

[veronica_rich]

XMFC fic summaries FTW

[brooms]

hooking you up with someone else's happy endings recs poast to get u started, op!!

What you will not find here: Unhappy endings. Here's hoping that none of the WIP fic writers turn me into a liar. *fingers crossed* I like living in the land of Denile just fine, thank you very much. Beach!divorce? What beach!divorce? LALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALALA.

i can't really confirm if these are all quality recs bc i have terrible memory, op, BUT BE ADVENTUROUS!!

[(Anonymous)]

It's a legitimate fear, considering that was my experience. Yours might be different, though.

[vesiel]

Nah. XMFC is one of the better fandoms I've been in. I've met some cool people through it.

Yes, some of the fanworks suck, but that's true of any fandom with a decent population. Because of how the film ended, there's a ton of AU out there, so... your mileage may vary on that end...

[(Anonymous)]

the newer fics on ao3 have a lot of AU, so you'll probably have to go back to the earlier stuff.

(I just read fic, i'm not that active in fandom, so i can't say i've encountered any madness. it's not that bad, op.)

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

fear not, OP. Dive in! If you don't find the corner of fandom you land in to your taste, you can either branch out or abandon ship but I doubt it will OMG RUIN EVERYTHING for you. It's a fun, squeeful fandom!

[la_petite_singe]

Personally, I found a good deal of the XMFC fic, especially the Charles/Erik stuff, to be tremendously well-done and often funny as well as heartbreaking (and not in a cutesy way, always), but I am possibly biased.
