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.

Summary
For the prompt:
“Emperor Sebastian Shaw secretly orders the death of his General Erik Lehnsherr and his family, but Erik survives and is sold as a gladiator. He wants nothing more than revenge. Charles Xavier intends to use him to topple the emperor. He doesn’t intend to fall in love.”
General Erik Lehnsherr should have died when Emperor Shaw destroyed his family.
Instead, he survived long enough to be sold into the arena, where vengeance became the only thing keeping him upright.
Charles Xavier has spent two years quietly building a coup beneath Rome’s marble streets. When he finds Erik alive, he sees a weapon he can use - and a man he did not expect.
Erik wants to kill the emperor.
Charles wants to topple him.
Neither intends to fall into the dangerous gravity of the other.
A Roman political romance about loyalty, justice, bruised hope, and the unexpected places freedom begins.- Language:

Summary
When words are not enough to express the stifling feeling that consumes us, gifts are used as a mild help; a gesture of affection. Erik Lehnsherr had never been good at verbally expressing his feelings, and he found the perfect solution within a few blocks of his work, in a small blue covered flower shop with its name carved into an iron plate. The Xavier's Flower Shop.
(Based on a Tumblr Prompt: Person A owns a flower shop and Person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says "How do I passive aggressively say fuck you in flower?”)
