Fic Writing and Hardcore Justice 2011

Oh X-men First Class fic, one day you will be finished to my satisfaction. I know what the problem is - why, oh why am I writing Xavier-centric fic? I can write him later on (X1-3), when he's become more guarded and hardened, but First Class Charles, he's all, well I don't want to say soft because the squishiness is the source of his strength (Eric, because he's all sharp and go forward, can be deflected, Charles just marshmallows past problems). And it's almost impossible to write because it's all clouds and wisps and, pray tell, short of the occasional, unspeakble OCC, ten paragraph long excursion into the exact blue of James McAvoy's eyes (very, very, like the sea off Connemara), and the way he glows with happiness and sadness, and that I have no idea how other character's can hurt Xavier because while I might want to shake him by the shoulders, it's like kicking a puppy. A particularly boisterous puppy, given to bad pick up lines.
