@penumbra • his buttercup. Denali is his daughter through and through. his grounding force. he spoils her endlessly, and never tells her no. ever since she was a young girl, Erik has been attatched to Denali, protecting her every moment he can. even when he left, he told Zeppelin to watch over the girl and tell him if anything went wrong. Erik is the first to take her shopping, tuck her in, kiss her head, hold her hand, etc. they found family in eachother, father and daughter until the end.

@zooming • Erik didn't know Peter was his son until recently. Peter constantly makes Erik gain new grey hairs, and makes him hurt his eyes from how much he rolls them while in Peter's company, but in the end he's elated to have a son. to have family. he'd never admit it but he'd die for Peter, and he couldn't ask for a better son.

@telepathic • Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr. the two names fit together nicely. they'd been through hell and back. the two were closer than ever, hell, they've been in eachother's minds (mostly). they've fought, and they've made up, and repeated the cycle. yet Charles was one of the first people who taught Erik how to trust, and love those around him again. and most importantly, how to forgive.

@necromancer • Erik and Zeppelin's relationship is complicated to say the least. he appreciates her love for Denali, and her care for Peter and her help at Xavier's school. But he can't help but feel a slight anger and protectiveness over Peter since she's dating his only son. a very "have him home before eight" type situation.
