Fics like All Our Shadows

Edwardian London, 1905. The Veil between worlds is thinning, and the city’s fog hides more than smoke. Its fragile defence rests on a mismatched band of seers and augurs, fighters and misfits, scholars with ink-stained hands — an odd company willing to face what creeps in on Whitehall’s behalf. At its heart is Charles Xavier: brilliant, magnetic, arrogant enough to believe that charm and clever words can hold a crumbling peace together. But when glamour coils through music halls and the Underground, it draws the notice of Detective Inspector Erik Lehnsherr of Scotland Yard — Jewish, blunt, iron in his hands and in his temper, with a hatred of injustice sharp enough to cut through centuries of lies. What Erik finds is a Concord cracking apart: Whitehall compromised, the Courts circling, conspirators already feeding on London. Charles, for the first time, sees how fragile his lifework truly is - and how much they may lose if they fail. London is bleeding. Peace was never an option. But perhaps something better might be.
