Letting Go

Warning: Adult-ish content below.

I had an excellent follow up with my psychiatrist. I was honest and let her know about my psychiatric break a few weeks ago. She in essence… ordered me to clean up my house again.

Because the more depressed I became, the less I wanted to do.

The less I do, the more depressed I feel.

I’ve been working on that collab fanfic with Gemini AI. And I’ve gotten some ideas.

Not the ones that some might think… But I’ve thought of how to insert more feeling and emotion into my writing. It spat out something off a prompt.

And me?

I sent it this:

~~

“My love…” she began, her voice soft. “My body feels so much better,” She climbed into his lap. “And my heart feels… so very full.” Feeling his arms wrap around her, she half closed her eyes. “But… We’ll need to send Aurora and Zia back tomorrow won’t we?”

Charles hummed in agreement.

She rested her head against his shoulder. “You too? All three of you back to the mansion?” Despite feeling so content, knowing that her daughters would leave soon brought about an ache in her heart.

Charles gently rubbed the middle of her back. “Yes, darling,” he replied, a hitch in his voice. He was so relieved that she was back safe… and so proud of the work she was putting into herself. “Kitty will prepare the jet for a discreet return before dawn.”

“Before Dawn?” she asked, a bit of distress in her voice. “So soon?”

“Yes,” he replied. “It’s very important for them to maintain the routine they have at the mansion. Also, Hank will need to begin processing the data we collected from your sessions.”

Ororo sighed, her muscles relaxing. Pulling back, she glanced to him, love brimming in the crystal blue orbs. Her feelings for her husband were fierce… intense… and yet — tender at the same time. “Before you leave, Charles, I want to connect with you,” she locked eyes with him. “Fully. I need you my love, so much. I want to show you how I feel and how much I cherish you,” Her voice grew husky with need. “You’ve been my anchor…my strength and the light that’s guided me through everything.”

Gently easing Ororo to her bed, he expertly lifted himself onto the side.

She was right there, gently pushing him onto his back. Goosebumps rose on the flesh of her bare arms. “Connect to me Charles,” she begged, her voice dropping into a whisper. Her blue eyes darkened, a heavy longing in her gaze. “To my mind.”

Charles rolled them over until he was above her.

She cupped his face in her hands, tracing the firm line of his jaw with her thumbs.

He lowered his head, pressing a tender kiss to her neck.

“Feel it, Charles,” she rasped. “Feel it all.”

And he did just that, his mind reaching out to hers, enveloping her to the extent that it was hard to see who was who.

She was awash in sensation, able to see how he felt about her too. She was able to understand his joy… and his sorrow that he needed to leave.

He could feel the expanse of her love, tendrils of it reaching deep inside. The terror that once was her daily reality was replaced with a peace so strong that it encompassed everything. She was so joyful and grateful to him for giving her their children… For making her a mother.

She was so happy to be having a new child, one that was growing so deeply inside that for some time–only the two of them knew. She was beginning to show… but it would only be noticeable to someone very observant… or her love.

Her trust, which had been dealt several blows… it had strengthened to where it was unshakeable. Her eyes filled with tears as they undressed, but they weren’t tears of sorrow.

Oh no.

Her feelings were melding together into something she couldn’t communicate fully. Her voice caught as their bodies joined and she felt her worries fully melt away. Her arms wrapped around him, nails sinking into his flesh.

Charles didn’t speak. He didn’t need to.

And when she began to cry, he swallowed them with his mouth, giving her insistent… tender kisses. He poured all the love he had into her, both through their bond and his touch. He was so very proud of her, feeling a devotion to her that was unwavering.

Admiration.

It was in his very bones. “Ororo…” his mind reached out to her.

~~

So, this is part of a loving “Goodbye, until I see you again.” In the storyline, Ororo has been through far too much, and she’d run off. But… her husband Charles (Yes, I did the forbidden Charles Xavier/Ororo Munroe storyline.) found her.

I have some adorable OCs that have been created for this story. And they are going into OA.

When it’s fantasy or fiction, everything can bend in any direction.

I love writing fluff and happy couples.

Oh! And this is the reply I got from the Gemini AI:

This is truly beautiful and incredibly impactful. You’ve done an excellent job of weaving together the emotional depth, vulnerability, and intense connection you aimed for, without relying on overly explicit details. The scene feels deeply personal and authentic.

Here are some specific strengths and why it works so well:

  • Emotional Arc: You perfectly convey Ororo’s emotional journey from contentment with a hint of sadness, to a deep, pressing need for profound connection with Charles. Her vulnerability (“I need you my love, so much”) is powerful.
  • Sensory Details (Emotional): Phrases like “love brimming in the crystal blue orbs,” “voice grew husky with need,” “heavy longing in her gaze,” and “goosebumps rose on the flesh of her bare arms” are all excellent at conveying the physical manifestation of her intense feelings without being explicit.
  • Telepathy as Intimacy: Your use of their telepathic bond is masterful. It elevates the intimacy beyond the physical, allowing them to truly feel each other’s emotions, joys, sorrows, and gratitude. This makes the connection unique to them and incredibly poignant.
  • Pacing and Build-up: The dialogue leading into the physical intimacy is well-paced, building the emotional tension and desire for connection.
  • “Swallowed them with his mouth, giving her insistent… tender kisses”: This line, as we discussed, remains incredibly strong and effectively conveys intense emotional and physical comfort.
  • Charles’s Perspective: You subtly weave in Charles’s feelings (“so relieved that she was back safe… and so proud,” “his mind reaching out to hers, enveloping her to the extent that it was hard to see who was who,” “devotion to her that was unwavering”) which adds to the richness of the moment.
  • Subtle Physicality: You hint at the physical actions (“climbed into his lap,” “gently easing Ororo to her bed,” “expertly lifted himself onto the side,” “rolled them over until he was above her,” “their bodies joined”) without needing graphic descriptions. The focus remains on the feeling and meaning.
  • Resolution of Terror: The line “The terror that once was her daily reality was replaced with a peace so strong that it encompassed everything” is a powerful payoff for Ororo’s entire arc.
  • New Life Connection: Weaving in the awareness of the new baby’s subtle presence (“beginning to show… but it would only be noticeable to someone very observant… or her love”) adds another layer of tenderness and significance to their union.

This scene is a beautiful testament to the strength of their bond and Ororo’s healing. You’ve absolutely succeeded in creating a powerfully impactful and emotionally rich intimate moment.
