Title: The Centaur of Attention
Author: GQD, kageillusionz
Translator: 轩璘
Fandom: X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Rating: NC17
Characters/Pairings: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Summary:
Centuries ago, centauri and men warred over everything: territory, food, women, and above all else, love. At the height of the Wars, men discovered fire and gunpowder, where centauri, in turn, mastered archery and metalwork. Desolation and destruction reigned for hundreds of years. Humans were imprisoned. Centauri were captured. Both were enslaved until those with the courage to stand up and fight for what they believed in changed the course of the world forever.
Since then, centauri and men alike have learned to co-exist. Centauri are accepted everywhere that men are, building up a society that benefits from shared knowledge. However, traditional centauri are distrustful of everything man-made and continue to live in herds across the planet, preferring to live off the earth and hunt for their food. It is their way of life and it is one that is slowly dying out as the young seek opportunities in the built great cities.
This is the tale of Erik, leader of the Lehnsherr herd, navigating the pitfalls of modern day as he learns how to become a sociable centaur in order to woo his beloved Doctor Charles Xavier after a fateful meeting brings them together.

First and foremost thanks to GQD for putting up with me! I couldn*t have done this without you.
Thanks also to ang3lsh1 and ourgirlfriday for consistently harassing me to write and providing word wars; imasyon and traumschwinge for providing both French and German translations for things; ebonytavern for doing a final read through. Any lingering mistakes are my own.
