Summary
Need a date for Thanksgiving? Mad at your dad? I am a 28-year-old felon with no high school degree, and a dirty old van one year younger than me covered in graffiti. I can play anywhere between the ages of 25 and 35 depending on if I shave. I’m a line cook and work late nights at a bar. If you’d like to have me as your strictly platonic date for Thanksgiving, but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship with you, to torment your family, I’m game.

Summary
Erik Lehnsherr, the junior senator from New York, is a once-in-a-generation political wunderkind. There are even murmurs of a potential bid for President. But at 34, as a young, unmated Alpha, even his most fervent supporters are wary. Finding a bondmate would give him a far greater air of credibility. But dating as a well-known politician is public relations nightmare waiting to happen with no guarantee of finding the right person. Raven, Erik’s campaign manager, has a solution: her brother, Charles Xavier.
Charles has finally found his niche, researching genetic mutations in relative anonymity. Then he gets a call from his sister asking an impossibly huge favor. He's the ideal politician’s mate, but having fled that life years ago, he has little interest in politics or returning to the pretentious, exclusionary upper echelon he loathed during his childhood.
When the two finally meet, sparks immediately fly, making it the perfect pairing of convenience. But it’s more than a question of chemistry. They have to survive the media, the tabloids, and the political opponents who’d love nothing more than to take them down.

Summary
The aftermath of 'Turn off the light':
When people say that you see the light when you meet death, they should really say that when you die you take the light with you. Because Charles was dead, and suddenly everything was dark, and yet some things were made clear. In the darkness, the people left behind realise what it really means when they say to not take anything for granted. They realise their mistakes, their biases, the hurt that they unwittingly conjured - and what really hurts is that they only realised once it was too late. The light had already been turned off and taken away, and there was no power in the world that could turn it on again.

Summary
For some reason, people thought that Charles's telepathy was like turning a light on and off. That, if he wanted to rummage around someone's head, he would just flick a switch and dive in to his heart's content, and once he was done, he could tug on the switch and be just like everyone else.
But telepathy wasn't like a light to be turned on and off. It was more akin to breathing. Charles could hold his breath for a short while, but there was really only one way to stop breathing completely, wasn't there?
So, like that, Charles turned off the light.
