Summary: The story of Charles’s proposal to Erik will never fail to make Charles blush. Erik summarizes it as, “He literally threw the ring at me,” to which Charles will always protest, “There’s more to the story than that!”

Rumor Mill verse backstory. How Charles and Erik got engaged.

This is a prequel of sorts to Rumor Mill, which in itself is one of my favourite fics and I would rec to death - but I think it’s a fine standalone too!
