My parents died too...

Illustration made for For a Hundred Thousand Reasons [link] by hardlyabird & pocky_slash

Erik's sitting in the rocking chair next to Raven's crib. Raven is gathered in his arms, awake and quiet, but her sniffling and wet eyes give away the tears that Charles must have slept through. She's looking at Erik raptly, possibly because Erik is talking to her.

Everything parent!Erik/toddler!Raven do is adorable but this scene was just amazing. The sudden empathy towards Raven and similar issue that the two are struggling with are is real tear jerker. The picture itself is probably my second favorite of them all. Since I am awful at drawing rocking chairs I resorted to tracing one heh
