Woo hoo! I knew you'd love this one as much as I did.
Raven: amen, amen, amen. Like I told you, I want all the Raven & Charles fic even more than I did the last time around. Also now I can understand why in the original timeline Mystique did what she did in X1 and X2 re: Charles (after getting experimented on by Trask), while being sure she wouldn't in the new timeline (hence alive Jean and Scott).
re: 1973 Charles - well, I'm sure he listened to The Doors as well as to Pink Flyod, but yes, needed a good shake as well as a hug. :)
Oh, Hank. You are an amazing student friend boyfriend person. And also an awful enabler. (Not that I am blaming you, given what you have going on at this point in your life.)
My thoughts precisely. And lo, lonelywalker just posted a lovely Hank/Charles tale that captures all of this beautifully.
JFK's mutant power: that seems to be the popular guess. Did brother Bobby have one, too, I wonder?
re: Mystique aging more slowly, doesn't Hank say as much in First Class?
What made Charles shape up again in the original timeline: methinks a combination of things - the war was over, hence return of some students and teachers, Raven killed someone live on tv, and he may have tried in vain to find her, and possibly the drug stopped working anyway.
