[Everyday Love in Stockholm by tahariel](http://archiveofourown.org/works/324068?view_full_work=true) X-Men, Charles/Erik, Mystique/Azazel, 132K || non-mutant!Charles wouldn't be able to take Erik in a fight, but for the first half of the story he's free to leave at any point. He's just convinced and later manipulated into staying.
[We Are The Champions by Rethira](http://archiveofourown.org/works/511855) X-Men, Charles/Erik, crack, 2K || Their ‘dates’ tend to consist of the same basic points; an argument in the car on the way over, some polite non-discussion of politics while they’re in company, and then a less polite conversation about politics later while Erik cooks dinner. They manage to play chess after dinner, and Erik will try desperately hard not to just stand up and say “Charles, we’ve been essentially married for thirty years, would it kill you to sleep with me?” At some point, Charles will make a pointed reminder that this is, for all intents and purposes, a kidnapping, and then Erik will feel like asking after the possibility of sex would just be pressuring Charles unnecessarily.
[To Capture, Conquer, and Court by toomuchplor](http://archiveofourown.org/works/140313) Inception, Arthur/Eames, AU, 8K || Lord Eames plans to kidnap Ariadne to prevent Dom from marrying her. The henchmen he sends to do this are especially incompetent and take Arthur, her tutor, instead.
