Why This Must Be Read: 1945-1995: History, and loving two men, shape the girl Raven into the woman Mystique. I believe someone from last month's special requests wanted Raven/Eric, and I just stumbled upon this awesome fic that does a great job of exploring Raven's relationship with both Eric and Charles, and it's lengthy and wonderfully in character. The author did a great job of fleshing out Raven/Mystique's character progression throughout the years, and how her relationship with each man was differing.
