X-Men Movieverse: We Are the Future

I didn't need a new fandom. Then I saw X2, and all was lost. I'm still largely in denial about X3, and most of these stories don't reference X3 canon.

Warning: Many of these stories are slash, i.e., deal with homosexual relationships. Stories marked "NC-17" contain explicit sex. If either one offends you, or is illegal for you to read, please go read something else.


Stories based on X3 canon:

Agreement That time Crowley met Charles Xavier in a bar. Crossover with Good Omens.
Deal Mystique still has some cards to play. Post-X3, gen.
Temporary Five ways Rogue finds out nothing's permanent. Post-X3, gen with references to Bobby/Rogue and subtext in various other directions.

Stories not based on X3 canon:

Fear the Rest

Once they shared a dream; now they fight a war. This is the story of how the war began. A novella-length story about the beginnings of the X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants with pairings including Xavier/Magneto, Magneto/Mystique, and Jean/Scott.

Several of my other stories share the same backstory as "Fear the Rest," and assume its events as backstory; while they don't have to be read as a series, they're listed in chronological order here.
