    Summary

    Mercury is eight when his father joins up with Salem's faction and takes a post in Vale, and it takes him no time at all to decide that he hates every last thing about the city except for maybe this green-haired pickpocket.

    Emerald's never had a friend before, and she really should know better than to start with this angry weirdo who ruined her latest heist.

    Or, two murder children learn to protect and care for each other while growing up in genuinely awful circumstances.

    Featuring snark, gratuitous literary references, and misdemeanors galore, this is the Partners in Crime childhood best friends AU that I hope to god somebody asked for.

    Summary

    "He's just like-"
    “Like you were, when you first came here?” Xavier’s gaze was far too piercing. It sliced Logan to the bone, and he could feel his skin prickle where phantom blades cut through it.
    “Exactly,” Logan growled, refusing to let Xavier see just how much that bothered him. “That’s why the kid’s dangerous.”
    “That’s why he needs help,” Xavier pressed gently, as if he was chiding Logan for his hostility. “And that is why you are the best equipped to help him.”
    __________________________
    In which Logan accidentally volunteers to help babysit the latest addition to the Xavier Institute, a strange new student that was quite literally left on their doorstep. However, this student isn't quite a "student" at all; it is a weapon left without a handler. Unfortunately, the new mutant now thinks Logan is his handler. Even more unfortunately, Logan knows more about this situation than he would like to.

    AKA an AU that embellishes on the fact that Kurt was being used as a weapon by Stryker at the beginning of X2, turning the situation into a recovery scenario that ends up helping both Kurt and Logan overcome their Weapon X conditioning.

    Summary

    She’s known by dozens of names: Huntress, Faunus, coward. The scars that mark her body are a map of the life she’s led, but they always lead back to the same conclusion: she’s Blake, drowning, falling, having wished upon a million stars that failed her, every single time. Runaways have no place falling in love, but somehow, it always comes crashing in like the realest thing.

    At the end of night is day, called other names: a sister, a daughter, a partner. She’s all these things, but still she’s unsure of who she is. Yang's fire, only knowing this: it wasn't supposed to happen this way. Fairytales have happy endings, but what about the story that she's still struggling to write?

    Shards come together to form a whole, huntresses come together to create a team, lives come together to form a story.
