Summary
"Daken," she says flatly. If she was Wolverine she'd probably her down her drink right now. Laura has yet to develop enough of a taste for alcohol to consider that course of action. "I am not sure why you are here but I am not in the mood to play your games."
He merely laughs at her, and she turns to look at him. His eyes glitter darkly in the dim light, filled with the amusement Daken always seems to take in discomforting people. "Oh but Laura, you're always so fun to play with."

Summary
Kiden laughs. “You look like you're going to make a run for it again. Sit back, Laura, you only just got here, and you still haven't told us what you're doing here.”
Laura sits back a little, tries to feel comfortable here. “I thought I'd come visit.” The words feel clumsy in her mouth. She looks down, lets her hair fall over her face, suddenly wishing she had not bothered to come, that she had stayed at the Academy even though nobody really wants her there. She should be used to that by now, it's the same everywhere.
She feels a gentle nudge, Kiden's foot against her ribs, and looks up. Kiden is watching her, expression half-exasperated, half-fond. “You know you're welcome here, right?"

Summary
Laura lets out a long breath. “What are you doing here?” It disturbs her that she had not noticed he was here until she was already inside the room. His ability to mask his scent might have been able to fool her nose, but she should have noticed the extra heartbeat, should have realised it was coming from her room. She is getting sloppy.
“Can't an older brother drop by for a visit?” Daken says lightly, trailing his fingers over the photo frames on her bedside table; pictures of her and Gambit, her and Jubilee, her and Logan. He pauses when he reaches the one of her and Logan, then, with a flick of the wrist which could almost be accidental, sends it clattering to the floor. “Whoops,” he says softly, a faint smile curling at his lips.

the art of drowning by darkavengerz (darkavenger)

Summary
“Daken?” Laura asks, though any doubt she had was gone the second she picked out his scent.
His eyes shift at the sound of his name, and his gaze focuses until she knows she has his attention. Her skin crawls under his cold, fish-eyed gaze. “What do you want?” she asks, and the words sound flat, like somehow the short space between the two of them has been transformed into a void. What. Do. You. Want? One by one her words fall into that void, vanishing without the slightest ripple to mark their passage. She cannot tell if they even reached him.

Summary
Set the eve before Daken's first death in New York.
'None of this is real, of course. Bullseye is, well, who knows exactly where Bullseye is right now, at this specific moment in time. Certainly not here, in a penthouse apartment with a view of the New York skyline Daken had literally killed for. But if he was here, what would he say? Something like -
“You’re a fucking mess.”
- yes, something like that. Daken’s glad, very glad that the real Lester isn’t here to see him like this.'

Summary
'It hurts. Worse than dying, worse than drowning. Every nerve in his body thrills at the touch of the flames. St. Elmo’s fire clinging to the rigging of some storm-tossed ship. Gradually, by increments the flames sink into him, melting the ice of his insides. The flames consume him, burn him up. Everything he was becomes nothing, dried kindling piled on the pyre.
This is how he is reborn, baptised in the fire of his own hatred. Brought back to life, or some shadowy imitation of it. The fire cleanses him. He is made pure in its flames. Everything except that hatred is burned away.'
