or, an alternate take on the xmen timeline. among the biggest changes;
> cherik as soulmates
> erik raising pietro and wanda
> erik raising wanda alone post-beach, and charles raising pietro
> certain mcu characters featured as human/no powers!background characters
> dofp reuniting the family, as in canon, but told a little differently
> an (eventual) fluffy sequel looking at logan's life in his new, post-dofp future – with the planned inclusion of scott/jean/logan, poolverine, dad!logan for rogue and laura, and the possible addition of gambit, based heavily on his 90s cartoon self

(title from “BIGGER” by beyoncé)

Notes:

···◦○○♊︎○○◦···

alternatively known as "the beyoncé au," because the au itself and the two fics within the universe are named after beyoncé songs. "beyoncé au" is a lot easier to say than the mouthful that is "the soulmates!cherik maximoff twins divorce kids post dofp logan-focused fluff sequel au"

this au mainly came to be because i had a lot of scattered x-men fic ideas, and decided to say fuck it and mush them all into a singular, connected universe. that makes for a way more interesting story, in my opinion, and spares me the trouble of juggling so many different stories. enjoy your read!!
