Summary
"Wash feels Church behind every hit, swing and weave, refining angles and force like a dance. And Church catches Wash at pace right along with him, changing tactics like it’s an old song he sings along to. And, for a minute, they think: This is it. This is what it was supposed to be."
The mercs force Epsilon back into Wash's head, and several subsequent days of That Happening. Featuring: daring escapes, two people trying really hard not to mess each other up any more than they already are, and Chorus as Space Australia.

Summary
After Apocalypse's defeat the world has only gotten more crazy. Many people continue to fear and hate mutants, and many mutants are growing more powerful and dangerous. As different individuals struggle for control in a changing world, we will see enemies become friends and friends become enemies. "The X-Men will grow and change, but one thing is clear. No matter what awaits us, terrible or wondrous, the X-men will always be ready. And of that, I am proud." - Professor X
Title is a quote from Dorian Leech in S4:E5 "Uprising".

Summary
When she closed her eyes she could almost pretend she was safe. The harsh snap of a nearby twig, however, belied the serenity of what should have been a peaceful morning spent with bare toes in the sand and sunlight caressing her skin.

Really great look into a pivotal moment of Kyrie's young life. Really tense and gripping.

What. Is that?

Summary
It wasn’t that Nero didn’t like Kyrie. Actually, he liked her way more than was probably appropriate given her family had fostered him since he was eight. That was an ongoing problem.
The more immediate problem was that Nero was fifteen, had just agreed to go to a holy festival with the sister of the Supreme General of the Holy Knights, and he had no idea how to dance.

This is seriously creative. I love the imaginative look into what living on Fortuna might be like in terms of politics and Nero's history. This is just really, really fun.

“Is it just me or has his conversation gotten worse?” asked Nero.
“Dunno. Calls more than my daddy does.” Nico smirked. Nero looked at her. “Get it? ‘Cause he’s--”
“Just drive,” said Nero.
Nero gets a call from Vergil. That's a new one.

This is a really fun, short one. A bit of father-son interaction along with a bit of plot.

Summary
When Vergil returns to the human world with his ever-infuriating brother, he discovers how much he's yet to learn. From the meaning of "touchscreen" to how one even begins to be a father, this new life has its share of challenges to face. Yet as he tries to build a new future for himself, a strange upsurge of demons in familiar black sludge reminds him his past is never far behind.

This is so creative with the plot and monsters AND comes through with some direct-to-my-veins family bonding. Cannot recommend this enough.

Summary
Matier knows, when she walks by the sea to find a small white shape floating in the water, that the happenstance is guided by fate. She waddles without hesitation in the shallow water and picks up the minuscule creature wrapped in its own wings, white feathers hiding a small beak. Its very body glows faintly, its light weak but still alive. The demonic energy is faint, but unmistakable.
Matier touches the dark claws of its hand, then the even blacker talons. When they reflexively contract around her finger, prickling the skin, she smiles and runs her thumb over them.

Summary
Maybe they expected him to follow, rush off to fight her and protect the Director—the bastard.
He lays back slowly, resting against the bare bed.
Waiting.
When they come for him, he’ll tell them what they want to hear. “I don’t remember anything.” He says the words, whispered into his helmet, over and over until they come without hesitation.
Without deceit.
