Summary
"It wasn't that they'd gone their separate ways after his retrial, not at all—but Simon still held himself apart in some fashion, still stood just out of arm's length. She could reach out for him, but her hands would only ever make contact with his afterimage."
Simon and Athena have a long overdue conversation about everything, or something close to it. Takes place after Spirit of Justice.

Summary
"This was the reality that stood before her: a man carved from shadow, a creature who looked every inch the murderer the papers had made him out to be. For the first time Athena grasped how profoundly seven years in darkness could change a man."
Athena reminisces about Simon in the Space Museum, the evening before the Cosmic Turnabout murder.

Summary
"He still remembered what he'd thought the moment he first laid eyes on her, awkwardly perched on the barstool in that Laughlin hellhole—they're letting kids in bars now?—before immediately ignoring her existence in favor of rifling through his fight winnings to find a bill that would cover a beer or seven. He remembered, too, how he'd been fully prepared to dump her by the side of the road when he found her in his trailer, wash his hands of her—until he wasn't. Three months later, he still wasn't ready to wash his hands of her. Maybe he never would."
Logan comes home to the mansion one night to find Rogue sleeping in his room. A conversation about Alaska ensues, and Logan finds there's more to Rogue's ordeal as a runaway than meets the eye. Canon divergence following X-Men (2000), in which the events of X2 do not yet happen and Logan spends more time at the mansion.

Summary
"When he said to her I'll take care of you, he didn't exactly mean that he was going to do all the hundreds of things that parents did for their kids. He hadn't thought past his wish that she not run away from the one place on earth she might be safe. But even so, he had to wonder what her last Christmas had been like—homeless, tired, and completely alone. He wondered if he could give her a better one."
Logan makes a detour while escorting Rogue and Bobby through the Canadian Rockies. Shifting perspectives; Logan becoming far too domesticated for comfort (but it's for a good cause). Slight AU/canon divergence following X-Men (2000).

Summary
"One thing Logan knew for sure, when so much else felt like shifting sand. He knew he loved the kid." Rogue pleads her case to the X-Men to come with Logan to Alkali Lake. Introspective Logan, stubborn Rogue. Slight AU/canon divergence between X-Men (2000) and X2.

Summary
Mild AU series following the first X-Men movie that focuses on Rogue and Logan's relationship. Considered complete, but I may add more installments as inspiration strikes.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is part two in a three-part series that crosses over Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Final Fantasy VII. It's Vash introspection with really lovely writing, to the point that I revisit it often. Meryl is wonderfully written, as well!

Captures a very sweet moment between Athena and the Twisted Samurai. ❤ The writing is so in character that I could actually picture this happening in the game.

Something soft might be just what the doctor ordered.

Kon being a sweetheart. ❤ I love stories that highlight Kon's empathy and kindness. A lovely coda.

Rewrite of the last two books--feels very canon but it's far better than the canon ending. I really love what it did for Tobias and Ax!

Summary
A little bit of backstory on Rachel Black. Occurs during the Christmas after Edward left Bella in the Better Now 'verse, but it's really not necessary at all to read Better Now first. Jacob makes an appearance.

I love how realistically the Black family is portrayed. Really nails what it would be like to be an older sibling escaping a dysfunctional situation. The descriptions of Seattle are on point.
