Bookmarker's Notes
X-men fandom has so many ridiculously amazing AUs, idek. But this one is my absolute favorite. I don't even know what to say. The world-building -- better than the average published scifi novel. The story -- sexy and suspenseful. The characters -- you already love them.

Bookmarker's Notes
A coming of age romance with some really well-written and observed themes of class conflict and racism.
