   Summary

   All mutants dreamed of a place safe from ridicule and persecution. They all ached for a nation in which they were free, where they did not have to hide themselves.

   Charles and Erik, together, created that dream for their mutants.

   But that dream was cracking… rapidly.

   After almost decades of peace amongst mutants, Charles and Erik put their lives on the line for the sake of mutantkind and for the survival of the new nation that they created together.

   How I imagined the Fox X-Men movies might've done the Krakoa Era from the Marvel comics.
