Summary
Good evening. I’m Oliver A. Baum. We gather tonight to share the fantastical tale of a girl who followed a Yellow Brick Road in search of a Magic Man. Like all great stories, it will tap deep into the collective unconscious to teach us the truths of the human condition, dressing our mundane endeavors in the mythic trappings of the imagination.
It begins with a storm...
(Or:
panAcademic: "Tornado warning where I am, so: A Wizard of Oz AU"
hc-silver: "Syd as Dorothy with her cat Matilda as Toto, searching for David as the Wizard of Oz, and Shadow King Lenny as the Wicked Witch. Everyone gets swept up in a psychic outburst and lands in an astral plane recreation of a story David remembers from his childhood.
So things very much look like Oz... until they DON'T
[cue the Devil's horror trumpet musical sting]"

You Can't Find the Woods (When You're Hiding in the Trees) by panAcademic
Fandoms: Legion (TV), X-Men - All Media Types
20 Apr 2023

Summary
(A combination of canon from the Legion TV show, with themes, ideas, and traits lifted from the comics.)
Every day, she wakes up, she looks through the photographs, and she swallows the key.
~
Every day, he feels more and more as though his world is haunted by something closer than tragedy.
~
Every day, they feel as if someone else's footsteps have echoed after their own.
~
And one day, the doors all start to fall down.A deviation from season 2 canon, where David's DID and neurodivergence have a more prominent role and his relationships with the people are around him are a lot more complicated as a result. Plot? Why yes, eventually.

Everything I Know About Writing the Loudermilk Twins by Rockinlibrarian
Fandoms: Legion (TV)
09 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
I just wanted an excuse to talk about them, okay?
So I blabbered out everything I could think of.
It's like a show bible, but for my own fanfic. Or your fanfic too, perhaps. This is canon, assumed canon, headcanon with evidence, wild theories, and occasional random opinions. It's the Unified Theory of Loudermilks. Everything you've ever wanted to know. Or, everything I've ever wanted to know, at least.
Agree? Disagree? Just want to talk about them, too? Leave a comment!

Two (or Three) Mutant Freaks and the Strictly Scholarly Collaboration by Rockinlibrarian
Fandoms: Legion (TV)
10 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
When I started writing this collection of Oliver-and-Cary-as-childhood-friends AU stories, I thought “How does Melanie fit in?” But I’d already started writing “A Strictly Scholarly Collaboration” and I couldn’t see THAT happening any other way. The question really became, “How would CARY fit into THAT story, if he and Oliver were already friends?” And so, as I wrote both sets of stories, I kept writing these bonus scenes— the scenes that would tie the origin-story-of-the-future-Mr.-and-Mrs.-Bird and the Childhood Friends AU together.
Although coinciding with Oliver and Melanie’s romance, these scenes are more about the burgeoning friendship of they-who-shall-become Summerland-Generation-One: what happens when Oliver has a sensible friend to talk through his new experiences (and be a good wingman), and when Cary’s around to experience Oliver’s wild pre-Melanie years in the first place; how Melanie gets the wrong end of the stick about Cary, repeatedly (it’s a many-ended stick); and Kerry, well, is Kerry! (I will continue to regret that Oliver and Kerry never got to actually interact on the show. What a waste of great character chemistry!)

Two (or Three) Mutant Freaks and the Adolescent Melodrama by Rockinlibrarian
Fandoms: Legion (TV)
12 Mar 2021
Tags
Summary
Having a psychic horndog for a best friend can really complicate a poor guy's sexual awakening (or lack thereof).
You know, in a normal universe where they clearly didn't know each other yet as teenagers, this all would have been a lot less awkward.
Maybe not that much less. I did write that one already.

In Which I retell Chapters 6-8 from the POV of my babies, the Loudermilk Twins.
