    Summary

    “You’re difficult to work with. I’m not saying it’s anyone’s fault.” He smiled softy and Ingo, despite himself, was struck with a sharp pang of jealousy. “Not even yours. You can’t help your… defect.”

    Self-consciously, Ingo covered his mouth. It was such a minor thing but it caused him no end of grief. The standard wind-up solider was made with a sweet smile. By mistake, Ingo’s smile had been flipped, and he’d been carved with a perpetual frown instead.

    Or: A Nutcracker/Toyland AU where Emmet and Ingo are socially ostracised for being built different.

    Summary

    There are reasons why Seekers Trine up in the first place.

    The main one is that a seeker's wing are vitally important to their survival, need intense maintenance, and can't be effectively worked on by their own bearer. Especially on the backside.

     

    Starscream might have been able to fool his own Trine as he slowly drifted away from them.
    And he might have managed to keep his wings and back in good shape while doing that through his inventively.

    But when a rust-inviting wear develops in his wing hinges, other Seekers noticed.

    That was only the start, though.

     

    OR:
    Seekers Trine for many, many reasons.

    And Starscream might have decided that he was above it all, but he really, really isn't.

    Seekers Trine for reasons.

    And Skywarp and Thundercracker need to remind Starscream (and themselves) what these reasons are.

    Summary

    "He's just like-"
    “Like you were, when you first came here?” Xavier’s gaze was far too piercing. It sliced Logan to the bone, and he could feel his skin prickle where phantom blades cut through it.
    “Exactly,” Logan growled, refusing to let Xavier see just how much that bothered him. “That’s why the kid’s dangerous.”
    “That’s why he needs help,” Xavier pressed gently, as if he was chiding Logan for his hostility. “And that is why you are the best equipped to help him.”
    __________________________
    In which Logan accidentally volunteers to help babysit the latest addition to the Xavier Institute, a strange new student that was quite literally left on their doorstep. However, this student isn't quite a "student" at all; it is a weapon left without a handler. Unfortunately, the new mutant now thinks Logan is his handler. Even more unfortunately, Logan knows more about this situation than he would like to.

    AKA an AU that embellishes on the fact that Kurt was being used as a weapon by Stryker at the beginning of X2, turning the situation into a recovery scenario that ends up helping both Kurt and Logan overcome their Weapon X conditioning.

    Summary

    My Starscream stories, minus the out-and-out smut (that's in a different series, "Spicy Starscream Stories"). This series does include a fair amount of Starscream & Skyfire fluff; be warned. It starts out mostly G1 cartoon canon and eventually goes AU post-S3.

    Current stories have all been copied from FF.net and my personal site. Still rounding up fragments from LJ, and, of course, still writing new stories now and then.
