Summary
Midway through August, Logan comes home.
The whole ride, all four hundred miles of it, he refuses to call it that. But as he parks his motorcycle in the garage in the same place it was a month ago and extinguishes his cigar on his forearm, he's not sure what else to call it.
Surrender, maybe.

Summary
It's 1970. The war worsens, temporarily halting Charles' dream of his school for mutants, and Charles continues to struggle under the moral responsibility of his mutation. Meanwhile, Erik has invested himself in the support of Charles, despite its price of patience and inaction.
Diverges from canon events after X-Men First Class, cosmetically inspired by X-Men Days of Future Past. Follows the previous work, The Burdens We Long to Carry, with about 7 years in between.

Summary
"I'm all right," one of them was saying, hoarse and breathless. "I'm okay. It's all right, it's nothing." He sat up, one arm held to his chest, yellow hair hanging in his eyes.

Summary
Johnny strained for the faintly crackling feeling of awareness he'd gotten used to, looked for those tiny shifts of head, hands, stance—but nothing doing. Henry's attention was fully on the matinee idol and the idol's on him, murmuring in their own closed circle, while Johnny watched them like a stray through a cafe window.
Okay, so, this was new. He'd gotten on top of every knuckleball Henry had thrown him so far. You just had to watch, and then you'd see. Nobody ever said it was always going to be a goddamn delight.
