If you're one of the original five X-Men and your name isn't Jean Grey or Scott Summers, chances are you've got a bum deal.

(Fiction Friday) X-Men: The Mutant Era, Part 1 – Control The Changes
I'm a huge fan of Marvel's X-Men, who have been having a rough time of it lately.

Thursday Fiction: Midnight Thoughts of Troubled Minds
I was a little late with getting to the end of Veniamin's story, so I thought I would offer two vignettes this week instead! This one is a bit longer than I expected it would be; once I got into it I really wanted to give it the time it needed. That's why it's up … Continue reading Thursday Fiction: Midnight Thoughts of Troubled Minds
