Two days since I finished Kith & Kin, and I'm still basking the the twin feels. The Vex feels, the Vax feels, the Vex and Vax feels, all of it. It was a good story, too, with all the complexity one could hope for. Wonderful first novel for this growing franchise.
This morning, meanwhile, I finally finished the next part of this.

Title: Take a Year
Part: 6: Immediate
(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5)
Fandom: X-Men
Characters: Scott Summers/Jean Grey
Disclaimer: Probably just as well Disney cancelled it, honestly.
Note:...but this takes place in a universe next door to all that, I think.

( There were a lot of people who acted like the announcement was going to bring everyone’s lives to a grounding halt. But the world didn’t work like that, and really, not much changed at all. )

Went out in the heat today because I needed a new black ink cartridge. There used to be a Staples 15 minutes walk from my house, but then it shut down, and there is no convenient one anywhere; I ended up going into DC, simply because there was one there by a metro stop. At least I got the cartridge, though when traveling along the *very* long wall of different cartridges for different printers, I briefly worried it wouldn't be available, that having a printer more than a decade old meant they didn't make them for it anymore, and I'd be forced to buy a new one(though I'm kind of stunned mine has lasted that long!), but I finally found it among the low numbers near the end of the HP section. It's installed and the test page has been printed and left me worried about my color cartridge now, but black ink means the train tickets should be scannable when I print them next month. Meanwhile, my face is mildly sunburnt and I may hide in tomorrow after the groceries have been bought.
Years and years ago, when there had only been 2/3 X-Men movies released, somebody said they wanted a Charles/Erik montage to this song, but there probably wasn't enough footage. I think there actually might be now...though I still haven't really made the jump from making skating montages to making other kinds of fanvids.

Title: Take a Year
Part: 3: In the Public World
(Part 1, Part 2)
Fandom: X-Men
Characters: Scott Summers/Jean Grey
Disclaimer: Arguably Fox is to blame for the 3rd movie throwing the franchise off, in which Marvel was complacent...

( Scott had during his life teaching runaways at Xavier’s been aware not only about the difficulty of getting jobs, but that things weren’t good in most of America’s public school systems, particularly urban ones. )
