rec50My Gambit table
Claim: X-men: Gambit
Title: The Betrayal Arc
Author: Valerie Jones at Valerie's Fiction Archive
Characters: Gambit, Witness, all X-men
Prompt: Redemption
Rating: R
Warnings: Angst, violence
Length: Epic
Brief summary: The author's take on the traitor storyline (prior to Onslaught). I wanted to rec Gambit stories for this story. It's probably one of the best stories I've ever read in any fandom. It is extremely well thought out and just baffles my mind each and every time I read it. Paradox Law contains a lot of angst and loss and is one of my favorite parts to read. It's an older story so people new to the fandom NEED to read it - you will NOT be disappointed.
“We all got secrets, Cajun.” Logan leaned back in his chair and watched him through slitted eyes. It was the first time he had spoken. “I don’t much like havin’ my mind sorted through, either, but the Prof’s no snoop. You know that.”
Oui, mon ami. I know dat, he thought. But that wasn’t the point, and he didn’t know how to explain what was. “I didn’… I won’… ever… do anyt’ing to hurt de X-Men. Y’ have t’ believe dat.” It was a last ditch plea.
“Actually, I do,” Professor Xavier told him.
Remy half turned, surprised. “But--”
“But based on some things the Witness has said, I think you may know a great deal more about all of this than you realize. I am not interested in placing blame of any sort, Remy. I simply want to protect the X-Men.” The professor gazed steadily at him. There was no compromise in his voice, but Remy knew that he was trying to be reasonable. And for all the reasons not to, Remy found that he wanted to do what the professor asked.
“I’m sorry, Professor,” he finally answered. “No. I-- I’ll leave, if dat’s what you want...” The words hurt more than Remy thought possible.
