If you like these stories, please drop the author a note of appreciation.


Claim: X-men Comicsverse: Logan/Remy (Wolverine/Gambit)
Title: Origins
Author: jukebox
Characters: Logan/Remy
Prompt: AU
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long WiP
Brief summary: This story shows a different take on the introduction of Remy into the X-men. This Remy/Gambit is a bit unsure at first. He's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Although it's a WiP, it's updated pretty regularly. The author does a good job on incorporating canon, keeping the characters IC and yet, illustrates what could have been.



He wondered to himself how he ever got into this situation and pondered his possible options for escape. On the one hand, he could just leave and disappear from society; he was very good at disappearing when he needed to. Shaking his head, he knew that path was not viable as he would be constantly looking over his shoulder and it would only lead to his death sooner rather than later. Not that it would bother him all that much. /Been doing dat all my life/ he thought to himself. On the other hand, he could join the school; build a trust and rapport with the residents therein, and complete the mission to which he had been assigned. Neither choice was very appealing to him. Ultimately, though, he knew that running was not an option. /Got responsibilities now/ his mind admitted as he sighed to himself.

Claim: X-Men Comicsverse: Logan/Remy (Wolverine/Gambit)
Title: The Camping Trip
Author: jukebox
Characters: Logan/Remy
Prompt: Teamwork
Rating: R to NC-17 (depending on interpretation of ratings)
Length: long
Brief summary: Setting off on a camping trip for some "alone time", Remy and Logan are attacked. Together, they must rescue and protect each other. Each has their own skills that keep them going. The author states that this is their first slash story ever written and it's hard to believe from the quality of writing. Jukebox has become one of my favorite authors in this ship and this story really shows why.


Remy was apprehensive when he stepped outside the cave, apprehensive and nervous to be exact. These feelings were not new for him. He always felt that way before heading into battle. Problem was, he usually had a figurative mask to put in place to hide his feelings, and used that mask to hone his fighting ability to his advantage. This time was different. The exhaustion and illness of his body made erecting and maintaining a shield impossible. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t rein those feelings in. He knew it had much to do with the loss of his shields and he cursed himself again for his failings. Without his shields, he would be slammed by the emotions of the soldiers out here. And with the unpredictable control, or lack thereof, that he tended to have over his empathy, the feelings would flow back stronger to the soldiers, stoking their hatred to burn even hotter. He really was a pathetic waste of skin. Perhaps Warren and Rogue had been right all along?
