“The most important thing,” Scott had said, five fingers spread over his chest and looking at Alex like he understood his brother might bolt at any second, “is that you and me, we’re family, always; nothing else matters.”

Alex can’t remember what happened before and he knows from whispered nightly conversations that Scott can’t either, that between the two of them there was something like panic and smoke and fire and then waking up to every inch of his body aching and covered in irritatingly scratchy bandages. The sense of losing everything that was important to them flowing freely like the drugs through their veins

“Your face,” Michael had said, “that’s gonna be your killer.” And Alex had looked at him bewildered, chewing the side of his cheek in anticipation. “Blond hair and blue eyes and still all innocent looking, the older ones’ll fall for that hook, line and sinker. Nothing like a baby face to distract ‘em whilst I make away with the good stuff.” And Alex had beamed, finally feeling useful

“Why would you want that?” Charles had said and it had taken Alex a moment to remember that Charles Xavier could get into your head like no other social worker or guard or adult that he’d ever previously had to deal with.

The vision of Darwin, eyes staring at him, accusing and yet blank before they turned into a hard stone and cracked before his eyes had jumped forefront into his vision. Not Charles’ doing but his own guilt creeping over every inch of his skin until he was sick with it, heavy and drowning.

“No fault of your own, Alex. I can assure you that what Shaw did was not your fault in the slightest.”

It had been his energy though and Alex had imagined what the rest of them were all thinking, that if he hadn’t tried to attack like that, if he hadn’t used his own power, that Darwin might be there with them still, stood just over to the corner and breathingAt this point, as in the past, Alex knew, it was his queue to start packing and get leaving

Feel Anything At All 4/5

All in all, Alex had thought, the power of his plasma swirling through his chest comfortably and not forceful or overpowering like it always had been, still there on the tip of his vision waiting to burst out but when the call came or he needed it, no longer threatening to spill over at his edges, thanks in most part to Erik and Charles’ training - it was a strange new family he seemed to have found himself a place in, a mixed and varied bunch, but one that so far seemed to stick together through thick and thin, that maybe, just maybe would stay together in the process of this war that they’d found themselves fighting.

viHank’s hair had been leaning to one side from where he’d raked a hurried hand through it when Charles had suggested they be the targets

He’d leaned over, his mouth capturing Alex’s before he had a chance to take a step back, his hand moving out to curl around Alex’s waist and press into the natural dip of his back, firmly keeping Alex in place but giving him enough room to move should he have wished to. Alex didn’t, he moved one hand up to cup the side of Hank’s face, fingers just brushing the side of his ear as he moved his other slowly up Hank’s chest, fingers skittering over his rib cage and tasting the gasp of air that Hank made at the movement

So the first bit with Scott had the SPN fangirl in me absolutely dying. Brotherly love is so totally one of my kinks. <3

The second part with Micheal was a heart killer too, though I started laughing at this line He taught Alex how to survive on the streets by any means necessary because I was imagining an Oliver & Company AU and Alex as a little orange kitten should pretty much make everyone squee. (Seriously, it's just an adorable concept!)

Melanie already disappearing into the part of his mind that Alex labelled reasons why he shouldn’t ever trust anybody.
You're seriously just breaking my fucking heart here, okay?

And the "beautiful childhood memory" moment? I'm a sucker for any paternal connection between the kids and Charles, as well as parallels between Erik and Alex, so you have my approval there too. :)

The kiss. Oh man, you mentioned Alex's curves. They are so damn sexy and you have Hank's arm around his waist and everything. *dies* It was sweet too, but mostly hot. Definitely the most romantic/passionate moment I've

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment.

And I agree wholeheartedly that brotherly love is so adorable. I guess it can go anyway in this universe, but my heart still kind of bleeds for them.

I have to admit I've never seen Oliver & co, but I can imagine. :D

And hahaha, Definitely the most romantic/passionate moment I've read in this fandom that wasn't actually smut. Color me impressed I think that's one of the nicest things anybody has ever said about my writing, thanks for thinking it, I'm glad you liked it.

Really though, such a lovely, lovely comment. I'm glad you liked it.
