Title: Take Your Chances
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Pairing: Jean Grey/Wanda Maximoff
Rating: G

Author's Notes: Written for likeadeuce in femslash08. And I'd like to give massive thanks to anat_astarte for her beta job!

( Wanda shifted through her closet, still somewhat dazzled by the sheer variety and mass of clothing she had managed to obtain in such a short amount of time. )

Oh my goodness, thank you. This is so perfect, it feels just like Colleen's cartoons. Wanda's POV is great here. She is so sweet and serious and adorable. And brave. Beautiful brave Wanda. <3 <3 <3

I love this to bits and pieces. And I always love me some bitchy Pietro, so that's icing on the cake.

Can I say thank you another million times? *flails*

Yay, I'm so glad you liked it! I think those Colleen cartoons might be might favorite things in all of comicdom right now, and I adore what First Class is doing with Wanda and Jean. It's so nice to see them being sweet and brave and awesome before both their lives start to kind of suck in modern continuity, and I'm really glad I got to write them.

And bitchy Pietro is always fun to write too! Although it's vaguely disconcerting how hard it is to write about Wanda without her brother taking over the whole story.

A bit belatedly, but I'd like to encourage you to post this to xmenfirstclass. (And I know I still owe you thank you fic for writing in our ficathon over there, I'm going to get on that!)

Ah, I kept meaning to post it there, but I think time slipped away from me! I'll get on that tonight. (And, by the way, I'm sorry about the ridiculously late reply to this comment - life kind of exploded for a while and things got buried in my inbox).

Awwwwwwwwwww.

This is ADORABLE. I love how determined Wanda is, and you've really got her voice, especially for First Class, perfectly. I love her hope and her nervousness and I love how Jean responds. This is just great.

Thank you! I really love Wanda and how she's written in First Class, and I'm glad people like the way I write her in my fic.

This is great! I think you've got First Class Wanda down perfectly, here, and they are just adorable together!

sheepfairy July 17 2008, 03:15:05 UTC

Thanks! I kind of love writing first class since it lends itself so well to the adorableness.

Absolutely too cute! I really love Wanda's thoughts that eventually Jean would find out, so why not just go for it! Thatta girl!

Great job. :D

sheepfairy July 17 2008, 03:12:29 UTC

Thank you! And, yeah, it's better for her that she managed to talk herself into it!
