1sentencea while back but I only got the claim added now, so here it is. It's the gamma set. It's not in a chrological order or anything, it's just glimpses of their relationship.
1. Ring
No rings, no commitments, only them; they had decided that without saying a single word.
2. Hero
Kitty knows that Pete only says bad things about heroes and does not, under any circumstances, want to be one of them, but he is one even though he doesn’t wear spandex.
3. Memory
And now that memories are the only thing left of Kitty, Pete finds himself lost in thoughts more frequently.
4. Box
Even so many years after Pete and Kitty broke up, she still has this box in her dresser and she likes to take it out every once in a while so she can look at things that make her remember the man who was - and is - so important to her.
5. Run
Wisdom didn’t run, it was against all of his principles but on that fateful day on Muir, when Kitty had broken up with him, he wasn’t able to do anything but to run away, to leave behind the woman he loved with all of his heart, knowing that she would turn to Piotr to console her eventually.
6. Hurricane
"Can you tell me why this hurricane is coming straight towards us?" Wisdom asks, still not used to being attacked all the time.
7. Wings
Wisdom wishes he had wings so he could fly after his girlfriend’s damn pet-dragon that just stole his cigarettes.
8. Cold
The nights on Muir are cold, but when Kitty snuggles to her naked English lover, she doesn’t mind the cold at all.
9. Red
"Do you think red suits me?" Kitty asks and Wisdom draws her close, telling her that nothing suits her better than naked.
10. Drink
Pete looks at Kitty shocked when she takes the glass of whiskey out of his hand for the first time and takes a big gulp of it.
11. Midnight
"Almost midnight," Pete says when Kitty asks him for the time knowing that they had wanted to meet the rest of Excalibur at eight o’clock.
12. Temptation
Once again, Wisdom and Pryde can’t resist the temptation of going off alone for an adventure out of spandex that could get them killed, not only because of the obvious reasons but also because of the sex they always have along the way in the cheap motels they spend the nights at.
13. View
As beautiful as the view from high up may me, Wisdom still prefers looking at Kitty.
14. Music
"Baby I Love You" was their song and now that Kitty hears it, years after the break-up, she wishes Pete, and his cigarettes, his whiskey and his curses were still there all the time.
15. Silk
While browsing through her closet, Kitty finds a white silk dressing gown she had forgotten about and can’t help but remember the days on Muir when she loved to wear it because she knew that Wisdom couldn’t resist undressing her when he saw her wearing it.
16. Cover
When Moira looks around the kitchen horrified, seeing the bottle of whiskey she bought yesterday is almost empty and Wisdom raises his hand silently although he hasn’t spent the night on Muir; but he knows that it’s best to cover up for Kitty as nobody would ever believe he has tainted her so much that she drinks in these huge quantities all by herself.
17. Promise
"Promise me you won’t act that nasty or blurt out what we do when we’re alone," Kitty begs him, promising that she’ll make it up to him later.
18. Dream
It is one of these recurring dreams people have sometimes; his is about a young American woman he loves but who probably thinks he is dead and most likely doesn’t care.
19. Candle
"We shouldn’t light candles," Wisdom grins, "we’ll probably get busy and forget about them."
20. Talent
Not only is Kitty a mutant, but also a clever girl and her talent with computers has been a great help when Wisdom got the two of them into trouble - his particular talent.
21. Silence
They lay in bed huddled together, don’t say a single word, just lay there, silence surrounds them like in always does after the sex.
22. Journey
"Think we could set the jet on auto-pilot and do more important things?"
23. Fire
Making love on the rug in front of the fireplace, their shadows painted to the wall; Kitty would never forget this night.
24. Strength
Kitty is a strong woman, but one that can only show herself to people who aren’t good because she doesn’t feel like she’s good enough; Pete thinks it’s incredible how strong she has to have to keep all of this to herself for so long.
25. Mask
Kitty often feels as if all people care about is her pleasant, nice side, that they will be repulsed snd shy away from her dark side, but in Pete she finds someone who loves her and her demons, especially them because he is the only one who knows about them.
26. Ice
"I hate ice and snow," Wisdom complains and Kitty rolls her eyes, knowing that when it’s hot, he will complain about it.
27. Fall
"I’ve fallen, Pryde," he tells her and she answers, "You’ve lost your pride long ago."
28. Forgotten
How can she claim to have forgotten about him when she can’t restrain from crying when she thinks about him?
29. Dance
In their room Wisdom puts his arms around Kitty and they silently waltz to the music that is played on the stereo; it is one of the few truly romantic moments they share, a moment to remember.
30. Body
Pete is the first man to explore Kitty Pryde’s youthful body and she doesn’t regret having given herself to him for a second, but is also content because it was him she waited for.
31. Sacred
Nothing - or barely anything - is sacred to Kitty and Pete, even though she hides the fact better than he does, hides that she has been corrupted by him.
32. Farewells
They do not part on best terms, they don’t part on good terms at all and this is just because Kitty is a coward and can’t tell him that she loves him so much that is scares the shit out of her.
33. World
Wisdom comes from the dark and frightening world of secret service, Shadowcat from the colorful world of superheroes, but when their worlds clash, they learn about the new world and find a special person they would never have found in their own.
34. Formal
As much as Wisdom likes to look at Kitty in this dark blue, sophisticated gown, he wishes they could go home soon so that he could rip it off of her.
35. Fever
"I don’t need your bloody medicine, Kitty, I’m not ill!"
36. Laugh
Kitty can’t help but laughing when Pete’s cigarettes fall into the pool.
37. Lies
Kitty had told many lies throughout her life and one of them had been to tell Pete Wisdom she didn’t love him any longer - until today it was the lie she regretted most, the one she had told because she had afraid of how much she had loved him.
38. Forever
Their paths have crossed a long time ago, they have gone separate ways but somehow they still long for each other, even when with Piotr, Kitty often thinks about the Englishman, like now when the Russian walks into her room to find her crying.
39. Overwhelmed
She can barely hide how overwhelmed she is when Pete tells her how he feels about her, she hadn’t expected that he’d ever say it.
40. Whisper
She loves how he sometimes leans down to her and whispers obscene things into her ear when everybody is watching and she has to concentrate to keep from blushing.
41. Wait
Kitty wants to tell Wisdom to wait, not to walk out on her, but the words don’t come out and when she regains her speech, he is already gone and will never return.
42. Talk
They don’t talk, they bicker, no matter about what, it’s their very own way of communicating.
43. Search
Kitty had never realized she was searching for someone who would accept her the way she was, encouraged her not to be the goody two shoes until she found Wisdom.
44. Hope
Kitty hopes that her disinterest in Pete will sound credible; hopes he won’t notice she didn’t come to England because of New Excalibur but to see how he has been doing.
45. Eclipse
"Please tell me there’s a natural cause for this," Pete mutters, but his girlfriend shakes her head no, looking at the something that is blocking the sun.
46. Gravity
Kitty tells him about her adventures on the blue area of the Moon, and the only thing Wisdom wonders about is how the gravity affected the fight.
47. Highway
"Pete, I don’t think speeding more and more will keep the police officer who’s chasing us from giving us a ticket."
48. Unknown
Pete Wisdom had taught her many things she had never expected to find pleasure in, things like swearing, alcohol and sex.
49. Lock
They had to get a lock because people kept walking in on them when they were having sex - or maybe it was because they were constantly having sex.
50. Breathe
"Could you please stop breathing?" Kitty asks Wisdom every time he is having is just had a smoke.
