I found this only just today, but oh man was I glad that I did! If you love x-men you should really read this! I loved the characterization, especially the the way Scott was portrayed there. The fic is well written, the plot worked and was simple yet multilayered. I think Logan's pov worked well, and for once I think Scott/Logan made sense (I love that pairing. I'm only saying, that sometimes people write them and I can't see why they would be together, you know?)
In other words. I loved it to pieces. You should check out
fourteencandles entourage fics as well, because those are amazing. <3
So. In author's own words:
This is a "what if" story, in a way, built on this question: What if Jean had gotten on the airplane at the end of X2 and saved the day from there? It's the question that's always bothered me. If she's got these amazing powers, why couldn't she use them from inside the jet? Just wondering. Anyway, so, it's kind of an alternate X3, and it's got mentions of Jean/Scott but it's mostly Scott/Logan. And in that way, it's also a bit of a response fic to all of the stories out there that have a poor sad weepy weak Cyclops in them. I cannot abide.
