Thanks so much for writing this! You write a great Scott-POV (I liked Jean as his conscience, especially), and this is a cool way to insert Alex into movieverse. I like the way the contrast between them works here, and the details and parallels you bring up to real world activism work great. Also, any time Lorna Dane shows up in fic is awesome. So, thanks for that :).

I'm glad you liked it! I was party and witness to a lot of well-meaning but poorly executed activism when I was in college, so it was fun to play with that here. And agreed - Lorna is awesome, and there should be more of her in general.

Here from likeadeuce's rec. This is wonderful. Your characterizations feel perfect and I love the idea of Alex and Lorna starting M.O.M. and going against FoH. Win all around. Now, I must go read "A Harvest of Wild Oats".

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun working Alex and Lorna into movieverse.

Oh my, that was amazing! :D
Young Lorna & Alex team, yay! There just isn't enough Lor&Alex fics around, so this is a real treat.

I really like the way Alex and Scott are very similar yet different, like brothers often are. The rain and speaker and dampened mood... So funny :)

Great fic!

Thank you very much! I really love the Alex and Scott dynamic in the comics, so playing with that here was a lot of fun. And I couldn't resist writing in Lorna as well.

Oh, yay! I am always a fan of whenever Alex and Lorna show up in fics. This is great, thank you!

Thank you! I am really fond of Alex and Lorna, so it was fun to write them. I wish they featured in more fic.

Thank you very much! I agree that it's a reaction many of us would have, especially if we had the ability to strike back so effectively. I tried to work in a lot of perspectives on methods of activism here, so I'm glad that worked for you.
