fic: whiplash | pietro & wanda maximoff; pg-13 for minor character death and angst
Title: Whiplash
Author: obsessionality
Fandom: X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014); X-Men: First Class (2011)
Pairing: None
Relationships: Wanda & Pietro Maximoff
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Minor Character Death
Summary: It was strange how the tables turned, and how anyone could get dragged under the rip tide of life. Even quicksilver Pietro, who escaped every obstacle by simply being too fast to be caught. The problem with running was that sometimes there was nowhere to run to, and there was a big difference between running away from a thing and running towards it. Maybe Hank was right. Maybe no matter how good you were, the house always won, and in the end, life always screwed you over.
A/N: This was partially based on a one-line text post from tumblr which I can’t find now, which said “can you imagine what would happen with Peter Maximoff turned up outside Xavier Mansion after DOFP, like hey Prof, do you mind if I crash on your couch a bit?” Like I tend to, I took the prompt and beat it to death.
