Summers brothers, secrets, and Speed Racer - or - a slow burn from the beginning.
Ghosts by GrayJay - Scott and Charles, Alex and Scott
He’s not quite three, and his father is holding him up to look into Alex’s bassinet; impossibly tiny fingers warm under his hand when he reaches down, and he knows he’d do anything for-- His dad’s voice, You’re a big brother now, Scott. Do you know what that means? He’s twenty-two, half doubled over in a chair Professor Xavier’s office, clutching a crumpled sheet of paper, and everything is red; and he thinks, It means this.
Against the World by GrayJay - Alex and Scott
And that’s the hardest part, Alex thinks--all the tiny ways his brother hasn’t changed, waiting just under the surface to ambush him as soon as he starts to think he’s come to terms with the fact that they’re never going to be able to pick up where they left off, that they’re both really fucking broken in ways a weekend of beer and blanket forts probably isn’t going to fix.
Not quite a first meeting, but the first in a very long time.

The lights from the flimsy artificial tree cast a faint glow, and that’s the first sign something’s really wrong, not just in his head.
Mask Protocols by GrayJay - Jean/Scott, Original X-Men, Alex and Scott
At the best of times, Scott’s ten pounds of screwed-up in a five-pound bag, but he never loses his head in a crisis, always knows the right thing to do, always considers things logically and looks for the big picture. Now, slumped on the edge of the hospital bed in the remains of his costume, their Fearless Leader--who always has another contingency plan, who can pilot an SR-71 through a lightning storm without breaking a sweat--suddenly seems very young and very scared.
Speed on the Inside Line by GrayJay - Alex and Scott, Jean/Scott
The last two weeks have been a nonstop avalanche of fucked-up: mad scientists and friendly Egyptology professors who turn out to be supervillains, and robots, and honest-to-god fucking dinosaurs, and waking up tied to an altar with a knife against his neck, and his brother is fucking Cyclops; and if he’s been dealing so far, it’s only because he hasn’t taken the time to think about it all at once.
Scott and Alex, in the aftermath.
Kobayashi Maru by GrayJay - Hank and Scott friendship, Jean/Scott

Tables, Tactics and Redheads by L. Burke - Jean/Scott
“Don’t even speak to me Scott Summers.” Jean Grey Summers growled at her husband as he walked through the door of their home. “You mister, are in the dog house big time.”
Scott gave her a completely innocent expression and asked, “What I do?”

Escape and Evade by L. Burke - Jean/Scott
I remember once Scott and I were playing one of those stupid little games that are made for couples to play together. The question that Scott drew was “Off the top of your head, state two words that would best describe your life.” Did he fire out words like, happily married? Oh no. The two words that Scott chose after thinking about it were “Escape and Evade.” Sometimes, I think about those words. I damn Charles Xavier for them. I damn myself for them. Most times I just damn Scott for them.
Scott/Emma:
What If Scott Summers Lost His Powers? by Handyhunter - Emma/Scott
The world looked different without the thin lines that usually enclosed Scott's field of vision. He rejected yet another pair of glasses; so far, all the ones he'd tried lacked. . .authority.

Ghosts by GrayJay - Scott and Charles, Alex and Scott
He’s not quite three, and his father is holding him up to look into Alex’s bassinet; impossibly tiny fingers warm under his hand when he reaches down, and he knows he’d do anything for-- His dad’s voice, You’re a big brother now, Scott. Do you know what that means? He’s twenty-two, half doubled over in a chair Professor Xavier’s office, clutching a crumpled sheet of paper, and everything is red; and he thinks, It means this.
Against the World by GrayJay - Alex and Scott
And that’s the hardest part, Alex thinks--all the tiny ways his brother hasn’t changed, waiting just under the surface to ambush him as soon as he starts to think he’s come to terms with the fact that they’re never going to be able to pick up where they left off, that they’re both really fucking broken in ways a weekend of beer and blanket forts probably isn’t going to fix.

Now, slumped on the edge of the hospital bed in the remains of his costume, their Fearless Leader--who always has another contingency plan, who can pilot an SR-71 through a lightning storm without breaking a sweat--suddenly seems very young and very scared.
Speed on the Inside Line by GrayJay - Alex and Scott, Jean/Scott
The last two weeks have been a nonstop avalanche of fucked-up: mad scientists and friendly Egyptology professors who turn out to be supervillains, and robots, and honest-to-god fucking dinosaurs, and waking up tied to an altar with a knife against his neck, and his brother is fucking Cyclops; and if he’s been dealing so far, it’s only because he hasn’t taken the time to think about it all at once.
Scott and Alex, in the aftermath.
Kobayashi Maru by GrayJay - Hank and Scott friendship, Jean/Scott

I remember once Scott and I were playing one of those stupid little games that are made for couples to play together. The question that Scott drew was “Off the top of your head, state two words that would best describe your life.” Did he fire out words like, happily married? Oh no. The two words that Scott chose after thinking about it were “Escape and Evade.” Sometimes, I think about those words. I damn Charles Xavier for them. I damn myself for them. Most times I just damn Scott for them.
Scott/Emma:
What If Scott Summers Lost His Powers? by Handyhunter - Emma/Scott
The world looked different without the thin lines that usually enclosed Scott's field of vision. He rejected yet another pair of glasses; so far, all the ones he'd tried lacked. . .authority.
