This is quite lovely, sad with an edge of wry humor. My favorite bit has to be the return address.

Thank you!

Oh, darling, this is lovely. THANK YOU.

I just love the teenage kids meeting, and Scott wishing Reed was a mutant so he could come home with them, and Reed being the closest thing to a friend he has outside work, which is also home and. . .

I don't know, maybe my favorite part is that Reed is the one guy on earth who could make Scott Summers NOTICE a lack of irony.

You're welcome, but you know that. :)

The irony-free boys need many, many adventures together.

This worked really well. It was good.

Thank you!

This is lovely. It's sad, of course, but it has this edge to it, this lighter thread of implied optimism, and it makes the story layered and absolutely wonderful. I ache for Scott here, and his loss, and the way he has to share his loss with everyone else in the school.

Thank you for writing this story.

Thank you so much, I'm glad it worked for you!

I didn't know her well. That's what he had come down here for. Someone who didn't have the slightest claim on his grief and wouldn't try to make one.

Oh. Yes. So much yes. That was so right.

Thank you!
