...wow.

A very powerful look at why the family dynamics between Erik, Pietro and Wanda are the way they are. I love the way you blend 616!verse and WATX!verse.

Oh, why is your fic always so angsty? :D

Thank you very much for the comment! Squee :) Powerful? ::blush::

:D I... don't know? heh I'm actually generally pretty optimistic IRL. I'm just a sucker for drama I think XD.

"Powerful" is definitely the word to describe this. Magneto is so much larger than life, and his mistakes are much the same. He projected his love for his lost daughter onto Wanda, and his hatred for what he has become onto Pietro. And in the end, neither of his older children ended up being what he thought they would become.

But this makes me wonder, who's Lorna's mother?

I really enjoy doing this flip. I usually write how Magneto affects his children, it was neat to explore it from the other angle.

Um... if Civil War, House of M is correct, she's an American human student who helps Magneto with the mutant cause. But I don't know in WATX (heh...obviously). In that verse, Erik promises her mom that he's going to protect her, which there are definately themes of in WATX with how much he shelters her. There was a whole chunk of this story that dealt with that but it made things confusing so it got cut. I think it'd be something neat to explore too.

Thanks for the kind review! <3

You know what makes this especially awesome? You snuck in a Runaways reference.
