((*speechless* Just...guh. Absolutely bravo.))

Thanks. :) It wrote itself, I claim no responsibility for it.

I'm curious -- what is your favorite part?

((I like the Sean/Scott exchanges. I can just see it played out as off-panel scenes of Deadly Genesis in which Cyke deals with grief and a crisis of faith that he always manages to avoid in canon.

They better have a funeral issue for Sean, dammit.

And Cable/Scott because it's Cable/Scott. Never has been explored enough.))

((Woo. This... yes. Beautiful. And really shows the flaw with the way Xavier--and Scott by extension--see things. And Sean... poor Sean only ever wanted what was best for everyone.))

*feels warm and tingly inside* Thanks! It wrote itself, sometime in the depths of the night, after 36 hours with no sleep. I really didn't have anything to do with it.

I'll ask you what I'm asking everyone, because I really feel divorced from this fic and am curious as to how it affects people -- what's the part that speaks to you the most?

Hrm. I think probably the second section with Cable and Scott (And it really is Cable and Scott there, not Cable and Cyclops or Nathan and Scott) because it's very... bald and honest and truly how the two of them see these things.

Of course, I could talk for forever and ever on Xavier's dream and why it's flawed and how everyone's gotten trapped by one man's personal philosophy, but I think I'll stick with just saying that much. *G*

That's my favorite part to. Cable is so willing to admit what he has made X-Force into, and he offers no apologies for it, and Scott can't understand that.

Talk as much as you want. I haven't slept more than two hours in the past 60 and I'm trying to do differential equations and somewhere about ten pages of equations ago I started writing in my head an essay on how the formation of Gen X was in direct response to the X-Men's realization, through the X-Cutioner's Song xover events and following, that they no longer had any control over X-Force. If I ever get done with this damn math before I have to physically walk out of this room to catch my plane tomorrow (this) morning, I will type it up.
