Poor Scott, what a nightmare to be in a room full of people trying to get under his skin and make fun at his expanse, and no, I'm definitely saying no the idea of Scott being blood-related to Gambit (well, except when it's you writing the Summers brothers storyline, of course, any hint when we'll get to see the sequel of Elemental?), whether he's the mom or dad, or how am I to get people to write Scott/Gambit slash if they were family?
And I can see you extract some info/idea from X-Men: the End, which is one of the worst stories Claremont came up with lately, no offense if you like it.

[xenokattz]

These days, Scott doesn't take it. He did blast them all out of the room. ;)

I completely and utter adore The End. *L* But, hey, I get the heebie-jeebies thinking about Scott/Remy slash but that's because I'm to invested in the idea of them being related somehow. To each their own, eh?

And Azimuth is still in the works. Sunshine kind of ate my brain. Sorry!

I figure I'll have it totally plotted out by the end of December. Maybe earlier if I can get the Sunshine edits done faster.

*howling with laughter*

that's great. That so great I think it fried my brain. I adore your xmen, and I adore your Scott torture even more. And this is the proof that even without supervillains, life at the institute is life-threatening.

(did Scott had to go on matching vintage wallpaper hunt?)

[xenokattz]

Heee! Thank you very much and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Those baseball/football/dinner issues have always been my favourite.

And Scott made Bobby look for matching vintage wallpaper. Bobby whined at first but then he got the salesperson's phoen number and a date for the next few weeks so it all ended well. Logan gave Scott a cigar with a blue ribbon. Remy smoked it and told Scott that living in sin with Emma was no way to raise a child. Rogue just went into giggle-fits at odd, random times.

[alexiel_neesan]

I totally feel for Rogue. I still have a crazy grin on.

Awww, poor Scott. Always the go-to guy when folks need someone to pick on. Makes for great fic though. All angsty and funny at the same time. XD

[xenokattz]

That's because he takes it. What everyone underestimates is how well Scott funnels his passive-aggressive tendencies into pranks. No one really has to wake up at 5 a.m. to battle half the villain's gallery with no powers and limited resources. In fact, Scott needs three cups of extremely strong coffee to fake his wakefullness. But he inwardly grins every time his target of choice gets his/her ass whupped in the Danger Room.

I wish I had something clever to say, but does it help that I'm still giggling?
This is one for the memories.

[xenokattz]

Yes, yes it does! Thanks for giving it a read!

There are days when I come to realize that I need a Scott icon. Today is one of those days.

I'm pretty certain I've told you I adore how dryly sarcastic and passive-agressive your Scott is, and how your dorktastic (and yet somehow suave at the same time) Remy makes me smile every time. This is no exception. Plus, you manage to nail everyone else too.

For the record, I'm still giggling a good five minutes after actually reading this. Sweet blue coffee cups, I love the Summers Family Tree. May it continue to baffle and amuse.

[xenokattz]

They're both so wonderfully, painfully fun to write. I never get sick of it. Ever so glad you're giggling; maybe it's a little break from your hardcore studying this term, eh?

Thanks ever so for reading!
