Damn, I'm hitting jackpot on crack_van today. I switched fandoms when I had a little craving for some X-Men Movieverse fanfic and almost immediately ran across this little gem (Ave, Verum Corpus by loneastronomer). A fic that totally hit my Rogue love with this part:

He doesn't have the time to feel guilty; the memories are already fading. He grasps at them desperately. “The song,” he repeats. “What's it called?”


“I don't know,” she says. He can smell her defeat, shares it. “I hear it sometimes. At Christmas. And singing,” she adds, “Beautiful singing.” She looks away.


His memories, Logan thinks, and spends thirty seconds consumed by self-pity and jealousy. Then Marie says, “I'm an intruder in my own head,” and he hates himself a little bit for making her feel that way.

And now that I've had occasion to notice the author, I wonder if it's the same author as loneastronomer on fanfiction.net.
