Annwn
(PG-13)
Decades
after Cable's death fighting Apocalypse, Domino comes to his grave one last
time, and discovers that some things are stronger than death... This has to
be one of my favorite of my stories. Initially inspired by the movie 'What
Dreams May Come', it flowed so smoothly, and felt so right, both during the
writing process and afterwards. It's one of the few fics of mine that I reread
regularly, just because I like to re-experience the warm glow it originally left
me with. Someone, I think possibly Duey, called this a fairy tale about love. I
can't think of a better description, or one that makes me feel more confident
that I hit exactly the note I was aiming for with this story.
This
is one of my favorites - it is a beautiful story that will touch your soul.

Chalice
(PG)
An Elseworlds tale. A lady and a knight rescue each other
in a most unusual way... My first attempt at an Elseworlds, and probably the
only fic of mine that I'm seriously considering rewriting as an original piece
(in a slightly different perspective, of course. Sometimes experimentation can
be taken too far...;).
Christmas In The Taiga
(PG-13)
Just when Domino thinks her luck's run out, she's
miraculously rescued from a very dangerous situation. But dealing with her
rescuer may be the real challenge... This was my Christmas story for 2000,
an attempt to write a Cable/Dom story set more-or-less in the challenging
'climate' of then-current continuity. (Not that the situation seems to have
gotten any better in the time since!) It wound up considerably more hopeful than
I expected it to. Will wonders never cease... ;)
Hellfire And Damnation
1 2 3 in progress...
(R)
Domino is drawn into the
affairs of the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle, and Cable attempts to save her,
only to discover that the situation is a great deal more complicated than either
of them thought. Another trip into the realm of
dark-fic, and one of my first fics set in the six-month gap before the X-Men
'Revolution'. It's a remarkable narrative device, really, and one I've returned
to many times. I was intrigued, post-Revolution, when it was revealed that Cable
had been looking for Domino for months, and I started to wonder about why...
The Hunters
1 in progress...
(R)
After X-Force's
last, disastrous mission, Cable finds Domino to enlist her help in his
search for Sam. I loathed the way the REAL X-Force ended.
Loatheditloathedit. Don't even get me started on the new team. This is my
attempt to 'fix' things, at least to the extent I can do it without rewriting
canon completely. After all, the real challenge is to stay 'within the
lines'.
I Left My Heart On
Seikosha IX
(PG-13)
When X-Force has moved
into the mansion and Cable is wearing himself out trying to do everything
himself, Domino decides to take steps. Now, this fic was a terrible amount
of fun to write, really. It was one of my early attempts at a straight--um,
well, it's not particularly graphic, so I can't really call it erotica, but it
definitely flirts with the edges of erotica--well-laced with comedy, though.
Just Believe
(PG)
What if the Twelve Saga had ended happily? What would Cable
and Domino have done on New Year's Eve, 2000? You've probably figured out by
now that I didn't like the Twelve Saga. This was yet another attempt to give it
a different (in this case happy) ending.
The Lake
(PG)
Nathan and Domino take some time away. If you ask
me which of my fics I'm proudest of, this one is certainly near the top of the
list. It's short and relatively simple, plot-wise, but I don't think I've ever
managed to write anything quite like it. Whenever I finally start writing
original fiction, this is the model I'm going to be using.
Losing Myself In
You
(R)
On the way back from the
Negev, Cable and Domino deal with the feelings stirred up by the
end-of-the-world-that-wasn't. My very first piece of erotica. I can remember
how nervous I was, posting this--it's kind of funny, in retrospect. Reading it
now, I can see all kinds of things I would have done differently if I'd been
writing it today, but hey, you've got to start somewhere with this kind of
thing.
Moving Mountains
(PG-13)
After Apocalypse's death, Nathan convinces Domino to come
rock-climbing with him, and despite awkwardness and near-disaster, they begin to
deal with some of the issues between them. Duey's birthday fic for 2001, and
possibly the start of a series--if I ever get the chance to get back to
it.
Necessary Evils
(R)
Domino has moved on with her life and joined a new mercenary
group, but when one of their jobs conflicts disastrously with Cable's latest
personal crusade, how far will Domino go to secure the information she and her
new friends need to save themselves--the information that only Cable has, and
isn't willing to share? This is also going to be a series, if I ever get the
chance to get back to it. The scenario is too good to waste on a single sort,
and I grew rather fond of the group of original characters here.
#offtherecord
(PG)
Cable, G.W. Bridge and a surprise 'guest' share an online
chatroom. An experiment in format, done in the style of an IRC chatroom log;
not one that I think I'd ever repeat (there's a limited amount of potential in
it, really), but it turned out well enough this time.
Open Your Mind
(G)
Cable and Domino explore their psi-link. Written for the
350 Word Challenge on OTL... and I actually came in under the limit.
Renowned Be Thy
Grave
(PG-13)
In a dark future
controlled by the Sentinels, an X-Man remembers Cable and Domino and the
sacrifice they made. One of my first attempts to redeem my somewhat shoddy
treatment of Storm in my early fic.
Sailing The Sky
(PG)
Domino and Cable share a quiet afternoon of introspection
and cloud-watching. Somewhat mushy, but I still like the image of them
cloud-watching. :)
A beautiful look at Dom and Nate being both
whimsical and serious. ~JenMorrioghan
Surfacing
(PG-13)
In the wake of the Psi-War, Domino goes looking for
Cable--right in time to wind up in the middle of the Nemesis Contract. Here
I took another stab at 'fixing' Marvel. I just couldn't believe that Domino
wouldn't go looking for Cable when their psi-link broke. Marvel's terribly
inconsistent about things like that.
This
is a definite Must Read - the Nemesis Contract as Marvel should have written it.
:) ~JenMorrioghan
Trust Me
(PG-13)
Domino tries to talk Cable out of doing something drastic.
Another experiment with the half-a-conversation format, and one that turned
out particularly well, I think.
