Summary: In earthquake-ravaged Haiti, a boy watches the unfolding of an extraordinary rescue mission.

Author: [livejournal.com profile] jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: PG for blood and dark themes.
Characters: Wolverine.
Setting: Alternate universe, three years prior to X1.
Summary: A dark encounter changes the course of Logan’s existence.
Disclaimer: Marvel and Fox create the characters that sell. The woman in black is mine.
Notes: I wrote this several years ago, as the prologue to an alternate-universe retelling of X1. I probably won’t get around to writing that for quite a while, if ever; but until then, the opening act stands on its own as an interesting—if very dark—curiosity.

Rating/Warnings: PG if you read it right…
Characters: Beast, as viewed by my original character Nora Tanner.
Setting: Sometime after my story titled "Beast".
Summary: Being Hank McCoy’s lover was all about power.
Disclaimer: Marvel and Fox create the characters that sell. I’m simply playing with them.
Notes: A four-hundred-word drabble. It’s a bit of a racy departure by my standards, exploring the attraction Hank holds for Nora—my OC from Beast. I highly recommend reading that much larger story before this one.

Title: Beast (Chapter 1 of 8)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG, for angst and adult situations.
Characters: Emphasis on Beast, with support from various other characters.
Setting: Mainly mid- to post-X2.
Summary: The personal journey of Henry McCoy—as a mutant, and as a man.
Disclaimer: Marvel and Fox create the characters that sell. Nora is mine, and so is Kristen, who has appeared in several of my stories.
Notes: In X2, there is a brief cameo by a non-furry character who is identified as being Hank McCoy. This seems to support the novelization by Chris Claremont, in which Hank’s bestial mutation is caused by Professor X’s psychic attack on mutantkind. That concept has always intrigued me, especially after I saw and loved Kelsey Grammer’s portrayal of Beast in X3. It lurked in the back of my mind for a long time—until my friend Wabbitseason gave me the idea that Hank’s blue fur might really have been a secondary development. After a few weeks in which I was unable to shake the thought, I finally sat down and began to write. Five months later, this is the result.
If you tilt this story at a slight angle, you can easily fit it in with the events of X3. For the record, I personally do not. I acknowledge nothing of that misbegotten film except Hank himself.

Henry McCoy was a mutant. )

Author: [livejournal.com profile] jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: G.
Characters: Logan and an OC.
Setting: Begins fifteen years before X1, and ends after X2.
Summary: What if Logan had escaped from Alkali Lake with his memories intact?
Disclaimer: Marvel and Fox create the characters that sell. The narrator of this story is mine.
Notes: Yes, it’s another one of my peculiar variations on movie!Logan’s past. However, please note that this “alternate theory” of sorts has no connection whatsoever to my Past Imperfect series (in fact, it mildly contradicts those stories). If anyone is interested, I may consider spinning this one-shot into something longer.

Get outta here, Brain-Sucker! )

Disclaimer: Marvel and Fox create the characters that sell. I merely own Firefly.
Notes: This is just a small, speculative offshoot of my Helen Conover stories, so it will make the most sense if you’ve read those. It is in no way meant to define the future of that storyline. (However, Firefly may turn up again, in some form.)

It was that mysterious moment of dusk suspended between day and night. )

With several other stories on my plate, I wasn’t planning to do one this year—but the mutants had other ideas. I submit this as a gift to my regular reader-reviewers. Happy New Year to all!
