Prose Alchemist

Title: Last Call
Author: jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: PG.
Characters: Lyman, Wolverine, Stryker.
Setting: Fifteen years before the movies.
Summary: Sergeant Lyman reflects on his fateful acquaintance with Wolverine.
Disclaimer: They belong to Marvel and Fox, not me.
Notes: For those who don’t know, Sergeant Lyman was the ill-fated but highly attractive soldier baddie played by Peter Wingfield in X2. The events described here take place after my story "When I’m Gone", and are part of my Past Imperfect series. Any parallels between certain scenes in this and my story "Sole Survivor" are entirely intentional.

( I knew him simply as Wolverine. )

Title: Dogtags
Author: jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for violence.
Characters: Anonymous, but the narrator should become quite recognizable.
Setting: Somewhere in Europe, December 1944.
Summary: A young soldier’s nightmare begins.
Disclaimer: Marvel and Fox create the characters that sell. Not me.
Notes: Part of my Past Imperfect series. Although it stands well on its own, this is a companion piece to my story "Sole Survivor", and the two are best read in sequence. Here the tale of the old soldier is revisited, from a very different perspective.
In memory of Nikita, 1992-2003.

( Falkeberg was the most depressing place I’d ever seen. )

Title: When I’m Gone
Author: jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG.
Characters: Logan, his antagonist, and a cameo appearance by X2’s most attractive goon.
Setting: Roughly fifteen years before the films.
Summary: Every man has his reasons.
Disclaimer: Marvel and Fox create the characters that sell. Not me.
Notes: This is the first entry in what I eventually named the Past Imperfect series—my own take on Logan's past. It started with a single question: what would it take to drive a man to the depths William Stryker implied at the end of X2?

( The red folder on the desk sat mocking me. )
