Author's note:

For those concerned with continuity, this goes AU sometime after the Gambit Trial in Antarctica, and probably ropes in a character or two that isn't part of the regular X-Men teams anymore. Uhm, I'm sorry?

A warning is also probably due: this is slash, which means m/m relationships. If this bothers you, please skip. There are many other fine reading options just a click away.

Warning #2: This is an experiment with second-person POV narration.
