Disclaimer: I do not own Legion.
Here it is, the start of my next Christmas Track List. I'm starting now to give you guys more time to enjoy it, and so I can also work on my older stuff I haven't finished. Like, all of them.
0. Upon A Midnight Clear
An idea came knocking "knock-knock-knock". She was curled up in an arm chair in the corner of the lounge, right next to the tree. All warm and cozy with a book in her hand. The title was "River Run" a graphic novel about the Swamp Thing. The story told of how a writer's ghost was trapped in an unfinished book of short stories. These stories took place at different parts of the Mississippi River, diverging into alternate histories. Alternate worlds, like Earth-2, Earth-3, Earth-X, Earth-Prime, etc.
It was the holiday season, and she could not think of what to get her friend, her very dear friend, for the holiday. Reading this book, the idea came to her. Instead of buying something, why not make something instead? She'll write him a book. A book? Why not, a book! She'll write down a list, in order to better arrange the flow of the stories. She'll write one story starting at the earliest year she could think of, and write her way down the timeline.
She dashed out of the lounge to her room, careful to make sure no one was awake so as to arouse suspicion of her clever plan, and pulled out a stack of writing paper and a red pen. She placed the tip of the pen down to the paper, but stopped before she could jot down a letter. She realized something important. Upon reading that book, she remembered the fatal flaw that kept that poor author's book unfinished. She would need something to link her stories together. Not just the holiday season, though, she'd need something else. There were two tying factors in those stories. She would need one as well. And inspiration hit her again. She might as well use herself for these stories. She had plenty on material to write about. In her line of work. Being a superhero isn't exactly boring business.
So Ebony Dent began writing about the Legion of Super-Heroes.
