Indica's life has been a struggle since she was 12. Forced into isolation and deprived of human connection for years, the burden of solitude weighed heavily on her, even as a mutant. Now, at 25, she's found refuge in the remote mountains of Canada after fleeing Striker. Alone in her sanctuary, Indi grapples with mastering the so-called "gift" she was given, all while learning to trust both humans and mutants.
Her journey introduces her to Logan, Abys, and other mutants, each with their own shadows. As she strives to control her powers, she also aids her new friends in uncovering their own dark pasts. Amidst these challenges, Indi navigates her evolving sense of self, her new life, and the possibility of finding love.

Claws and Heartstrings: Logan Howlett | Wolverine ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི
At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Lalia Azali hides more than most. She's not just a surgeon-she's this universe's Scarlet Witch, a title whispered with fear and awe, tied to a power she never wanted and a fate she can't outrun. Logan sees through the walls she's built. He's brutal, broken, and drawn to her in a way neither of them can explain. What begins as wary glances and sharp remarks slowly turns into something deeper-something dangerous. But when love threatens to unravel the control she's fought so hard to maintain, Lalia faces an impossible choice: protect the world from what she could become... or let herself fall for the one man who's already seen the worst in her-and stayed. { Wolverine x OC } -Ranked #1 under Hugh Jackman - All characters, locations, and elements from the X-Men universe are the property of Marvel Comics and their respective creators.

Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete
Claws of the Empire
In between Weapon X and the X-Men, Logan finds himself stranded in a world that leads him straight in the path of a warrior with claws as sharp as his. She's a traitor to her people, fresh out of her empire's cage, but still not free. He's still trying to convince himself he doesn't care, hiding under the old mask of "wrong place, wrong time." Both of them are liars, and both of them know it. He's in deeper than he realizes, and he can't stay away from a warrior with the pain and heart to match his own. A re-work of an original story I started, but removed before I finished. I ended up completely changing the POV while keeping the story intact, because I have the worst case of "can't leave it alone-itis."

Logan & The Badger
Logan was the only survivor of the Westchester incident-at least, he thought so, until Kell, a dagger-wielding mutant who has the ability to jump through the multiverse shows up at his and Charles' front door asking for asylum. Kell survived her own Westchester incident in her universe, losing her whole family of X-Men, including her best friend Logan Howlett. After a year of running from the pain and contemplating her life's purpose, she decides she wants to jump to a universe where she can be a part of something real again. When she arrives at this one, however, she comes face to face with an older, much more run down version of Logan, and neither of them can fight off the sudden realization that they aren't lone survivors anymore. Both must navigate a life with an equally unstable Charles Xavier, while finally coming to terms with these confusing, and ultimately all-consuming feelings that seem to keep pulling them together. And once a mutant child named Laura unexpectedly appears in their lives, they start to discover exactly how crucial their partnership really is.
