10:07 pm - FIC - Freedom and Necessity, 1/7 (X-men AU, Rogue/Gambit, Adult) In the dark underbelly of Prohibition-era America, the seductive mutant Rogue will do literally anything to retain control over her powers, even serve the nefarious needs of evil Clan Akkaba. But when her work requires her to murder an entire group of not-so-innocent Assassins, the stakes become too high. She turns to the best thief in the world, one Remy LeBeau, in order to help her complete her mission and regain her independence. But her secrets are ones that he’d kill to know, and her actions are ones that he’d die to avenge. Title: Freedom and Necessity, 1/7 Authors: vikingprincess and eyelessblade Fandom: X-men 616/Evo!Verse AU, with some DC characters imported Main Characters: Rogue/Gambit Rating/Warnings: Mature Adult (graphic sexual description, extreme violence, sexual abuse of a consenting partner) Disclaimers: We do not own, nor do we make any profit from, the canon characters from Marvel and DC or the original Apocalypse-related storyline used as inspiration and starting points for this story. Archiving Policy: Do not archive, copy, screen cap, excerpt or otherwise use or save in any way without the express written permission of both authors. Thank you A/N: The title is taken from a novel by the incomparable Emma Bull and the brilliant Steven Brust, because it just fits so very well. The story, however, takes no influence from the novel, nor is it based on it in any way, since we haven’t read it yet! (Busy writing, you know how it goes!) Chapter One

We've been nommed in three categories: Best Crossover with a Movie, Best NC-17, and Best Author. Thank you so much, whoever did that for us! Even if we don't win or receive a runner-up nod, it'll be worth it to have more people reading the story, which was a real labor of love for both of us.

Or will he be defeated by opponents with powers that are a match and more for his own? At the same time, amidst the ever-shifting lines between good and evil, can confirmed rake, thief, and gambler Remy LeBeau manage to evade the entrapping web of his own criminal associations and defeat the Sherlockian mind of the vampire-turned-hero? Or will the sensual distraction of a beautiful American widow prove his downfall? COMPLETE: SNOWBOUND 14/14 (BtVS) by vikingprincess (all chapters) Rating: Adults only Warnings: Language, Consensual Teenaged Sex Summary: Bad boy Spike’s literature professor father William Fyne moves to Deerfield, Massachusetts, to take over a position at Deerfield Academy.

NEW: FREEDOM AND NECESSITY, 1/7 (Xmen) by vikingprincess and eyelessblade. This story is complete, but not all posted.

None for X-men, though there are Mutant Registration Act and Civil War connections implied, never explicitly stated. Additional Warnings: NotAHappyFic ™ It's post-Apocalyptic in two senses, and that's never cheerful. There will be multiple character deaths, both in flashbacks and as the story progresses. Summary: In a post-NFA world, Angel has lost everything: his Shanshu signed away, his friends dead... and his soul gone, worn to nothing but rags that aren’t enough to stop Angelus from rising to take control. Humans are hard to find, most far too fragile to have survived the Apocalypse. But a new breed of prey has emerged from the ashes... or perhaps they were there all along. Mutants. Angelus discovers that prey that fights back just… tastes better. Nuclear War becomes the final solution of terrified humans, running scared from Homo Superior. Billions die to slaughter a few thousands... civilization will never rise again. But in the ashes of a terrifying new world, Rogue discovers that mutants aren't all that humans should have been fearing, and that demons think mutants are just a little more fun to hunt. Rogue would much rather be the hunter than the hunted.

A/N: These Interludes follow our BtVS/Xmen crossover Victorian story Duplicity, wherein Holmesian investigator Angel and his apprentice Xander were hired by Miss Cordelia Chase and her bluestocking companion Willow Rosenberg to investigate the dastardly kidnapping of Cordelia's dearest friend Rogue, at a time when women were being surgically carved and their bodies found with parts missing. While Rogue's kidnapper had taken her for other reasons, all five, as well as the kidnapper himself, a confirmed rake and gambler named Remy LeBeau, joined forces against a greater evil than they could possibly have imagined. Alas, there were decidedly not happy endings for all. Rogue, in particular, went on the run with a pickpocket she acquired on the docks of London, Faith Lehane, but LeBeau pursued them across Europe and Northern Africa, determined to reclaim the woman he loved. Herein follows some of that which occurred afterwards.
