To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.

A little late, but here is my fic contribuation to Rogue/Gambit Week 2026 ( @roguegambitweek ) Hope you enjoy.
I Have a List by DayenuRose
Summary: While Rogue contemplates leaving the X-Men, Gambit makes a list. Can he persuade her to come to New Orleans with him? He has five good compelling persuasive reasons why she should join him.
Unfortunately (for him), she’s not easy to convince. Will either one of them be brave enough to admit the truth?
Prompts:
Day 1 - “I have a list”
Day 3 - “I’m exactly where I’m suppose to be. By your side.”
Day 5 - “You and I, we could write a book about it. Been down the same roads.”
Alt Prompt 2 - Swamp rat/River rat
Excerpt:
“What do you want Swamp Rat?” Rogue shook off his hold. She’d always known he was cocky, she hadn’t taken him as foolhardy. No one got this close to her. No one touched her this casually. Especially with the expanse of bare skin across her shoulders and exposing her collarbone.
He smirked. “Come with me, River Rat.”
“Where?” Rogue crossed her arms and redoubled her glare. No smooth talking, two-bit Romeo was going to get the better of her.
“N’awlins.” The patois deepened as he drawled the name of his home town. Her heartbeat quickened at the honeyed drawl.
“Nuh-uh, sugah. I ain’t crossing state lines with you.” She shouldn’t be in this shady alley with him, let alone another state.
“Not even if I said pretty please.” He brushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “With sugar on top.”
Rogue, Gambit, and the stories they read (and sometimes write).
Happy Rogue/Gambit Week! I have another Rec List for y'all. Inspired by this week's prompt, "You and I, we could write a book about it.", I’m rec’ing fics featuring Rogue, Gambit, and books. As I compiled this list, I chose fics in which the books (or the reading/writing thereof) played a part in their relationship and not just the mention of books/libraries/bookstores. With that said, I did read a bunch of great fics which were book-related, but just didn’t quite meet my requirements for this list. Also, there are a few fics I remember reading in the past, which I wanted to include on this list, but, alas, I could not find them again (and therefore can’t include them). So, as always, if your favorite fic isn’t on the list, no slight was intended.
Happy reading!
So, in the immortal words of Remy LeBeau, "I have a list..."

10 Fics Where Romy Reads a Book...
Jolabokaflod by Ginger375
Rating: G | Universe: X-Men: Evo | Words: 562 | Status: Oneshot | Date: December 25, 2020
Summary:
Post-series. Remy introduces Rogue to her new favorite holiday tradition. Just a little Christmas ficlet for y’all.
Notes: This is a short, sweet, and fun little read. It's a cozy fic for a cozy holiday. I like to read this fic as part of my own celebration of Jolabokaflod.
It’s not love, but it’s something by Julia456
Rating: T | Universe: X-Men: Evo | Words: 2,616 | Status: Oneshot | Date: January 20, 205
Summary:
Tonight Gambit may have bypassed the Institute’s security system and picked the lock on her bedroom window, but he’s polite enough to make noise while he’s doing it. Or: Rogue’s just trying to read a book. Gambit interrupts.
Notes: This is a sweet fic where Rogue’s reading material provides a springboard for conversation, forgiveness, and some flirty banter. On a side note, have you ever notice how many books Rogue reads about thieves and scoundrels as the love interest? I think she has a type.
He Ruined a Perfectly Good Book by LaylaYuy
Rating: T | Universe: X-Men: Evo | Words: 1,076 | Status: Oneshot | Date: October 22, 2011
Summary:
Arriving back at the mansion after the events of Cajun Spice Rogue finds out her little adventure in Louisiana had some unexpected consequences.
Notes: Have you ever read a book and thought, ‘that character reminds me of Gambit’? Yeah, so has Rogue. For the record, I do think the lady doth protest too much. (And, I don’t think her other reading option will help her ‘forget’ about Remy anytime soon. You’ll just have to read the fic to decide for yourself.)
As In The Gold of Troy by LaylaYuy
Rating: T | Universe: X-Men: Evo | Words: 2,338 | Status: Oneshot | Date: June 14, 2013
Summary:
The further adventures of Rogue reading with Gambit (unintentionally or otherwise) on her mind… A loose sequel to ‘He Ruined a Perfectly Good Book.’
Notes: Obviously, this is a sequel to LaylaYuy’s other fic. I love these two fics. When I decided on the theme for the rec list, this was the first fic I thought about including. There’s just something so relatable about Rogue’s experience. And, as a bonus, I was introduced to a new-to-me book series and author through this fic, which is always a delightful treat. (Yes, that’s a book rec in a fic that is on a fanfic rec list…)
Oliver Twist by PleaseTakeAwayMyInternet
Rating: G | Universe: XtAS | Words: 1,984 | Status: Oneshot | Date: December 10, 2021
Summary:
Learning to read without being able to go to school isn’t the easiest thing. But if you manage to do it, those first books you read stick with you forever.
Notes: This one is a little light on the ‘Romy’, but I like that it’s one of the few fics where Remy is the focus of the reading. We get to know a little more about our favorite thief through his choice of literature.
Smut as a Social Activity by Rosetintedshades
Rating: G | Universe: X-Men: Evo | Words: 707 | Status: Oneshot | Date: December 23, 2022
Summary:
What better way to meet someone than catching them reading a fic on your phone over your shoulder?
…there a bunch better ways to be honest, but that’s the one Anna Marie got.
Notes: Another short, fun fic. There’s something that feels slightly transgressive about reading fanfic in public—especially if you’re reading smut—but, who knows, maybe you’ll make a friend.
Of Heists and Hearts by Verthril
Rating: T | Universe: X-Men: Comics | Words: 57,380 | Chapters: 16 | Status: Complete | Date: January 2-December 28, 2013
Summary:
Ororo Munroe, thief extraordinaire the world over, has played a game of cat and mouse with him for years. But when James “Logan” Howlett finally catches her, he makes an offer she can’t refuse. AU - No Powers - RoLo, Romy
Notes: Romy is definitely the secondary couple here, but books and bookstores play a definite role in their relationship. There is so much flirtation through reading romance novels. This fic really ought to have more reads on ao3. Please give it a chance. This fic has it all--action, books, family feels, and romance. It's great and the Romy is endearing. Definitely worth a read.
Chapter 2 - Words of To Carry My Heart by DayenuRose
Rating: T | Universe: X-Men: Comics | Words: 2,198 (14,247) | Chapters: 5 | Status: Complete | Date: February 6, 2020 - January 27, 2021
Summary:
Rogue discovers another item Remy keeps in his pockets and learns a little more about him.
Notes: Typically in fics around this theme, the focus is on Rogue and her book collection, but this one features Remy’s reading habits. Besides, bonding with the love of your life over poetry, what can be better? This fic is a 5+1, but each chapter works as a oneshot.
A Year With Romy: January - Snow Day by DayenuRose
Rating: T | Universe: X-Men: Comics | Words: 2,035 | Status: Oneshot | Date: January 28, 2023
Summary:
Rogue hates the cold and snow. She thought Remy did as well, but he is positively giddy at the thought of a snow day Will he be able to change her mind Or, will Rogue remain shivering until the spring thaw?
Notes: On a cold, snow day (or a rainy one), there’s nothing better than curling up with a good book. Right? Honestly, even if you don’t read the fic, check out Emyryld’s fantastic fanart which inspired this fic.
Choices by DayenuRose
Rating: G | Universe: X-Men: Comics | Words: 638 | Status: Oneshot | Date: August 10, 2024
Summary:
Rogue has an important decision to make.
Romance or Adventure?
Adventure or Romance?
If she can only have one, which should she choose?
Notes: I have such a soft spot for stories which seem like they might be about one thing, only to turn out to be about something else. Hopefully that’s not too much of a spoiler here.
... +1 Fic Where They Wrote a Book
Chapter 10 - Day by Day of Threads by Ludi_Ling
Rating: M | Universe: X-Men: Comics | Words: 9,147 (94,958) | Chapters: 10 | Status: Complete | Date: May 14, 2004 - January 1, 2011
Summary:
One single romance writer plus one married art dealer equals Rogue and Gambit in the real world.
Notes: This is not the first time I’ve recommended a chapter of Threads for one of these lists, and it probably won’t be the last. Each chapter is an alternate universe, and can be read on its own. Although, with this chapter (Ch. 10) being the last chapter, you will get more out of the chapter if you read the whole fic. It's a good fic and worth the read, even if the rest of the chapters aren't about books or writers. This is one of the few fics where it actually features Rogue as a writer (instead of just a reader). Therefore, proving they really can write a book.
Hope you enjoyed this rec list and found something new to read (or re-read). Please share the love with these authors by commenting and kudos-ing/liking their fics. 💖

We are half a week out from Rogue/Gambit Week 2026!
This is our seventh year running R/G Week. Each year we have had so many amazing contributions. We can't wait to see what you're all creating. You help each Rogue/Gambit Week be a success.
I feel a little Baby LeBeau art has been long overdue! I was trying to decide between a Wolverine, Nightcrawler or Jubilee bear but I felt Wolverine lends himself to a bear design rather well. 😂
Little kids sharing their snacks and drinks with their favorited stuffed animal is always adorable to me. 😭😍
(I may or may not have been doodling this while talking about Romy with a group of super cool people this weekend. 👀)

Five Ways You Can Participate in Rogue/Gambit Week 2026
With less than three weeks until the start of Rogue/Gambit Week 2026, we hope you’re having a lot of fun creating your Romy Week fanworks. In case you want to participate, but have no idea what to do, here are a few suggestions
1 - Create
However you express your creativity, use that to create something Romy related. Choose your favorite creative verb (write, draw, sing, sew, bake, knit, etc) and do that. There’s no limit on what you can do. Have fun. We can’t wait to see what you create.
2 - Make a list
While it is always appropriate to share a list, this year it even fits the prompts. (“I have a list”). Your list could be on top five kisses, favorite animated moments, must read Romy moments in comics, favorite fanfics, songs with a Romy vibe, etc. You can even mix and match prompts—such as create a list of top honeymoon (or, second honeymoon) locations (when’s the honeymoon?). The possibilities are endless.
3 - Spread the word
Sharing, Liking, and reflagging are great ways to share the Rogue/Gambit week. Help spread the word far and wide. The more people who know about it, the more opportunities people have to participate, and the more Romy goodness available for all of us to enjoy.
4 - Comment/Review
As the fanworks start coming in, leave a comment letting the creator know how much you appreciate their hard work. Creators love receiving comments. It encourages them to keep creating.
5 - Tell a friend
Do you have friends who are Romy fans, but not on Tumblr? Let them know about Rogue/Gambit week. Point them towards the prompts.
