Secret Mutant Madness rec
Secret Mutant has always been one of my fave exchanges, I love the idea of it, many great fics have sprung from it and I have joined in a few times before myself. This year I had no time to write at all and the ways I experience fandom have been changing too, but @gerec convinced me to leave some Madness prompts and @flightinflame wrote a beautiful fic for one of them!
Trapped by terror by flightinflame [Gen]
A little girl can't sleep, and the mansion burns. A little girl can't sleep, and a car crashes on a water-logged street. A little girl can't sleep, and ghosts walk the night.
Itās a beautifully haunting fic about Jean, her nightmares and what they can do to the people around her. Itās also a canon compliant fic that really makes you understand why Charles decided to subdue the Phoenix Force and itās painful yet hopeful at the same time. I fear itās a little overlooked since there is no major pairing in it, so go and check out this little gem now :DĀ
