Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: Does she dare disturb the universe? X3 wasn’t the first time Jean Grey wrestled with her powers. Set about 10 years before the first movie.

I was curious when I first read this. I was addicted to likeadeuce's fics when I finished. This story is what fanfiction should strive to be. It's got spot on characterization, witty dialogue, and a punch that makes this story worth reading many times.

A small excerpt: The boy's eyes shine bright cold green, open and alive. There is nothing behind them. His head lies back against the hospital pillow. Dr. Ellis Vail stands by the bed, lecturing to twelve medical students, crowded into the room with their noisy minds. I am one of them, and I am not.

My name is Jean Grey. I am twenty-four years old.

My name is Phoenix. I am ageless and endless.

Together we understand.
