Title: King of Night Vision
Author: musamea
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men and I am definitely not making any money off of them!
Summary: Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there. Seven times Scott knew about the Phoenix.
A/N: Written in the 2007 xmmficathon for likeadeuce, who requested: "As the bombshells of my daily fears explode, I try to trace them to my youth" ("Galileo," Indigo Girls). You can ignore X-3 events, but I'd love some hints of the Phoenix-backstory as told in X3. What did Scott know and when did he know it? Except for Jean's movieverse backstory, I play fast and loose with the characters' ages and origins. "My" Warren was one of Xavier's original students.

I was recently thinking about how we all have our own personal canon. It's not so much what we pick and choose to utilize from actual canon -- i.e. writing character Y into movieverse or X3 denial fic (and doesn't that verge on AU?) -- but rather scraps of backstory that we created for some fic or another that somehow then fixes itself into our minds as something-that-actually-happened.

I know that I write most of my stories along a certain continuum. Even though all non-series pieces can be read as stand-alones, practically all my works theoretically exist in the same theoretical universe. My theoretical universe, with authorized canon trappings. (Of course, there can be overlap of one kind or another. I delight in going through every. single. special feature and listenting to every. single. commentary of nearly all the films that I watch [you can see what a potential black hole of time this could be, especially when it comes to something like LotR], and a lot of times it's the deleted features or the director musing aloud about an abandoned plot point that sets the gears in motion. Part of "my" X-verse backstory involves the abandoned X2 plotline that Hank's secondary mutation was triggered by Charles in Cerebro. See?)

I think it's the might-have-beens that add personal flair and flavor to a piece. They'll probably never make it into a story all their own, but somehow they color every other piece of writing that you do.

So, in no particular order, here are my ( Twenty Things that Might Have Happened at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters )
