Hermes~ I've got a new AU idea~ Or, well, mixing a few together and improving on them, I suppose.
We adore yandere X-Men Evolution and darling Remy, yes?
So, imagine an AU where mutants are kinda... off. Human, humanoid, yes, but to the left a little bit. Some, like Kurt and Hank and Mystique, are blue, have eyes that glow in the dark, fur/scales/fuzz, and additional powers besides their physical mutations. Others, like Xavier and Jean, have uncanny eyes, a shade too bright.
They also have odd habits.
Preferring groups of three or more, requiring certain nutrients and minerals over others (ex. iron, protein), overprotective instincts, aggression towards perceived threats, etc. .
And Remy?
Has never met another mutant before.
Not until he's sent undercover to discover who or what is making mutants disappear, and the epicenter of the disappearances?
Bayville.
oop. hes in for a shock isnt he!! he knows he has strange eyes but doesnt have a lot of the exact habits of other mutants due to his time with the theives. hes used to being alone or with just his older brother
For the wrong team au, how did the xmen find Remy?
So there was an... Accident that made remy show up on cerebros system.
Remy has been using his powers for a while, but he slips up when he and henri are fighting julien Boudreaux of the assassins guild. An exploasion gets away from remy and he hurts henri, giving him a burn scar across his face. Julien got a burn on his arm
Remy feels horrid at causeing his brother such pain and damage and is willing to do anything to make sure it dont happen again. Even if it means he has to go up north and cover parts of himself.
Henri is in pain and now blind in one eye, but holds no anger towards remy
Hermes. Au idea. Siren AU with rescued siren Remy, and platonic yandere Brotherhood, X-Men, and Acolytes... and of course, Creed! Plus Logan, and Ororo! Ye, or no?
oooh! Ill use my interpretation of sirens if thats okay. where they can be bird people who also can transform into mers.
Remy is a siren who has dark red scales and sings pretty as anything. he knows how to lure and how to fight, but his whole pod warns about trying to lure people. its too dangerous. always has been too dangerous. so he uses his songs to lure fish and to calm down scared dolphins. He likes playing just beyond the shallows and finding lost things to take for himself. he's really good at breaking things open without hurting the container too much.
one day he runs afoul of poachers who are over hunting the area and gets his tail ripped up and lots of gashes. he gets away but ends up washing up on some shore. He is found by logan who works at a local aquarium that has the right kinds of tools for fish care so he gets hauled there. merrs are known to exist, but alive ones dont ever get caught. not really. only one or two is in captivity, and that's with a super rich owner. so not much is known.
remy is scared of the eyes and the people and the fact that he got so choked on a piece of netting that his voice is croaky and not butter smooth.
ooh for spotigy thing 30 and the newer au, tired rabbit au
Cool!
from this post
Gambit shivers at the blast of wind that winds around him. He breathes deep and curls up on the ledge, balancing. He had spotted Sabretooth far below him earlier and he had decided to follow the guy a little. Sabretooth seems to not be looking for him this time. The man had broken into some odd record building and taken… files. This is not the first set of files that he has seen Sabretooth steal. Gambit had tried to figure out the pattern but the records seem random at times. Sometimes related to mutants. Sometimes related old newspapers.
He had trailed after Sabrtooth had stolen the files this afternoon, figuring that he could stand to learn a little more about the man that's been chasing him for so long. Sure, they had spoken through short range handheld radios before. But more information is always good. And… and…
Well.
Sabretooth is one of the only recurring faces in his life right now.
Gambit knows they are not friends. They are. Sabretooth still chases him and Gambit still evades the man’s claws.
But after a few months separated from family and seeing Sabretooth over and over …
Aye-ya-yi.
Gambit knows the man likes cherry pie best amongst the many sweets he enjoys. And that the man prefers meat over vegetables, the rawer the better. And that Sabretooth prefers cats to dogs.
Gambit shifts and slides carefully downwards, swinging around his binoculars. There. Thats Sabretooths room in the hotel. He spots the man draw the curtains closed, but they still glow with light. He slips over to the hotel and perches right outside of Sabertooth’s window.
The light is out now. Gambit curls close to the glass peaking through a crack in the curtains. Sabretooth is already asleep. Gambit debates entering the room and decides against it.
However, he finds himself lingering, loneliness eased somehow by this proximity. Sure he pulled people in with his empathic powers and could feel them so so close. But they are strangers, even as their emotions rest under his skin. Gambit sighs and tilts his head backwards and stares up at the sky. The city lights drown out any hope of seeing the stars. He misses going out into the swamp with his brother and just looking up at the endless skies.
Gambit shakes off the thoughts.
He's just tired…
Gambit startles awake at the sound of a scream. His brain is immediately alert and focusing on where he is. He….
He had fallen asleep outside of Sabertooths hotel room window. He takes a breath. Then there is a howl of pain. Gambit s head swivels and notes that the sounds are coming from Sabretooth, who is tossing and turning.
Remy gently lays his hand on the window and finds himself reaching out with his empathic powers. He wants …
He hates to see people in pain. It is something he struggles with.
He reaches out and feels a wave of fear and anxiety. From a nightmare? Feels likely. Remy flexes his fingers and breathes, gentle sending out waves of calm and reassurance. It's not any harder than his gentle influence over people in clubs. His emotions swirl about the panic and fear, pressing and smoothing down the sharp jagged edges. The sound of anxious howls and fitful growling slowly dies away, replaced by deep breathing.
Gambit pulls back and hums.
Maybe he should mess with the hunter a bit before leaving the city.
He slips down the building, grinning impishly to himself as his legs carry him away quick.

Sabretooth wakes up with a large stretch and a purr. That had been one of the best sleeps that he has had in a while. He cracks his back and then his nose twitches. Gambit had been here. A while ago. Sabretooth sniffs deeper trying to figure out what the kid had done. Came in and exited through the window. And …
There is a pie sitting on the dinky table. It smells like cherry and it smells fresh and it doesn't smell like poison.
Sabretooth settles to look at it and spots a note.
He lifts it and finds that it holds Gambits unique scent of fireworks, powdered sugar, and spice. Careful writing loops across the paper.
‘Nightmares suck. Hope this helps monsieur.
-Gambit’
Sabretooth slowly picks up the pie, sniffing it carefully and then carefully cuts out a slice to eat. He chews and closes his eyes a little. What a strange strange cub.
He…
He finds himself touched despite the oddness. Not many people bothered fighting out what he liked. Fewer still bothered getting him that item.
He is not going to tell Sinister about this. This is a private little moment.
He licks his fingers and grabs another piece, purring contently. He would still be hunting the kid. But…
He's definitely going to be more invested in what happens to Gambit after the chase is over than he was for any other mutant he brought in.
