ROMY: Rogue/Remy (Rogue/Gambit) Master Reclist

X-Men Evolution, Comics, TAS and Movieverse
Masterlist of Rogue/Remy - Rogue/Gambit - ROMY
Fanfiction Recommendations
---
The following is a compiled reclist of the very best Rogue/Remy fanfiction that I've come across in my travels (which is to say, "the best in my humble opinion, that appealed to me first and foremost as a reader, and that I think others may enjoy as well, but should not be assumed to be definitive in any way.") Novella and novel-length fanfiction worth mentioning has been sorted by In Progress or Complete Status. One-Shots, drabbles and anything in between have been sorted by genre. Ratings and universes have been included in the notes.
This listing will be appended as necessary. This is something I didn't do when I first started reading in HP, I figure it's a pretty good way to keep up with whatever comes my way.
However, please bear in mind that when the school term hits, I stop reading. I, like everyone else, need to be fed. Accordingly, I have to rely on my own search methods to dredge up these recommendations, and accordingly, that makes me fallible. I miss things. A lot of very good things. Thus, I ask others to feed me with links, so I can, in turn, feed you with links.
Updates to the List: November 25, 2007 - Authors with known livejournal accounts have had their listings appended. - N.B.: If you are already listed with your ffnet account, and would like to be linked from your livejournal as well, please leave a comment so I can make the necessary changes. - NEW ADDITIONS: Written something new that isn't here? The best way to let me know about it is to leave a comment. Don't be shy, this list gets more hits than my actual LJ. Trust me when I say people are reading. (Thank you, everyone who's been reading!) - Additionally, if you've got a Pit of Voles account, you can keep up with current recs at House of Cards. Just subscribe to the community. |
| Lucia's Stuff: My writing, as per usual, can be found in several locations. If you're looking for "The Ante" or Anteverse-related writings, try my account at the Pit or Marvelfanfiction. If you're looking for access to "Bats in the Belfry" before it gets released under the penname Carmine LaCroix, you can request access here. If you want to browse the whole body of my work, you can go through my Livejournal Memories or browse my tags. |
