Alara's Mystique Page was created some time in 1998[1] as a site devoted to Alara's second-favourite Marvel Comics villain, Mystique. From her introduction:

Mystique would be my second favorite Marvel villain (Magneto being first.) And, like Magneto, Mystique has never been only a villain. Back in the days when I started collecting X-Men, she was the ultimate villain to me (since Magneto was an X-Man at the time)-- devious, intelligent, a woman who didn't dress like something out of a Frederick's of Hollywood catalog, a ruthless villainness, a loving mother, a loyal friend. And a shapechanger. I was really into shapechangers in those days. In some ways I prefer Mystique's model of dealing with life to Magneto's-- if I were to become a supervillain, I think I'd like to sneak around behind the scenes, assassinating people and terrorizing them by taking their shapes and stealing super-duper technology, then coming home to my best friend and my daughter and having a normal life, rather than building secret bases, living there in seclusion, and blowing things up every time I get ticked off.

Like her Magneto page, Alara's Mystique page housed not only fanfic, but an FAQ and meta essays about the character. The last update was in October 27, 2001[3].

  • Rogue 1/2: The Scent of a Mutant: (Wayback Nov 30/18) Archived by Jaelle and Orla at Insane Musings. In battle with Magneto and his Acolytes, Rogue accidentally falls into a pool at Jusenkyo. Sort of a Ranma 1/2 crossover. Humor. Mystique's role in it isn't large, but I'm kinda desperate here. Besides, this is a really funny story.
  • Ring the Bells And Throw the Rice: (Wayback Nov 30/18) Archived by Jaelle and Orla at Insane Musings. Joseph and Rogue get married! Humor. Part of the "Joseph and Rogue" arc, mostly not listed here because mostly Mystique is not in it, or not in it enough.

Stories by Laersyn:

  • Devil's Due: Archived by Kielle at Blood in the Gutter. Adult. The Marauders return for a rematch. Warning: EXTREME violence. This is a very disturbing story-- shocked me, and I'm notoriously difficult to shock. Follow links through Adult page. Mystique appears as a villain.
