Insane Musings/X-Men Archive

Insane Musings was an archive run by fan writers Jaelle and Orla from around 1998 to 2006. Notes in italics are by Jaelle and/or Orla.

X-Men

It will come as no surprise to anyone to learn that Orla and I are HUGE Rogue fans. We also both like Magneto/Joseph a lot too, which is why we've written a series of stories about the two of them. Additionally, we've got a couple of filks, an Age of Apocalypse story, a story written in response to the theory that Joseph is young Charles from Age of Apocalypse (EWWW! EW! EW! EW! Sorry, instinctive response) and a few other odds and ends, including my (still unfinished) Short and Somewhat Inaccurate History of the X-Men as done by Generation X. Yes, there's quite a lot here. Hope you enjoy it.

Series

The Rogue and Joseph Series

By Jaelle and Orla. We started with an alternative to the 'Road Trip' storyline prior to Onslaught, and somehow things just... got out of hand.

  • A Match Made? - Our alternative version of Rogue and Joseph's road trip and subsequent meeting with Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch (not to mention most of the other X-types).
  • Don't Feed Her After Midnight - Joseph takes Rogue on a date. Gambit suggests an appropriate restaurant and things go downhill from there.
  • Clothes Maketh the Mutant - Rogue can't stand Joseph's fashion sense (or lack thereof), so she takes him shopping. Every man's nightmare.
  • Ring the Bells and Throw the Rice - Joseph pops the question, mayhem ensues, and we finally learn Rogue's real name.

X-Men Evolution: Opposites Attract

By Jaelle and Orla. A brand new X-Men story, set in the Universe of the cartoon series X-Men Evolution. A mysterious stranger appears at the Xavier Institute, and plunges everyone and everything into chaos - both humourous and deadly serious.

X-Men Evolution: Magnetic Personalities

By Jaelle and Orla. A sequel to Opposites Attract, this continues the storyline, as Erik and Rogue struggle to deal with Sentinels, Wanda, and Apocalypse.

Age of Apocalypse

By Jaelle and Orla. This story deals with Rogue's pregnancy and the birth of little Charles in the Age of Apocalypse.

Generation X Presents: A Short (and somewhat inaccurate) History of the X-Men

By Jaelle and Orla. The Generation X crew put on a play for the assembled X-Teams: their version of the X-Men history.

One-off Stories

  • Anniversary. By Orla. Originally written for a competition, this little story is part of a wider 'What if?' arc featuring Magneto and Rogue that Orla hopes to start writing in full soon... really soon ^^. The basic premise is: What if Rogue had stayed in Genosha when Magneto took over? Anyway, this ficlet is set some time in the future of that universe...
  • Birthday Present. By Orla. Magneto gives Rogue a birthday present.
  • Gambit's Reasons Why Rogue Can't Marry Magneto. By Jaelle and Orla. Pretty obvious, dontcha think?
  • Too Many Alternate Futures. By Orla and Jaelle. A Response to the "Joseph is Young Charles from AoA" theory (Jaelle's immediate response: EW! EW! EW! EWWWWWW!!!), we took the idea pioneered by the Summers family plots ('Why wait for their kids to grow up when you can import them directly from other realities?!') and expanded it to its logical conclusion.
  • Siblings. By Orla. A short X-Men: Evolution moment with Kurt and Rogue.

Miscellaneous Filked Songs

  • The Bucket Song - to the tune of "Hole in the Bucket", by Jaelle and Orla. The scene: Rogue and Magneto/Joseph encounter Onslaught and Joseph recognises the costume. Joseph sings first verse, Rogue second, Joseph third, Rogue fourth, etc...
  • Marvel Paradise - to the tune of "Gangsta's Paradise", by Jaelle.

Crack

Rogue 1/2 - Scent of a Mutant By Jaelle and Orla. This story, while an X-Men fanfic, is set in the Ranma 1/2 Universe, where the characters derived their various transforming "curses" from the Jusenkyou cursed springs training grounds. Fall into a spring, and you will become whatever the spring is named for - Spring of Drowned Panda for example. It's a pity that noone thought to mention this to the X-Men as they fought overhead. It would have saved them a lot of trouble. :-)
