Love Stories

These stories revolve around a love theme, and are all wonderful...

Phoenix Stories

These stories are mainly about the Phoenix force... in some stories the Phoenix force returns to Jean, and in others Jean becomes the Phoenix all by herself...

  • The Fire Bird Returns, by Danny. When Apocalypse and Mr Sinister are working together Jean must once again become the Phoenix.
  • The Phoenix Returns (Part 1: The Gathering), by Benjamin A. Snow. Madelyne Pryor becomes the Goblin Queen again, and Jean must become the Phoenix in order to stop her.
  • The Phoenix Returns (Part 2: Inferno), by Benjamin A. Snow.
  • Purified by Fire, by Dorell Garcia. A story in which Jean died on the moon. She was never in a cocoon at the bottom of the sea. She has now come back to life, and tells Scott what she has gone through...
  • Regrets, by Maria Cline. Jean is possessed by the Phoenix entity and only the one who loves her can help her...
  • Risen, by Sequoia S. This epic series started out by asking the questions; "What if the Jean who died on the moon was the one and only Jean? What if she then returned -- as the Phoenix?" Since the first part was posted on the Internet a few years ago, it's been a huge success, and has gained more and more fans with each chapter Sequoia adds. A must read.
  • Stations of the Phoenix (part 1), by Indigo A "What if...?"-story where the bomb Bastion placed in Cyclops' chest had more devastating effects -- and how Jean seemingly becomes the Phoenix in order to prevent disaster...

  • After Midnight, by Diamonde. Jean mourns her husband. In private. So what is Gambit doing there? Hmmm.

  • Bloom, by RogueStar. Jean has always seemed content with her life as an X-Man, and she is content...isn't she?
  • Copper Coins, by K-Nice. Jean's thoughts after Scott's death -- this will bring tears to your eyes, people!
