Fandom: X-MEN MOVIEVERSE
Pairing: None; but the story has adult sexual themes and both het and slash situations
Author on LJ: minisinoo
Author Website: The Medicine Wheel

Why this must be read:
A novel-length work on the origins of Cyclops in which Minisinoo takes us from Scott Summers' days on the streets just before his arrival in Westchester up to the Senate Hearings at the start of the X-Men film. This is a prequel/background story to Minisinoo's current WIP, Grail (well worth reading--I'd rec it if it were completed). On the issue of pairings in this series: I thought about it, but my judgment is this is adult gen with m/m and m/f moments and UST (Scott/Jean, Scott/Warren, Xavier/Erik).
It's not "shippy" enough to be anything other than gen, and rather dark gen at that.

I'm not a huge Cyclops fan (despite how pretty he is), but this novel enticed me into reading other long stories by the author.
