Why this must be read:

Blair is having problems waking up in the morning so he buys a new alarm clock.  Little does he realize how this is going to change his life. 

"OK."   I feel stupid, but there's nothing for it but to plow on through. "OK. Right. Well, this morning at five-fourteen, I was still straight."

This obviously isn't what he expected. He tilts his head back to look at me, and the look on his face says, Well, you're nuts, but I don't yet have any evidence that you're dangerous.

"Seriously. I was so straight that I never even thought about being straight, you know? Any more than most people would ask themselves, Hey, do I want my lovers to dress up as circus clowns?"

Nuts, but entertainingly nuts, his face says.

"And then at five-fifteen your stupid clock-light-thing woke me up --"

11:20 pm X-Men – Star Trek Enterprise (PG-13)
Title: Fortunate Voyager by Mara Greengrass
Pairing: X-verse characters Scott, Logan, Kitty, Bobby; the entire cast of Enterprise
(Link Updated) Author on LJ: Mara's Ramblings
(Link Updated) Author Website: Diversions and Digressions
Why this must be read:

Scott manifests a secondary mutation – the ability to move across time and space (just as his comicverse children do). Unfortunately, the brain damage that prevents Scott from controlling his optic blasts also prevents him from controlling this new power. With no warning, he and three other X-Men find themselves aboard the Enterprise and they become embroiled in the crew’s running battle with the Xindi.

The Enterprise crew worries they’ve beamed aboard Khan Noonien Singh’s supermen. As the story unfolds, they overcome their prejudices and even mount a rescue for one of the feared mutants. This story reminded me all over again of why I fell in love with Trek.

Toward the end of the story, the Enterprise doctor offers to repair the brain damage that prevents Scott from controlling his optic blasts. But there’s a catch – the surgery may eliminate Scott’s newfound ability to time-travel, leaving him and his companions stranded in this alternate timeline.
