Why this must be read: Oh. My. God. I just read this last night, and I cried.
This is so wonderfully written that I can't imagine this *isn't* what happened immediately after the movie ended. The voices are perfect, and the characters interact completely and totally in character as they deal with the aftermath of Jean's death in X2. Her Scott is wonderful, but more importantly, she brings a voice to Storm, arguably a character very lacking in movieverse. Everything is very *real* in this fic, from the little moments of humor to the sadness, the touches of realism at the funeral, all of it. I think this is probably one of the best fics I've read, and certainly one of the best ensemble fics. There are no X3 spoilers in the fic, and it works perfectly in canon.
"I've got it," Storm says softly, putting a hand on Xavier's shoulder. "You go see about him." She doesn’t have to say who she means, and it isn't because the Professor can read her mind. Most of the kids are bawling by now; Artie started it, when he understood, and the sound has rippled through them like a shockwave. The different pitches and frequencies of their cries mingle like birdsong or the tuning of a symphony. But the first note still sounds loudest, the shuddering animal sob that hurts because of the raw undisguised pain, and hurts again – hurts more – because it is Scott.

Fabulous recommendation, though. I read this fic a while back and love it.
