Why this must be read:

Scrubbing the house for Passover has given me a hankering for some good Jewish!fic, and Mara Greengrass delivers. Incorporated into the Passover liturgy is the instruction that every generation must view themselves as captives going out of Egypt, a line that sparks no end of passionate discussion around the table every year. On the eve of the first seder, a distress call from the mutant underground hits close to home for Shadowcat, Sabra, Iceman and the Thing.

"Yeah," Ben said, "I coulda sworn your invitation said 'Passover seder' and not 'fly to Virginia and free mutants from some megalomaniacal corporation.'"

"It's the life of a superhero," Bobby said. "I *knew* I should have gone to Los Angeles with Warren instead. But you lured me with talk of your mother's recipe for brisket, you evil woman."

::blush:: Thank you! I wrote this for the Holiday Ficathon, IIRC. I figured there couldn't be that many Pesach stories out there.

You're right about that! Which is a shame. Everyone gets snarky over Christmas in fic instead of celebrating what's actually meaningful to them. I always like that about your holiday stories.
