Why this must be read:
For my last Marvel recommendation, I wanted to represent one of my favorite corners of Marvel comics fanfic, the 1602 universe. Many fic writers have followed the example Neil Gaiman's 1602, which recreates the Marvel Universe in the year 1602, and imagined the lives of modern Marvel characters who weren't part of the 1602 comics.
Katia's Journey is an absolutely wonderful story about Katia (aka, Kitty Pryde), a young Jewish girl living in Spain during the inquisition. Her family has a double-problem -- they're not only hiding their Jewish heritage and faith, but their daughter's mutant abilities. I love this story for lots of reasons. (1) It's Kitty -- and SilverApples does a great job of capturing her intelligence and resourcefulness, and (2) it's a story about a damsel-in-distress who saves herself -- again and again. In fact, this story works very well for anyone who loves smart heroines, whether you know Kitty's canon at all. This also features a great use of Enrique (the 1602-verse Magneto).
