DISCLAIMER:
Pryde and Wisdom and Excalibur are trademarks of
Marvel Comics. This story is an unauthorized work done purely for my personal
enjoyment, and is not intended to infringe on any of their rights in or their

WARNING:
THERE IS EXPLICIT SEX AND BONDAGE GAMES IN THIS STORY. I
marked this clearly in the header. The sex is graphic, but all loving and
consensual (and not that much worse than a typical romance novel). If reading
sex scenes like that would offend you, please don't read this.
NOTES:
This story is a romantic/erotic interlude that has no
justification for existence except that I read a scene Denise Keppel had written
in "All My Mutants" where Sam and Rahne are making a strawberry shortcake for
dessert, and I suddenly had this vision of Pete's version of making a strawberry
shortcake.
For continuity freaks, this story takes place within my series some time after the 'Visit' to the X-men trilogy, some time during the 'Mysteries' trilogy (of which the Pryde&Wisdom/X-Files story is the first), and before any of the 'Rites and Wrongs' trilogy.
BACKGROUND EXPLANATION:
I started this series soon after Excalibur
#92 (Pete vs Pete), and have made no effort to keep this within more recent
Marvel continuity. In particular, I am ignoring the whole Onslaught/Dark Xavier
mess, and Dark Beast, also. Xavier in this story may be dark, but it's his own
fault; I don't accept Onslaught as an excuse for Xavier to act like a jerk. I'm
treating Logan as basically normal, I just don't feel up to writing feral
Wolverine. I'm also ignoring Betsy and the Crimson Whatever. And I've also
ignored a lot of little things Ellis has done with Pryde and Wisdom since then,
not because I don't accept them (I revere Ellis as gospel), but because it would
involve too much minor revision.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
I'd like to thank Denise for inspiring this, and
Suzie, sevenall, Carolyn, DuAnn and Linda for all their comments and suggestions.
MISCELLANEOUS:
This is one story in a series of loosely-plotted
stories entitled "Idylls of the Cat" that are mostly Pryde and Wisdom, and the
others' reaction to Kitty's new relationship. Most of the stories in the series
are not action or adventure, they're mainly sex and/or conversations, like this
one. Other stories in the series so far include
