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 profits
from these characters. But this story is copyright to me.
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 other than the fact I'm stuck on the next part of
Skeletons in the
Closet of Memories.
For continuity freaks, this story takes place within my series some time after the 'Visit' trilogy, some time during the 'Mysteries' trilogy (after "What God Has Joined Together" and "Please Come to Boston" and before "Drugs, Spies and Videotape" and "The Simple Joys of Childhood"), 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 Suzie, Lisa, sevenall, Denise and
the Apprentice for their comments and encouragement.
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
