Notes:For one, this fic is an AU of, not a crossover with, X-Men. The actual characters, organizations, ect. from the X-Men franchise probably won’t feature in this fic much, if at all – this fic is only loosely based on the franchise, pretty much only connected by the whole mutant thing, one some generalized plot elements. Otherwise, this fic is still predominantly Merlin-centric.

Also, the “Class” system – you see them with Greek letters in the comics, but numbered 1-5 in the movies, with 1 being the weakest, either a minor power, physical mutation with no power, or a dormant gene, and 5 being the strongest, basically capable of ripping apart a country or even theoretically the planet at will. I use Roman numerals I-V in this fic.

Danger's Passed, For However Long It Lasts

For those of you who saw my post on how I might need to runaway from home.

Um, well, I don't, for now. My father and I had a big fight, and this one was one of the worst, if not the worst we ever had. We've made up since then, but I also know both him and myself and we're probably going to have another fight again before summer time. But I'm happy with the peace we've managed until then.

Huge, huge, HUGE thank you to all of those who supported me and sent good thoughts my way. It really helped to know there were so many out there who cared for me. :D *glomps you all*
