Title: Hunter/Hunted, Chapter 6: Old Enemies, New Enemies
Authors:vikingprincess and adarkershade_x
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel and X-Men(Comics, main 616 universe)
Main Characters: Angelus, Rogue (het)
Rating: Adult or NC-17 (nudity, language, violence, sexual situations, death)
Spoilers: Through Season 5 of Angel, final episode. None for X-men, though there are Mutant Registration Act and Civil War connections implied, never explicitly stated.
Additional Warnings: NotAHappyFic ™ It's post-Apocalyptic in two senses, and that's never cheerful. There will be character deaths (multiple, in both flashbacks and as the story progresses. IMO, the story’s better if you don’t know ahead of time who has died, or how. If you really want to know so that it doesn’t shock you, you can click for deaths explicitly mentioned in this chapter.
Comments: Yes, please. This is pretty ambitious and we’d love to hear from you, to keep us going!
All chapters can be found here.
Summary:
In a post-NFA world, Angel has lost everything: his Shanshu signed away, his friends dead... and his soul gone, worn to nothing but rags that aren’t enough to stop Angelus from rising to take control. Humans are hard to find, most far too fragile to have survived the Apocalypse. But a new breed of prey has emerged from the ashes... or perhaps they were there all along. Mutants. Angelus discovers that prey that fights back just… tastes better.
Nuclear War becomes the final solution of terrified humans, running scared from Homo Superior. Billions die to slaughter a few thousands... civilization will never rise again. But in the ashes of a terrifying new world, Rogue discovers that mutants aren't all that humans should have been fearing, and that demons think mutants are just a little more fun to hunt. Rogue would much rather be the hunter than the hunted.
Previously:
One hand went to Rogue’s hair, winding gently through the mess of chestnut and silver locks; the other went to her cheek. Cold, calloused fingertips traced over warm, blushing cheeks; she was so full of life.
"Sleep," Angelus urged her, a hand sliding down to rub her back in small, circular motions, "I'm not going to hurt you."
Nearly asleep, exhausted, unguarded and painfully honest, she whispered, "Y' already have."
"Shhhh." He lowered his eyes, watching as the girl slowly fell asleep in his arms, his hand still moving in small circles on her back. Dark eyes flicked to the sky, a wicked smile twisting his features as he stared up at the apocalypse moon…a mocking smirk for the eye of God, in case He was still watching.
