Rating: Adult/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.
Updates: Every two weeks on Sunday.
Highlight: For additional warnings. Click the link only for spoilers! There will be character deaths (multiple, in both flashbacks and as the story progresses).

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:
He touched her face again, gentle as a butterfly on a flower, and whispered, “I like to have my cake and eat it too, Rogue. Or I would if I still ate, anyway.”
She raised her hand, cupping his fingers to her face, and tilted her head into that touch, savoring it even though she all too well the sort of creature who was touching her… and the kind of creature she was, too. Just like him. Wanting it all, but where Angelus wasn’t held back by raggedly torn remnants of ethics, Rogue still had a conscience. A guilty one. But she couldn’t resist that touch.
He kissed her, gently and thoroughly, letting her sweet and delicate flavors mingle with the memory of the Slayer’s blood on his tongue, and Rogue leaned into the kiss, a hungry, eager participant in her own seduction of the soul –so much more difficult and rewarding than a seduction of the body. “Let me feed from you… and I won’t eat humans.” He smiled wickedly down at her. “Well, unless they’ve done something… really bad.”
