X-Men Rec
I'm always a bit torn about following WIPs; not only because sometimes they never finish, but because it's possible that after 14 or so chapters of excellent characterisation, a new-to-this-story-but-not-to-canon person enters the narrative, and that person is written in a way that does not correspond to your own idea of said person at all. Even if the character is just a minor supporting part in this particular story, it just irks. And thus I don't know whether I can continue to follow the tale in question. Which is a shame, because otherwise I really liked it so far.
Otoh, this morning I got the notification that another WIP I'd been following just got concluded with its final chapter, and I'm happy to report this one stays satisfying throughout. It's a Peter Maximoff centric post Apocalypse tale with great parts for younger and older X-Men, a great fleshing out of Peter's mother and sister, and a believable interweaving of a lot of complicated relationships. I really loved this one, from beginning to end.
