6684 Lemon Gulch
Ship: Logan Howlett x Gabriel Reaper-Argabritt [Exes AU]
Word Count: 1396
Summary: Hot damn another long one fhfhfh (For me, anyway). When the X-Men are faced with a new threat, they will need all the help they can get. Professor X sends Wolverine to track down and try and convince Gabriel Reaper, his ex, to return after disbanding from the team many years ago. Logan is shocked to find his ex has been "domesticated" since the days they used to go steady. CWs for mentions of implied prejudice toward mutants, brief suggestiveness, alcohol consumption, smoking.

Logan heaved a reluctant sigh as he stood on the doorstep of 6684 Lemon Gulch, the last known residence of Gabriel Reaper, his ex, in several senses. He didn’t know if he wanted it to be here or not. The only reason he was tracking it down was on Xavier's command. They needed all the help they could get. The neighbourhood was nice… quaint… something that didn't suit the Gabriel he had left.
What if he didn't recognize it at all? Could things really have changed all that much since Gabriel voluntarily left the X-Men? Birds twittered in the sturdy trees lining the well-paved streets. Everything was so… quiet here. It made his supersonic hearing buzz with understimulation. He raised his hand, waffling between knocking and ringing the doorbell. He chose to knock.
A young man opened the door, his expression both confused and curious as he peered at the stranger on the doorstep. “Can I help you?”
“Does Gabriel Reaper still live here?”
The man braced his palm against the doorway, leaning back into the house. “Mr. Reaper-Argabritt! There's some guy at the door asking for you!”
You've gotta be shittin’ me.
It didn’t take long for a tired-looking Gabriel to appear. “Kev, I really appreciate you, but I just put Shelley down for her nap…” They trailed off, eyes widening as their gaze fell on their old flame, their face paling slightly. “Logan.”
“Ah, geez, I’m sorry. I’ll go make sure I didn’t wake her up.” The young man rushed inside, leaving Gabriel gaping, his breathing shallow.
“Well… I… come in.” He felt light-headed as he let Logan in, closing the door behind him and leading him into his Boho Gothic living room. “Make yourself comfortable, can I get you anything?”
Logan stood awkwardly at the edge of the room, unable to make himself sit as he took everything in, his hands buried in the pockets of his jeans. “I suspect happy-go-lucky back there isn’t your partner, is he?”
“Oh-hah, Kevin? No, he’s just the nanny. He’s been a big help, especially now with Shelley…” Gabriel cleared his throat and floated over to a shelf, off which he picked up a photo of himself and another man, showing it to Logan. “Otis Argabritt. My husband.” It stung both of them to be said aloud.
“Well, at least I can rest easy knowing you’ve always had an eye for the older ones.”
Gabriel put the photo back. He wore a long, grey, loose-fitting button-down dress over a white tank top and black sweatpants, along with a pair of grey, fuzzy slippers. He looked comfortable. A band of white gold glinted on his left ring finger. They then picked up two more photos.
“This is Bram, our little boy, he’ll be four in two months, and Shelley, she’s a year old as of the first.”
“They’re beautiful, Gabriel.”
“Thank you…” They softly smiled and put the photos back. It was a sad expression.
“Does Argabritt know?”
“Please, be more specific, Logan.”
“That you’re a mutant, and that his kids’ll likely be mutants, too.”
“Oh.” Gabriel slowly sat on its couch, clearing its throat. “No. I haven’t.”
“And how long have you two been together?” Logan absently rubbed his stubble, keeping Gabriel just in his peripheral.
“Five years married.” It swallowed. “It won’t matter unless the children start displaying powers, and that’s years in the future…”
“It’s still a possibility.”
“I know. I know.” They sighed and rubbed their eyes, pushing up their glasses in the process. “How did you find me?”
“With a little help…” He inhaled deeply but subtly. It still smelled like it did when they were still together, even under all the smells that weren’t its own. “But that brings me to why I’m even here-”
“Mm, there it is. I knew this wasn’t just an instance of ‘I was in the area and wanted to check in.’” He leaned back, inviting Logan to continue with his body language.
I’d be more than happy to see you if it was on any other terms. “The professor wants you back on the team. We’re facing something we haven’t seen before… we need all the help we can get.” He reached into his jacket and pulled out a thumb drive, handing it to Gabriel. “This contains everything we know so far.”
They frowned as they examined the drive in their palm. When their lip began to tremble, they put it on their coffee table. “I can’t. I’m a father, now… I’m going to guess Xavier knew that already. I didn’t exactly tell him not to keep tabs on me.”
“How did that happen, anyway?”
This surprised Gabriel enough for them to fold their arms as they looked up at Logan. “I had sex with a man who loves me, simple as that.”
“You didn’t want kids when we were together.”
“I was also younger then and preoccupied with being a superhero, Logan. If I remember correctly, neither did you.”
He grunted… it had a point. Still, this is not where Logan saw it ending up after all these years. He stepped closer, looking directly at him for the first time since he came to the front door. All those feelings never went away, no matter what he tried to replace them with. “Besides the interior decorating, this doesn’t really seem like you, angel.”
Gabriel’s breath hitched. “Please, don’t call me that.”
“I’m sorry,” he rumbled immediately. Only Gabriel could get him to apologize so quickly. They crossed their ankles, looking down at their knees. He wished he knew what they were thinking.
“Do you want a beer?”
“Sure.”
They quickly rose from their seat and went into their kitchen, giving Logan more time to absorb what had happened to his ex in his absence. He wanted to know how exactly Otis had turned him into this “housewifey” thing. Though, of course, he didn’t want to immediately assume that Gabriel wasn’t working… but they had certainly been domesticated. He resisted the urge to go snooping, if only because it had returned with two beers and was beckoning him further into the house, leading him to a back porch.
“I know you like to smoke with your beer, so I thought we could sit outside,” it explained, settling into one of the deck chairs. Logan sat in the other.
“I hope that’s not the only impression I made on you, ange- I mean, kid- I mean, Gabriel.” He unsheathed one of his claws and popped the tab on his can, clearing his throat. They blushed as they opened their own.
“Of course not! … I also know you can be very sweet, even when you’ve convinced yourself you’re only capable of being a bitter loner who cares for no one.”
He sipped his beer, placed it in the mesh cup holder, and retrieved a cigarette from his pocket. “Only for you, kid.”
It let the pet name slide and reached over to light the cigarette, a flame sizzling from its fingertip.
“Thanks.”
“Don’t mention it… though, I’d prefer if you didn’t go back inside after this, for the baby’s sake…”
He nodded, then let a small smile tease his features. “Shelley and Bram. That’s clever.”
Gabriel cheesed. “Thank you, I knew someone would appreciate it. I don’t think Otis quite got why I chose those names, but he agreed to them.”
“How’d you two end up together?”
“I did a lot of travelling after I left the X-Men… we met in Arizona, I was photographing the state parks. Funnily enough, he also likes photography… he noticed we were trying to shoot the same thing one day and we got to talking. I guess you could say the rest is history. He bought this house as a proposal gift.”
Logan coughed into his fist. “Must be some big shot, then.”
Gabriel nodded. “CEO of something or other. Such a boring job for an interesting man. He’s into rocks and minerals, and the migrational patterns of herd animals like caribou.”
Logan could care less, but he nodded along as if he were interested. Selfishly, he hoped there was something flawed in this relationship… some chance that he and Gabriel could get back to the good old days. I miss you. I’ve missed you so much. I’m sorry that I pushed you away. If only he could express it clearly.

Iris Starrman, daughter of Bosco Starrman & Logan Howlett
Named after the Goo Goo Dolls song, I don't imagine she inherited Logan's claws but rather his keen senses, along with Bosco's superagility and strength. Unique to her is her ability to teleport, which may've been developed from Bosco's portal creation powers.
She is adventurous and optimistic, but also knows how to hold her own in a fight and is wary about the outside world, especially considering she'll have spent most of her developmental years at Logan's cabin.
She's absolutely got Logan wrapped around her little finger lol

AAAA tell me if you have any ideas about what goes down at your bachelor/...not bachelorette parties 4 u and wade!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!! OKAY!!!
Wade kind of wants to do "everything," y'know? Sky-diving, bar crawl, fuck it even golfing, the whole nine yards. His party includes Cable, Wolverine (kind of shocking he took the invitation but then again he's also dating me teehee), Weasel, Dopinder, and Bob. I will be extremely surprised if nothing goes to chaos between everyone.
As for me, I am looking forward to something more low-stress after planning a wedding with a man that has so much bad luck even a field of four-leaf clovers couldn't save him at this point (sorry baby but it's true); a spa day, maybe some homemade games with small prizes, and a movie marathon! My maidens and non-maidens alike (actually, I don't know any non-maidens personally enough (that I'm not already dating) to invite now that I think about it :0[ ) include you, of course! Domino, Negasonic, Yukio, and Storm.
ty this was fun 2 think about, the actual wedding... maybe next month b4 I leave for ohio >:0]

🍽️ Dr. Hannibal Lecter: HE CAN MAKE ME WORRSEEEEEEE and I wouldn't even fight back. Delicious man, pun completely intended. Been enjoying reading the Hannibal books so I'll probably end up developing a ship with that iteration, too. The only reason I don't ship with the film version of his character is that, at least in Silence of The Lambs, I can only ever see Hannibal with Clarice. Good thing I'm a Clarice kinnie! sghgshhges
❌ Logan Howlett (aka Wolverine): I'll be flat-out honest, I only started shipping with Logan (and specifically Hugh Jackman's Logan) because I thought he was hot. 🙈 Otherwise my X-Men knowledge is actually pretty sparse, though I've been meaning to watch the cartoons.
