Scott died at Alkali Lake under the Phoenix's kiss... but someone touched by the Phoenix doesn't necessarily stay dead. Logan takes up the gauntlet and both men get a lot more than they bargained for, because some things stay the same, but most everything about life in the mansion has changed. (This fic has adult themes throughout and a couple of adult scenes; proceed accordingly.)

Those fucking humans. You remember. They won. They won everything. They even won you. Won all of you back from your dead-end fucking universe and took you with them into their reality-spraining victory. Cheating nookstains didn’t even fight; they won by ‘shenanigans’, that peculiarly human trick of winning-by-not-playing. And in that inside-out, backwards way of theirs, they never even considered keeping all the spoils for themselves.
