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.)

Won all of you back from your dead-end fucking universe and took you with them into their reality-spraining victory.

That--" you point, "--tunnel, just in the wholly unsurprising case you needed that clarified."
