Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men. Section break titles from T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland."
Timeframe: Twenty years before X1.
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Logan, Xavier, Erik
Summary: Before the claws came Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters.
Author's Note: This was primarily written in mid-summer 2007 and takes nothing from X-Men Origins: Wolverine into account. I used bits and pieces from the comic book, but I somewhat consider it a personal re-imagining of Logan's and Erik's stories, based upon canon established and hinted upon in X1 and X2. For example, I'm not a fan of the bone claws retcon; as such, when Stryker told Logan that he gave Logan claws, that's what I believe really happened.
I'm not entirely happy with this story; in fact, I'm more happy with the story I wrote after it, and much of the goodwill I feel toward this story comes from the sequel. There is at least one big, gaping plothole that will forever keep this story marked as "incomplete" for me - but I won't elaborate. :)
