Feral Saga A Foreward and Caution
by Nyssa

A Marvel X-Men Fanfiction starring Wolverine and Jean Grey

Wolverine is a mystery, even to himself. But he is also a survivor. His incredible healing ability has brought him through crisis after crisis.  A loner, he is learning to be a part of a team - the Uncanny X-Men. With the help of Professor X and Jean Grey he is learning to trust and, in the case of Jean Grey, to love (even if it isn’t returned the way he would hope). But what if everything that has helped him survive, or is now helping him cope is turned against him? If his fragile hold on his very identity is shaken beyond anything he could ever imagine? How will the Wolverine survive when he can’t claw his way out or heal himself? Will rage devour him and lead him into the unending madness of a mindless, desperate wild creature, or is there another way - a way he could never have anticipated? Can he find his way before the X-Men are ripped apart?

Obviously, I do not own any of these characters and have not sought permission to use them. This is simply a fanfiction and should not be considered an official Marvel publication. However, I do retain all rights to my content and do not give permission for this story to be published elsewhere without my express consent.

Author Note
So this is a non-canon X-Men story, focused on Wolverine, with a lot of Jean Grey thrown in. But as something of a nerd, I can’t just leave it at that. I have to talk about “where” this particular X-Men universe exists. And, I’m afraid, it isn't a simple answer. It is instead, a jumble of the comics, the old cartoon, and the original set of movies with a definite preference for the comics. As an example of the random nature of my X-Men Universe, Jean Grey is a doctor here, as she is only in the original movies (I just found it a fun detail), but Wolverine is definitely more like in the comics and cartoons, not Hugh Jackman. He is, instead, the shorter, stocky, gruff berserker in yellow and brown (blue and yellow came later) that first caught my imagination in a Spiderman / Hulk special edition comic. Also, Jean has the deep red hair of the comic and not the nearly strawberry blond of Sophie Turner nor the bizarre red that Famke Janssen had. And we’re going to pretend that Anna Paquin’s version of Rogue doesn’t exist. But I’m not going to refer to any specific prior events and I’m not going to try to place it in some particular comic-book arc. Oh, and let’s set the year as the late 1990’s - no social media to speak of and minimal smartphone use. Of course, there’s also people running around with superpowers, so it’s clearly not our corner of the Multiverse, anyway. But I hope you can just get lost in the story and not worry too much about any of that. I could be fooling myself, but I don’t think that much knowledge of the X-Men is required - it’ll be more fun if you do have some idea of who these people are, but it isn’t required. Here’s a wiki you can use if you’re really lost: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men

This is an idea that came to me over a decade ago and finally just wouldn’t go away. Then, when I decided to begin trying to write seriously in my “real life” I knew I needed to practice and this pesky story that I’d been writing in my head seemed like a good way to accomplish that. This is MUCH more explicit than I will be doing elsewhere, but this is as much for my entertainment as yours, so I decided to just let loose. Along with the sexually explicit content, there’s a little questionable consent content as well. Consent in this story is, as a British friend of mine might say, a bit dodgy. Kinda comes with the territory with projective telepaths and explicit sex I think. There is also an event that I consider rape. Some may not think so when they read it, but I want you to know that I do and if this is a trigger for you or you just prefer not to read that kind of stuff, I understand. It’s not going to happen for several chapters and I will give a very explicit warning at the head of that chapter. I feel it makes sense in the context of the story. Sorry if I offend, but you are warned.

    As a side note: I selected the “Sexual Assault” caution, but I actually hate that term. Just because genitalia and secondary sex characteristics are usually involved, doesn’t mean that it is about sex. It is usually assault with an intent to dominate, demean, or debase. Maybe I’ll do a blog entry on that one day.

    I have the story fully mapped out, but not completely written at this time. The brain-to-page transcription process is somewhat inefficient. So I don’t know how many chapters this will be, nor how often I will post. I hope to keep your interest and welcome your feedback.

    UPDATE: I took off the "Female to Male" tag because it's such a small part of this and it's in a dream. I finally decided it was more confusing than helpful.

    You’ll see this at the beginning of every chapter:

    Author Note:
    Please read the Introduction first so that you have a clear idea what you are getting yourself into. This is a very explicit story in my own version of the X-Men universe with lots of graphic sex. There are mutant abilities, body swaps, dreamwalking, projective telepaths, and lots of stuff that could never happen in real life. Please keep that in mind. But still, if you are sensitive to stories with violence, less-than-clear consent or rape, I do want to warn you that this story does, in my opinion, contain all of that. None of it is excused. I will be VERY clear before each chapter what potential trigger it might contain and I have set all the appropriate categories, although not every chapter will contain all of the categories checked. Here’s a wiki you can use if you’re really lost with who is who and powersI’m not going to say which characters are in my story, because spoilers! : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men

    And this at the end of every chapter:

    End Note:
    I really want to know what you think of the story, so please comment. It doesn't have to be positive but if you have a correction, a DM would be more appropriate than a comment, so we don't bore everyone else with trivialities. If you want to discuss your thinking on consent or rape, then I'd suggest your blog would be the place to do that, not here. If you are upset that this story contained violence, graphic sex, non consensual actions, or mind control even after all my warnings and flags then I can't help you. If you want to demonstrate your superior knowledge of all things X-Men, please save it and just make lots of smug faces as you read my egregious errors. I'm here to have some fun and I hope I have provided you with some as well. ‘Nuff said. Until next time - Excelsior!

    If I do my job, this story will thrill you, maybe arouse you a little, make you laugh, shed a tear, horrify you, and maybe even warm your heart. I know, a lot to promise in a first-time story. Obviously, based on this Intro, I’m not gonna promise it won’t be wordy!
