Title: What's in a Name?
Author: scribble_myname
Fandom: X-Men Movieverse
Ratings/Warnings: T
Prompt: We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them. — Abigail Adams (1744-1818), second First Lady of the United States.
Summary: Raven was the one who started calling it "slave name."
Author's Note: Beta'ed by the wonderful Heavenmetal

"You really should choose a new name," Mystique states suddenly into the quiet boredom of the newborn Brotherhood's first week at the safe house Erik had initially chosen.

Story Arc: Humanity
Fandom: Roswell
Story Arc Summary: 100 drabbles of 100 words. What does it take to be human? Prompts from drabbles100.
Disclaimers: Nothing's mine.
Canonical Notes: I'm playing fast and loose here. I once knew the entire storyline up to "Viva Las Vegas" and bits of pieces of everything after that. Now, I've been away from the fandom a while. I don't feel like researching. It's the concepts of the peeling back the characters' skins that has me excited more than anything, and that's the way it oughta be.
Author's Notes: Written out of order. Eventually, I'll number it both ways, chronological in addition to prompt order... I think.
