Romy Discord FanFic Rec List

In honor of Rogue/Gambit Week, some of the writers from the Romy Discord wanted to share some fics that we’ve written. 

With so much Romy love to share, we hope y’all find a new favorite or rediscover an old one. 

💚💖 Thanks for reading! 💖💚

Rating: M | Universe: XtAS’97 | Words: 1,521 | Chapters: 1 | Status: Oneshot 

Summary: A battle is as much a dance as anything achieved on a dance floor…and having the proper partner can literally keep you alive… Episode 5 fix-it fic.

Rating: M | Universe: Comics | Words: 32,978 | Chapters: 30 | Status: Complete 

Summary: They never thought this would be possible, but Rogue is uneXpectedly eXpecting. Yet nothing is ever THAT simple in the life of an X-Man. What secret will Gambit discover that complicates their happily-ever-after?

AppleJ says: Hmmmm ... why I wrote that fic in particular: First, because I wanted to make the fan theory that the twins (Maxime & Manon) were Romy kiddos real. Second, because I KNOW it will be a cold day in hell before Marvel ever gives Romy kids in the main 616 (like maybe long after I'm dead & they're out of storylines & they've already split/reunited them 5 times over?), so it seemed like fertile ground (pun intended). And third, because they say to write what you know & I wanted a pregnancy/birth story that reflected the reality that it isn't all sunshine & rainbows & certainty for many of us & that's okay too.

Rating: E | Universe: Comics | Words: 138,942 | Chapters: 11 | Status: WIP 

Summary: Rogue is working hard to get her powers under control while she and Gambit have decided to take their relationship to the next level, in hopes of having something normal very soon. 

Rating: T | Universe: Movies | Words: 45,064 | Chapters: 12 | Status: Complete 

Summary: What if X2 had ended differently? What if the X-Men hadn’t gotten to Professor Xavier in time and all the humans had died? Takes place 5 years after this alternate ending (exception of the prologue). 

Chelle says: After much indecision, I decided on The Legacy of Dark Cerebro. The opening scene had a special place in my heart, and New Sun vs Phoenix was on my fanfic bucket list for a long time. 🙂Also, this story seems a bit more “new reader” friendly than some of my other favourites, haha.

Rating: T | Universe: Comics | Words: 47,518 | Chapters: 13 | Status: Complete

Summary: There’s an old adage that goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. As a thief, Remy LeBeau know full well that oftentimes the greatest risks come with the greatest rewards. When he starts to fall for the enigmatic Rogue, Remy must decide if the risks are worth the possible reward. 

Rose says: This was one of the first Romy fics I’ve written. It was a real entry into Romy fandom for me. Everyone was so welcoming and kind in the comments. And during the process of writing this, it helped me come to a better understand of Gambit, Rogue, and their relationship. 💜

Rating: G | Universe: Comics | Words: 14,182 | Chapters: 6 | Status: WIP

Summary: Planning a heist is not easy, especially when you need special skills to pull it off. The luck of being an X-Men is that the skills are within reach, maybe not people willing to commit a heist.

Rating: M | Universe: Comics | Words: 10,179 | Chapters: 4 | Status: Complete

Summary: Four vignettes from four different time periods over the course of Rogue and Gambit’s relationship. 

Lovethelebeax says: Heehee I've only written like four things so this will be easier for me than most 😅 it's this one, my first in 20 years

Rating: M | Universe: X-Men |Words: 58,659 | Chapters: 13 | Status: Complete

Summary: Remy LeBeau is the creative lead at a waning fashion house in 1910 New York. Over the street is his employer’s rival, where a pretty and talented seamstress happens to work. Romance ensues, of course - in-between a friendly rivalry, that is. 

Ludi says: It was a tough call on which fic to choose, but I settled on this one because the last fic I write is always the one I'm most proud of, and this is the last one I completed! Last summer @narwhallove challenged me to write a Romy fic that played on my love of both them and of historical fashion. She threw some ideas at me, and I wrote nearly an entire chapter. Then, X-Men '97 starts, and I read back on what I wrote in July '23, and suddenly the rest of the story unfolds before me. I had a blast writing it! And I hope you have fun reading it too 😉

Rating: T | Universe: Comics | Words: 8,998 | Chapters: 1 | Status: Oneshot 

Summary: After a battle with the time-traveling mutant-hunter known as Ahab, Rogue is sent into the future. To get back, she must rely on old friends and put a stop to Ahab’s plans. 

Rating: T | Universe: Comics | Words: 1,619 | Chapters: 1 | Status: Oneshot 

Summary: Romy catches Remy playing with toy action figures of the X-Men. Shenanigans. Set in the 616 verse, but some fun meta-y references to XM97.

Life continues to hand me a ridiculous series of circumstances that make writing difficult, but thanks to @roguegambitweek I actually managed a little! 7 little Rogue/Gambit ficlets completed in an hour or less* featuring teenaged alternate meetings, roof tops, a vengeful mermaid, a shout out to The Queen's Thief series (well, two), and surprisingly unangsty Deathbit. So much love and thanks to them for organising 💕

*Except the two that were a little over because I was getting interrupted every five minutes. Close enough.

For @roguegambitweek Day 8: Free day! (Of course, I had to write about the cats.)

I've had a busy few weeks at work that sucked up all my inspiration and I haven't been able to write anything for Romyweek.

But this morning @iIsa_anartist shared this beauty on Twitter :

And inspired this little story for the last day :

Rogue was tired as if she walked for hours. The hallway was long and dark, endless, and her heels echoed against the floor, click, click, click, step after step, she came to a bright room, too bright that the light hurt.

As her eyes adjusted to the light she spotted Remy dozed on a couch still in his white suit. She was in her red dress but she remembered taking it off because it was dirty or because one of her sleeves had torn. Something like that. Something...

She walked to the couch trying to be quiet, Remy looked so calm. The soft smile on his lips made her think he was dreaming something beautiful . She smiled too and sat down next to him.

"You're back," he murmured, eyes closed, slurring his words still half asleep.

"I'm tired, so tired," she spoke in a soft tone.

Remy sat up and she rested her head on his chest. His heart was pounding.

"Your heart beats for me but I can't feel it."

"Somethin is wrong," she said looking around. There was so much light, she was sure she had changed her clothes.

"Everything is fine, chêre," he replied placing a hand on her back. " You need to rest..."

She closed her eyes, she was really exhausted and his arms were so comfortable. Remy was so warm and his hands were soft.

"I can't touch you."

"This is not real... We can't touch each other," She sobbed, clutching the folds of his jacket."You...you...I held your body...and you..."

She didn't have the courage to say it.

"Shsss," Remy kissed her cheek, pressing her against him. ""It doesn't matter... Rest... You've already fought, you can't do anything..."

"I broke your heart, it was wrong.... And you... you..."

"I died?" A cruel chuckle escaped his lips as he said it.

But he did not let her go, his lips still caressed her cheek and she didn't want to, couldn't move aside from him. His warmth, the tenderness with which he held her. The touch of his skin. Everything was so perfect. Nothing was real.

Tears slid down her cheeks. The pain in her heart wouldn't let her breathe.

"The party is over," he whispered as he pulled away from her.

"No please," She begged, grabbing his face with both hands.

"Goodbye, mon ami," Remy smiled, fading between her fingers.

"Remy!" a cry that made her lungs hurt scaped from her lips.

And she was in her room again, not in Genosha, not in Mexico, in the Mansion in a shattered room.

@roguegambitweek

Can you believe it? It’s the last day of Rogue/Gambit Week 2024. We have been blessed by so many amazing pieces of fanart, fanfics, and fan comics.

This year we have an extra day to share all our Romy goodness. The prompt is free day. This means the theme is up to you. Or, maybe Rogue and Remy can finally have a ‘free day’ and go on a date with being interrupted by the X-Menor Thieves Guild. What do you think?

Thanks to @codealiaswave for the prompt cards and @go-haywire for the amazing banner (and blog) designs. You do a fantastic job.

A non-animated version below the read more cut.

Last day 😭

WHAT A GREAT WEEK ❤️ Thank you for all the amazing fanfics, fanart, and fan comics ❤️
