Do... Do I write something (small as it might be) for rogue/Gambit week? Would be lying if I said I hadn't truly thought about it...
Rogue/Gambit Week Snippet (Alt Prompt - Hair)
Remy smiled softly as he spotted Rogue, holding their little boy protectively. She was curled up in the recliner in the living room, with quiet music playing on the radio as she hummed along to it. He’d just finished cleaning up from dinner, and was treated to such a beautiful sight. Her hair was pulled back, though Remy could see she probably hadn’t brushed it this morning. She also looked a little tired, and he could see the tell tale signs of her shoulders and back hurting too.
“You just going to stare, swamp rat, or are you going to join us?” Remy blinked and found Rogue smiling at him with a raised eyebrow. He only smiled as their little boy made a noise, having spotted his father and wanted Remy to hold him.
“Just enjoying the view, chère.” Remy told her, pushing off the door frame and walking towards the two. Rogue rolled her eyes, though handed Gabriel over to Remy, who kissed her forehead and sat on the loveseat next to the recliner. Rogue sometimes didn’t trust her control, and Remy had no problem just sitting nearby.
Gabriel settled down, a noise of contentment escaping him as his eyes started to flutter close.
“I don’t know why he likes to sleep on me…” Remy smiled, brushing back the tufts of hair back before looking for the remote to pass towards Rogue so she could put on something to watch.
“It’s because you run warmer than anyone else, suga’.” Rogue yawned, “I don’t blame him. You are very comfortable to sleep next too. Clothed or not.” She winked at him, and Remy flushed lightly, readjusting his hold on Gabriel who was apparently already asleep. Fell asleep so quickly, just like his father.
“I’m going to go lay him down, anything you want to watch chère?” Remy asked. Rogue hummed, shaking her head as she moved to stretch.
“Would love a massage, if you are up for it.”
“Of course, can Remy do your hair too?” Remy asked, and Rogue looked like she wanted nothing else.
“Yes please.”
A Braid of Peace, a Massage of Relief
Title: A Braid of Peace, a Massage of Relief
Summary:
“Gabriel wake up?” Remy hummed lightly as he entered their room. Rogue was laying on their bed, spread out on her back with a book in her hands.
“Non, non, Remy forgot to turn on the baby monitor.” Remy shrugged as he moved to grab her brush, and Rogue snorted. He turned and found her moving to sit up again, stretching as she did so. “Hair and then massage?” He asked to double check with her.
“Yes please,” She nodded, and Remy winked.
“You got it, chère.” Remy climbed onto the bed behind her. Her hair was still pulled back into a ponytail still, so Remy was careful when pulling out the hair tie. He took the brush and ran it gently under the bush of hair that Rogue took amazing care of.

“Would love a massage, if you are up for it.”
“Of course, can Remy do your hair too?” Remy asked, and Rogue looked like she wanted nothing else.
“Yes please.”
Remy smiled, getting up and walking through the house. The nursery was near the back of the house, with a skylight for Gabriel to see the stars for when he was older, and pale walls with the crib in one of the corners of the room, though not touching the walls. That was because they’d gotten glow in the dark stars and had placed them all over the wall, including the lower parts of the wall.
At night, Remy could sometimes hear Gabriel wake up and giggle. He’d go to check on their son and find him reaching for the glowing stars with eyes filled with joy or fascination.
He walked across the room and gently lowered Gabriel into the crib. He jumped slightly when one of the cats squeezed through the bars of the crib and curled up at the foot of the crib, purring as Remy gently pulled Gabriel’s blanket over top of him, his stuffed bear being placed just beside him.
“Goodnight, petite étoile,” Remy whispered, brushing his fingers through the tufts of red and white hair. “You watch him, Oliver, you hear Remy?” Remy joked, petting the cat for a moment before turning to leave the room. He paused long enough to turn a nightlight on and turned the big light off. He did have to double back to turn the baby monitor on, and had to remember to leave the door ajar.
“Gabriel wake up?” Remy hummed lightly as he entered their room. Rogue was laying on their bed, spread out on her back with a book in her hands.
“Non, non, Remy forgot to turn on the baby monitor.” Remy shrugged as he moved to grab her brush, and Rogue snorted. He turned and found her moving to sit up again, stretching as she did so. “Hair and then massage?” He asked to double check with her.
“Yes please,” She nodded, and Remy winked.
“You got it, chère.” Remy climbed onto the bed behind her. Her hair was still pulled back into a ponytail still, so Remy was careful when pulling out the hair tie. He took the brush and ran it gently under the bush of hair that Rogue took amazing care of.
They sat in near silence as Rogue slowly started melting back against Remy while he started sectioning her hair. Braiding it usually helped for less of a mess in the morning.
“How was the team today?” Remy asked quietly, brushing out one section to make sure that there weren’t any knots or snarls that had managed to hide away. It took Rogue a few moments to answer, and Remy apologized softly whenever he got caught in a knot of hair.
“Logan and Morph are taking two weeks off coming up, and Jean is pregnant.” Rogue hummed, forcing her eyes open. She most definitely would not be awake by the time he started on her massage. She was exhausted, and it was showing. “Jubilee wanted me to tell you to bring Gabriel to the mansion and stay a few days.” There was a teasing glint to her eyes, “She misses her big brother.”
“Remy will think about it… after you take the next week off.” There was a groan from Rogue, though she was smiling. He finished brushing the second section and moved to the third, humming as Rogue sighed quietly. “Almost done with your hair, chère.” He assured her.
He moved to actually braiding her hair, taking a moment to rub at her scalp. There was a shudder that ran through her, and a sound of relief escaping her. He leaned forward and kissed her hair.
He moved quickly and soon enough there was a braid containing all of Rogue’s hair. He wrapped his arms around her, and gently rocked them as he kissed her temple.
“You want that massage?” He asked her, voice much lower than it was normally. Rogue hummed, turning her head and nodded.
“Won’t be awake much longer, suga’.” Rogue told him, and Remy had sort of figured that.
“Just means that I’ll have to take care of you tomorrow; long special bath, fix all your favorite foods, another massage, day in the sun.” He smiled as Rogue groaned lightly, turning in his arms and hugging him. “A night to really relax you,” He suggested, and Rogue pouted as she looked up at him.
“I’m too tired to listen to you planning to spoil me. And if I get pregnant again, Scott’s gonna pull you back on the team.” Rogue told him. Remy tilted his head.
“Worth it.” Rogue snorted, letting Remy move her so that she was laying on her stomach. “Now, let Remy take away all your aches, oui?” Rogue sighed in relief as Remy’s hands rubbed at her shoulders first. He’d be working for an hour, but Rogue was asleep very soon after he started.

(I'm not sure if I've done this right)
When he woke up, he knew immediately what was going on. His gut was clenching and there was a pain that he hadn’t felt in almost several years. There was a shudder that ran through him as he pushed the blanket off of him and found that… yep. He’d gotten his period, and suddenly he was fighting back tears.
He swallowed back his tears, pushing himself up and making his way towards his dresser. New boxers, a pair of sweatpants, and a sweatshirt. He needed a shower and then he needed to fix the sheets. He set his change of clothes in the attached bathroom before turning and moving to tear the sheets off of the bed, with relief flooding him when he pulled the protector off the bed and found that it hadn’t leaked through the protector. Much easier mess to clean up than the last time.
“Don’t cry, don’t you dare cry.” Remy muttered towards himself as he dumped the mess of blankets and sheets near the door. He needed a shower and then he could start on laundry. The things he’d go through so that they could start a family. He sighed as he got back to the bathroom, turning the shower on and cracking his neck as the last dreads of sleep fell from him. He moved to undress, dropping his clothes to the floor by the door. He slipped past the shower curtain and relaxed under the stream of water.
“Mon dieu,” Remy hummed, letting his eyes close for a few moments. How long had it been since he just let water work its magic and just relaxed in the shower? Well, better late than never, he supposed.
He hated tampons and pads with a passion, Remy decided as he walked out of the bathroom. He was dressed in fresh clothes, a tampon in with a pad as well to catch if he missed when he needed to change his tampon. He dumped his clothes on top of the pile of blankets and sheets, turning and moving to find his brush. He needed to braid his hair and then he could start laundry.
He glanced out the window and realized after a moment that… It was nearly three in the morning. He was in the shower for probably an hour… He sighed, as he grabbed his brush and began working on his hair. Of course, he had bangs that fell in front of his eyes, fine by him of course, but his hair was poking him in the eye. He used his fingers and brushed it off to the side, finding a hair tie and beginning the braid to fall over his shoulder.
“Laundry and then Remy can put new sheets on and go back to sleep.” Remy muttered to himself, turning and grimacing at the pile. “Just get two more things done, then back to sleep.” He told himself, sighing and setting the brush down. Two things to do, and then back to sleep. He forced himself to walk over to the pile and picked it up, making a face and making sure that none of the blood was touching him, or exposed to the air.
He walked through the house, trying his best to ignore the pain in his gut as he walked down into the basement, sighing in relief as he felt the cooler air hit his face. He loved wearing hoodies, but he did overheat from his own body heat sometimes. It was a curse as much as it was a blessing.
“Wonder if Rogue replaced the pain meds down here or if Remy will have to go to the medicine cabinet upstairs…” Remu mused to himself, opening the washer and dropping the sheet and protector sheet into the washer, and his dirty clothes in the hamper beside it. Soap was added and then he set the washer to start. He shut the washer with a satisfied hum, listening to the filling water for a moment.
He pushed himself off the washer when he realized that he was beginning to fall asleep. He moved towards the bathroom, and cheered quietly to himself when he found the pain meds in the basement bathroom, humming happily as he grabbed two tylenol and two ibuprofen. He’d grab some water when he made his way back to bed so that he could actually take them.
He hummed to himself, moving back up and through the house, wondering if he should text Rogue and tell her that he was on his period, or if he should wait for a couple days, let Rogue finish up her latest mission with the X-Men. Maybe he should wait til it was daylight out before making a decision, he mused.
He detoured to the kitchen, humming as he grabbed a water bottle that he’d put together the night before. He’d have to put another one together tomorrow, a day he decided he wouldn’t work out.
Pain meds taken, he hummed as he made his way back upstairs, stopping only once to find a set of spare sheets and then back to his room. Make the bed, and then he could crash on it. His body temperature would keep him warm enough to get through the night in just his sweatpants and hoodie.
He sighed as he saw the bed, rubbing his eyes as he felt himself starting to crash. Panic was out of his system, the shower had done wonders in relaxing him, and the pain meds would take a few minutes to kick in, but once they had, he’d be crashing and just going to sleep.
He started to hum, keeping himself awake as he pulled the pillows, and the few throw blankets that were wrapped up around the blankets that had gotten spared. He opened the spare sheets, bobbing his head lightly as he started to put the sheets on the bed, though he had to go and find a spare protector sheet to go on first.
Sheets on, and the pillows back in place, he grabbed the throw blankets and threw them over top of the pillows, making them a little more comfortable for him to curl up against them. And perfect timing, the pain meds had taken effect, and now he could curl up comfortably in bed.
He sighed in relief as he curled up in bed, quite literally, he was half curled up in a ball, with a bit of his face nuzzled against the blankets.
Lots of good content here! Enjoy!

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! 💖💚
Takes Two To Tango (or take down a Wild Sentinel) @aldreantreuperi by AldreanTreuPeri [ao3]
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.
But Here We Are by AppleJ @applejacks1552 [ao3]
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.
Mighty Thin Ice by Cajun_Hawk @cajunhawk [ao3] [ff.net]
Rating: E | Universe: Comics | Words: 138,942 | Chapters: 11 | Status: WIP

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.
Risk and Reward by DayenuRose @dayenurose [ao3] [ff.net]
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. 💜
LeBeau’s Eleven by Ilargikat @ilargikat [ao3]
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.

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 😉
