moloch

in chronological order
character index

coincidences
An ideal is easy to cling to when nothing challenges it. But when a young boy seeks refuge at the X-Mansion, his deadly heritage will force them all to re-examine the status quo...

education
Frightened of what seems to be his fate, one young mutant is compelled to either live out the life of his father, or learn to exist as a part of society. But what happens when that society, including the X-Men, are similarly apprehensive of his nature?

echoes
Growing up is never easy. And to put away the shadows on his soul, fifteen-year-old Toby must accept his own heritage and identity. And who better to teach him than the mistress of the lost identity herself, Mystique...

monsters
Harmless hallowe'en fun becomes something more when a monster of a different calibre haunts the festivities, raising questions better left unanswered. Toby must examine his motives concerning his father - a monster he may be, but is he to blame for all the evils in Toby's life?

release
Toby is thrust into an unwanted position of responsibility - for the team, for his life, for his father, and for the innocents caught up in the madness. Will he bend or break?

untouchable
Toby's lifeline to sanity is gone, and with her goes Toby's will to keep going. He relocates to the Massachusetts Academy to piece his life back together - and ends up unmasking a treasure that has been silent too long.

resolution
In order to discover who she was, and who she can become, Penance travels to Serbia, with Sabretooth, Gambit, Iceman and a worried Toby in tow. He knows that self-discovery can be a bitch. Is Penance ready? Can Rogue cope with her rejection? Will Hank ever become an 'Agony Ape'?

genesis Thanks to the ubiquitous Unanon!
If you're under 18, don't bother. NC-17.
Toby's heritage is coming back to haunt him... but with a very, very peculiar twist. Can he live with a telepath in his head? Will Cable ever get a cup of coffee? Will Penance ever get some good nookie?

reactions
A detailed look at a turning point in Toby's past, this illuminates much of what lies ahead, and explains Toby's growth from reticience to arrogance. What happens when a Creedloses control? At a school, no less? What harm can occur from the best intentions, and what happens when you hold back too long? Features the inestimable Wallace!

reunion
Two years after 'Genesis,' it's Toby's five year high school reunion - and he's brought the olds. Blood flies, mayhem ensues, and schnapps is consumed with wild abandon. And somewhere, he comes to a reconciliation with what was one helluva adolescence.

machinations
Three months after 'Reunion', and one of the X-Men's greatest enemies has violated Toby's very family, and thus his sanity. The team is hurtled down a chasm of shifting identities and uncertainties where all truths are exposed. Rated M for nastiness, as per usual.

memento
Toby's childhood, in a series of hideously graphic scenarios. How does the boy relate to the man and how did the boy become the man? What was the misery which shaped him and lent him strength in the fight to come? Rated NC-17. Told you it was graphic.
