Dawn: Breaking Through
An alternate tale of Tapestry's Dawn Arc
By Kielle



Summary: Despite Excalibur's hospitality, Dawn Embers is miserable -- her best friend is dead, her friends are an ocean away, and she's dying of Legacy. Then a mysterious baby literally drops into her arms out of nowhere...and the Marauders are hot on the trail!

Author's Comments: Dawn is the star of the Dawn Arc. Ember is her alternate self from another dimension, on the run from Sinister and her killer teammates. I casually mentioned the idea of sending Ember's baby Skye cross-dimensionally into safekeeping with the mainstream Dawn, and, well, this happened. Tapestry wouldn't leave me alone! It's not my fault!!! BTW, I'm very proud of Pyro's accent -- I did that from scratch, having spent two years in Australia. Pay attention, Marvel.
