X-Men fans have made their own burning hot Dark Phoenix stories
Welcome to Read This Fanfiction, a weekly digest of the hottest and latest fanfics about all your favorite movies, television shows, anime, and more. Whether they're popular, heartbreaking, innovative, or just plain entertaining, here's what you should be reading!
Dark Phoenix seems to have suffered the same fate as the fic surrounding Jean Grey in the X-Men verse… it’s typically about everyone else. Yes, we all love eternal mutant husbands Charles and Erik, but give Jean the spotlight every once in awhile! Hollywood will probably never get the Dark Phoenix story right, but we can at least give you a sampling of some of Jean’s fan-made stories.
Jean finds herself on the land near the Starks', and little Morgan finds her and brings the pretty-eyed lady home so her daddy can help her. And Tony should really stop accidentally adopting people.

“Healthy Fear” by Melethh
The new poster for Wonder Woman’s next outing is vibrant as anything and has us craving this '80s tale more and more. However, we must be patient, and so while we must wait, enjoy this fic about Hippolyta, Diana, and a talk about the importance of fear and bravery.
"Silicon Age" by one_windiga
I really need to stop asking myself “I wonder if there are fics of…” because the answer is always, always yes. SYFY WIRE attended a press conference this week, giving us a better look at what to expect out of Toy Story 4. In this fic, the toys discover the internet… and eBay.

"Not Quite The Devil You Know" by Taranea
I know, I'm cheating. This isn't technically super cracky, but it's the Supernatural/Good Omens crossover we all knew we needed. Plus, it's a LOT of fun as well as hilarious. Poor Crowley is having the worst of days.
