    Is there any decent X-man stories with Xavier as the protag, or at least in a prominent role?

    I've been in a X-man kick for a while and, tbh, am scared to venture inside ffnet or ao3 to look for them due to, as you can imagine, amount of slash stories there is.

    I'm looking for heroic stories mostly.

    I liked Sheherazade's Fable's Magneto focused works, and they have a few that I haven't read about Xavier. It might be what you're looking for.

    Thank you for the recommendations.

    Kenchi is always a okay read, even tho I dislike Emma Frost era of Xavier Institute.

    Sheherazade's work feels like after epilogue fan fictions of HP. Very possible, no venturing out, nor taking any risk, but very readable.

    Similarly to Jon, this isn't what you asked for, but maybe... Jus Ad Bellum, by Jenn. I enjoyed it 10-15 years ago, but it might be legitimately terrible now.

    This is the only copy I can find: http://www.wolverineandrogue.com/wrfa/viewstory.php?sid=2085

    If I recall, it's part movie-verse part comic-verse. 165k words. Rogue crosses to an alternate reality where mutant registration went ahead, and the world has gone wrong.

    I found a review here:

    Take a look. Maybe it's even as good as I remember.
