sabretooth x mystique
(rated PG, no warnings)

The Berlin safehouse was pretty dingy. The mattress was pretty dingy too. They were lucky it even had a sheet on it.

Sabretooth didn’t care. He was more than just content. He was happy.

His big, hairy, muscular body was wrapped neatly around the half-sleeping form of his lover. Leni Zauber.

He stroked her face fondly with a large, sharp-nailed hand.

She was gorgeous, that much was indisputable. But what he really liked was everything else. How she held herself. How she smelled. The rough, direct way she spoke to him. The way she made love. The way she danced.

A guy could get used to this. It was the kind of thing that made guys go AWOL.

He was thinking, seriously, of continuing to be awol. Maybe permanently.

“Got a hell of a thing for you, Leni,” he murmured to his half sleeping lover.

“You too,” she murmured back.

Sabretooth & Mystique

The original (90s canon) meeting between Sabretooth and Mystique plays out as a romance in a cold war spy thriller. 

Sabretooth is a US government operative, a secret spec ops soldier in “Team X”, along with Logan and a few other notable members. 

Mystique is a spy impersonating a figure that Sabretooth has been ordered to exfiltrate.  The two of them escape their pursuit in a stolen sports car convertible, and literally crash their way through the Berlin wall.

They spend a few days holed up in a Berlin safehouse, carrying out a torrid affair where Sabretooth even seems to contemplate leaving the spy business behind for her.

Only for Mystique to have to wind up ditching the fake identity, leaving Sabretooth believing that the woman he fell for is dead and gone.

🎶 Select a piece of music to relate to your ship. What themes or ideas about your ships does this piece of music share or highlight? (Sorry I’d send more but I’m at work rn!)

It’s okay, we’ve got plenty to handle anyway LOL

Song: Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

Ship: Sabretooth (😼🔪) and Mystique

Essay outline

  • Time period– X-Factor era (90s)
  • Broad idea: during this time, Mystique and Sabretooth are technically broken up, and even marginally enemies, but neither is over the other one.
  • (headcanon) Sabretooth loves annoying Mystique with mushy, goofy music, and would sing it at her at karaoke
  • The song highlights a staple of their relationship; being very compatible together, but lacking the emotional maturity and communication skills to really connect
  • More literally, the song focuses on escape and freedom, which is something neither of them have during the X-Factor era, both of them implanted with bomb collars and forced to work for the group.
  • Sabretooth of course repeatedly tries to get Mystique to run away with him, but she fears what will happen if they do.
  • Though it takes a while, they both eventually come back to the spark that they had, and get back together, just like the couple in the song.
  • “And she said, oh its you”. Despite looking everywhere else for love, sometimes it’s in the person you least want it to be.
