I’ve just published my very first work on ‘Archive of Our Own’, under the same name as here. It is the first chapter of ‘I Am My Own Best Friend ~ An Emma Frost Road Trip’, which focuses on Emma between the events of IvX and Secret Empire, including the White Queen going on a road trip, to try and have fun!
You can read the story here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15795663
I hope you enjoy it as much I did writing it!

No they didn't. Cyclops led the X-Men, but Jean, Iceman, Angel, and Beast left, though Jean returned as Phoenix (only to turn bad and be killed-off). The "New" X-Men did break up the family. I didn't care because I generally found the "old" X-Men rather dull, but it was a valid complaint. I imagine if you weren't alive at the time and reading the comic you might get a distorted view of things, but the New X-Men really did break up the band.
You've got a very biased view. The Neal Adams run is still a great run, and though it got cancelled, the sales figures were on the rise and Roy Thomas has gone on record as saying that had publisher Martin Goodman not jumped the gun and cancelled the comic before seeing the new sales figures the Adams issues had brought in, he probably wouldn't have cancelled the comic at all; as it was he didn't let it die completely but kept it in print, only reprinting old X-Men stories with new covers.

The O5 really did have fans, and it seems they still do since they have survived two relaunches with no signs of slowing down. Haters gonna hate
I'm so torn on this letter! Normally I would have just said that the reader didn't know a good comic when he read one, but, man..it's Kurt Busiek! My favorite Avengers's writer! He CLEARLY has good taste and knows a good comic when he sees one because he wrote so many of them! It's like Star Wars characters saying bad things about Lord of The Rings! Augh. My head is exploding.....
