Title: For the Sake of Argument
Fandom: X-Men, post-Mutant X and pre-M-day... or something like that. Mentions events and people from before that point.

Summary: A conversation between two old friends about past relationships prompts Northstar to make a move.


( Conversations in or near a team are never private. )

Title: No Glove, No Love
Fandom: Generation X, during that period when Bobby was teaching at the Snow Valley school.
Summary: Sometimes, being a mentor sucks, or, Sex Education, mutant-style.
Author's Notes: No, this is not a Bobby/Angelo fic.


( The most awkward of topics to have to mentor. )

As I mentioned in the Author's notes of Do Over, I rewrote it several times before I got something I was willing to post. Well, I've recently decided that the second-to-posted attempt doesn't entirely suck -- it just wasn't what I was looking for -- so I'm going to post it up as a deleted scene.

Minus all the angry editorial scribblings in the margins, of course.

It would be best if you've actually read "Do Over", but if you don't wanna, here's what you need to know: in Wolverine v.3 #25, a brainwashed Wolverine killed Jean-Paul Beaubier (Northstar). In this fic, when Bobby Drake (Iceman) died (whenever that will be), a higher power offered him the chance to go back and change one thing he'd done in his life, and relive things from that moment as they would have been if he'd done that the first go around, with no memory of the choice. Bobby chooses to save Jean-Paul.

All of this is in "Do Over", but here's what he did, what happened, and what happened next from an earlier version. I ultimately didn't go with this because it switches perspectives, and Jean-Paul wasn't as shaken by what happened as I wanted. It is, consequently, a lot more upbeat.

Title: Nothing Owing
Timing: San Fran-ish, but ignoring whatever's happening in the books.
Summary: Bobby looks after a sick friend, with a little help.
Author's note: Never has this icon been more appropriate. This is payback for the random Bobby-whumping I did in Not Coming For The Kill, but is unrelated to that story/AU.


( Warren isn't feeling well, so I figured I'd pamper him some. )

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

a_trill gave me:

1. Iceman Probably one of my favourite comic book characters. I like the dichotomy of his ice powers and form with his hothead and warm heart. And I like that he's the class clown without being mean about it. Every class clown I ever met was a bully; Bobby isn't. He would do anything for his friends.

2. NCIS I like cop shows. NCIS is an awesome and generally well-written example of the genre. I like most of the ensemble cast.

3. Aurion I like genderswap. And, as I said above, I like Iceman -- Aurion is a published genderswapped version of Iceman! And she's adorable, and more confident in her powers than the adult male version is these days.

4. Star Trek Baby's First Fandom. I was raised by Trekkies. I met my best friend because of Star Trek. I'm currently in an active fannish phase, but even when I'm not, Star Trek is entwined with my grey matter. I could wax philosophic about Roddenbury's vision here, but I shan't. ;3

5. Boostle Two superheroes I might not like nearly as much apart, but who just go great together.

Title: Fashionable Space-Age Medical Professionals
Rating: Mmm for Miniskirts
Author's note: Random Spider-Friends no powers AU. ;D

Title: At The Bottom Of It
'verse: X-Men: Evolution
Characters: Sam Guthrie and Bobby Drake (pre-slash), others mentioned
Rating: G
Author's notes: Bobby has an idea. Sam figures something out.


( It sometimes seemed like Bobby could talk him into anything, whether it would obviously land them in a world of trouble or not... )

Title: Pool Time Rules
Characters: Northstar/Iceman
Word count: 1106
Summary: Swimsuit shenanigans! Much more fun than "Cruel Summer Day".
Author's notes: For timemonkey. I hope you like it!

( Jean-Paul Beaubier slung his towel over his shoulder, the better to stand with his hands on his hips and stare at the pool )

In 1981, Uncanny X-Men #146 was published. In it, there was a panel in which we see the room of "college sophomore Bobby Drake". I have blown up the pertinent panel and labeled it with (red) numbers on a few things I want to point out.

1. Skis! :D
2. "YIELD" sign. Naughty Bobby, vandalizing municipal signage like that.
3. Space Cruiser Yamato poster. THAT'S RIGHT! An anime poster right over his bed in '81. *hugs him*
4. He's got one of those beds where the headboard is a bookcase. :D I love those things, the bed I left at my parents' is like that. It's super handy.
5. A centerfold has been taped to the wall. Classy.
6. This is a bra. A bra which is nailed to a plaque on the wall. Wouldn't you love to know what the story behind that one is?
7. Whatever this is, it's purple. It might be a sock? It might be briefs, or a sleeve?
8. "STA WA" is probably "STAR WARS" -- I think this is the movie soundtrack on record. I submit for your consideration that Hank McCoy had every single episode of the original Star Trek series on VHS. Do you think they had that stereotypical Trekkie vs Warsian thing going? ;3
9. Another record, this time the self-titled first album of KISS. I'm always interested in his musical tastes, I admit. Do you think any of those other records are any of the seven other albums KISS put out before this issue saw print? :D
10. Look! Stubble! I don't think we'll see it on Bobby's face again for another 300 issues of UXM.

Items 2, 5, and 6 lead me to believe that this is a dorm room as opposed to a room at his parents' house. I could be wrong. I don't actually own this issue -- I just have the one right after it. ;_;

Also, I think he mustn't have any overhead lights in that room, because he's got like three lamps that we can see.

One of the many things which bugs me about how Uncanny X-Men #415 ended has nothing at all to do with the thing with Northstar and everything do do with some basic common sense.

What if it had gone differently?

( Mere hours before, a jealous mutant mudman had attempted to kill Hank's dear friend, Bobby Drake. )
