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.
Author's notes: Found this in an old notebook and figured I'd post it. Feel free to ask me about my headcanon for Hank's relationships, because trust me, I have lots to say.
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. )

This is pretty cool!

I have no problem with Northstar marrying his boyfriend; they're a cute couple, and comics need to stop trying to keep everyone in this relationship limbo thing.

What I want to know is why the hell are they getting married in New York?! They're both Canadian citizens! Same-sex marriage has been legal in Canada since 2005! Why not get married there, avoiding the red tape of having your wedding in another country -- always a pain in the ass. They can have a post-wedding party in New York if for some reason a bunch of the guests couldn't go to Canada -- have the X-Men moved back to NY, even? I thought they were still based off the West Coast?

So, picked up a copy of Wolverine and the X-Men #01 at my FLCS today.

The Jean Grey School For Higher Learning.

Logan and Kitty are the headmasters.

Bachalo is drawing.

....I may have to pick up this series.

Title: Loose Lips Sink Ships
Timing: Before M-Day, shortly after Jean's death. If that's the wrong order, pretend it's not. *has no idea*
Author's notes: I am tired of this particular terminology popping up everywhere.
Featuring: Some of the new X-men (students at the time) and one of the old ones.


( Hellion was already talking as he and Anole walked into the rec room )

So, who was that Gambit was talking to down in the Genoshan holding cells? I didn't catch the end of the episode (if we were shown) but by voice -- and especially the way he said "Wanda?" -- my money's on Quicksilver.

(Third episode of Wolverine and the X-Men I've ever caught part of! To my great disappointment, no one sang doo wop!)

This is a little drabble set before M-Day, some short time after the wedding kerfuffle, and written primarily because I like to think Alex gained some wisdom from his time in the Mutant X universe.

( Jean-Paul's making comparisons. Alex is just being helpful. )

Title: Johnny Thunder lives on water, feeds on lightning
Fandom: X-Men comics, real world figure skating
Warnings: mild swearing, Olympic spoilers
Author's notes: Title is lyrics from the song Johnny Thunder by The Kinks. This fic is dedicated to scribblinlenore, by far the most vocal of the Johnny Weir fans on my f-list. ;3

Summary: ( Bobby has something to say about the men's figure skating outcomes. )

Title: Tough Love
Summary: After the mess with Mystique (in the last issue, especially, of Manifest Destiny), some of Bobby's teammates decide that an intervention is in order, but get more than they bargained for.

( Face it: you've got a thing for reformed bad girls. )

Comment and I'll give you three fandoms, for which you must answer these:

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

a_trill gave me Star Trek, X-Men, and Stargate.

( Get the scoop under the cut! )

.

Title: Not Coming for the Kill
Characters: primarily Angel and Iceman, others
Warning: This one hurts. Not set in continuity -- I guess I just needed to write someone hurting at the time.

( You were wounded, you were bound and chained... )

"No clowning around, Bobby! Our danger-room testing is serious business!" -- Scott Summers

In X-Men #40, "THE MARK of the MONSTER!".

Hank called Bobby: "my frigid little friend", "son", "my non-cognizant compeer", "lad" (twice)

Bobby called Hank: "Beastie" (thrice), "my boastful buddy", "ol' Hank"

Hank called himself: "the bounding Beast", "the gazelle-like Beast", "an unexpectedly rebounding Beast"

Bobby called himself: "this fresh-frozen, hot-headed X-Man"

And Professor X is really, really bad at remembering to call the kiddies by their code names. For realz.

"Who's clowning?" -- Hank McCoy

This is a fic rec post. :D I'm usually leery of the Pit unless I'm given a specific rec, but I put on my hipwaders and got out my hunting cats and found me some fancy picks from the voles.

They are all X-Men stories, from various continuities and time periods. Most are Iceman-centric, but not all. eta: None of these are porn! :D

The Shape of Water is a story about Rogue talking to Bobby about his secondary mutation. It has some interesting imagery and some discussion of the Iliad, and that's probably the major contributing factor to me reccing it.

Snow People features the original five X-Men, and is set shortly after Jean's arrival. It has an interesting little twist. ;3

Superhero is a Northstar-centric character piece with situational illustration. I'm describing it badly. IT'S REALLY GOOD, my favourite story by this author, and the chapters are short. It takes place during his time with the X-Men.

Morning is a 1602 story by an author who felt that the friendship between Werner and Roberto Trefusis (Angel and Iceman) was not sufficiently addressed in the books. This story takes place after the death of a character and thus should not be read by anyone not wanting to be spoiled for the story.

babysat is a Hank & Bobby friendship fic that takes place during the first run in X-Factor, after Bobby's powers have been amped by Loki and Beast has been whammied by Pestilence. The timing is a little wonky (Hank's intelligence should not have deteriorated that much before Bobby has the inhibitor belt) but the sentiment is 100% awesome (and the Star Wars obsession is, alas, spot on).

Things Not To Do At Xavier's is the token Evo fic in this list, but it's... incredibly long. It's not actually a fic, per se: Xavier has posted a list of rules, and various people (including bad guys) have written comments on the list. I laughed out loud a lot while reading this, but it is essentially a list with talking heads, and it's very silly, so take that into account when deciding if you want to read it. Spoilers for the entire X-Men: Evolution series.

Th-th-that's all folks! (Although if you want to rec something to me in the comments, OH HEY FEEL FREE, MAN! 8D ...Please nothing featuring getting drunk or taking drugs or spanking in any form. *scarred by The Pit*)

Look look!

( Didn't I tell ya? )

Seriously. Made of win.

Basically I loved it and you should all totally run out and buy it.
