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*)
