X-Men fanfic: "The Big Day" by Eliyes
Jul. 14th, 2008 08:35 pmHey, look, I wrote a het couple! With no sex*, though it's definitely implied to have happened. This is the opposite of death!fic -- no, no, not survived!fic (wherein a character who canonically died is saved, not that I don't generally like that type of fic). This is birth!fic. As in, someone being born is the main event of this story (well, arguably). I figured I should tell y'all that up-front, since I know some people avoid such stories like they're contagious.
(Don't worry, fic can't make you pregnant! ;D)
This is Iceman/Rogue established-relationship fic. It's an AU in that, at some point during the comicsverse time-line, they didn't get together in the books, but they did in this timeline. Also, this is skewed to be more from Bobby's pov than Rogue's, since I really don't think I could handle writing what it feels like to give birth, especially not having done it myself. The narrative is in the 3rd person.
I totally blame Rachel Luttrell and David Hewlett for inspiring this fic by having babies on and off screen (though not with each other). It put THOUGHTS in my MIIIIEEEEEND. *crazy face*
And now, without further ado or unnecessary authorial babbling:
The Big Day
* I have actually written sex for these two, basically a series of PWPs with hints of the relationship that frames these moments progressing past the edges of the scenes I've written. I haven't posted them because 1) they aren't finished, and I want to post them in one chunk (don't ask me why, I don't know), and b) for some reason posting heterosexual sex seems much more intimidating to me that posting slash. Possibly this stems from the fact that there's a much much higher chance that someone reading my stories has had f/m sex as opposed to m/m, wherein it's like 49% of 1/10th of the world has had m/m sex, and most of my readers are female, so they haven't. I FEER FOR MAH AK-YOU-RASS-EE. D: So. I may post these, someday, if I get the guts.
