smirnoffmule wrote All Day Permanent Red. PG-13. Summary: Logan's never been one to back down from a fight, but in times of war, it's all too easy for things to just fall apart.
This fic isn't anchored in any particular comic, but it explores a lot of the issues of Logan's past and history. Written for thelgbtfest, this story explores the experience of being bisexual in one of the earlier eras of Logan's 100+ year lifespan. The pacing and the emotion of this story is pitch perfect and I was really blown away by it.

iambickilometer wrote better luck next time.Unrated. Spoilers for X-Factor #45, in particular, and X-Force, X-Factor in general. Summary: Some people got a way with words. Rictor doesn't.
This fic is hosted at Dreamwidth, but it was so good that I wanted to make sure I recced it. Plus, it is the only fic I've found thus far that deals with the recent events of X-Factor. I'm not as familiar with these characters, but the story unfolds brilliantly and by the conclusion, I felt like I knew Rictor, and through him, Shatterstar. Very nice writing.

second_batgirl wrote Six Times Bobby Drake Helped with the X-Men's Taxes.PG. Summary: It's in the title.
Another fic that is set in general comicsverse, but it's too funny not to read. I like outsider POVs and Bobby, though not an outsider, has a very particular way of looking at his teammates. Plus, it's funny!

harmonyangel wrote Cherry Chapstick. PG-13. Spoilers for Manifest Destiny. Summary: Bobby Drake finds himself in a gay bar in the Castro.
This fic was written by one of our wonderful mods and is awesome for a variety of reasons, not the least of which – it features Bobby Drake. Yes, this is relevant to my interests, but whether or not he's your favorite, this story is cute and insightful. Also, it has a lovely finale.
