RECS: X-men Comicsverse

[ficwize]

It's that time again – Fic Recs on xmen_on_lj! (Or, LOOKIT WHAT I FOUND!)

Again, I remind people that I can only link to the fics that I actually find and I encourage you to link *me* (and everyone else) to any comicverse fics that you've found and loved. Just drop a note in the comments, mkay??

There were several ficathons that went life over the past weeks and I found quite a few good fics at remixredux09, femslash09, and apocalyptothon. Next time, I have plans for a more writing oriented post (and less of a reader oriented one).

Now, onto the goodness!


iambickilometer wrote volverás para devolverlo. PGish. X-Factor. Summary: In which Shatterstar is passing through, and problems are not solved.

I admit it, I don't even read X-Factor, but I'm starting to think that maybe I should be. This fic explores more of Shatterstar's life, in light of recent developments. It's Shatterstar and Rictor and ponders what might be in their past.

karrenia_rune wrote karrenia_rune. PG-13. X-Factor. Summary: Even at the end of the world, past or future, Layla Miller still knows 'stuff".

This was written for apocalyptothon, so be warned about End of the World vibes. Even so, it’s a very interesting look at these characters as they fight an unwinnable war – and decide that maybe it's winnable after all.

second_batgirl wrote Happy Campers. PG-13. Spoilers for Giant Size Astonishing X-Men and New Warriors.. Summary: IThis was really not how Kitty had thought the camping trip was going to go.

From femslash09, this fic explores the relationship between Jubilee and Kitty. Often adversarial, these two women find out that they have more in common than they thought.

scoured wrote Memory, hither come. NC-17. Grant Morrison's New X-Men. Summary: Jean and Emma are trapped in a prison of their own making.

Another femslash09 fic, this is just plain-old snarky Jean/Emma hotness. Yum.

likeadeuce wrote 15 Entries from the Pillow Book of Alex Summers (The Bullet Point Remix). PG. Uncanny X-Men. Summary: Stuck in the Australian Outback with a ragtag X-Men team, Alex Summers takes a novel approach to preserving his sanity.

This is a fic that one of our mods wrote for remixredux09 and even though I did not read the arc of Uncanny where this is set, I didn't need to for this fic to beautifully capture and reveal the characters. Also, it's a really interesting look at Alex Summers – a character I don't know much about., but wish I did now.

harmonyangel wrote Logan's Infamous Canadian Sandwiches (The Young and Glorious Remix). PG-13. Astonishing X-Men and Uncanny X-Men. Summary: Hisako can’t sleep. Pixie is perky. Logan makes sandwiches.

Another mod fic from remixredux09, this one featuring a character that I *love* - Hisako. This fic does a fantastic job of making her so real, young, afraid, determined and just generally *brilliant.* I have a lot of love for this fic.

second_batgirl wrote I Never (The But Just This Once Remix) . PG-13. X-Men First Class. Summary: And then Warren kissed him.

The last remixredux09 rec from me is the second fic from second_batgirl on the list. It's absolutely adorable and her teenage!Scott voice makes me want to squeeze him and tell him it's all going to be okay.
