Title: Days of Becoming, Chapter 18 - "Let the Statue of Liberty Turn
Her Gave Inland"
Author: Talktooloose
'Verse: X-Men movieverse
Warnings: Explicit sex, swearing, bad rap, flame wars and, uh, explicit sex

Series Summary: This novel focuses mainly on the paths Iceman and
Pyro take on their way to adulthood and how they discover and deal
with their love for each other. It is a novel about what Joni
Mitchell calls "the dream's malfunction" and how we can learn to make
our own dreams when our heroes fail us. Other X characters (including
ones from comicverse and elsewhere) and OC's play prominent roles and
the action begins before X1, continues through the events of X2 and
X3 and concludes in the aftermath of that movie.

Chapter Summary: The mutant protest goes ahead in New York but Bobby
and John have their reasons for missing out. John shares secrets with
Jean and Kitty and questions Bobby's feelings. Featuring Forge and
his amazing gadgets! Also, the return of a missing OC!

Betas: kuria_dalmatia, mofic and lux_apollo: Passionate, precise and
indispensible.

Disclaimers: Marvel and 20th Century own this stuff but they do
stupid stunts like killing off Cyclops and cancelling New X-Men. No
actors were harmed in the making of this fic including Susan
Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Chad Michael Murray who appear without
permission.

Notes: Sorry for the delay but I took on a stupid freelance job that
is eating my brain. Also, the chapter is the longest yet and took a
long time to get right.

RETCON ALERT: I came to my senses and restructured so that Book 3 now
begins with Chapter 17, not Chapter 16. I don't know what I was
thinking before.

I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. Please use the comments link at the end of
