Title: Days of Becoming, Chapter 19 - "Friends Like These, Part 1"
Author: Talktooloose
'Verse: X-Men movieverse
Warnings: Explicit sex, swearing, over-earnest hardcore, bondage,
abuse of classical literature

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.
The action begins before X1, continues through the events of X2 and
X3 and concludes in the aftermath of that movie.

PREVIOUSLY IN DAYS OF BECOMING: On Halloween night, John Allerdyce
arrived at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters where he began a
passionate but clandestine relationship with Bobby Drake. John also
found a writing mentor in Charles Xavier who once aspired to be a
poet himself, before mutant concerns took over his life. While Bobby
worked with the visiting mutant engineer, Forge, John visited the
med-lab where Jean Grey tested him for any STIs he might have
acquired in his brief time as hustler. After their appointment, he
spent time with the comatose Jones whose condition had the staff
baffled.

Betas: mofic and lux_apollo. Thank you for making me a little less
fucked up than I'd otherwise be.

Disclaimers: Marvel and 20th Century own this stuff but they screw up
everything. Like what's with this Young X-Men crap? And why isn't
Josh Holloway going to play Gambit in the Wolvie movie?
