Title: Days of Becoming, Chapter 21 - “Liberty Spikes”
Author: Talktooloose
'Verse: X-Men movieverse
Warnings: Graphic violence, swearing, sexual imaginings, implications that casual drug use isn't the end of the world
Betas: lux_apollo, mofic. So many transformations, especially for Lux who read the earliest draft. Thanks for all the input on all the endings and for helping me work out the logic.
Disclaimers: Marvel and 20th Century own the X-Men but we make them share, like the good kindergarten teachers we are.

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.

Previously in Days of Becoming: THE OCs HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ASYLUM. Mike Haddad (who is not a mutant, but has become a highly politicized punk rocker) and his mutant girlfriend, Jubilee, have been working to include mutant students in their school's Christmas dance. They are attempting to keep this a secret from Mike's parents who want him to be a good boy and get into med school. Unbeknownst to Jubilee, Mike has been warned by the anti-mutant group, The Friends of Humanity, to withdraw the invitation to mutant students.
