[talktooloose]

Title: Days of Becoming, Chapter 14 - “The Yellow and the Black, Part 1”
Author: Talktooloose
'Verse: X-Men movieverse
Warnings: Swearing, crudeness, smarminess.
Series Summary: This novel focusses 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 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: Happy Halloween. Bobby and Kitty are trick or treating in the wrong way while the party at the mansion takes a surprising turn. Meanwhile in Boston, Mike learns that there is more to Jubilee's friends than meets the eye.
Betas: mofic and lux_apollo. Thank you for your precision and commitment.
Disclaimers: Marvel and 20th Century own this stuff but they need us to make sense of it.

Notes: Dazzler's musical stylings by Lux. Special thanks to Pete Chvany for information on where it's happening in Boston! I hope I didn't mess it up.

Ooh, this chapter is some heavy lifting! Also entertaining, I think. Enjoy. Chapter 15 will probably not be out until I'm back from India... I'd guess six weeks until I post. Sorry for the delay.

Here's the chapter!

Here's the DOB homepage for earlier chapters!

Thanks. Let me know how it reads as single piece. The good news is that I haven't written in two weeks and it's killing me, so I won't let things slide too long.

India planning is also killing me, but all the work we're doing now will pay off in an eye-opening and wonderful holiday, I think.
