Days of Becoming, Chapter 15

[talktooloose]

Title: Days of Becoming, Chapter 15 - “The Yellow and the Black, Part 2”
Author: Talktooloose
'Verse: X-Men movieverse
Warnings: Swearing, misery, revealing hospital gowns.
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 (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: At the Turcott Clinic and at the Spiderhole, things go from bad to worse. And aren't you supposed to feel better when the heroes arrive?
Betas: kuriadalmatia, 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: I ret-conned the structure of the novel to divide it into books. Chapters 1 through 6 now comprise Book 1 ("Days of Awakening"). Book 2 ("From What I've Tasted of Desire") begins with Chapter 7 and ends with this chapter.

The betas, as usual, were immensely helpful and I've ignored a different strongly held point of criticism from each of them this time. Sorry guys, it's my funeral. Lux, especially may be disappointed that I handled his "that's too crude" criticism by making it cruder. *sigh*

In strange coincidence news, I'm publishing a Halloween chapter in the same week as Halloween. SPOOOOOOOOKKKYYYYYY!

I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. Please use the comments link at the end of the chapter to bring you back here or drop me email to talktooloose ATTT livejournal DOTTTT com.

Here's the chapter!

I'm sitting the most important exam of my life thus far this Wednesday, and I haven't been able to think about anything else for weeks; until now. Outstanding, captivating, major-exam-displacing work. Are you planning to continue releasing chapters on the same time-frame or does the end of book two prompt a hiatus?

PLEASE SAY NO TO THE SECOND OPTION. My head may explode otherwise.

An update! Yay! \o/

I'm sad at how things turned out with Lance. He was quite the bastard, but still, there was something nice between Bobby and him.

But OMG, is Johnny finally going to meet Bobby again? *excited*

Good luck with finding time to write us more lovely chapters! :-)

Everything before the end was amazing. The end, however, was beyond fantastic. Yay John and Bobby are going to finally meet up soon!

I liked Xeon. :) And Lucky and Ludo. And that entire scene with the face off against the human boys.

Poor Bobby. His (quasi) boyfriends seem to have a tendency to run off with the Brotherhood.
Really, this chapter was beyond awesome. I particularly liked Kitty's reaction to Magneto. Or rather, I particularly like your Kitty. She's one strong girl. And yet for all that awesomeness I can't wait to get to the sexing. I'm just that shallow. John is coming to stay at the mansion now, isn't he? Isn't he?

Let me get this out the way:
SQUEE!!!! OMG BOBBY AND JOHN ARE FINALLY MEETING AGAIN!!!!

Now more coherently can I just say how much I loved this chapter! I especially enjoyed your Magneto,as I fangirl him shamelessly, you have him spot on! Mystique was also wonderful.
Also, I really loved Mike's part in this, encouraging the kids at the Spiderhole to stand up for themselves and the scene where they have the stand off with the frat guys was awsome.

The shipper side of me is currently at war with itself as the Bobby/John part rejoices and the Kitty/Lance part weeps. I love your Kitty, it's good to see her have justice done to her after the movies failed so bad.

Overall: Yay! I can't wait for the next chapter!
