talktoolooseSorry this chapter is so bloodly late. It's the longest ever, I think, terribly complicated and my life is overly full of stressful, time-consuming stuff. Forgive me, patient readers.
Title: Days of Becoming, Chapter 33: “Buggered by the Biggest Stevedore in the Port”
Author: Talktooloose
’Verse: X-Men movieverse
Warnings: explicit sexuality, drug use, self-delusion
Betas:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mofic, kuriadalmatia and lux_apollo. You each challenged me uniquely and made the chapter infinitely better
Disclaimers: Marvel and 20th Century own the X-Men, I own my original characters. Ownership is illusion.
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. This novel does not take X-Men Origins: Wolverine as canon.
Previously, in Days of Becoming: John has joined Magneto’s Brotherhood. After catching him performing oral sex on a “brother,” Mystique and Magneto have sent John undercover. He is to get into the bed of a Taylor Kincaid, a closeted Washington consultant working for Congressman Kemper of Idaho, and extract information on government anti-mutant initiatives. Back at the School for Gifted Youngsters, Bobby finds himself full of doubts. Although he and Rogue are supposedly the number one couple of the school, he finds himself thinking constantly about John and their time together. Doug Ramsey and Jones have formed a somewhat shady underground business called Janus Dog Node, helping various organizations and individuals hide money and information on a private, secure Internet simulacrum.
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 CAT toothdemon FRAUGHT net. That oughta fool the spambots for now.

All three of my betas have excellent ones, although both Lux's and Kuria's novels are WIPs and Kuria doesn't intend to finish hers. Check out Mo's wonderful X fic (mostly Scott/Logan) here (http://mo.fandomnation.com/fic/).
In fact, some of my favourite X novels are incomplete.
Have you read Minisinoo's X-Men novels? Especially Special (http://www.themedicinewheel.net/special/special.html) and Grail (http://www.themedicinewheel.net/grail/grail.html)?
