Enough Xmen fic recs to choke a hog ... Part 1

[neotoma]

Xmen movie overview -- the movies [XMM] are popular, but people jump their fics off in different places, hence different ages for characters from the second and third movies.
Xmen comics overview -- the comics come in two flavors [comics] and [Ult-X]; that's the mainstream comics, with over 40 years of canon, and the Ultimate line, which has under 10 years. I couldn't find any good Mutant-X fics, which was a short-lived series in which Alex/Havoc found himself in a freaky universe where he'd basically lived Scott's life, being on the original team, marrying the hot redhead, and all; Scott got to live Corsair's life as a space pirate, and was one of the few times where he's wild and implusive -- good crack, in other words.

TEAM (some gen, some adult)

Aviation by penknife -- [XMM] Scott tries not to say things like you don't know how to build an airplane and you don't know how to fly an airplane and what in the hell, Hank, because he is aware that saying things like that does not make him popular.

Coalescence -- andrastewhite -- [XMM] In the beginning there are no words. Xavier, back and forth

All He is by Te -- [XMM] Five things that probably won't happen to Kurt.

Eros on Trial by minisinoo -- [Ult-X] Cyclops is showing an interest in a new woman, and she's not a mutant. But she might hold the keys to his family, and his past. What will his classmates -- and the professor -- make of Lee Forrester? Lee was always a great character, and her as an Ultimate character is fun

Hanging Lights by minisinoo -- [Ult-X] Snapshots of the decorating process . . . and purple lights. The Ultimate X-men being silly during the holidays; so freaking adorable.

Grail by minisinoo -- [XMM] At Alkali Lake, Jean Grey gave her life to save her fellows. But if so, what's risen from the water? A little bit ghost story, a little bit mystery, a little bit suspense. Really amazing storytelling, and a delightful difference from the third movie.

The Stuff of Nightmares by ridesandruns-- [comics] Hilarious send up of X3 from the comics characters viewpoint.

Zero Plus One by azurine -- [Ult-X] A friendship forms in the wake of Weapon X.

Lesson Plans by sionnain -- [comics] It’s hard to enforce simple academic procedures when you have Scott’s staff of instructors, especially when one of them is Logan.

The Second Angel by vagabond_sal --[XMM/The Day After Tomorrow] 'And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus'...

A Certain Kind of Light by likeadeuce -- [comics] Emma said, "We all deserve a break," and Kitty said "Karaoke!" and the heartache that followed was pretty much inevitable. This is an absolutely serious story, that happens to contain a lot of jokes about the Bee Gees. The Astonishing team has a night out.

Some Rain Must Fall -- by vagabond_sal [XMM] Jean and Storm meeting for the first time. Lovely prequel to the movie, dealing with the earliest class at Xavier's

The More Things Change, the More they Stay the Same by wizefics -- [XMM] Magneto, after the Cure. with a not-jerk Pietro!

Cooking and Other Experiments by penknife -- [XMM] The first students cook Thanksgiving dinner at Jean's instigation; Scott has doubts.

The Last of the Jedi by artaxastra -- [XMM] What would you do if someone told you that you were special, that you needed to come learn how to use your unique talents? If you were Jean Grey, 11 years old in the summer of 1977, Star Wars would give you something to think about when the Jedi come to you. Tiny!Jean is so wonderful in this story; Xavier and Magneto are pretty nifty too...

Something Biblical, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 by trollprincess -- [XMM] The end of the world doesn't come with a bang or a whimper -- just an eerie quiet followed by the slow rumble of something terrifying on the horizon. If Magneto had succeed at Alkali Lake...

1602

A while back, Neil Gaiman (yes, him, the guy who did SANDMAN) wrote a miniseries for Marvel set in 1602, with the X-Men, Avengers, and Fantastic Four and associated villians translated into an Elizabethean setting -- well, with dinosaurs -- and it was AMAZING. The resulting fic was pretty darned good, too.

The Waterfall by revelininsanity -- Irene waits for her husband to come home, and sees all the paths that they might walk. Irene, Raven, and the original backstory for Kurt! Squeee!

Beginnings by baffledking -- The founding of Carlos Javier's School for Young Gentlemen, or how he formed the J-Men.

Leap of Faith by st_aurafina -- what happened to everyone on the second Xmen team when Carlos and his original students fled to the New World? Kurt! Sean! Sinister! eeee!

Succubus by artaxastra Maria D'Acanto is a Succubus, and St. Augustine is no place for Witchbreed.
