Summary
They don't talk about it. They don't talk about Afghanistan or Mongolia or Cuba. They don't talk about the bullets and blood between them. It's safer that way. To talk about it would open scars and scabs that will never heal completely. History is a dangerous thing. It brings people closer but can tear them apart.
So they don't talk about anything important. They argue over cards, and drink too much. It's just them, in a shitty hotel room because whatever passes for home is too far away.

Excellent characterization and beautiful lines like: They fight over nothing because what they're angry at can't be hit. Rough, unapologetic, and hot...pretty much like their relationship.

Summary
When you've seen countries, regimes, civilizations rise and fall, when you've made terrible mistakes that cost the lives of thousands and agonized as much over one lost potentiality, when you can see all the possible futures stretching out before you, it takes a rare person to put you truly at ease for a quiet conversation and a cup of tea. Even if he's your enemy.

It all started with the meat-locker. Sort of. But really the meat-locker didn't have much to do with it. It wanted to though, which was public-spirited of it.

Summary
Clint’s standing on his front step in boots and a bathrobe, Santa hat cock-eyed and yelling about Kwanzaa. Lucky’s on the fire escape, making mournful noises and covering his good eye with his paw, evidently more aware than Clint is that Lucky’s idiot master brought a bathrobe and a Santa hat to a gun fight.

Excellently written and feels like it could be canon. The crafty use of parentheticals only make it seem more so! Very strong use of Kate POV to reveal a lot about Clint in a relatively brief story.

"You're kidding me. He works for a lunatic like Norman Osborne, he's the fucking God of War, and he's doing domestic shit like putting his kid's pictures up in the communal kitchen?"
"You know how proud papas are," Mac said. "Oh, wait, I guess you don't."

Perfect voice and believable characterization for post-film Narrator/Tyler. As fucked up as it should be and deliciously so.

Summary
Charles Xavier has returned from the dead -- but is lost within his own mind. Rogue has cast aside her own power and doesn't know where she fits in the world any longer. The production of synthetic Cure means mutantkind itself is newly at risk. And Magneto, turned human against his will, is in despair until the day he feels a familiar consciousness tugging at his own --
Set after X-3 (with much desperate fix-it applied), during XMFC, and every time in between.

Bookmarker's Notes
Excellently characterized multiple-POV story that takes all the best parts about the xmmv/xmfc and blends them together. Set post-X3, it's a solid read with emotionally satisfying get-togethers and a plot that that's meaty enough to sustain the length.

Bookmarker's Notes
I never really thought I'd be interested in reading fic about Ari and Uzi, but here I am being proven wrong in spades. This is one of those fics which feels like it truly belongs in the canon. Another commenter noted on one of the things which also stood out to me: the flaws and brokenness of the Tenenbaums remains, and yet, the characters retain their humanity. An all around spectacular fic for the fandom.

Amazingly beautiful prose and word choices. This fic opens up more depth to the world using what is a subtle here-and-gone visual metaphor in the film. This is everything a Dark City fic should be!

Beautifully written fic that's entirely Borden-centric. A strong focus on the mysticism of twinhood, loneliness, and need.

Hot porn, cute lines, and Steve in tight fuck-me jeans makes for a quick, delicious read.
