Fandom: X-Men
Pairing: Bobby/John
Rating: Um... probably just lower than an R for swearing and a reference to naughty teenage things.
Summary: For dry_ice's June Blood Fic Challenge. Bobby makes John bleed, obviously, and the First Rule of John is Never Touch the Goddamn Lighter, Moron.

Author Notes: This was not meant to be funny. It was not meant to be an amalgamation of The Three Bobbys - Movie!Bobby, Original!Comic!Bobby and Ultimate!Bobby. But apparently, it is. Go me!

Special thanks, not just to Ashe for always being there to beta my stuff, but also to littledarkvoice for being my eternal X-fic sounding post and introducing me to the greatness of Blue!Shades!Bobby... ~loffs both~

Rating: PG-ish

Summary: "There are times when our worst enemies are within us."
Written for: vagabondsal
Also archived at: the_aa
Pairing/scenario requested: Charles/Erik. No conditions, s'hard enough to get them to be civil with one another nowadays as it is.?

But with a little John/Bobby thrown in. Because how could I not?

Also - backstory loosely based on Ultimate!canon.

Warnings: This is not my main ship and these bastards are not exactly willing to comply to teenage angst. Thus: old man story, with teenagers in.

Also: this story was originally written around the time of X2 - in June 2004 - but I've never posted it here and having just seen X-Men: First Class, it felt relevant. Other fics from this era may be migrated over in future.
