Review:
After X-Men 2, Logan goes on the road. He and Marie e-mail each other while he's gone.
It's amazing what an author can do with a really well-written epistolary fic. There were times this story nearly moved me to tears, and other times when I laughed out loud. Marie's youth and determination shine through, as does Logan's gruff affection and blunt language. I do wish the author hadn't brushed aside the whole Marie-touching-people issue, but it's a very minor quibble in an otherwise great fic.

To get credits towards his teaching license, Scott Summers goes to work in a math camp for the summer. On the bus he meets a fellow camp counselor: Reed Richards.
Aldalindil has an incredible gift for blending Marvel characters in a natural way. The conversation between Reed and Scott is incredibly in character for both and wonderfully entertaining. The cameo appearance of young Peter Parker and Harry Osborne ends up being the cherry on top of this short yet delightful fic.

My friends and I will be watching “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” later this week, so I thought it was a good moment to share my favorite Logan-centric fic.
Fandom: X-Men.
Pairing: Logan/Marie (Wolverine/Rogue), Scott Summers/Jean Gray, plus some Scott/Rogue, Gambit/Rogue and Logan/
Categories: Romance.
Length: Long.
Warnings: Based on the first X-men movie in terms of continuity and characterization.
Author Website: Eye Teeth – Fanfiction by Ransom.
After going off in search of his past, Logan keeps returning to the Mansion, drawn by his feelings of protectiveness towards Marie and becoming increasingly frustrated when he realizes her life no longer revolves solely around him. As time passes, he becomes attracted to her and finally realizes what should have been obvious long before: he is in love with her. He is determined to change their relationship, but the best-laid plans of mutants and men often go awry…

Review:
A Dangerous Man is a bonus fic in Jane St. Clair and Te's "Handbasket" series, a number of fics revolving around the (somewhat twisted) relationship between a young Iceman and Hank McCoy. The series and A Dangerous Man are set in Marvel Ultimates universe, which tweeks the classic X-Men just slightly. The X-Men are still a team of mutants led by telepath Charles Xavier, but mutants are known by society at large and feared (more than usual, that is) and Professor X is just a wee bit overbearing and controlling (again, just more than usual). In this story the X-Men makes a diplomatic trip due north, where they run into Canada's Alpha Flight and that team's political dissident, Jean-Paul Beaubier. Northstar makes it his mission to pull the shy and repressed Cyclops out of his shell, and Northstar's snarky but heartfelt persistence eventually begins to work on his intended target.
What works best for me in this story, and what these authors have seemed to master, is the use of banter. The play-by-play between Scott and Jean-Paul is simply amazing: funny, nice insight as to the personality of the characters as interpreted by the writers, and enjoyable as all hell. I found myself empathizing with this Scott Summers, when usually I find myself wishing the character had some superpowered help removing the stick from his neither regions. Northstar, who's always been a favorite of mine, is flirty and intelligent and a delight. It's a character-piece and a non-meet cute that I've found myself coming back to numerous times.
Oh yes, and there's smexin'. And it's HAWT. Which, you know, is neat.
