poilass, in my opinion is a minor deity in the X-Men fandom. She can write a mean Bobby and Hank. Whether it be angst like her two fics
Dialouge and
First, Do No Harm, light hearted comedy like the hilarious Bobby/Morph fic
Changing Faces, or character pieces like her
Rain, all of her fics are amazing insights into the the X-Men characters.
It Could Be Sunshine by
tweezle aka N is the first in a WIP about the relationship between Jonothon Starsmore of Gen X and Bobby Drake. I always love Bobby, and his ability to see the humor in any situation.
I think I might be falling in love.
Hold the chorus of 'aws' please- I didn't say that this was a good thing. Quite the contrary, really. And no, I'm not being melodramatic about this. Allow me to explain…
In my line of work, romance rarely works out well. And for the record, I'm referring to my career as a mutant crusader and superhero, NOT as a CPA. (CPAs don't get a lot of action either, but for different reasons.)
See, the problem with always running off to save the world is that it leaves you precious little time for dating. And if you DO manage to get out of the house for social reasons, nine times out of ten you can't really relate to people who lead 'normal' lives.
You know, like CPAs.N also did a good job speaking from Jono's point of view and voices his insecurities about being with the class clown of the X-Men as well as dealing with his mutation. Scene to remember: the shower scene. *fans self*

While you're reading N's stuff, hop over to her web comic
Nice Hair which is a funny, little comic about Niel Gaiman and Tim Burton on crack.
Heroes and Circumstances by Ericka is a cute little Bobby/Remy fic.
Bobby coughed as if to clear his throat. He then looked down at his hand, as if going down a list. "Beast said I had all the looks of a surfer dude. Jean thought I was cute and then she hugged me, like, a lot. Scott told me not to worry about it. Warren mentioned the next time he came down we would hit the clubs. Rogue, well, she was quite vague and said something about a boy next door. And I don't wanna be a 'boy's next door'; they never seem to get the hot babes," Bobby explained, finally looking up at Remy. "Professor..."
"What de 'ell did you do, poll ev'ryone?"
"Yeah." There was a 'duh' hidden somewhere in that word, Remy was sure of it.
