Me with every pair of two rivals: They're married your honor.

[parkshan820]

May there be kittens.

Work was awful today.

His boss was less than nice to him today, nothing was working and always broke down when he used them, and other residents had a thing against him because he was good at what he does. It wasn’t his fault that he excelled in all the areas in the hospitals. It was a natural talent as surgeons say.

Then his car broke decides not to start so he could go home.

Cursing, he slams onto the steering wheel before sighing and taking out his phone. He searched through his contacts before he realized that he couldn’t call his boyfriend. Alex was at work and his boss was even worse than Hank’s was.

Hank sighs as he puts his phone into his pocket and zips up his jacket before he starts his trek back to their apartment. It really wasn’t that far of a walk, its just autumn is now turning into winter and the temperature throughout the day keeps dropping.

He also doesn’t like the grey clouds in the sky, starting to rumble telling pedestrians that rain is soon to come.

Hank grabs his hood and pulls it over his head to prevent the chill from going through his clothes as his pace quickens, hoping to beat the rain that is soon to come. He always wanted to be a doctor. His mother inspired him to become one has she told him stories about her days as a surgeon when he was younger. It was one of the last few precious memories he had of her before cancer slowly killed her body and passed when he was sixteen.

God he wishes she could meet Alex.

Hank knows his mom would like Alex. The blond never lets anyone push him around, just like his mother never let anyone push her around. She was never afraid to tell dad when he was going to far or that he was being unfair to both of them when he arrives home late from work without a word. She was always good for dad.

Hank always would imagine that she would pull his boyfriend into a hug and immediately call him family the second she takes a good long look at him and approves him. His father was more hesitant at the fact. Awkward around Alex and closed off until he got to know him more before opening up and accepting him into the family.

Hank was so lost in his thoughts that his foot bumps into something, nearly making him trip and hearing a soft quiet meow come out of the box. Confused he crouches down and opens the box to see two small kittens curled up together for warmth, both blinking up at him and mewing at him. “Hi little ones.” He whispers in awe and the little blond one stretches up, placing two of it’s white paws onto the box, trying to get closer to him.

“Aww, it’s okay little guy.” He says, his finger rubbing it’s head, the kitten purring at the attention it was receiving. The light brown one was bigger than the blond one, settling beside it’s sibling to also get some pets. Hank looks around to see if the owner was nearby before seeing the marker print on the side of the box claiming they were free. “Aw you guys have nowhere to go.” He says in a low quiet tone so he doesn’t frighten them.

Hank recalls that their apartment was pet friendly and he smiles as the blond one buts his head at his head, jealous that his brother was getting more pets than he was. “Alex is going to kill me, but you guys are coming home with me.” He mutters before picking them up and settling them into his jacket. Once he was sure that they were secure, he makes his way home again.

He just hopes he can convince Alex to keep them.

~*~

“Welcome home guys, this is where you are staying.” He exclaims happily before closing the door and setting them onto the floor to let them explore. Once he takes his boots off and wanders over into the kitchen to get something to drink he pauses after he opens the fridge door when he sees them stumble over to him to see if he had any food.

Right, he did not think this through.

Cats can have milk right?

Shrugging he grabs the carton of milk and pours a little into two bowls before he places them onto the floor. Hank was amused as they drink the milk greedily. “You guys are too cute.” He murmurs.

He freezes when he hears the front door open and hears Alex call out to him. “Hank I take it you are home. Where’s your car? I didn’t see it when I parked mine. Also, you can’t believe what happened at work today and what are those?” Alex stops when his eyes spots the kittens and Hank smiles innocently at him. “Hey sweetheart, now before you get mad, let me explain.” He begins and Alex gives him a look.

“I’m about to give you two minutes to explain to me why there are two cats in our apartment starting now.” He bargains and looks at his watch.

“Okay first off, they are kittens not cats. Anyway, my car wouldn’t start so I decided to walk home since it wasn’t that long of a walk when I stumbled into these little guys. They were in a box and it’s cold outside and I didn’t want them to freeze and the owner just threw them away and they looked hungry and I just couldn’t leave them out there.” He explains quickly and Alex sighs before giving them a fond look.

“Fine they stay here tonight but we are not keeping them.” Alex decides. “What? Alex come on, please? I don’t ask for anything, so please, please let me keep them.” He pleads, walking over to the blond and stopping in front of him. Alex sighs as he gives him a sad look. “Hank, babe we are at work all day, when do we have time for pets?” He asks and the brunet pulls him closer.

“Alex.” He starts before wrapping his arms around his waist and giving him a sweet kiss. “I see where your point is but they have nowhere to go.” He trails off kissing his jaw and moving over to trail kiss down his neck. The blond shivers in his hold as he hums. “Hank, if you think this is going to work, it’s not.” He says, his breath hitching and Hank hums as he kisses behind his ear, making his boyfriend melt into his arms. “Come on darling, are you really going to throw away sweet, innocent little kittens?” He asks and Alex huffs before pulling himself out of Hank’s arms.

“We are not keeping them and that is final.” He says stubbornly but Hank could see that the blond was starting to give in. “Alex why? Look-”

He pauses as he scoops the blond kitten with white paws into his arms. “This one looks just like you. Blond and he even has your sass.” He says and his boyfriend narrow his eyes at him. “How is that suppose to help convince me to keep them?” He asks and Hank winces.

Yeah that wasn’t the best idea.

“But I suppose you are right.” Alex says before petting the kitten. The kitten purrs before leaning forward towards him and Hank holds his hands out to let the kitten transfer over to his boyfriend. Alex holds him and he forces himself not to smile but Hank saw the little smile and he goes up behind up and wrap his arms around his middle, placing his chin onto Alex’s shoulder.

“We don’t have food for them.” Alex observes and Hank hides a smile. “I just gave them some milk. We can get them some food tomorrow.” He says. Alex sighs and gives the kitten a wary look. “I’m more of a dog person.” He tries in a last desperate attempt to refuse the little one. “We could always get a dog in the future.” Hank acknowledged and the blond sighs.

“Fine we can keep them, as long as I can name this one.” He decided and Hank squeezes him before turning him around and pulling him into a kiss, being careful with the kitten that was still in Alex’s arms. “Thank you.” He whispered and Alex gave him a smile. “If they make a mess in the morning, you’re cleaning it up.” He says and the brunet chuckles. “Of course sweetheart.”

Alex sighs before he places it down and scoops the brown one up. “This one looks like you, he’s even taller than the other kitten.” He coos and Hank gives him an amused smile. “You’re right, I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out.” He says surprised as he pets the brown one. They both give him a surprised look at how loud his purr was. It almost sounded like a growl. “This one is heavy, jeez you’re a beast. Beast! We should call you Beast.” Alex says and Hank chuckles. “That’s a good name.” He says and Alex nods, a happy grin on his face.

“Does that mean I name the other kitten?” He asks and Alex shakes his head. “Nope, you’re probably gonna name him something like Einstein or Rutherford.” He says before shuddering and making a face. Hank had to admit he was impressed that Alex knew who they were. “Why not, what are you going to name him?” He asks.

Alex hums as he seriously thinks of a name. “I’m naming him Havok.” He decides and Hank laughs. “Okay honey.” He says, stilling giggling before he gives him a kiss.

X-Men Remix 2017 Recs

Sorry for the wait folks! Here now are Mods’ faves from this year’s Main Collection! As always, we encourage you to read ALL the amazing Remix fics!!!

(Note: In the interest of being as fair and impartial as we can, Mods have not included any of our own Remix fics on this list :D)

every sunrise (the diamond dust remix) by dedkake [Cherik, PG13]

“You didn’t need to feel jealous. You never need to feel jealous.”

Mod Note: A beautiful exploration of Erik’s longing and jealousy during the Gay Mutant Road Trip. It’s a very calm and quiet story, yet the more realistic for it. 

Little White Horses (The Drag Him Away Remix) by arcapelago (arcanewinter) [Cherik, PG]

Raven is called away from her activist duties to visit her old home while the school is shut down in wartime.

Mod Note: This is a short fic that diverges slightly from pre-DOFP canon but it really packs a punch. The relationship between Charles and Raven is beautifully presented in all its complicated glory, with Raven torn between the person she was and the reality of who she now is. It’s wonderfully bittersweet but ends on lovely subtly hopeful note.

To Breathe Again (Impossibilities Remix) by Unforgotten [Cherik, PG13]

After Staten Island, you think you must have burned that bridge at last. After Alkali Lake, you’re even more certain. What once seemed so easy is now an impossibility, and the dream that once plagued you no longer comes.

Then Charles dies and you know: Going home was never truly impossible until now.

Mod Note: Second POV is hard to execute, but absolutely engrossing when it’s done well. Set post X3, and serving as a bridge to the DOFP dark future, this fic is breathtakingly gorgeous, telling Erik’s life time of longing, stubborness and regret over ‘going home’ - with home being Charles of course.

fly me to the moon (To Catch a Thief Remix) by ikeracity [Cherik, PG13]

Charles is a wealthy noble who moonlights as notorious intergalactic art thief X in his spare time. Erik is the bounty hunter hot on his tail (who also happens to have a massive crush on him). A fateful encounter on the luxury resort moon Prioria changes things between them forever.

Mod Note: If you enjoy space escapades, bounty hunters and cat-burglary then this fic is for you! It features an Erik who is completely head over heels for Charles (however much he tries to deny it) and the dynamic between the two is sweet, frothy and delicious. The world building in this story is absolutely fantastic and you’ll finish the fic desperate for more from this universe.

Also consider: 

The Whipping Boy by TurtleTotem  [Cherik, PG13] 

The Results of a Sleepless Night (The Gothic Romance Remix) by a_q [Hank/Alex, M]

Willing to Burn by still_lycoris [Jean/Scott, Charles/Jean/Scott, Charles/Jean, PG13]

It’s Not a Wake-Up Call (the Facetime Remix) by nextraordinaire [Erik/Moira, NC17]

You feel like home

I haven't posted all week and it sucks :( College is not fun, well kinda is, but exhausting. So I typed this cute little piece for you guys. Hope you enjoy :)

It's my work so all mistakes are mine.

__________________________________________________________________

Hank was learning so many new things about his boyfriend as he helps him unpack.

He knows Alex doesn’t talk to his parent’s much. Alex didn’t like how they were so strict with their religion. Being Catholic can be hard but his parent’s never really approved his relationship with Hank.

But now Alex was carrying last of the box’s into Hank’s, no, their home and the blond was still acting like he was visiting. “Uhh where do you want this?” He asks and Hank glances up after he opens one of the boxes, pulling the books out. “Just place it by the kitchen.” He says distractedly as he places them neatly onto their bookshelf. Alex places them down and opens the first box that was closest to him.

Hank carefully takes each book out of the book, looking them over. Some was about rocks, space, history, it was interesting how his mind works. He pauses when he sees the next book. “The holy bible, I never thought I would have one of these in my house.” He comments lifting it out and opening the bible, feeling the soft thin pages.

“Well, I am Catholic. Also mom and dad gave me this edition, I can’t throw it away. That would be wrong on so many different levels.” Alex explains as he stops what he was doing and looking nervously at his boyfriend. “Hey, I’m not going to make you give up your religion. That is the worst thing I could ask you to do. I find it interesting to learn more about.” He says and the blond looks at him in surprise. “Really? You want to learn more about my religion?”

“Well, I mean if we are going to be in this thing together, then I might as well learn everything about you. Even if that means learning a whole new religion.” He says and Alex stares at him. He doesn’t say anything and the brunet couldn’t help but feel worried. “Alex?” He asks and hurries over to him. “My parent’s were wrong.” He whispers and Hank smiles, knowing what he was referring to.

“Yeah they were. Now come on, let’s finish getting your stuff into our home.” He says and kisses him quickly. “Right our home.” He says and the brunet smiles. “Yeah, then we can try to get back into your parents good graces.” He says and Alex snorts. “Right, once they get over the fact that we are living together without being married.” He grumbles and Hank snorts. “Well, we can at least try.” He says fondly.

Alex smiles softly before taking the bible out of his hand and placing it onto the bookshelf. “You know, you don’t have to get a fancy apartment to make me happy.” He says and Hank shrugs. “I want what is the best for us. Also Charles bought it and gave it to me.” He says and the blond raises an eyebrow at him.

“Well either way, you are my home.” He says as he wraps his arms around the brunet’s neck and giving him a kiss. Hank loves the sound of that. “Welcome home love.” He whispers that causes the other male to chuckle. “You just couldn’t resist could you?” He asks and Hank shrugs. “Nah I really couldn’t.” He jokes.

Pairing(s): Cherik, Alex/Hank, Raven/Sean Word Count: 57k Rating: PG-13

Modern-Day High School AU. It’s not until Hank realises half the class are glancing towards the back of the classroom with something like nerves and something like schadenfreude that he finds out Alex Summers is back.

Fighting Acceptance Not all of Hank's changes are so obvious, and he has problems adjusting. Alex finally gets through to him.

If You Liked The Book, You'll Hate The Movie Modern-Day High School AU. It’s not until Hank realises half the class are glancing towards the back of the classroom with something like nerves and something like schadenfreude that he finds out Alex Summers is back.

Runs in the Family Alex knew his own reputation. Hell, he'd started some of his own reputation, because it kept some of the smarter thugs off his back. Everyone knew Alex's reputation. There was no way Hank didn't know his reputation, but he'd brought Alex into a house with some really expensive things and a lot of innocent little kids and his too-friendly, too-harmless dad. But clearly Hank hadn't told his family anything about Alex, just like he hadn't told Alex anything about his family. At least, not about the brain-breaking parts of his family. "I didn't know where to start," Hank said, for the dozenth time. -- MPreg

This is Only Now (Where Do We Go From Here} Modern AU, where an older Alex (in his mid twenties?) somehow figures out/receives the news that, no, his younger brother didn't die in the crash like he'd been told, and then sets out to find him. The catch is, Scott's been adopted and adores his 'dad', who is incidentally the adorkable Hank McCoy.

This Will Be Hank McCoy is in love with the perfect woman. One day, he's certain, they will fall in love and be married. It would be a grand plan if they'd ever met. When she falls into a coma, Hank tries to look after her and is thrown into the topsy-turvey world of her family. And he can't help but be drawn to her rude and infuriating foster brother Alex.

Alex/Hank Alex really likes the fur.
