Faux Pas by Diamonde (Adult)

Fandom: X-MEN COMICVERSE
Pairing: Gambit/Courier
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] diamonde
Author Website: Er, well, there's Peeing in the Jean Pool, but this story isn't there.
Why this must be read:
Courier, AKA Jacob Gavin, was Remy's unwilling sidekick-of-sorts in the now-defunct Gambit book. (Marvel: "We're streamlining so we can focus on all the core books. For about five minutes. Then we'll start again with the squillions of solo books and unnecessary limited series, but by then it'll be too late for this book! Bwahahaha!") Remy and Jake bickered and pushed buttons and generally complained about each other, and any slasher knows that means they were really secretly in love.

Jake is a metamorph, but his mutation isn't quite the same as the more famililar Mystique's. Jake has total and complete control over every cell in his body, to the point where he can grow back body parts, and even manipulate cells in said detached body parts from a distance. (Which Gambit proved to all of us by cutting off Jake's finger and giving it to Sinister. It'strueIswear!) Another noted difference is that it takes Jake several hours to complete a drastic change, such as turning himself into a woman.

A woman. Funny I should mention that...

See, Jake and Gambit went back in time, got all mixed up with Sinister, Jake ended up back in the present as a woman, and he had a little trouble changing back to himself and staying that way.

Let the wacky hijinks ensue!

Followed by sex, both hetero and homo. Okay, we don't know if they did it (either it), but Gambit did kiss Jake while Jake was in female form, and generally spent lots of time leering at him/her. Which pissed Jake off.

God, they were cute. So. Cute.

A more detailed, highly amusing, and much naughtier version of post-time travel events can be found in Diamonde's story, and it's worth a read just to laugh at and sympathize with poor Jake as he deals with life in a female body. Remy's guilt over the situation, and his attempts to genuinely help Jake despite the fact that he's often baffled and amused by Courier's behavior, give the story a sweet feel that balances the humor nicely.

Dia does indeed have an LJ - [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], strangely enough. ;)

And yes, she does indeed rock.
