Blackout by Jamie (PG-13)

Okay, fellow crack fiends, this is my last one for the month. It's a fic featuring New Year's Eve, appropriately enough. I hope you've had a good time; I've had a blast driving the van. Happy New Year!

Fandom: X-MEN MOVIEVERSE
Pairing: Wolverine/Rogue
Author on LJ: I don't know
Author Website: The Nightowl
Why this must be read: Rogue joins the X-Men, but they run into trouble when a new mutant shows up who isn't exactly subtle or peaceful. It all comes to a head on New Year's Eve on a rooftop, with an awesome confession and surprising consequences. Plus, there's a hysterically funny recounting of the events via Logan at the X-Men debriefing. Logan's swearing and Scott's laughing had me snickering; the characterizations are believable and fun.

Despite the fact that it was mid-November, the temperature was pretty pleasant, and Logan and I settled on the bench with our hot chocolate, my blanket tucked around us. I propped my feet up on a giant flower pot and sipped my drink.

Logan quirked an eyebrow at my slippers. "Cute," he said snidely.

"Do not mock the elephant slippers," I warned. "I've been practicing hand-to-hand combat, and I might have to kick your ass."

He smirked. "That'll be the day."

"Well, everything I know I learned from you."

"Hmmm?"

"You know, when you touched me, I got a big dose of Logan up here." I touched my head, and he nodded. "A lot of it faded. But on my first day of physical training, these ... instincts were just there. I knew when to hit and where. How hard. When to duck. ... Everything."

"My instincts."

I nodded. "Had to be. I never fought a day in my life. 'Less you count the time I pounded Billy Douglas on the playground in second grade. I got sooooo grounded for that." I batted my eyelashes at him. "Nice young southern ladies do not use physical violence."

Logan grinned. "I can't wait to see you in action."

"I'm telling you, I kick ass," I said smugly. "All over the place."

Excellent story, I read it while it was being written. It's just as good now as it was then.
