Home from the Hill by Ramos (R)

[aproposofsnow.livejournal.com]

Hi, y’all! I’ll be drunk driving your X-Men fandoms this month. I'll tell you right off that I'll be rec-ing mainly Jubilee-focused fic. Now before y'all start gagging, I promise that there really are some good ones out there if you can stomach digging through the ickosity. Lucky for y'all, I can.


Fandom: X-MEN COMICVERSE
Pairing: A teensy bit of Wolverine/Jubilee with a kind of weird smattering of Bishop/Jubilee.
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: N/A
Why this must be read:

I’m totally stunned that this hasn’t been thrown into the mix before. It's one of my very favorite fics within the fandom. A title taken from one of my favorite poems? Check. Good characterization? Check. Engaging plot? Check. Decent, though occasionally uneven writing? Check. Overall, Home from the Hill is a fun, long-format, action-adventure story. Enjoy!



Jubilee hesitated, then raised her chin. “Because. If it comes down to it, you’ll hesitate to kill. And I won’t.”

Shocked silence fell in the room.

“I can’t believe you just said that,” Scott murmured.

“Don’t get me wrong, Cyclops. I still respect the dream. I still believe that life is sacred, that X-men are not supposed to kill. But when it comes down to them or me, in a combat situation, I pick me. I chose me and mine over some asshole who’s trying to blow my head off.”



I'm going to include two links to this story. I know some people despise fanfiction.net. I find the white text on black background at The Wolverine and Jubilee Page super-hard to read. It's good to have options.
