Closer by Penknife ( R)

Fandom: X-MEN MOVIEVERSE
Pairing: Jean/Scott, with Charles/Erik in the background
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] penknife

Why this must be read:

This short piece by [livejournal.com profile] penknife, which isn't erotica in the conventional sense, is nonetheless one of the sexiest fics I've ever read. The story asks "how close is too close?," exploring the irony that Jean and Scott's famous psychic bond can actually get in the way of intimacy. This is the story that made me fall in love with Scott and Jean as a pairing. Jean's interaction with Charles is equally striking, as it shows the sense of more-than-friendship but not-exactly-family that runs through so many relationships among the X-team.

I can't pull a quote from this story, or I'd be quoting the whole thing, so here's the opening:



Jean wishes sometimes that she could just have sex with Scott without having him in her head. She strokes her fingers down his bare stomach, and then lower, and the way that feels to him makes her arch her hips and sigh. She pulls away and leans back on the bed, but she isn't sure if it feels good to her when he climbs on top or if it just feels good to him.

"If you want me to stop--" he says, freezing.
