Chele Kodesh by Chloe PG
Fandom: X-Men Movieverse
Pairing: Iceman/Pyro, Magneto/Pyro
Author on LJ: suckerilove
Why this must be read:
Magneto/Pyro has a bit squick factor for alot of people. It's understandable given obvious age and power dynamics. Those are some of the same factors that make it an interesting pairing to read and write if done carefully keeping proper characterizations in mind. That is the case with this story. Characterization here is done wonderfully and the dynamics. I particularly like parallels between Bobby/John and Charles/Erik (that is hinted at).
Family, happiness, and companionships come in all kinds of ways.
An excerpt.
On Sunday nights, if it was warm enough, the three of them would sit outside at the wrought iron table in the garden and have dinner. Magneto would talk about the news and his plans for the future and he would tell John stories. Mystique would interject occasionally. Together they were wickedly funny and John was happy— happy leading the quiet life of a villain, happy dining in a well-kept garden, and happy playing house with a shape shifter and a sociopath.
