The Accountancy Blues by Amanda Sichter (G)
Hey, I'm Sascha, and I'll be doing the X-Men comicbook recommendations for June. Mostly it'll be slash, but there'll also be some gen pieces. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do.

Why this must be read: This fic is hilarious, that's my main reason. The characters are also well written, and I have no problems believing they would do exactly this... If they were ever audited.
Canon fact: Bobby Drake aka Iceman is actually a CPA. No, really.
'Felicitations on this fabulous morning, my fine friend,' he said. 'What piece of mischief has perchance caused thy jowls to droop in unhappiness this day?'
'Huh?' asked Bobby, clearly not at his best. 'Oh.' He waved a letter at Hank. 'My worst nightmare,' he declared dramatically.
'The Spice Girls have decided to re-form?' asked Hank. 'Or Angelina Jolie has declared her intention of pursuing a life of chastity?'
'Much, much worse than that,' moaned Bobby. He waved the letter again. 'Read it,' he said, clearly unable to articulate the tragic news.
Hank snaffled the waggling letter deftly from Bobby's fingers and quickly scanned it. 'Oh,' he said. 'The IRS want to do an audit on the school's books. That will be - inconvenient.'
'Inconvenient?' Bobby said hoarsely and sank into a chair, his head in his hands. He moaned for a few moments and then pulled himself together. 'They want records, Hank. They want *records*!'
'Well, we have records.' He looked at Bobby's face. 'Don't we?' said Hank, rather timidly.
'You remember all those times the Mansion got destroyed? Like five or six times in the last few years? Where do you think the records were?' He buried his face in his hands again and started moaning again. 'I know I shouldn't have let the Professor persuade me that we could claim the cost of re-building the mansion each time. I know I should have kept the records at the bank. I couldn't sleep. Every April, I couldn't sleep. All sweaty with the fear and the terror. They're going to ruin me. They'll disbar me. Ban me. They'll take away my license. They'll take away my degree. They'll take away my *birthday*.'
