Some Rain Must Fall + series by Diamonde (NC-17)

Fandom: X-MEN COMICVERSE
Pairing: Alex Summers (Havok)/Sam Guthrie (Cannonball)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] diamonde
Author Website: Peeing in the Jean Pool
Why this must be read:

After coming back from an alternate universe (as you do), Alex decides to quit being a superhero and go back to geology, then he skips out to go walking in the rain. Sam follows him to have a quiet chat about his rather abrupt decision. Sex ensues.

That's basically the story, which Diamonde has labelled a PWP, but it's also, besides from being hilarious and cute on it's own, the first story in a series which takes Sam and Alex from sex to relationship.

Of course, whatwith Alex being a Summers and Sam remaining in X-Force, things are far from easy.


excerpt from Some Rain Must Fall

Alex wasn't very hard to find. He'd followed one of the smaller trails quite obviously and was still on it, getting very wet with every appearance of enjoyment. Didn't seem to mind company, either. "I feel great," he declared seriously.

"Ah feel kinda damp, but..." Sam smiled to show the joke.

"I don't mean that. I mean, I just told them all that I'm quitting, so that's it. All out in the open and I can go do things I want to do, not things I should do." He sighed. "I can't wait to find out what that feels like again." He spun, drops flying off his arms and hair even as more fell. "Man, I feel like a teenager again. But without the angst."

"A Summers without angst?"

"I know. Bad Summers, no cookie." He paused. "Hey, if I get my own normal job I can buy my own normal cookies and reward myself for not angsting. Positive reinforcement."

Sam couldn't help grinning a little. "Could get Pavlovian, though... feel happy and suddenly have an overwhelming desire t' eat. Opposite comfort-eating."

"True. Maybe I'll just not angst and eat cookies whenever I feel like it anyway."
