Come On Up, Lay Your Hands In Mine by Misachan (Mature)
Fandom: X-MEN MOVIE!VERSE
Pairing: Pyro/Bobby/Rogue
Length: 13k+

Why this must be read:
It's been a few years since I first read this fic but it still remains uncontested, one of the BEST post-apocolytic stories I've ever had the pleasure to read. Set post X-Men: The Last Stand, the world has gone to shit following Phoenix's rampage. Rogue (who for the sake of this fic, didn't get the Cure and instead went to fight) and Bobby miraculously escape the destruction with the unintentional help of Pyro and the three of them are left in a seemingly empty world.
This fic is disturbing in its imagery without being overly so. The characterization is phenomenal and old hurts and pent up emotions just grip you because the author makes it clear that these characters are TEENS playing at being soldier. They have opinions and they think what they were doing was ultimately right and made sense but they were also friends once upon a time. In a world where they're stumbling around without anyone but each other, names become powerful things and the author devestatingly depicts the meaning of the transition of what they call each other.
Oh, and the smut it pretty hot (and cold) too.
