Subject: The Godless Among Them, by Dyce (PG-13)
Hi there, ladies and gents. I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trollprincess, and I'll be handling the X-Men Movieverse recs for July. I tend to have a soft spot for the more humorous fics and the students at the school, so this month you're going to see mostly comedy and recs with the kids.
Fandom: X-MEN MOVIEVERSE
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: Not that I can find.
Author Website: Dyce's Corner
Why this must be read: When I hit the memories and couldn't find this story (and its equally entertaining sequel, Slavery, Deliverance, and Faith), it was one of the main reasons I signed up to rec the Movieverse for July. The Godless Among Them features quite possibly my favorite original character, Annie Creed, Sabretooth's daughter and the poster child for ADD. This is one of those stories I go back every once in a while and reread, both for the quality comedy and the spot-on characterization.
The shouter was a thin, unremarkable looking man...well, unremarkable except for the machine gun. That was a real attention-getter. "I AM ANGRY!" he screamed. "AND I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHY! I'M ANGRY BECAUSE PEOPLE, ORDINARY PEOPLE LIKE YOU, ARE KILLING AND DESTROYING A PEACEFUL AND GENTLE SPECIES! GORILLAS ARE PEOPLE TOO, AND--"
There was a sound entirely unlike "bam" or "pow."
The man sighed softly, his eyes rolled up in his head, and he tumbled to the floor. That left Annie standing behind him with an interested look on her face, and John holding the machine gun. "Hey, Mr. Summers, look!" he said proudly.
"John, put that down!" Scott said automatically. "How many times do I have to tell you kids not to touch automatic weaponry?"
John sighed heavily and laid the gun carefully on the floor. "You never let us have any fun," he said reproachfully.
