You know me too well. Yeah. Not so much.

The series as a whole is rated R for graphic sex, occasional violence, and other fun stuff. It should probably be rated NC-17, but I think that's the dumbest rating in the world. I mean, wasn't that what R was supposed to be for? C'mon.

ANYWAY. This series is only loosely based on cannon. Why?

1. Technically they were never a couple.

2. My X-Force comics are in California, and I'm in Canada. Therefore, I'm writing this off memory. Not the greatest for remembering facts. Therefore, a lot of facts have changed and a lot of other things I'm just making up. If you want, you can tell me where I messed up and I'll fix it if I can. Even better, you can offer to beta-read, and we'll fix it before it hits the 'public.' If you don't want to do either of those, then you can just flow with it. Sounds good? I thought so.

Stories! (In the order they should be read) Touching Ric swears Shatterstar took advantage. Shatterstar swears he didn't. "I love clubbing." "Why?" Why. Now that was a good question. "I like dancing," he said, slowly. The women were nice, although that wasn't the biggest draw. He liked seeing 'Star in something other than combat gear. Yes. That was a safe enough thought. He looked down again. Then back up at Shatterstar. "I like your pants." Touching Can't Hurt Ric has Issues. Shatterstar helps deal with them in that, 'Yes, I'm an alien from another planet who killed people to survive. Why?' way. Rictor glared at the card, the back of it filled with Sam's scrawl. "You want me to talk to a shrink? What for?" Sam twiddled the card. "Ric--ya'll were tortured." Leave it to Sam to be blunt and say what most people wouldn't. "I think I’m dealing just fine, thanks." "I agree," Sam said. It sounded casual. Rictor doubted it was. That card was still hanging there, between them. The Therapy Thing Ric learns to cope. Shatty doesn't. Lorenz nodded. Interesting. "Tell me about your relationship with Julio." "We are friends. And we have sex. I enjoy the sex." Lorenz blinked. Shatterstar smiled guilelessly.

Swords and Bandanas (AKA, About Da Boys)

More Fun Stuff Ah, pages. Woo! The Rictor and Shatterstar page by Tangerine (highly recommended, even though it's kinda defunct) X_Slash Community, on Livejournal where there are more Ric and Shatty lovers. Woo!

Other Ric and Shatty fics that I wrote! And if all this isn't enough, some fics in my lair about da boys that have little or nothing to do with this particular 'world' I've put them in, but are still fics. Woo! I'll Be There For You A totally slash-less story about Ric and Shatty, back before they were friends. Fluff. Julio looked back, too. They sat. "Well," he said finally, "if we're going to be friends, you could call me Julio." "Why would I do that?" Shatterstar asked. Julio frowned. "Because it's my name." "I thought Rictor was your name." "My name's Julio Richter," he said, trying not to get exasperated. "And my codename's Rictor. But friends usually call each other by their first names." "Oh." Shatterstar looked at him again. "Then you may call me Shatterstar, Julio." Julio blinked. Shatterstar looked back at the television. Well, he was trying. Had to give the guy credit for something, Julio supposed. And The World Trembled Not a pretty story about Rictor's time with the Right. PG-13, maybe R for child abuse. His mind was fuzzy when he woke. His tongue was thick. It was dark; darker than he'd ever seen it. Not even the stars could lighten it up. Then he remembered the police, and realized he must be in jail. He couldn't stop the shaking, but at least this time it was only him, not the world, that trembled. That was when he realized his arms were bound. They didn't tie you up in jail. He was sure of it. Gladiator When Colossus is captured, he makes an unusual ally. Much "I really can't believe this is happening" ensues for our poor Russian. [Ultimate X-Men] Someone threw himself into the arena. Three men jumped after him, wrestled him to the ground, and hauled him out a door in the side Peter hadn't even seen. It was then that Peter realized what it was the crowd was chanting. Shatterstar. Shatterstar. Shatterstar. There will be more. This I promise. :D
