fandom: oh Ultimate X-Men I swore I'd never love you, but I do

I've found two new OTPs, which is strange, because really, I think I've found my new favorite character and the two people I love seeing him paired with. Thank you, Comica Obscura for feeding my love and inspiring it. I now have to go in search of the fandom itself, because I want more, more, MORE!

Oh, Piotr(Peter)(Colossus). You many-named steel man of angst and love. I'm all over Piotr/Logan and Piotr/Jean-Paul now. Especially the former, because oh, man, so much potential.

Anyone know of any good stories or links? I'm desperate for more.

omg Piotr is friggin' hawt. XD I thought I was the only one who thought so.

My favorite mutant happens to be Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver) though. Or his father Magneto. I dunno. I can't choose.

Ultimate X-Men is the shit.

I seem to recall I made a drabble promise...

Piotr's seen it - every time Logan's claws slide through his flesh, Logan bleeds.

Logan bleeds a lot, of course, more than any of them. He pops bullets out of his skull and charges through falling masonry and stands down knife charges that would kill a normal man, and he lives. But he bleeds.

Piotr has faced bullets and stones and blade, too. Secure in his metal shell, they never touched him. He felt the distant impact, sometimes, on the very edges of his skin.

Piotr wonders if Logan's recklessness is inspired by the uncanny magic of his healing, or if the speed with which his bones knit and flesh seals are somehow a safeguard against his wild heart. Perhaps that's the true evolution of their kind; body finally rising to meet the enormous perils of their world, Logan's body jumping forward to keep pace with his unopposable lust for danger.

There isn't much in the world that could make Piotr bleed, but the claws that slice out of Logan's hands can do it. He's seen it, in training, in the danger room. In his dreams.

Piotr wakes, one early morning after Logan's departure, and finds he has bitten the inside of his mouth while he slept. The wound is small, and hidden from the others, but all day he tastes it, the metallic salt of blood.
