Sure, I could write a whole essay about the characters and the plot. Earlier movies certainly left slash possibilities open - lots of room for writers to play.

But why bother when the movies does it for you? We gleefully made plans to see this movie after seeing the trailers which seemed promisingly X/Magneto slashy. Now usually that's a prelude to disappointment (I'm looking at you, Sherlock Holmes).

In this case, the slash was underhyped and overdelivered. Our ribs are sore from elbowing each other, and there was real danger of exploding from repressed squeals of joy.

Not only do we get tender bonding moments and meaningful eye contact, we get a plethora of phallic symbols throughout the movie.

Thank you Hollywood. Now if you could just make sure the next Star Trek movie includes some serious CP/ZQ fan service, my faith in humanity will be utterly restored.

Title: I got you - a Logurt manifesto.
Author:

roily_riddles
Fandom: Logan/Kurt aka Wolverine/Nightcrawler aka "Logurt".
Word count: 3585-ish
Spoilers: Some regarding the outcome of the Mutant Massacre, the outcome of Wolverine #6 by Greg Rucka and some from the last storyline of Nightcrawler's late solo series by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
Notes: This will primarily be a manifesto for the friendship these two share, as that is the fundamental reason for why I ship them. There are scans a-plenty ahead, so dial-uppers might want to tread carefully.

( Onward with the manifesto. )

Welcome to a quick rundown of one of the smaller subgroups in a freakishly intermingled knot that is X-Men comics and movie canon. If you're new, please take a deep breath and try not to panic. If you're really new, please go camp in front of the graphic novel section at your local Borders/Barnes&Noble/Walden/local bookstore and dig out the X-Men graphic novels that were published before 2000. Or, if you don't want to do that, read the character summaries below and go rent X-Men and X2.
