Hank’s nineteen and Bobby is fifteen. So, you know, warning for underage sex.

Professor Xavier sits behind the desk, giving John the hairy eyeball the second he comes in the door. John sticks his hands in his pockets and stares back, but there’s no way to out-eyeball the Professor. No way. It’s like trying to outstare a statue. Of a cat.

Toad/m.
Okay, I could have sworn I recommended this ages ago. Very, very good. Sorry, ‘good’ seems to be the best I can do in terms of description today. Oh, there’s stuff about Toad’s tongue that you won’t want to miss.
There’s DVD-style commentary by the author, too.

Johnny, post-X2.
John had felt like he was always saying the wrong thing in the Professor’s classes–things that would make the rest of the class look at him funny and the Professor himself mutter “Hmm” and then hastily change the subject. To think he might be able to get the right answer…that was new.

All Johnny can be is himself.
He’d been named for Saint John, and had never had the chance to ask which Saint John that might have been. The one who wrote the book of Revelation and rained deadly fire down on 200 men in the temple of Artemis, or the one who was the patron saint of firefighters? Or another entirely, with no ironic significance behind the name?

Multi-part series. I can’t believe this wasn’t the first thing I rec’d in this fandom. I’ve loved it for ages; it makes me wish there was more Toadfic out there. The link is actually to the warning page; the story is on Siubhan’s x-men fanfic page.

After Johnny comes back.
Bobby had learned that sleeping was a luxury, not a necessity, and he closed his eyes only to make his hearing sharper. Every creak was Johnny’s foot on the floorboards before he disappeared again, and every snuffled noise was St. John not saying goodbye.
In the morning, Bobby awoke first, opening his eyes only to make sure that St. John was still in his bed and hadn’t left in the middle of the night. He ignored the circles under his eyes and the worried looks of people who didn’t understand.
This was Bobby’s second chance. He wasn’t expecting a third.
There are a few more good X-Men stories over at zahra’s site, archived under ‘miscellaneous’. I really like the look of her site, too.

The series that made St. John/Bobby my OTP. It’s a fairly long series of (short) stories. Told from John’s perspective and he’s almost—but not quite—fifth business in the drama of Rogue’s life.

Jubilee gets a GTKY forward and passes it around the school. Unsurprisingly, my faves are St. John and Bobby–although I laughed at a lot of the other stuff, too.
[Charles Xavier] OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT: Logan
[Logan] OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT: scooter, cause he’s a prick who would think it’s beneath him
[Scott] OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT: Well, I’d day Logan, but he was the one who sent to me… probably just trying to show me up, or show off that he can manage to figure out a computer…
[St. John] DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE?. Shit yes! Have you SEEN Bobby drive? I rest my case. Sheesh.
SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: Logan has a weird sense of humor[Bobby] DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE?. Love it. Johnny has issues, but he can stick it up his ass. I can drive damn well.
[Remy] WHAT’S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Dogs Playin’ Poker…Bobby, he think he funny
