Yuletide wrap up + Trope Bingo

[tangeriner]

Thanks again to NicoleAnell for the lovely Cargo fic, Hold On To This Lullaby! Love love love it! \o/

For Yuletide, I wrote for arysteia:

Smile (9633 words) by Tangerine
Fandom: X-Factor (Comics), X-Force (Comics)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Julio Richter/Shatterstar
Additional Tags: First Time, Mexico, Pining
Summary: It takes fifty-six hours on a Greyhound bus to get from Raleigh to Guadalajara.

I do actually offer other fandoms than X-Factor, I swear! Writing this fic gave me a chance to actually go back and re-read the heart-breaker issues (i.e. the issues of X-Force where Rictor and Shatterstar got written out and I basically gave up reading comics for five years). Fun things I got to research for this story: transportation options in Guadalajara, concussions, Greyhound schedules, and Beverley Hills 90210.

Well, I guess that is workable. That last horizontal line definitely gets the bunnies hopping.

Happy New Year to everyone!
