So immediately Bobby would be like NO THIS IS TERRIBLE and Akihiro would be like "Yesssss I'm gonna take all my clothes off and then cause a Weather Event."

But actually I feel like Bobby's powers are probably much harder to use than Akihiro's? Like Bobby in Akihiro's body basically just needs to learn to press one button on the controller for the claws, leave the pheromones alone, and the healing and senses are automatic. Maybe things are a little loud and stinky for a bit but we're not talking Daredevil or Kryptonian level sensory disruption here.

Sometimes being a little shameless can go a long way. Sneaking around outside the Xavier mansion has its benefits, Bobby and Akihiro are certainly reaping them ;)

A spicy art commission I got done by the ever talented LyttaV!

INGLORIOUS X-FORCE #7

TEAMWORK MAKES THE NIGHTMARES WORK! CABLE and co. pay the price for a risky move against the MUTANT LIBERATION FRONT, while DOMINO’s unlucky memory loss sends her on a new mission. But could these two clues share more than meets the eye?

Chapter 24 of the String of Fate sequel, where I give my own spin to the Fall of Krakoa, is now available to read on AO3 ^-^

This story is the third in a series where I’ve been dealing with Akihiro’s past trauma, but it should be easy to follow even if you never read the first two works. You’ll miss critical character development, of course, but I’ve been told you can follow along.

If you like the chapter and you are enjoying the story, please think about leaving a comment. Authors write for themselves, yes, but also to form a connection with readers, to create a community. To share the love for a character. To have a conversation with you. Thank you ^-^

It read like a goodbye, the letter that Akihiro had received when Johnny arrived on Earth to attend Cyclops’ trial. It read like a maudlin mess, and a heartfelt declaration of love, and a way to reassure Akihiro and himself, to work out his feelings of anticipation for the battles to come. To cover all the bases, before the war. Because anything could happen, Johnny wrote. But still, he swore, he would come back to Akihiro. Akihiro believed it.
