These stories can only be purchased in fanzines. Where I have web or email addresses for the zine editors, I will give those in addition to the snail addresses.
All the stories I have ever found about X-Men in zines have been in multimedia zines. No, that doesn't mean they're on CD-ROM; it means they have multiple fandoms. So in general you'll pay between $12 and $20 for a zine that contains only one or two X-Men stories. For that reason, I list what other fandoms are covered by that zine, and how many pages of the zine are dedicated to the stories I'm talking about.
You should also know that "slash fic" is a term meaning stories where two characters have a homosexual relationship. The characters do not need to be gay in canon for people to write slash about them. In fact, usually they're not. I list slash stories as well as gen (non-erotic) and het (heterosexual erotica; so far I haven't found any Magneto het in zines) on this page; if you're a mature person, you'll know whether you would enjoy such a story or not, and you won't go to all the work to order the zine if I tell you it's slash and you don't like slash.

The Celestial Toybox zines are available from:
Julie Fitch
1501 Genesee Rd.
South Euclid, OH 44121
Sadly, Celestial Toybox 8 is out of print, but maybe if enough people write Julie, she'll reprint it. The zines contain a mix of X-Files, Star Trek (all versions), Blake's 7, Doctor Who, and many other fandoms. There are also several stories which feature Dr. Doom and/or Cannonball, not listed here. Write Julie for a catalog.
Slash Zines:
"The Hellfire Club": Elizabeth Holden. Adult, m/m. Magneto/Cannonball. (Note that Cannonball is explicitly stated to be over 18.) 15 pg (of 80-pg zine.)
The rest of the New Mutants have gone out, but Sam remained behind to finish homework, and was therefore invited by Magneto to attend a Hellfire Club function with him to better understand their "allies". Despite what sounds like an exploitative setup, I found this story fairly well-done and tasteful if you're a fan of slash fic.
Available in: The Summer I Turned Frisky: a multimedia slash zine, pub. 1997.

Almost Foolproof Press

afpress@aol.com
A small, cheap zine. Also contains Private Eye, Rawhide, Seaquest, Zorro.
"Personal Magnetism" and "Magnetic Personality": Elizabeth Holden. Adult, m/m. Magneto/Gambit. (The two stories depict the same encounter from each character's POV.) 17 pages total.
Sometime after the fall of Avalon, Gambit hunts down Magneto to talk to him. The conversation gets rather more interesting than either expected... Again, most slash fans should enjoy this story, but I would not recommend to people who aren't into slash.
