This was wonderful! I love reading your stories, because I never know what it's going to be. There's always some sort of angst, but the ending can be bitter, happy, harsh, depressing, brilliant, delightful--and sometimes more than one of those at the same time. I don't know how you do it, but your writing's always creative and extraordinary!

Hi,

Fantastic series...their world was so unique, engrossing and I enjoyed every second of their journey. I loved everything, from the moment they met, when she was a child...to their ensuing adventures, the end, and their new beginning.
-I like this new, different Logan...he's usually portrayed as kinda promiscuous..so it was an interesting and neat twist about how Marie was the only one he was with.
-I usually stay away from dark endings, esp. when one or both of them end up gone...but, this is the first one where I was totally okay when they died. I think it was b/c they went through so much...a lot of it together..and their love and devotion stayed true and they never gave up on each other. It wasn't an easy love, and they were sure put through the wringer, but it was always felt. So, I thought they had a fitting end..and liked that it was in each other's arms. That said...I was thrilled that they got a chance at a new beginning cause it's always nice reading about second chances, even if it's for a fictional couple.
Thank you so much...it was truly a pleasure to read.

Man.. Why can't we all have rides like that? I alway wanted to have a few spare flamethrowers around, not to mention a machine gun just in case those don't work.. I love all the awsome vehicles that you have plans for XD

I'm liking this. It's a little different.

Haha I love Vasquez's ultimatum.

I wonder if that made a small part of Marie happy.

Vasquez better watch herself...

It was great to read this story again!

I'm curious to see what's going to happen to Marie's alien baby.

Author's Response: Logan is the father of Marie's baby. And yeah, I think Vasquez is getting a tad bit too comfy with the commander. I have a feeling that Marie is going to raise hell soon.

Oh OUCH!
Talk about a come back. And what a painful one. *pets Logan and gives him some comfort whiskey*

And now he's going to become the daddy of an alien. *blinks* As long as it doesn't look like a cross between Logan and say...Gollum, it should be alright. That reminds me, I was thinking that if they are lucky they won't meet with a Ripley clone alike woman. (that was my other favorite Alien movie *g*)

Author's Response: My favorite was the second one. I hated the third part from the beginning when it came clear that Hicks and Newt were dead. Don't give Logie whiskey. He took long enough vacation from this one. Lets keep him sober so I can torture him some more. Or not. We'll see what'll happen. :)

he felt part of it sliding in to his mouth, down to his throat, throbbing and dribbling something warm and sticky, bony legs wrapping around his head, locking in to place. EWWWWW!!! This is much grosser than watching it in Alien. I think it was the sticky dribbling, personally.

Logan seems like he still doesn't know how to tell Marie that he doesn't want their child - or *that* child, anyway. I wonder if he realizes that if he had sex with her that day, he could at least persuade himself that it was his, that it had come from him, if that's what he needed. But he's still dealing with too much at the moment: betrayal by the army, by civilization, AGAIN, a new deadly enemy, a deadly injured comrade, and Marie in the desert. So he hasn't had much time to think, and maybe he would always reject that idea anyway. Logan hasn't had many certainties in life - not even, really, Marie. They only really trusted each other recently. So I think he needs to tell her. Maybe, instead, there are things he's scared that she will tell him.

It's clear that Marie is more important than Vasquez to him - loved his outrage over Marie's being bitten. But my favorite was the way he asked to just hold her. I can understand wanting to replace the lab's touch with his.

BUT NOW, you have made him an incubator for a huge acid-for-blood, bony space/sea slug!!!! *evil cackle* Man, I guess I'll just have to hold on to my hat and wait and see for future plot developments. It's never what I expect.

Author's Response: I think he doesn't want children. At all. He's afraid that they'd be used just like he and Marie have been used.

What. the. hell?!

hahahahaha!! I should have known I'd come back and Ara's story would bear no resemblance to what had gone before. New bad guys. More blood and guts, very visceral, visual writing. *feels sick* You always manage to make these scenes so real to me. Am soooo glad I am not Logan.

And yet - there's the thread in there that hints at the continuing storyline. I feel so bad for Marie. And Logan. Yet again, he wasn't really 'there' when it happened, and it's conception was a violation - for both. So I was shocked but I can understand this: "How to explain her why he wasn’t going to be able to tolerate the small, fragile life she was carrying in her womb". And yet I wonder - if that's *really* what will happen next?

Author's Response: Logie wanted a little bloodplay and action. It's hard to say no when he keeps threatening to gut my cat if I don't write what he asks for. Well, it has been quite a while. They have gotten yet to another point in their lives. Truth to be told, *I* have no idea of what's going to happen next. Logie decided to take some time off from this one, not for long, and I have something new under my pen (or keyboard?) right now. Short story which I'm planning to finish before I continue this one. New chappies to the War I have probably at the end of this week.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! *runs screaming from the cliffhanger*

ho li #$%^!

I really love this story and the one before it. It's a great series. The only thing I would recommend is to stop using Woman when refering to different characters because it makes it difficult to follow, especially when both characters are female.
