The Wolverine & Rogue Fanfiction Archive
Barely Legal Since 2000
Oh!! I´m loving this fanfic!
The characters are totally real. Normally people change something and they´re out-of-character. But here they´re the Marie and Logan from the movie, and I love that.
The plot is interesting, and I´m truly intrigued by the first part and how they came to that. Very very good job!! I will keep reading and reviewing!!
Author's Response: Ohmygod! Thank you so much. I love when people think I do the characters right. It makes my day. I hope you continue to enjoy/review.
please?
Author's Response: Sorry! :-) When it's done, it's done.
is there gonna be a sequel?
Author's Response: No.
P.S. Re-read this (as I usually do with your fics) & found this: "He's like the activities director on a cruise ship. He's always, you know...ready. I don't think he even sleeps." Oh man did I laugh like a crazy person. Cruises have never appealed to me until now. That would be the best vacation ever.
I'm just going to go entertain that thought in my brain for a bit.
Author's Response: Lmao! Thanks. (To be perfectly honest, Ive never been on a cruise.) And Im on my way to start typing up the next story. :~) ;~)
No. No. It can't be over. Im going to cry. No. I'm going to Bawl. This is one of the greatest stories ever. It's perfect. Perfect ending. This needs to be made into a movie. I would watch it always. Oh god, please write a new story soon!
Author's Response: Lol!! >hands tissue box, hugs< Thank you, Im so glad you enjoyed it...Im halfway done with the first chapter of my next story. It should be up by/before Saturday. :~)
Author's Response: Lol!! >hands tissue box, hugs< Thank you, Im so glad you enjoyed it...Im halfway done with the first chapter of my next story. It should be up by/before Saturday. :~)
Ahhhhhh! *brain explodes*. This can't be the end! Even though I love me some overt Rogan shippery-happily-ever-after-with-kittens-on-top-ness, I this this ending is appropriate and fitting. This was so heartbreaking overall, literally - this story got some pretty visceral reactions out of me. I cannot imagine how you cranked this one out & finished it! I'm glad you left it a little open ended for us hoping that these two make it back to each other :)
Go on & take your very well deserved break, but please don't leave us for too long. Riots will start. Bounty hunters will be on your trail. I will sit in a corner & cry.
Author's Response: Thank you! This was great to read after a long day. I was hoping you, especially would like it. I thought readers would be able to tell that the ending was leading to them getting back together, but for some I guess it didn't look that way. >puzzled< Anyhooters, thank you so so so so much for this. Im actually halfway through the first chapter of my next piece. But Im working full time now, so itll probably take a week to finish/type. >hugs<
Loved it!! Can't wait till your next story Im so looking forward to read more of your stuff! (secretly hope itll be one with a dominant Logan like the one in Heal Over).
Author's Response: >hugs< Thank you!!!!! I actually wrote all yesterday, and Im halfway done with the chapter. Dominant Logan. ;~) But Im starting a new job tomorrow, so youll probably see it Saturday.
the sudden rushed ending. kinda disappointed. wat does jean falling out of the jet have to do with anything?
Author's Response: Im sorry you felt it was rushed....the "epilouge" was just a joke.
Very cleverly worked from using “I had a son who died” as you’re beginning line and finish line to the flashback/forward journey in-between.
The rather open ending was fitting and in keeping with the style used and emotion built throughout the story especially with the miscarriage and misunderstandings in interpretation of feeling thereafter, time away making them see a lot clearer/see the truth of what is felt. However, now I have to apologise because I’m going to add a BUT....... I’m not sold on the Jean part of the fic or rather that after the event it seems to have been ignored. [Even taking into account your sneakily added epilogue ;) ] It was a big catalyst in their final breakdown and I felt it needed some/any conclusion/closure or even just an acknowledgement or it being addressed before the simple ending would work completely for me.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, great stuff as usual, well done x
Author's Response: Yeah, Ive got two or three Jean pages I was playing with but decided to leave out(there was also more to the Xavier scene). It just didnt...*feel* right. I wanted to keep the focus on Marie and Logan, nothing but what they personally witnessed. But thank you; Im very glad you enjoyed the story and appreciate the review, as always. ;)
wow that was heart wrenching! One hell of a ride.LOL Love you epilogue. lol Great story!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, for this and all of your reviews.
RoseSumner -there you are - yay!! I'm torn between being thrilled about this update and at a loss because this is the end of what is, without doubt, one of the best stories I've read on this website. And believe me, I've read a lot on this website. Anyway...
"And he thinks about people, and how easily they break. How Marie and he tore each other to shreds with the best of intentions." - amazing line and oh so true.
"I meant," Logan speaks quietly, "why do you have to go at all?" His eyes burn with an intensity that suits a very different question much better. - great line!
So please, please, please tell me you'll be writing something else soon? Because reading your updates is one of the highlights of my weekend. Does that make me sad? If it does, I don't care! I love it and you are a very, very talented writer.
Author's Response: >embraces, swings round and round< Thank you for the reviews I always look forward to. You always make me feel like it wasnt a waist of ink....Yeah, Ive got an idea Ive been kicking around. Ill probably start it today. :~)
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. im lost now
Author's Response: About?
It is so the best fanfiction I ever read!!! I just can't believe how good it was! The description of what each character is going throught with their emotion and fragility was exceptional and I can't believe how evry chapter was different with as good as the previous one. I really like the way you put this story with the flash back and all. Starting with the breakong point was such a good idea and made your story way more interesting. Not only your subject was great but the way you wrote it was pure genius! Thank you for this great fanfiction.
Author's Response: >screams< Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you....I could keep saying that for an hour. Im so glad you feel that way. >hugs tightly<
Love your writing. Loved the epilouge.
Author's Response: Love this review. Love you! Thanks!
Oh, you can't leave it there.......Logan and Marie so deserve a happy ending....Pleeeeease?
Author's Response: Im afraid thats as happy as I can give them. The rest is up to your imagination. But, if that doesnt work, here is how I see it: Logan goes back to Marie, takes her from the mansion, and they spend the rest of their days making up for lost time.
the last 2 chapters were kinda sad ( u know what parts im talking about) and anyway........what happned to that condom that he had? did her foget about it?
Author's Response: No, he didnt. :~)
Wow! Incredible! You write their scenes together with such tenderness and beauty - I bow before your superior talent! Please don't leave us too long before updating this. I don't want to rush you - perfection takes time, I know - but I am having withdrawal symptoms!
Author's Response: Okay, so I had to wipe my eyes after reading this review. Wimpy, I know, but there you have it. Thank you so much. And its too early for me to be positive, but Im reasonably sure/hopeful itll be up by Saturday...>wince< Im probably jinxing myself. But I promise: I wont forget about it, and I write as much as I can every day. :-)
I've re-read the whole thing just so I can get a better feel of the story as a whole (am still struggling doing it in chapters especially the back and forth of this one!) there’s a slight repetitiveness with the changing from one pov to the other, but it’s needed, there are two sides to each coin and we’re getting to see how one set of circumstances are felt/dealt with/misunderstood etc from R & L
The emotion you’re conveying to the reader is wonderful. You feel like you’re there with them seeing/feeling etc.
I hope in your plans there is more for Jean – one blow/hit ....... not enough!!!!!!!!
Great stuff keep it up, hope your grandmothers ok x
Author's Response: Thank you, a thousand times, for everything you wrote. Im happy you like it...and Im sorry about breaking that little "Once-A-Week" promise. This fic, however, is a bit of an exception, since each half is about the length of a normal chapter. Two-In-One, like shampoo & conditioner. Very economical.
"He doesn't eat kittens!" Had to point out that I re-read this (As I am wont to do with your fics) and caught this. Of course I giggled. I'm enjoying how kittens are the new easter eggs ;)
Author's Response: I'd absolutely love to not say anything, just let it slide and claim that clever line as my own, but I have to give credit where its due. Some very generous person put that up for adoption on Nanowrimo.
I was sooooo happy when I saw you'd updated this story! I'm having such a busy, fun-packed weekend and yet quietly reading this story with a steaming mug of tea is one of the highlights (I know, Comic-cake is slightly bonkers when it comes to the Rogan world, and in particular, this story).
The most outstanding part was how you describe Rogue's pain at the beginning. How do you write so incredibly well that I feel like my heart is breaking for her?
"But those shelves are just dead wood, like the books they hold. Cold and indifferent pillars on a jailhouse. They're nothing." I love lines like this, they're so clever, setting this anguish-filled scene so perfectly.
"I'll beg. I'll say-I'll say he can sleep with Jean, if he-if he really needs to. It's okay. It's okay. He can do whatever he wants. As long as he stays. As long as I can look at him. And hear his voice. And maybe-maybe hold his hand". - her desperation is so clearly demonstrated here that I want to cry for her. Seriously, I just want to break down and sob. But I'm not going to because my best friend is on her way round as I type this and she might think I've gone insane when I try to explain what has upset me so much. :-)
Under normal circumstances I'd cheer when Rogue hits Jean. But in this case, I'm feeling so much agony for Rogue that I can't even be happy about that.
"Slow, Logan tells himself, not entirely sure of the word's definition. You have to take things slow with this one. Careful. Slow. Slow. Slow." - lovely line, I can imagine Wolvie having this inner battle with himself.
And I've done it again. I've written another ridiculously long review. How do you manage to make me do that? Oh, that's right, it's because you are an amazing writer. x
Author's Response: Okay, so I cant give you my first born. But how will I ever explain to my future husband that I have to name our child Comic-Cake?..."But honey, its so exotic. All the other moms are doing it."....Seriously, thank you. I shouldnt be so greedy with your undeserved flattery, but I am. It makes weeks of glaring at paper worth it. >hugs<
Loved it!!! You describe the scenes so well, the shower part was simply h-o-t XD!... cant wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you!!! >hugs< Ya know, I almost apologized in the chapter for the smutty section. I was worried people wouldn't like it. :~)
wow did she kill Jean?
Author's Response: No. Unfortunately. :~)
Oh mess how I desperately want a happy ending for them :(
If this is what you give us after an extended period of time then it's worth it. This is quality. Everything you described felt tangible. It's by far the most visual chapter so kudos.
There are so many things that stood out to me here, but the one thing that I have to mention that appealed to the part of me that probably needs therapy was the Great Decking of Jean Grey. Holy crap was that satisfying!!! - wouldn't have been if you hadn't written it so clearly. Blows my 'tossing her out of the jet' out of the water.
Also a personal fave: "Logan is torn between saying, 'aw', and pinning her to the wall." Had to genuinely laugh out loud at that one. Pretty accurately describes Logan in most fics. You got it in one ;p
*here's hoping for happy endings & kittens*
Author's Response: Author Response? What? Are you blind? ....huh?...Oh! You mean you cant see me dancing and running around my house, screaming, 'yes!'? Oops. My bad....>dances, screams< Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! I just...I'm gonna cry. Okay, I already did that. Sorry, but the nice stuff under the horrible, scarring stuff didn't quite cut it. I'm gonna cry for YEARS!!!
At the same time, this just gives me more reason to vent my Jean-rage in my own story. Thanks!
Author's Response: Okay, so I totally shouldnt be this happy about making you cry. Its sick. Really sick. But I am. Im proud-and please dont take that in the wrong way. Im just glad a story of mine could be capable of bringing tears-for anything other than crappy writing. Thank you, and good luck with the Jean bashing. She deserves it,
Wow, he actually left.
Author's Response: Its not over. ;-)
