God, I love Remy! And Jubes... and well, YOU for this chapter. lol ;)
Seriously, lovely chapter and I adore Remy and Jubilee together. Very hot and uniquely sweet. Swoon... :)

I missed this, how did I miss this? Apologies for lateness but I’m here now and damn glad I am x
Loved the outward confidence at the start followed by snippets of the underlying insecurity.
Nice touch with the dance :)
Loved this section and the understanding it portrayed:- “She wanted him- her Logan, her Wolverine- completely and not some phantom who wore his face. So she began whispering in his ear, telling him what she wanted him to do to her. Asking him to give himself to her completely, to let everything else go. With each delicious rise and sinful fall she felt him- the real him- come ever closer to the surface. Felt the man she’d dreamed about all this time put himself ever more fully into her hands”
And then we have the “I’ll want you til they bury me, darlin’, line and the ahhh factor hits an all time high! Manly romance - The wording used still keeping him Logan with undercurrents of Wolverine and not some sweet weak drip! I know what I mean it’s just hard to put into words!!
‘Officially Fucking Rocked’ – yep!

Actually, it's this story that officially fucking rocks!!! I love all the quotes that Moviemom, Lorelai and Melancholy Rogue referenced. They're all fantasic but I think the one that Melancholy Rogue mentioned is my favorite. This was such a sweet chapter and I loved it. I'm psyched that there is more to come.

I don't know how I missed this! I should have been as on top of this update as....
...well you know.
Ugh, can I outsource any writings of Smutty Goodness to you? Do you do freelance Smut Writing? Because you balanced the romance perfectly here, showing that you know your smexy writing.

Oh, the tricked-out sex cave ain't the only thing about this story that Officially Fucking ROCKS! You managed to balance the quick and dirty with the slow and sweet and then tossed in one of the sweetest moments I've ever read:
Logan came a moment later, her whispers that she loved him the first thing he heard on the other side of it. WOW. Just WOW.
If I haven't done it already, this is definitely going in the faves... --Wendie

I really love the line '“You go to heaven and I go to Hell and I’m staging a jailbreak to come looking for you.”' I think that's such a perfect way of saying that, is it a quote from something or is it yours? Either way it's wonderful, one of my fave quotes now! :)

“I love you, you get that right?” he said after a moment. And he gave her that smile he’d given her in the kitchen, the one she’d never seen him throw to anyone else.
Turns out, that one was hers.
Okay, I loved the whole thing, but that little section right there was my favorite. :) Great job!

I'm on a reading/commenting ROLL tonight!!! Getting myself all caught up on all the LOVELY fiction available around here, and this one is just...ugh...SO well done.
I think (at least, I HOPE) I mentioned in my review to Back in Black, that I love how you write Kitty and Jubes, and all of the other 'side' characters. You give them a lot of life, and really make them pop on the page (or screen, or, whatever).
And I honestly ADORE your Remy in this story. Love that he was willing to get into a knock-down-drag-out fight with the Wolverine JUST to help Rogue out. (And OMG, the SEX GARAGE is a BRILLIANT IDEA!!! Holy, hell!!)
This last chappie was fantastic. The fact that Logan and Marie can go from that awkward practically NON-TALK at the Cathedral to the one here, where they actually establish what is between them BEFORE getting *ahem* the 'show on the road' (and yeah, SO looking forward to that!) is just fantastic.
Really great characterization with a fun plot. What's not to love here?
Date: 02/22/2011 12:34:29 AM Title: Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Hey there!
I'm really enjoying your story so far, and I haven't reviewed before because since there was nothing useful for me to offer it would've been rather pathetic of me to keep saying, "Loving this!" over and over once (maybe twice) per chapter.
I must say though, this chapter made me LMAO several times.
Logan's internalization especially.
I haven't been into the fandom for awhile now, but just had a hankering for some fic, and I'm glad I found yours. Back when I was into reading it (oh, a year or so ago), I would've loved to see a good fic that dealt with Wolvie and Gambit both vying for Rogue, and this is working itself out very nicely.
So anyway, the only critique I could come up with to comment on for this particular chapter was Gambit's line at the end there. I lived in New Orleans for 3 years (went to law school at Loyola -- right next to Tulane, which you mention -- and if you're still writing this, I would hope you mention Loyola, because there's a serious rivalry and I'll be a little peeved if you don't...Loyola is SOOO much better than Tulane, anyway! ;-P ). Anyway, as I was saying, I lived there for 3 years and one of my best friend is Cajun -- serious Cajun to the extent that when her grandmother (Cajuns call her "maw maw") talks to me too fast, I can't hardly understand her.
So yeah...the point being, the line should be "Laissez les bonnes temps rouler."
I also don't know how familiar you are to New Orleans slang, but people will also use other endearments other than "chere" and "petite", things like, "bebe", and "boo". And also, "cher" is not pronounced like the name, it's pronounced like, "shaa" by actual Cajuns, although I remember Gambit from the old X-Men cartoons pronouncing it like the French "cher" so I don't know if there's a difference there. I think there's some distinctions between "town Cajuns" (those that live in New Orleans and such) and "Bayou Cajuns." My friend's family are "Bayou Cajuns" and they use "shaa" and there's some other difference, like when I lived in New Orleans I got used to saying I was going to "make groceries" but she and her family say they're going to "make a [grocery] bill".
Another few terms and things I remember that you might like to pepper your story with:
"Yea, you right!" = in my experience, used like an "damn straight" elsewhere.
"F'true" = used like, "I ain't lying." when someone says, "are you kidding?" or "really?"
"ya mam n' dem" = used to inquire after someone's family.
And, that's all I can remember.
Sorry if it's presumptuous of me to offer this! You're doing a good job so far, but I wanted to offer you some options for the future if you haven't finished the story and if you feel they're useful! :)
Author's Response: hi emania, first of all glad you're enjoying the story, that's always nice to hear. especially one like this, because if the reader doesn't get behind it then it falls flat :-) as for the stuff about the Cajun dialect, i have to admit that i'm not terribly familiar with it. i'm irish so most of what i know about American idioms comes from TV or movies. (i actually have to catch myself using words like tap instead of faucet or fringe instead of bangs. hopefully little gets through). I have also never doubted that the way Gambit speaks in the comics bears very little resemblance (lol) to the way the actual Cajun community in the United States uses english. the language i use in the story reflects the comic books, which aren't realistic at all (you should look at how they used to write the irish character Banshee's dialogue); it's also why certain words are spelled phonetically. i can of course bear in mind what you have told me and i will, but i don't think that anything i write without first-hand experience of New Orleans like yours would come out realistically. my best hope is matches with the comic book world, which is the one i am more familiar with. Again, thank you for taking the time to review and point this out to me; i will bear it in mind, i'm just unable to make any promises. thanks again and hobbits away, hey!

This might have been a bitch for you to write but it was pretty frickin' awesome to read! I loved how they were so tentative at first and then they finally got down to talking. It was cool to hear Logan just put it all out there.
So many geat lines in this (as always): "...porn did not count" LOL
"...choose the no good bastard who'd do anything fer you--Who is me, by the way!"
"Ah coulda taught a course on that at the Mansion, mainly because of you."
"...all the ingredients for a letter to Penthouse..."
And the best one: "Let's get this show on the fuckin'road."
Amen to that!
Oh, and lastly, I really do think that there is a picture of Logan in the dictionary under "Sex On A Stick".

“We got played.” 1st thought in my head......Oh dear what a shame!!!
Loved the way they were treading on eggshells, neither knowing quite what to do, neither wanting to leap before the other.
‘see through the no good bastard who’d hurt you and finally choose the no good bastard who’d do anything fer you’ I loved this line [amongst others] really had the ahhh factor! Readers all over shouting at their screens ‘yeah Marie why didn’t you see’
“Let’s get this show on the fucking road.-” And he and Marie took it from there.......hereby voted as best ending to a chapter - you could finish the whole thing there and I’d be perfectly happy......
but then again ;)

You know you could've ended it right there....
...if you were a terrible, awful, sadistic individual who wanted death threats.
Luckily for everyone you're the Smut Queen and you do deliver.
"And it was in that moment that Marie decided being locked in a tricked-out sex cave with Logan officially fucking rocked." Well said!!!!

The beautiful thing about your stories, and those of another chosen few on this site, is that you always let Logan and Marie 'take it from here'. You get out of the way and let them talk and do and whatever else. It's their story and you let them tell it.
I love that they talked first and really opened their hearts for a change. That makes what comes next all the more wonderful.
And if you have any pull with these two whatsoever with regard to storytelling (see first paragraph of review), then I would be ever so grateful if you could perhaps coax both the slow-and-sweet AND the quick-and-dirty smexiness out of them. But if I have to settle for just one, I definitely vote for the slow-and-sweet 'cause I like the sound of 'all night long'... --Wendie

First- thanks for the welcome back. :)
Second- You had me cracking up with the "tricked-out sex cave" and "lay back and think of Westchester" lines. Hilarious!
This story is amazing. I'm so happy that they're finally laying it on the line and telling each other how they feel. So good!

I was doing ok till the hello kitty panties went flying past the window - 4 lines in and the giggling had started. [from this point onward it didn’t stop]
Excellent visuals in this chapter - must get myself some of Remy’s special clothes eating cards. Very nice touch, much appreciated [I think it’s safe to assume by all readers not just me!!]
‘nobody puts Wolvie in a corner’ outstanding! That’s going in my all time top 5 lines. The story itself in my top 5 humour fics.
Brilliant - the whole lot, every para, every line, even the title which is getting a shout all of its own - Well done x

Now THIS was a delightfully hilarious and deliciously naughty start to my day. Love how everybody played the two of them perfectly to maneuver them into position for what I hope will be the mother of all Rogan smexiness in the next chapter...or maybe the one after that, should they decided to, ya know, actually talk before they shag each other's brains out. Oh, and I'm still looking forward to Jubes idea of gratitude for Remy, too. I'm just sayin'... --Wendie

I'm a naughty girl & read this during class. Oops. Let's be honest, this dominates research methods any day of the week. Hands down. The Swamp Rat won a tiny piece of my heart by allowing his little Cajun butt to get kicked and since I just watched the series finale of Friday Night Lights w/ the guy who played Origins Gambit - I got me a nice visualization of that.
"Nobody puts Wolvie in a corner" is a new classic!
Once again I'm loving that Marie is still "Armed".
Oh yes, one other thing I liked: Smex Garage. It's new all right. Terri gave us the Smex Cabin & let it be known that hobbitsdoitbetter gave us the Smex Garage.
And it was good.

Hoot hoot hoot! You do action *so* well, my dear. Please-more-soon! This is so much more interesting than the job talk I stayed up late to write. Hmm.. maybe you could write my job talk. You'd have folks jumping up and down, cheering and smacking high 5s. Yeah! Busy tomorrow? :)

Chapter 1 - Great humour throughout. Fantastic dialogue between the girls. Loved Marie’s unconvincing denial of her feelings for Logan. Pete Parker? We’re crossing again! Bff? Had to look it up - I’m way too old to keep up with all these abbreviations!
Chapter 2 – f’ing brilliant. love, love, love this chapter!
Chapter 3 – great title! “And you are..?”......“Armed.” Fell of the chair with this line!
Chapter 4 – Logan stumbling and getting it all wrong, far too amusing!! an absolute joy to read – you really are so, so good with the humour x
Chapter 5 – 'Her Hello Kitty panties’ way to throw a bucket of water on the fire, loved this ending to the list. ‘couldn’t give a rat’s testicles let alone its ass’ an oldie but still a damn goodie! Loved Marie’s angry internal rant and then the switch to flirting.
Chapter 6 - along with great humour we have great visuals. I can see everyone, their expressions and actions – loved my picture of kitty smacking Logan round the head!
“And no, just grabbing her and trying to have your way with her on that bar doesn’t count.”..... “I’d find it fucking encouraging, darlin’,” – me to but that’s beside the point.....
‘and you can do a dancing Obi-Wan on Logan' – see it’s all these little but constant extras that make this so damn amusing to read.
Chapter 7 – again with the visuals – Logans Ass swaying on the dancefloor.....not bad at all, very nice infact!
Chapter 8 – who knew I’d be so interested in reading about someone washing up – that’s talent right there!!
Chapter 9 – poor ol Logan, you really know how to make him put his foot in it!
Chapter 10 – now we got both of them at it, hope the misunderstandings don’t go on for too long - I don’t think my need for shippery goodness can take much more!!
Chapter 11 – bollocks! Knew it was a wip but really didn’t want to get to the end!! What happens next? Is the plotting & scheming going to work this time? Will they finally pull their heads from their arse’s? Suspense kills you know, and I’m too young to die.
You deserve a more in-depth review for each chapter but I just couldn’t stop for long, it was so good I had to keep reading! well done x

I don't care whose head you are in when you write, it always, always, always sounds just like them and no one else. Logan is Logan, Remy is Remy...you get the gist. I love that Remy is willing to 'take one for the team', as it were, in cleaning up his own mess. Of course, I think Jubes 'thank you' might include a whole lot more than a handshake when all is said and done, n'est pas? This one was extra lovable, which means I'm really looking forward to more, more, more!
Oh, and just so you know, I haven't read and reviewed those last three chapters of B in B because I haven't had sufficient 'alone' time to really relish them the way I want to. Normally, I'd do it when the kids go to bed, but lately I've been crashing right along with them. But, believe me, it's at the top of my 'to read and review' list! --Wendie

God I've missed this story! I'm not sure why you were having confidence issues, your writing is excellent and a joy to read. Again, love the humor in this story. The "they better name a kid after me" line cracked me up. I look forward to the ass kicking! Please update soon!

"a look on his face like a smacked ass."
OH. MY. GOODNESS.
I truly guffawed at that. That's right, I didn't just laugh, but I cracked the mess up. So for the record: your confidence crisis is has no business here. You started out of the gate with this hilariousness! C'mon!
"Paffinate"? Hmmm, I like it.
Love how you kept the whole "Armed" thing and you worked in the demon princess/goat sex thing.
You've successfully undone a three hour lecture on research methods. I can't thank you enough.
