Had a sudden *craving* for this fic last night, hit me again today. Just as awesome the third time through.
Forgot to mention, I think, how much I loved these line--
"People had spent millions of dollars and more time than he had been alive – maybe, hard to tell at this point – to handle what nature threw at them." That 'maybe' really makes the sentence stand out as something special.
"He focuses on the dirty little stream flowing alongside the curb. Water under the bridge." So, so visual.
"He wants to think that she’s covered up because of the cold, not to rankle him by denying him access to her body." Perfectly Loganosity here, though I don't think it was supposed to be half as....what's the word....um...kinky, as I took it. Forgive me. I'm in a mood.
"He’s pretty sure his body is the strongest part of him too, so if he physically can’t hang on to her then what chance does he have?"....Absolutely heartbreaking and, yet again, *in character*. Just beautiful.
"A guy with an adamantium-reinforced skeleton shouldn’t be doing any kind of dancing for Christ’s sake." HA!! How in the world could I have missed this giggle-gem before?
"Never seriously considered it until now. He has no fucking clue what he would be sorry for, but he vaguely thinks women like to hear that sort of thing." Such Logan awesimitude here.
So, class, to sum up: Sarah does Logan like she *is* Logan. Only with different kinds of bumps on her chest.
Author's Response: OMSJ. Rose. You really, genuinely had me grinning so hard my face hurt throughout this, until the end where I actually cackled. No, not laughed, I cackled. You have no idea - okay, you probably do have an idea - how slap happy it makes me that you re-re-read this! That you had a *craving* for any fic of mine and then went out of your way to review. For that, you can have Dark!Sarah - just make sure you get to her after her "feeding". AND you did quotes! People are going to wonder what happened to Caustic!Sarah if you keep this up. Smiles don't look right on me. ;)

It was really good! But, one thing I like is substance. If you could add another chapter and have them talk or something... Dont hate me
I loved it, it really was good to see logans emotions like that
Author's Response: Sadly, this is where this fic ends. It was pretty hard to put into words, but I had to do what the plot bunny wanted me. Also, I kind of like the lack of talking for this particular piece. In this instance I don't see Marie & Logan having a 100% healthy, open communication type of relationship. Lack of communication got them into this mess & they're not going to change overnight. I think that's kind of what I hinted at in the end of the story, but perhaps it wasn't too clear. I apologize for that. Thanks for reviewing though!

This fic is even better the second time around. You're angst writing is utterly fantabulous, so poetic and sharp. I can't wait to see what you'll create next. Hope your Monday improves!
Author's Response: My Monday *did* just improve! With your splendiferous review! And with the fact that my computer doesn't find a spelling error in the word splendiferous! Thank you for checking it out a second time and super thanks for going through it the first time. I wish it was like a roller coaster where you get your picture taken at the end so you'd have a nifty souvenir. Except here you'd get Wolverines....yeah....nice.

Your sense of humour in you a/ns rocks. Your angst made me feel drained and edgy all at the same time. I love reading your stuff.

Author's Response: I tried to balance things out. Didn't want you to feel *too* drained. And I love that you love reading my stuff. It makes me want to write more stuff :) Thanks!

Logan has never, ever in his few remembered years genuinely apologized to anyone. Never seriously considered it until now.
He apoligizes in X1 quite a lot. To Jean, to Scott, to Rogue... but they were all sorta off-hand. Like, 'hey, that thing I did? Yeah, sorry about that - or something.' I never really felt that he meant it, altough I'd like to think that he meant it when he said sorry to Rogue in the train. :)
Anyway, this fic was wonderful. I could here the rain, I saw the gray and darkness, I felt their frustration. I loved how they inched together again, and I loved Logan's thoughts.
The earth greedily welcomed the precipitation. Here in the city, it was all so…gray. All of it.
I love this. He doesn't belong there. He belongs in the woods. I loved the contrast of the green and gray, and I love that he thought about that.
Anyway, I'm glad I got the message that you posted a fic again. Thank you for sharing!
Author's Response: Yeah I had to think about that line when I put in in there because, as you mentioned, there are times in X1 where he throws out an "I'm sorry" - like after the Prof is taken out of commission by the tampered with Cerebro - but it didn't feel "heartfelt". I have to say I didn't recall him apologizing to Rogue on the train, so I probably would have reworked that line if I had remembered that at the time. Thank you for pointing this out and for leaving great feedback. Double thanks for adding as a favorite :D

“Same old.” “it was all so…gray. All of it.”
Set within the first paras you were just beginning to set the scene and these two lines I absolutely loved - they held such sadness, a complete feeling of exhaustion with ‘everything’
Then we get to the reason for the situation you’ve set up and it doesn’t matter one little bit that we don’t know the details, that its more of a ‘one moment in a long line of moments’ there is an understanding of the whole picture for the reader, an understanding of everything Logans thinking, why he’s thinking it, the reasons for his actions/inactions etc. and heartbreak at his feeling of inadequacy/what to do/how to deal etc.
So much below the surface in this fic. Yet easy to ‘read’ between the lines. Beautifully and very well done.
Author's Response: I'm so happy that you picked up on these things. I wasn't sure if the fic was clear enough without being too wordy. I was also hoping you guys would get the gist even though some things are a vague. What I'm thrilled about is that you get the whole "moment in a long line of moments" thing. I was considering doing a series just based on that idea, but didn't know if I could pull it off. So this is a stand alone...for now. I just love your reviews - they're so thought out and I really appreciate that :D

"Because he’s the one who’d rather wait out the storm with her than walk away." I second loving the last line. It's quite beautiful.
Author's Response: I had a lot of trouble with that last line so I'm super happy that you liked it. And I treasure the fact that you think this is beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Loved the first chapter. You really know how to paint a picture. The angst is awesome, keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks! I was hoping I'd be able to describe the setting well without bogging you guys down with too many unnecessary words. I'm glad you liked the angst too

"He wanted, for once, for them to just fucking deal with their shit." -- If there's a crux to this story, I think this line is it.
This is Logan at his angsty best. He doesn't get this deep in it often, but when he does--and it's this well-written--its a joy to read. I love how they come together again by inches, literally. A few baby steps here, a one-armed hug there. Brilliant.
I wonder if they know how lucky they are to be with someone who understands the difference between fighting FOR each other and just fighting. I'd give anything to have understood that, before it was too late... --Wendie
Author's Response: Oh man, that line was tossed in there at the last minute, honest - and I really didn't think too much of it either. Angsty Logan is surprisingly hard because, like you mentioned, he's not big on the exposition of inner depth. Sometimes you gotta push him, but not to much, because after all, he *is* the Wolverine and I really don't want my laptop shredded. Wouldn't we all love to be able to tell the difference between fighting for each other & just...well...fighting? Then again, Marie was the one who explained it to him, but in this it looks like she forgot about the former somewhere along the way. *Sigh* Oh these two...rnrnThank, as always Wendie, for your wonderful review :Drnrn-Sarah

Beautiful!! Their fight, the attitudes - seemingly reflected in the crappy weather...are you SURE Storm is still the Weather Witch in this fic? Seems like the storm gets worse as their own inner turmoils do.
Loved the last line.
Author's Response: This is what I love about getting feedback: you guys pick up on things that aren't at all intentional when written. While I'd like to take credit for having the idea of making the storm purposely reflect their emotions/increasing turmoil - that wasn't in my mind. So I'm really, very happy when a reader comes up with something like this and finds their own meaning. Thank you!!
