"Well, yeah. She was. So there you go."
Love that line.
Now that Marie is 'out', this ought to be interesting. Don't beat yourself up over having a tough time on a chapter, it happens to everyone. It turned out well and I think you can get into showing more of how Marie and Rogue are integrated and how she will now interact with Logan. Loving it.
Author's Response: Thanks. I'm glad the chapter wasn't as bad as I thought. Ya know, sometimes you just edit it to the point that you're not sure what you actually wrote and what you took out. Hmph. There will definitely be a little more Marie/Rogue integration drama, and those repressed memories are going to come into play. Poor Logan. He's in for a bumpy ride, bless 'is heart.
I was sitting in the edge of my chair the whole time I was reading this chapter because it drew me in emotionally than anything I've read in a while. I loved seeing Marie grow more into herself and decide that she needed to own more of the body that she had allowed Rogue to control for so long. This story has such a great natural flow and I always get so excited when I see the next chapter up. Keep writing! Hope your vacation was awesome.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I will definitely keep writing, and vacation was quite nice. I'm glad you feel an emotional response to the story. That's definitely what I hope to create when I write, so it's cool to get feedback and know that the characters come across well =). Thanks for reading.
Awesome chapter!!! I was wondering what would happen with the Rogue/Marie thing. I love how it's panning out so far. :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I'm really glad you're liking the story so far
Why, hello there! :)
Well, well, looks like our Marie got to be the protector this time, hmm? Your description of Rogue's mind is so vivid, I felt like I was creeping right along with Marie as she explored the mansion and beyond. This pretty much cemented and set the scene for me:
A flock of blackbirds made its way silently across the endless gray sky. The grounds extended as far as she could see, woods rising up on all sides, stretching out all the way until conscious blended into murky subconscious.
How hauntingly beautiful.
Wonderfully done, bringing Marie and Rogue together, the self realization through the acceptance of memories. There will be interesting times ahead now, I am sure. And what's this about another chapter tomorrow? You're spoiling us! :)
Author's Response: Hello yourself :). Marie definitely stepped up to the plate this time. There's hope for her yet. I'm glad Rogue's mind came across well. The hold 'worlds within worlds' thing has always fascinated me, and she's pretty much the ideal character to play around with that concept. And if two chapters after a 10-day dry spell is spoiling you, than yeah, I reckon I am, lol.
Welcome back. Hope you had a fun and relaxing vacation. Great new chapter. Great description with mergeing Marie and Rogue. Look forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks. It was definitely time for those two to get their act together. Now on to fun Rogany things =P
Oh, cool! Integration at last. Much healthier. Also this means she can tell Logan not to stop. ;) Don't worry about rushing to get there, though; you're doing a really nice job with the buildup.
Hope your vacation was wonderful.
Author's Response: She definitely *can* tell Logan not to stop. *Will* she tell him not to stop is a whole other question, heh. Vacation was pretty nice. It was actually a conference, but meh. I like my work, and there was a hotel with a nice pool involved, so it feels like vacation to me! :)
And she's back! Great chapter. So excited to see Marie taking more control. :)
Author's Response: Yes! She's back. And off to finish your story now. Woohoo =)
ok this is interesting. Now that she is integrated she how will Logan react. I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Wait no longer =)
Yowza. The interplay between those two... pant, pant. I think whenever you do finally get them together my comp screen is going to melt down! MOAR PLZ. :D
Author's Response: I've already written a couple of the 'them together' scenes, and have to say I'm happy with how they've turned out :). Hopefully you'll agree once we get to that point, heh. Though it's still a little ways off (sorry!).
I adore this incarnation. I've liked past absorptions of Sabretooth where she goes momentarily feral. But this? I like this so much more. It's everything that the other stories tried to be.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you're liking it so far. I was looking for a story like this to read, but couldn't find one, so I figured I'd just write myself lol :).
(oops, my review got cut off midway - here's the rest)
Control over the Wolverine, yes, but that doesn't mean that Logan won't let the animal out to keep and protect what's his. Then there is your Rogue, working through her own demons, learning about her mate(s), both the Wolverine and Logan:
This was the weak Logan, not the alpha. She could disobey him if she wanted.
But she didn't, did she? She wants to make him happy, which is revealing her love for the Logan, the man, not just obediance to Wolverine, the feral. Then you come up with this ingenious idea, tying the two men together that satisfies both while cementing Rogue's need to be claimed:
These aren’t a gift for you. You wear them for me.
But for all your eloquence in defining the man from the animal, Logan is still a male, after all and I laughed/sighed at this:
Get dressed,he murmured. Please.
Marie overcoming her guilt over Carol makes total sense as to being the key to breaking free of the powerful mutant's hold. Hopefully she can convince Rogue she doesn't need protecting anymore and is strong enough on her own.
Well done. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! You make me want to write. A lot. Now. Unfortunately I'm outta town til Saturday. Ugh. Oh well; at least I have my notebook and am now almost finished with the complete rough draft of this story (woohoo). I'm glad people are enjoying the sort of slow discovery with each. This story will have a lot of growth and change as they come to terms with themselves and each other. And of course some fun action and hijinks and a little asskickery along the way. It's been really fun to write, so I'm glad you're enjoying it :).
So funny - marshmallows in the microwave.... :)
Again, so many things you bring out in every new chapter you add to this story - Logan's thought process and acceptance of who the Wolverine is, and yet the absolute dominance he has over him, especially when it comes to Marie. Reading how he is learning to work with his love for her is an art onto itself. This line got me good:
To warn even his olfactory-challenged competitors: Mine. You touch her, you die.
Wow! Very interested in the reading more of this. Now that Carol has stepped aside, I'm curious to see how things develop. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I didn't see your review before; sorry it took me so long to respond. Thank you for reading and I hope you've enjoyed the story so far =). I am enjoying 'The Search' as well.
Isn't it funny how we all have such a different understanding of action. This chapter has two emotional peaks - Logan giving her his tags, and then the scene with Carol. "The cage began to rust, to crumble and disintegrate before her very eyes." That last scene is just beautiful: simple, minimalist, even, but an absolute turning point for Marie. Plenty of action for me. *happy sigh*
Author's Response: Thank you very much. That makes me smile. I suppose action *is* more than people running around attacking each other and doing badass-ish things, heh. It's nice to know the scene between Carol & Marie came across well. It was a powerful scene in my head, but of course you never know whether you got that across until someone gives feedback. So, thanks for the feedback, and thanks for reading :).
action as in lovin'? right? :)
Author's Response: LOL. That wasn't the definition of action I had in mind, though now you mention it, it's a damn fine idea.
I don't know how you can say there is not action in this chapter, I think there is tremendious movement. What an interesting idea that it was Marie and not Rogue who killed Caroln - its unique and very interesting. The way you wrote the tag scene was just perfect, I knew where you were going to go when he was outside but the fact that he didn't decide what to do until the spur of the moment was cool. The way he did it (what he said, how he touched her) might be one of the hottest non smutty scenes I have ever seen written in fic.
Author's Response: I'm glad this chapter wasn't a disappointment; I just worried people were expecting running and hollering and fighting, which I guess is my juvenile definition of 'action' heh. And thanks for the non-smutty hotness comment. I'll take that as high praise, considering your story is probably the hottest thing I've ever read and sends me blushing such a vivid shade of red that I can't even summon the courage to frickin' write a review for it yet. LOL.
Oh how I did a little happy dance when I saw the update in my email.
Love, love that Marie and Carol 'had it out'.
Logan's wrestling with himself was awesome.
And my favorite line:
"Rogue made a face. She didn’t like clothes. They were stupid. And scratchy."
I can just see her wrinkled nose at the idea of getting dressed. Loved it!
Author's Response: Aw. Happy dance? Cool. I'm glad Logan's thoughts came through well. It's hard to get inside a brooding, surly, possessive guy's head, but lucky for me I happen to know one who put up with an hour or so of relentless questioning =D.
Awesome chapter. There is so much change in the air for all of them. Can't wait to see what happens next. Keep up the great work.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you read and always take the time to leave nice reviews. Makes me a happy writer :)
Yeah, well, I don't mind the lovey-dovey stuff much.
"all his confusing Jedi proverb bullshit" that much made me LOL. Great stuff, can't wait to read what's coming next. :)
Author's Response: Glad you've enjoyed the story so far. I'm a fan of the lovey-dovey too, but I did promise action, and gosh darnit I'm gonna deliver as soon as the mushy romantic muses quit takin' over every chapter :P
I didn't mind the brief detour at all. The story is character perfect and your descriptions are awesome.
"Stupid fucking healing factor" indeed.
I was tempted to just not read this because I wanted to finish the story right. now. But I'll be patient. Great job.
Author's Response: Ha! I know what you mean. It's hard to read incomplete stories--especially if you're worried the author will disappear and never finish it lol. Thanks for the review.
I like the idea of having the inhabitants of Rogue's mind "live" in the mansion and come out occasionally. I'd like to see more of Marie, she seems sweet and glad you got the lovey dovey stuff out becuase I'm ready for more action!
Also, my favorite line in this story has to be poor Scott lamenting his Motorcycle hahaha.
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying the story. There is definitely more Marie to come! :)
Yah!!!!
Author's Response: Inorite!! :P
Now look what you've done - you've got me eyeballing your Scott with a litte more interest than Logan with this chapter. I have no problem shoving Jean out of the way to adjust that tie of his RIGHT OFF....
*ahem*...moving on now...
I really enjoyed you having Scott bring up that Rogue typically takes on the personas of the people she absorbs and that being the basis for his interest in whats happening - it validates his concern in regards to Rogue being in seclusion with Logan. Interesting too how your story has Logan's original mutation only being his healing factor and that his feralness was brought on by the Weapon X program. That's why I love this site - the ideas that srping out of the minds of the amazingly talented writers here is simply addicting, which your story is.
I can't wait for my next fix! :)
Author's Response: Um yeah. Movie Scott is a boyish little dousche who looks absolutely ridiculous with a gorgeous woman like Jean, ya know? Just felt like I had to rectify that in fic haha. As for the feralness brought on by the Weapon X program, not really sure where that came from. But it does tie in well with an upcoming subplot, so joy :P. Next fix incoming ASAP.
I really loved this chapter, I didn't expect to with it starting out with Scott butting in, but the conversation between he and Logan had to happen. I don't think this was overly lovey dovey either.
Excellent!
Author's Response: Thanks. That's great to know, as I was a little reluctant to return to Scott's POV as well. But as you said, it had to happen.
Such a great chapter! I have to say I'm proud of Scott. This is one of the few stories that was more serious, that had Scott not hating and always jealous and fighting Logan. I really like how Scott is protective of Rogue, but also realizing Logan is the better man to help her right now. Bravo Scott!
Aww Logan is in love. It's about time he let his heart reach out to someone else, and not just his lust. I can't wait for the next update. Keep up the great writing.
Author's Response: Thanks. I think Scott was woefully dousche-ified in the movies, and have no problem trying to rectify that in fic. Glad it came through well. Next update ASAP
