Oh, yum. Something about you and those chapter 13s. I highly approve. ;-) I like Rogue being drunk on Logan's scent. And the not being able to drive stick was a nice touch, especially how Rogue is chafing at the restrictions on her freedom and independence.
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. It's been really fun to decide how their feral nature will impact their day-to-day lives and relationship--not to mention Marie's craziness on top of it. Hope you enjoy where it all ends up going! It's gonna be a twisty turny ride :).

That bellboy has no idea how close to death he was standing. And thinking the growling was a cold. Hahaha. Either he was hoping that that was what it was or he is just that stupid. I'm going with the latter.
I really wanted Marie to try to delve into Rogue here and see if she could remember how to drive the stick, but I totally understand why she didn't go there yet. Great update.
Author's Response: Yeah. I actually came about *this* close to having Wolverine pummel the poor guy and then proceed to teach his mate a lesson she'd never forget . . . but alas, that will have to be a redux or something :). I'm glad you're liking the story so far. Marie is definitely going to start dealing with those repressed memories once she gets back to the mansion, hopefully with some interesting and entertaining results :).

Great update, hope to read more soon.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm a-workin' on it. Wish other plot bunnies would stop trying to intrude, but oh well :). Nothing wrong with tossing in a few short stories on the side, right?

the poor girl is soo confused she doesn't know which way is up and Logan isn't much better. I have been on vacation for two weeks and it was a great present to come home to two new chapters. I love how they are trying to start over - ain't gotten happen. Should be great fun to watch.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm hoping it will be fun to watch. Nothing like seeing two lonely, emotionally guarded people struggle stubbornly against barely restrained animalistic passion while teaching some mutant kids and saving the world superhero style, right?

"HmmHMMMM, Good Lordy, Fuck Yes, Wow, Shiiiiiiitbuoy."
That made me LOL. The entire scene was just awesome. You write them too perfectly. The poor bellboy!
Author's Response: Aw thanks. I'm glad the scene came across well. Wanted to lighten the mood after the angst of the last couple of chapters. Yes, poor bellboy. Logan is not what we'd call a people-person . . .

“I don’t want you to take those off. Never, baby, never.”
She remembered Carol’s words: a dog collar.
And there was a part of her mind that wanted nothing more than to wear it for him. Logan had trained his pet well.
How bloody hot is THAT?! Another awesome chapter - love how the relationship is building between Logan and Marie. Very real, very much two people jostling for understanding. But that ending? Hee, hee, you are just evil.
Love the "What happens in Vermont, Stays in Vermont." :) Funny lady!
Author's Response: Okay. I thought it was pretty damn hot, too. Glad to see we're on the same page, hee. And that is the absolute perfect phrase to describe where they're at right now, "two people jostling for understanding." Although Marie's perspective on those tags and just what they mean is going to shift as her relationship with Logan evolves :).

Oh, it was going so well for Logan at the end and then she had to mention the bellman. sigh
I really love this story. And I'm so glad that you're now going to work more on the Logan/Marie aspect (as opposed to the Rogue/Logan/Wolverine aspect). I can't wait for more!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time to read and review. The Logan/Marie aspect is definitely going to get come to the forefront in all sorts of interesting and complicated ways, especially once they get thrown back into life at the mansion. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story :).

Uh oh...
Author's Response: I know, right? It was disturbingly tempting to actually have Logan tear into the poor guy and then teach Marie a rather vicious lesson--but I didn't wanna go all angsty with it ;P. Maybe I'll do a redux once this story's finished, explore some of those alternate possibilities.

Yeah, I'm guessing that little mantra won't last long. ;) Great update. Like seeing Marie and Rogue integrating and I can't wait to see what you have in store for them next.
Author's Response: Thanks. I'm glad you're liking the integration. It's been slow-going deciding how to handle her dialogue and inner thoughts, how to gradually make that transition from immature Marie to the confident grown-up Rogue we saw at the beginning of the story--I hope I'm able to do it justice and bring the readers along on the ride!

Love the update. I like how you are addressing Marie's skin, and how Logan is reevaluated if he can handle it. Very tough and touching choices. Keep up the great work.
Author's Response: Thanks. They are tough issues to work through--Logan's relative immortality and Marie's relative untouchability. Those are serious hurdles to overcome, and while I'm not gonna go all angsty with this story, it seems unrealistic to just gloss over everything. But hey, they'll work through it eventually :)

Fantastic.

Author's Response: Thank you :). That's about the best review I could hope for, heh. Thanks for reading.

You know what? This chapter was awesome. The care you put into their reactions to each other - Logan's struggle to control his feral claim on her, his anger, frustration, hurt, it's all there. And Marie's state of mind right now is bang-on. I mean, holy frig, the woman is realizing that she's been a sexual animal around the guy all this time! And the way you convey her mortification is making me wince AND laugh, poor thing!
Logan is an ass sometimes, (I could SO see him on that bed, lounging away) but he's a cute one. I cannot wait to see how things play out in the world of the X-Mansion. :)
Author's Response: Thanks for always leaving thoughtful, helpful feedback. And YES, poor Marie, that would be flippin' mortifying. Somehow, though, I think she'll recover ;)

it did indeed turn out okay. :)
im super excited for more!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad to know you liked the chapter :)

I don't know what you took out, but I think the chapter as it is is damn near perfect. I will admit, though, that I share Logan's disappointment. I was hoping that an integrated Marie/Rogue = fun in the sack. I can see, though, that you made the right choice. Even if Wolverine and Rogue have chosen each other, Logan and Marie still have to be fully convinced. You do a great job of having Marie misunderstand in a way rooted in her insecurities, rather than in a sitcom-everybody-misinterprets-things-and-nobody-clears-them-up way. Very believable, even knowing how much Wolverine wanted her, that she would look back on her actions and his and see it differently. Can't wait to see how these two interact now, and adding the mansion to the mix should be even more interesting!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad the chapter wasn't as bad as I feared. There was just such a massive shift in Marie's own self-perception and the dynamic between her and Logan, and I wanted to get it all cross in one chapter without it feeling too rushed or far-fetched, you know? I'm so appreciative of your feedback; it's great to see that what you read matches what I hoped to get across. Anyway, I'm back to work on the next chapter now. So you get back to work on 'The Rogue', got it? I can't wait for the next update.

Hooray for integration! This was a great chapter. I liked this idea a lot:
She wished he was still inside her mind. He always seemed to know what Rogue needed, whereas Marie didn’t have a clue.
Very interesting concept that Wolverine has a stronger connection with Rogue in some ways than Marie does.
Author's Response: Reviews are like candy, and you are totally spoiling me. (Don't get me wrong, I ain't complainin'.) I think Logan does have a stronger connection with the feral Rogue than Marie does. And now that she's integrated, that translates to him knowing her better than she knows herself in some ways. It's definitely gonna be a fun ride.

Let turn up a head, can't wait for the change of scenary. This IS gonna be fun. Keep writing!
Author's Response: It sure is gonna be fun. Don't worry. The rough draft of this story is already finished in my notebook. I will definitely keep writing, and hope to keep the updates quick and steady so long as life doesn't throw me any curveballs *crosses fingers*.

This chapter was genius in so many ways. I just loved this distinction Logan makes between Wolverine and Logan:
“Don’t listen to him. I want you to do this for me, Rogue. I’m askin’. It’s not a command.”
The idea of marking her with his tags was just brilliant, a nice twist on a piece of canon. Just as brilliant was the Carol torment being sort of self-produced by Marie's subconscious guilt. It never makes a lot of sense to me when Carol goes from good guy to psychopath just because she was absorbed, this seems like a very logical explanation.
Author's Response: Yeah, Carol is basically a good guy. I never understood the 'evil bitch' persona all the stories give her, either. That was why I wanted to portray her that way in this story and put an actual reason behind it. The distinction between Wolverine and Logan is definitely interesting. I was going to make the line a bit fuzzier, but as the story evolved, they really grew to be two distinct characters. Sometimes they work as one, but sometimes they're diametrically opposed. Which is a cool parallel, because that's kinda the dynamic I see between Rogue and Marie, too.

Another great chapter. I like Scott and all but the real star of this chapter for me was the calm, authoritative interactions between Wolverine and Rogue, like this:
He just raised an eyebrow at her tantrum. “I see it. But you know he didn’t mean to invade your territory. Now stop fussing.”
You also do a really great job of portraying how confusing it is for Feral!Rogue when someone's verbal and nonverbal cues don't match.
Author's Response: I liked the dynamic there too. Glad to see someone else enjoyed it :). It's great to go back and skim over these chapters and see your feedback. It's really helping me get grounded in the story again, ready to move forward with a nice clear vision of where these characters have been and where they need to go. So thanks for that.

This chapter is just awesome. You are a maestro with the sexual tension. There is more sexuality in the barest touch in your story than in a lot of fics where Rogan are banging like bunnies. ;-) This part in particular was very nice:
She made no attempt to answer. Her fingers ghosted over his lips, making him shake. The barely-there drag of silk seemed to heighten all of his senses. Little flashes of pleasure seared through him, growing stronger and stronger with every pass of her fingers—and suddenly it was too much. His hips bucked and he bit down on her.
Author's Response: Heh. Maestro. I like that. I do think that people often underestimate the power of a simple touch, skim over or flat-out ignore moments that could be drawn out a little bit and savored. I mean that both in real life and in writing, of course! Sensuality doesn't have to mean sex. Though make no mistake; there will be sex. Those scenes have already practically written themselves. :P.

So sorry, I've been reading on my phone and slacking on the reviews again, but it's a wonderful excuse to be able to back up and re-read this great story. So many great lines in this one...this whole section was wonderful about portraying Marie's angst about untouchability without a lot of woe-is-me melodrama. To her, it just is.
Marie paused for a long moment. She sensed the sincerity in his words. But she also wondered what prompted his devotion to her. “I know Rogue has, um, led you on. She doesn’t really understand, ya know? That we can’t be touched.” Marie looked down at her flimsy nightgown, her bare hands. She shivered. “She oughta know better. She was the one always tellin’ me . . . I’ll see if I can make her wear gloves from now on.”
And I really liked this part too:
Marie was . . . her, only not. Her, only even moreso.
And, the part where Logan whines to communicate to her...yum. I love me some feral Logan, as you probably know from The Prisoner, and you do an amazing job of making his feral side real but not ridiculous.
Author's Response: Don't be sorry. It totally made my day to come home and see the mountain of reviews waiting haha. Thanks for taking the time to give such thoughtful feedback. And yes, feral Logan is yum. I'm glad he came across well. But I don't think I could ever top your portrayal of him in The Prisoner. I've told you that's my favorite W/R story, right?

Oh, burn, Marie. ICE BURN. Fun is right. I can't wait. ^_^
Author's Response: Ha. Ain't that the truth. Downright frosty. But she's got reason to be guarded, and Logan's gonna have to work his way through her defenses if he truly wants her :).

I feel terrible for Logan. But its interesting to see Marie deal with how Rogue acted. I can't wait for them to deal with all their issues. Should be hot. lol
Author's Response: Hee. Hot for sure. Logan's definitely having a rough time, poor bastard. But they'll get things sorted out eventually =).
