WOW!! This chapter was really erotic!!

Wow, this was really dark. But in a good way. I love it!

This is a fantastically imaginative, exciting, and character-driven story, nearly ruined by some occasionally awkward writing, poor grammar in spots - especially with proper usage of verbs and tenses- sometimes misleading use of pronouns, and the usual confusion in the correct use of contractions so many writers are guilty of -- your, you're, their, they're, there, etc. The nagging mistakes which continuously litter the text throughout detract from even a terrific story like this one, especially when one is gobbling it up like a starving person. I really loved the characters and the action, but too often was brought to a screeching halt with every technical glitch or awkward construction encountered. It is too good a story not to have another serious beta read and just a little judicious editing to really tighten it up. For all my criticism, however, I congratulate you on a wonderful story!

Absolutely Amazing - i was hooked from start to finish, this is definately one of the best stories i've read ... and i've read thousands ....So descriptive without getting boring, not everyone seems to be able to pull that off with the longer stories. Congratulations on a wonderful piece of writing.

Author's Response: Thank you for the feedback it was a long slog but I think it was worth it in the end. I try to keep it as real as possible for the characters involved and I'm glad you persevered with it. Thank you so much for leaving your thoughts with me it *is* appreciated, hugely. Hugs Jo.

I've been on vacation for the last 2 weeks and only just got back online via *dial-up*!! What a wonderful surprise to find the story completed! Exactly what I needed after suffering through WRFA withdrawal!

Absolutely LOVED the last chapters; was a little scared you were going to keep us hanging after introducing that strange 'drying' death-weapon. Thank for not doing that.

Really, really liked that you brought back Mason, brought the whole thing around very nicely, to complete the circle! Bravo, my dear, bravo! A wonderfully involving piece that always kept me waiting with bated breath for the next chapter.

Awwww the perfect end!

Great story!

I'm lovin' this story. The waves of adventure/excitement/respite/danger are intoxicating.

A very powerful couple of chapters, Jo. I sort of expected more......*something* for the chapter of Xavier's death; but it came across just right. A just right amount of rightous indignantion from him, a just right amount of fear, I even snickered (probably evilly) when he protested to Logan 'you can't let her (Emma) do this!' Who's he kidding??

But this #48; wow. Just wow. Such a beautifully written piece given the circumstances that bring everyone to the places they are at. Kitty & Pete finally able to come together and put the evil old man that was stuck between them to rest. Jubes being able to get Hank to see that they now have choices to make *of their own free will*, Loan and Marie renewing their own personal vows to one another. The only thing I don't really know what to think about is Storm. The whole bit about her opinion of Logan becoming solidified due to his urinating on X's ashes. I can't really see her being that narrow minded. Maybe it's because she hasn't totally come to terms in her own mind of how culpable she is also in all of X's crimes and she's just misplacing her own guilt. But as far as "taking Marie down with him"; even /she/ has to see the Logan really saved her - in so many ways; the most telling of which is Marie's ability to control her mutation. Are you planning on bringing her fully around, Jo? I hope so, because someone as spiriual as Ororo *should* be able to eventually see it all, even her own faults and frailties, when put into the big picture.

Great read, really, Really, REALLY looking forward to the next chapters!!

That was a great update. The story itself was absolutley fantastic and i really cant wait to read more.

This getting really intense, and you're doing a grand job of the suspense.

It's so good to see them able to laugh again! I'm glad they've finally gotten to the meeting place; it'll be good to have the gang all together again.

(FYI - 4th paragraph from bottom, last sentence...I think you meant to say... "about to congratulate her on snagging Hank when Logan beat her to the punch." Not... "about to congratulate her on snagging Howard when Logan beat her to the punch.")



Author's Response: No honey, she got it *wrong* she thought Jubes was after Howard not Hank! Thats why Logan saved her bacon lol.

OH! Man! I can't believe I totally missed that!! DUH!

Aw, this was so touching. That whole last scene. The exchange of honest handshakes and how they are able to hope. *pets them*

Also was it a way for destiny to tell Jubes she would be seeing Logan soon or does Logan have cousins around? ;D

Author's Response: There ARE decent people out there you just have to look harder for them. Logan's luck had to change sometime didn't it? Not a cousin, something a little more familial....after all he *has* crossed the damn continent more times than the railway lines and he *isn't* a monk. LOL.
