Heh, the last line was very badass. They are going to be an attractive couple walking down the street aren't they?

*pets them*

Aw, if Marie really turns into a vampire, their relationship is going to be even more interesting.

Good thing the muses haven't yet quit whispering about this one into your ear.

Did I mention, yay another chapter? :D

Can't wait to find out what will happen next!

good stuff, wolverine's take on this?

Author's Response: *HOWLLLLLLLlll...*

Whoa. Very interesting development. I confess, I haven't been following this fic as much. It's not my favorite AU scenario or my favorite Marie, perhaps, which just means we have different tastes. (Which you know already :P)

But now it's getting very interesting, I think. Marie - a vampire? Not just Logan fighting the animal, but Marie, too. But I think what makes this most interesting to me is Logan's moral dilemma.

In your fics, Logan often has a keen sense of right and wrong, even if that's his own path, and even if he breaks his own rules. His rule about not sleeping with kids, for example, will never be broken, but he'll also always keep adult Marie, even when he's sure he doesn't deserve her. So his moral complexity/ambiguity/flexibility is always interesting to watch.

But I think this may be the first fic in which he believes in something *first*. In the other fics, Marie is usually his salvation, maybe? Or he may believe in survival; sometimes not even that. But here - he believes in being a hunter. He had to wrestle with that belief when he had the beast within himself, but maybe he didn't have to wrestle *all* that much: he still killed that brother, he still stayed with claude, he still slept with Marie, made a deal with the Wolverine. He never considered (or Marie persuaded him not to) kill himself, as the hunter in him might have him do.

Maybe he accepted it because Marie did: the balm to his soul, loved in spite of it, and protected from it even, with her medicine.

But now we've got a real Logan dilemma - that repulsive steely sneer when he allowed her to drink from him, the hard way in which he says 'don't expect a refill', the way he planned not to take the cure...He will do anything for Marie. Maybe he's just discovering that he might even let her live with the vampire in her. He'll feed her. If she needed it, would he kill for her? Allow her to feed on others? Would he kill her? She's everything that the 'hunter' is against. Maybe he's discovering he'd be willing to do a lot more than he ever thought possible.

I don't know. But I found this chapter to be incredibly fascinating. Looking forward to where this story goes next.

he hates her. and he know she does. we i know he REALLY doesnt but i dont like it. exceptional story. i wake up every morning to see if you updated. it's really my favoret story.

Question: how do you vote for a story for verious awards

Author's Response: This story I update from friday to sunday, because with this one I have to do some thinking. So no need to loose any hours of sleep. :) Don't really know how the voting works. If you're talking about Reader's Choise awards, that's an event held every year, and this year it has been held already. There were polls at WRBeta.

I'm sorry I just don't see this dilemma as a bad thing *snicker* oh what fun they could have. (yep i said it!!). luv the story so far (yeah!!!)

Hmmm those blue lines... do they sound yummy to Marie?

Author's Response: At the moment she's just confused.

Oh, you are just being mean. Go, Logan, kill the bastard! In the name of Marie and Demitry!!

Hmmm interesting little town... no boys around hmmm very interesting.

Ohhh..mysterious....makes my mouth water for the next chapter

Oh, it one of those naughty, naughty towns... Yay! Is it okay that I imagine the bar-keep dude with a glass eye?

Author's Response: It's okay. He's not one of those chars I'll be describing too closely. He'll be popping around from time to time for a while. :)
