I stand amazed.
Shocked, SHOCKED, like a Democrat! (heh heh, yes that's a Rush Limbaugh joke; sorry if it went over your head)

...neeways, the point is, I can hardly review b/c I've been rendered speechless by your brilliance! Did you by any chance read Jenn's "Jus Ad Bellum" recently? Not that I think you're copying, but your Logan's personality, and the philosophical bent he shares w/Rogue, managed to strike almost *exactly* the same tone as the Xmen in that story...who are ALL war survivors. And I *LOVE* the mood this story puts me in!

Boy, do I wish you would FINISH this monster, already! Get to it, girl, so I can fritter another day away immersed in your imagination! ;)

Whimper...sooooooooooooo, now I need more. A lot more. More than is actually reasonable to ask for. Like, enough to drown myself in for months at a time without surfacing. Thank you for the cherry. The clifffhanger has me biting my nails from curiosity about Rogue's influence in the speech. And that, for some odd reason, strikes me as funny. Thar Rogue, for all her antisocial behaviors and intense privacy to the point of not speaking all that much if given her druthers, has nitpicked what should be one of the most watched speaches in their nation. You make me smile. Thank you.

Author's Response: I will most likely try to finish it... ~guilty look~ eeeeventually. Life and, admittedly, a little ship called Sparrington have long since dragged me away in their evil clutches. I still do like this story, and I remember how it ends, and how I was planning to get from this chapter, all the way to the ending, but I've not since then been able to sink into it and sort of become one with the mindset of the story so that I might actually write it.rnrnI do love my super-snarky, antisocial hacker!Rogue, and her juxtaposition of traits so that she has great perspicacity when it comes to reading people and politics, but still tends toward the misanthropic. You're more than welcome.

Awww possessive Logan really likes being the first ;)

Hot. Veeeery hot.

A lovely bit of smut tidied in between two pieces of plot. Marvelously done! My favorite part of this chapter has to be the moment where Logan pulls Rogue into his lap, thereby causing her barely restrained squeal. That really made me smile. Marie's still under there. :)
