Yikes, I have three for this one. I'm going to have 10 per chapter by the end if I don't rein myself in!
This:
He would always remember the way she turned her head. Pressed her face into his side. The bump of her little nose. Eyelids scrunched tightly closed. Hiding when protests hadn't helped her. Logan pretended she was nuzzling him.
and this:
He thought she was recovering. Not in the normal sense of the word, but as those in this city recovered. Drawing into themselves, maintaining their bodies and letting everything else fall away, in preparation of the next assault. Like the farmers who set fire to their crops to defy a looting army.
and this:
It was a test. An apology. A thank you. A whatever-you-wanted-to-call-it, from the incomprehensible mind of sad teenage girls.
All of them, exactly perfect.
P.S. - sorry for the delay, my husband snagged the laptop, but thanks to insomnia I'm up at 1 a.m. with plenty of time to finish. My subconscious must have known another chapter was on its way...
Author's Response: You'd never see me complain if you were to do ten. But even one is happy-dance inducing, so thank you!!!

See, she mentioned Hooters again...
Oh Wolvie, cut it out. Go dive into my plot bunny folder and find something to do in there while I review.
Oh... THAT folder.:)
Yah know this chapter was more interesting to me. While I read it I was listening to Riders On The Storm by The Doors and then right after Here Comes The Sun by George Harrison and it made the chapter more interesting to me, no matter how long or short the chapter was.
Try it... You might like it.
Linda and Wolvie signing off. Ugh. 5:20am.
.:)
Author's Response: That so? Huh. I'll try them out.

Author's Response: Thank you.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your friend. I know just how shocking and surreal it is to get that phone call..."I don't know how to tell you this, but..." followed by knees that cease to function and sounds that are only remotely human...It's been four years and I wish I could tell you that the pain goes away, but it doesn't. You just get better at living with it. OK, so now that I've covered the A/N, I'll go read the chapter...
"And she never, never fell asleep without adding fresh tears to the ones already shed." See? Now that's what I'm talking about...Anybody else would have said, 'She cried every day.' Which is why I wish I had a million real dollars to give you so you could sit and write that amazing prose all day and not need that writing-time-stealing necessary evil known as a job...One more chapter to go...Yeehaw! --Wendie

Another awesome chapter, beautifully written and so full of agony for the pair of them that I just want to cry myself to sleep. But wait, what's this? Oh, she's gone into his room! And wow, she actually trusts him enough to lie beside him in bed. I am now so full of hope that I just cannot wait for the next chapter! Please update soon!!
Author's Response: Not quite fineshed agony-wise just yet. Hang tight, and thank you a billion times for this.

Firstly, I am sorry to hear about your friend. Life can be inexplicable and cruel.
“Sometimes she wished he would hurry up and hurt her, do whatever he wanted. She needed to get used to it.” – I’ve said it before, but you seem to know the words to break my heart. And there it is again. You deal with poor Rogue and her horrific experience so carefully, sensitively and unrushed, which is precisely how it should be handled.
“By the end of the program he could say how many times her eyes had watered, but not which team had won.” – I can just picture this scene, so moving.
I am SO excited that chapter ten may be up soon. I will keep checking for my alert like the crazed fan-girl I have become...
Author's Response: When I got home and saw the new review, I chanted, "Please be Comic-Cake. Please be Comic-Cake. Please be Comic-Cake. Please be--". And yay!! Thank you for being so kind. Im ALMOST done with chapter ten; I was only able to use the computer for an little while this morning. I had a dentist appointment--an hour of fingers and drills in my mouthe; the entire right side of my face is numb. Fun times. But I WILL have the chapter up today. I swear on Hugh Jackman.

This review is for free on account that when you convert dollars into pounds it doesn’t look quite so good!!
The first few para’s of this chappy get voted as outstanding, absolutely beautifully written, in depth and hard hitting. ‘The girl really didn't care. But she couldn't seem to send that message to the rest of her body’. Special mention for that bit because I loved that line.
This is all so new to him, so foreign - he doesn’t understanding why he’s doing it yet he wants it, craves it even, is even bribing for it - ‘A rather expensive cinnamon bun when he'd brushed his lips across her knuckles and she hadn't pulled away.’
I’m intrigued by the nightmare, could be hers or his. But, ‘He didn't see the shocked look that came over the girl's face and would have misinterpreted it even if he had.’ - would like to think she has a better understanding of what he is/can be compared to the way he is with her. No doubt I’ll find out but you really do get me thinking up all kinds of scenarios which is hard for the brain so early in the morning!
(Really tried not to do another rambling review – I guess I failed.....again....will try again with chapter 10 ) which btw cannot be posted soon enough :)
Sorry about the loss of your friend x
Author's Response: I will be greatly disappointed if you don't ramble--it makes me happier than Yogi Bear with a hundred picnic baskets...I'm very glad the opening came out well; I wrote and rewrote it several times. Good job on her dream--I don't think anyone else really picked up on that. Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy chapter ten.

HOLY SHIT! She actually got into the bed with him? That is a huge ass step for someone who has gone through what she has. I really can't wait to read the next chapter. I hope she learns to trust him fully, it would be a real shame if she didn't.
Author's Response: Thanks! I really hope you enjoy the next chapter!!!

I don't want dollar, I just want another chapter.
It's 6.30 in France, everybody sleep and I'm reading your story with a coffee. It's gonna be a good day.
Author's Response: Thank you for making me smile at the computer screen. You have a real talent for that.

Hey Rose!!
Great chapter! I really loved it.
Fav' line: " All of his pre-programed comforting techniques were those of an animals, and required the skills of his flesh."
I love the Logan you're painting in this story and all the tenderness he so grudgingly develops for our Girl!
Can't wait for next chapter!!

Author's Response: Keep leaving reviews like this and I'll be forced to track you down just so I can hug you in person. Muchas Gracias and a virtual hug.

Sorry to hear about your friend... but you still managed to pound out another amazing chapter. Don't know if I could have done it. Loved how this one ended. Glad to see she's trusting him again.
Author's Response: >hugs< Thank you. I am so very glad to know you liked it.

Oh Em Gee. Those first sentences. That's just...well...I can't tell you how great just those first sentences were...you used up all the good words & I've got none left to tell you how much your writing rocked in this chapter.
I deeply appreciate how dead on your description is of the mind-body disconnect someone would experience after what Marie's been through.
"Hiding when protests hadn't helped her. Logan pretended she was nuzzling him." Some of my insides actually ached at the last line.
And the lines about recovery, drawing into herself like anyone who grew up there would do. Then...then you threw in the line about the crops & a looting army....that's up on my list with the very first sentences of this chapter. Brilliant. Your best writing in this chapter. Really. This is pretty gritty & I love that you're digging deep & just going there.
(Sorry about the multiple deletes & resubmits of this review - the site is being weird for me)
I'm sorry about your loss & tough couple of weeks. I'm hoping some reviews & thoughts of nakie-Logans help crack a smile now & then.
Author's Response: The site gremlins (or maybe it's the ghost of Jean?) always have it in for you, don't they? Even though they/she don't seem to like seeing you succeed in posting, I'm always ecstatic. Thank you so very much. You have a gift for making me bounce in my chair.

Wonderful. Seriously. I really can't find anything in this story that I don't like. Dependent Rogue works for me in this case (and normally I have issues with it) - but this is probably because I know just how much rape can traumatize a person. And Logan is behaving so gallantly. Really - well done on all accounts. Rogue's reaction is completely believable, Logan's care for her not at all OOC in the world you've created, and the writing nearly flawless. Thanks for the update! And I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Take all the time you need to mourn - we totally understand!
Author's Response: I've been sitting here (when I should be typing up a certain something else) trying to think of a way to write thank you, since you cannot hear my happy screams. But there's nothing suitable for just how grateful I am. Thank you. >hugs very, very tightly<
