Brilliant, as always. :D
Author's Response: Hope it stays that way! I'm almost done with the next chapter. I probably would have finished it tonight, but I got hooked reading all the excellent new Rogan I've missed. So much great stuff out there! We are such a lucky fandom.

I'm so glad you're back :D I missed your writing like you wouldn't believe. I'll be honest, I was a little confused with the time shifts, but I think I got it. You have such a way with words, really. You give us these vivid descriptions without bogging us down in too many words. That's just....just amazing - which is an understatement. You think of everything too - I like that you're really trying to work in Origins, despite how the movie kind of messes with the other X-movies.
Part of me is completely envious of your writing ability, but most of me is just dying to see where you take this. I'm just so, so, so glad you're back!
P.S. I'm with you about X3 issues. I think the entire WRFA is.
Author's Response: Thank you. :D Sorry about the time shifts. They're there to a) make me write more by making me write less (if that make sense); b) distinguish this work's style from Dark Side of the Moon (also 3rd person shifts between Rogue and Logan); and c) mirror how I would edit a fan vid based on these songs (I miss vidding like you would not believe!) Before I sat down to plan this fic, I actually wrote up a comprehensive timeline that reconciles Origins with the Trilogy and even the new First Class movie (e.g. how Emma Frost's character got recycled). I even cooked up a few Rogan coincidences pre-Trilogy, just because I'm that obsessed, haha.

Frig, I love this story. I almost didn't want to read this today because I read your last story in almost one go and I hate having to wait for this one.
Also, you make me want to bang my head against my desk because in a million years I'll never be able to write like this. I mean this in the most sincere way possible: You could probably describe grass growing and I'd eat it up ( the writing, not the grass)(not that that image is any less weird). I love your writing.
The way you write Logan is so perfect. Watching x3 is so difficult because the characters don't act at all in accordance to how we are used to seeing them, but reading stories like this make me a feel a lot better about it. The little behind the scenes looks make perfect sense. I love how much thought you've put into your descriptions, and that you share your reasoning with us. Please keep writing this, I cant wait to read more!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much. That means a lot to me. Logan's a lot harder to nail (er...thoughts drifting, ahem) than Marie (...also nice...) I'm so relieved he worked for you. I rewrote this chapter a bijillion times out of worry he wouldn't sound right, and a lot of the problem I had has to do with what you're saying about X3. The Logan who speechifies, "X-Men stand together" is jarringly heroic compared to the anti-hero who challenges, "There's a war out there. Sure you're on the right side?" I'm all for character development, but, man, X3 Logan just comes off as delusional. Hence why I blame the Professor, heh.

Oooo... I can't wait to read another chapter. I like your POV on the X3 stuff! =) Keep on writing!
Author's Response: Thanks! I will.
