I spent half of today poring over this story, slowly, to take it all in properly. ;) You're in my top favorite fanfic authors of all time, hon!
While this is not my fave fic of yours so far (brooding angst is not my thing), I'm loving all the movie & comics tie-ins. Caliban makes a good foil for Marie in the 2nd chapter; the character exploration you've done with Bobby thru just a few overheard messages & a conversation or two is masterfully executed; the subtlety of the way you've chosen to reveal Logan's deepest feelings gets me every time!
I totally agree with you on the Rolo implications of X3. Although, I'm actually a big RoLo shipper, also; though I think they make a much more natural couple in the comics, I can see the Berry/Jackman incarnations working out, too. Still, my fellow Southern gal gets precedence. :0)
I'm eager for your next installment!
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm really touched. And I'm so glad you found things to enjoy, even though it's not your (or my, for that matter) usual style. I'm finishing up the next chapter right now (then it's off to my new beta!) and I can promise a lot more action going forward. And Re: the RoLo 'shipping, Berry/Jackman do make a pretty couple in Swordfish. Plus, I have no room to judge because I can see Rogue with...everybody, haha. But I'm much pickier about Logan, so with him she stays. :D Great to have you on board!

You are the queen of comic/movie mashups. I don't know why I consult Marvel Wiki when there's you. You are one X-Men walking encyclopedia. This won't make sense, but I love how you craft this. It seems like everything is deliberate, but the seams from stitching it all together are hidden. You make it seem effortless. Do you have everything already planned out in your head or are you still developing the plot as you go along?
Author's Response: If you consult me, I'll consult Marvel Wiki then get back to you. My thought process is usually, "Hm, I need a mutant who goes like this," search, search, search, "Hm, what an interesting history. I'll bastardize it for my purposes." *g* Thing is, I tried to write this without plotting, just loosely following what I'd try to do if I made a song vid, but then things started to connect all nicely and then that became a plot...ugh, and now my series of stand-alones have morphed into to another epic. Bear with me, haha.

Another brilliant chapter. The amount of thought you put into your stories shows through in every line. I have a feeling I'm going to be reading this one more than once...:)
I loved the text messages, and the scene on the fire escape...and so much more, but those are the two things that are coming to mind right now. I can't wait for the next chapter! :)
Author's Response: The amount of thought you put into your stories shows through in every line. I'm so pleased you said that. Thank you so much. And please do reread! I don't have a beta, so I'm fixing grammar/clarity mistakes left and right, haha.

Oh, I adore this. I love it when really clever people can weave the various Universes together ... so much richness results, and a narrative depth that just the Movieverse doesn't offer. The moments with Cal and the other cured are just so poignant, and him flicking through her messages and knowing she has somewhere to go, and someone missing her ... that's so sad.
Not sad was my absolute favourite line in fic for a while: "No doctor ever vowed her case was hopeless, then turned around and left her with his dog tag, a promise, and really sensational suggestions to get herself off."
Yes. Amen. Poor mixed up Rogue. Now I want to know what was going on with Logan under that there tree, but I'm sure you'll get to that sometime soon *whistles idly*
Author's Response: I really don't know much about the comics, but I'm ridiculously bothered by continuity errors and obsessive about fixing just because I've been a fan of the movies for so long (has it really been ten years since X1 came out???) :D That line is one of my favorites, too, and the sentiment behind it will be explored in the next chapter (*smacks Logan*).

Love this chapter, and appreciate how thoughtful you are about tying things together. But poor, poor, Marie. That just hurt to read! Anxiously awaiting more...
Author's Response: I appreciate your appreciation. Much more to come, inshallah.

Oh, ouch. Seriously ouch. This is really good. You've done a great job of depicting Marie's struggle to control her life.
Author's Response: Poor Marie. Even without the voices she doesn't who she is/should/can be.
