First- I hope you are feeling better.

Second- My gosh, how I loved that they finally kissed. Simply just too emotional NOT to. (swoon)

Third- Amazing chapter. I adore this story.

Author's Response: First - Aww, thanks! Slow recovering, but it IS happening. The nice thoughts are appreciated :-D Second - Yay!! Glad the scene worked for, I figure we are about half-way through the story, so a kiss was in order ;-P Third - THANK YOU!! I'm so happy you are enjoying it so far.

This is really good. I love the structure you're using, with its back-and-forth through time. It parallels Rogue's mental state and also builds suspense very well.

Author's Response: THANK YOU! I'm glad that the structure is working for you, and not coming off as a distraction. I was hoping it would work exactly as you are saying it is, so that makes me insanely happy to hear!

Geesh, this fic is going to be the death of me! lol

Poor Rogue. Poor Logan.

And dang... the beginning (the before part) seemed so nice, like they were so on their way to "something".

"You got some happiness on your mouth there, Logan."

Sigh... I LOVE that line.

Author's Response: "the beginning (the before part) seemed so nice, like they were so on their way to "something"." *Nods* Agreed. I felt kind of bad for the little twist at the end, but it was always supposed to go that way, and I hadn't quite expected the whole before scene to be so darn nice! But I was happy with where it ended up, so I left it alone. And that line is my favorite in the chapter, so I'm glad that you liked as well!! Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to read and comment!

Oh no. This is going to HURT. I'm such a sook. I do love the idea of you weaving the before and after stories together - hopefully, some happy moments to relieve the sadness of the other thread. Wonderful writing, beautiful storytelling.

Author's Response: "I do love the idea of you weaving the before and after stories together" I'm very happy to hear that, as that is the format for the whole story :-D I wasn't certain how it was going to go over, but it seems like people are liking it, which is wonderful. Thank you so much for the lovely comments, and for takign the time to leave them!

I swear I am just captivated by your story. Each chapter holds me utterly spellbound until I finish, and then I can hardly wait for the next.

Author's Response: That is a lovely compliment. Really it is. Thank you! Here's hoping that the next update keeps your interest.

This chapter was wonderful. Liked the very natural, believable feel to the first half, the right balance between what is essentially friendship/trust and the unknown deeper feelings lurking beneath the surface. The second half again was wonderful – pain coming across to the reader from both sides – loved the haunting feel to 'all gone' so simple yet very, very effective,

A couple of extra specials:
‘Needle-sharp teeth of uncertainty gnawing away at him as he waits’
‘His frustration tangles uselessly with the remaining threads of his patience.’
All bow down to the great use of words in these two lines – off the scale good!

Keep it coming because it’s beautiful to read, look forward to the next chapter x

Author's Response: Again, THANK YOU for pointing out what lines you liked! It is oh-so-helpful to hear that sort of thing, helps keep the inspiration levels up. I'm also thrilled that you felt their relationship seemed to flow naturally. I really was hoping it would come across that way, so that about made my morning to read. I'm happy that you are still on-board with the fic, and thank you for taking the time to comment!!

Oh my goodness, this fic is so good!

I loved the first part, taking us back in time a bit.

The second part.... POOR ROGUE! That last line is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time.

Simply amazing.

Author's Response: *bounces* Thanks so much! I'm glad that you liked the 'back in time' part, as there will be a segment like that in every chapter. And Rogue has had a rough ride, that's for sure.

This is going to be intense it seems! I can't wait to read more and see what happened to Marie and what Logan has gone through to get her back...keep up the great work!

Author's Response: "This is going to be intense it seems!" I hope so! At least, that's what I'm aiming for :-) Thank you for taking the time to read and review, it means a lot.

Oh my goodness, that may be the most heartbreakingly beautiful thing I have ever read, please say you aren't going to leave it there.

Author's Response: Oh, wow, thank you so much! I promise that I am not leaving it there. Definitely a few more parts to this one coming up!

I am loving what you are doing. The connection that they have for each other is perfect. I love both characters and how you portray Marie's state of being (state of MIND would be inapropriate)

Logan needs her. It is so good. Please keep going. I kinda hope this will be a long one. Filled with EVERYTHING .... and maybe some smut if you feel like blessing us.

Great job and keep going

Author's Response: Thank you!! I'm thrilled to hear that their connection came through, despite them not even being in the same room during the chapter. That is awesome to hear. I don't have this plotted out to be terribly long, but I do think it will be meaty, so hopefully that will act as a trade off :-D

Love the paragraph you picked to summarize - what a taster to tease. I’m a great fic reader, not so great with chapter reading after years of not doing it I have been persuaded to give it a go lately, as long as the updates are regular I’m ok! This summery was so good I went past intrigued, it got to me and here I am again not waiting for the fic to be complete before I start!

3 strong lines that I loved right at the beginning - ‘peeling at the layers that bind her, wrap her, hide her’ ‘phantom sensation of touch’ ‘this hazy, gritty, cracked reflection is all that remains.’. Her pain visible through each paragraph. A different kind of pain for Logan but clear again through your words.

Great start, please tell me you don’t plan on leaving huge expanses of time between each update! x

Author's Response: THANK YOU! I'm glad that I was able to pull you in with that teaser, and that you found more lines in the fic that kept you intrigued. Here's hoping that I can keep that up! (And thank you for pointing out which lines you really liked, that helps a ton!)rnrnI don't plan to leave huge expanses of time between updates (the next couple of chapters are mostly written, just trying to polish; and I have the whole thing plotted out), but sometimes RL can be a bear (for instance, I was without a computer for almost all of the last two days - so not much got done during that time!) so there may be small gaps as a result.

Oooh, I'm loving it. I'm a sucker for psychodrama, and this looks like its going to be very, very good in that department. The tone of the piece is just perfect for that - the hesitation and the repetition suggests the fractured mind struggling to make sense of the world. I must confess I actually stopped after reading Rogue's bit; I was surprised to see more. (Though Logan is always a GOOD surprise). His lurking and pacing in his helplessness was done nicely - very evocative and faithful to his character. Will stop now in case my review is longer than your story ... can't wait for the rest.

Author's Response: "The tone of the piece is just perfect for that - the hesitation and the repetition suggests the fractured mind struggling to make sense of the world. "rnrnTHANK YOU for this! When I first wrote it, I loved how it came across, but then when I was posting I started to doubt that it would work well for others, so it is nice to hear that I wasn't too far off the mark. rnrnAnd glad to hear that Logan was a happy surprise :-) I debated included that in this section or not but decided that ultimately, it was needed to have the opening make any kind of sense! rnrnThank you so much for taking the time to read and comment!
