Ooof. Can't quite remember if I've fedback (feedbacked?) before - sorry if I'm repetitive. This is one dark story altogether, and a great challenge to Rogan fans because the characters are so hard to like. A very good, much-too-often neglected exercise. Didn't like Jean and Xavier either, but am now wondering how reliable Rogue is in her assessments. Glad and intrigued about the different shards of personalities in Rogue and Logan. He knows her rather well - wouldn't have expected so much knowledge unconnected to his purposes, but maybe Rogue's assessment of his calculations was not quite right, either.
In any case, it's surprisingly sympathetic, and I wonder if he knows that.
As painful as this is to read, I hope you'll manage to keep the twisted souls. It's good to remember that there's people like that, without the release of clear categories.
And am really grateful for that unexpected spark of humour at the end. It was much needed and appropriately cherished.

Apologies for not keeping up, been away from the site for a while and am now frantically trying to catch up! Loving the background you’re laying down, little glimpses of what was, what was said/taught and what happened etc. Love the differences/similarities between Wolverine and Sabertooth how she has and still has to deal with them with varying levels of success, also loving the kind of separation between Rogue and Marie and how Logan sees it.
Then there’s the sexual tension………..which I have to say you’re writing very well indeed!
Author's Response: It's always fun to come back after a break and gobble up a few chapters at once, isn't it! Glad it was worth coming back to :D

ROWR. What a scene, hon. You are draaaaaagging the tension out and I'm eating it up. Plus, the fact that Logan can still tell the difference between Marie/Rogue AND that he stepped to acknowledge that walking away had been a bad idea is really making me look forward to that happy ending. But until then any angry sex you wanna throw our way is just fine with me. Hee.
Author's Response: Glad you are enjoying it. Might draaaaaag it out a bit longer, but I'm pretty sure its not too far away. Angry or not, that is the question ...

OH MY GOODNESS!What a mean evil witch to leave us dangling from that little cliff! Loving the internal dialogue almost as much as the external.
Author's Response: Sorry, I don't mean to be mean :D All about the anticipation, you know ;)

Yum! I liked it a lot! Very interesting to see the difference between how Rogue is appearing to Logan (her takedown of Joe, for example) and how she is really feeling about things. And their fight was very...intense.
I was confused about this, though: “Rogue,” he corrected, sliding his tongue down over her ear. “I’m not going to pretend I don’t want her.” He pressed closer, his hardness nudging her somewhere that might her convulse and gasp. “But I can’t pretend I don’t want you either.”
Is the first "her" Marie, because he used that name and then corrected himself? I guess I'm not used to thinking of them as so separate, but Logan really does seem to feel that way. Very cool story, can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Yes, that's right. He's trying to keep it all about Rogue, atm, because Marie is scared to be Marie, basically. I can't seem to get away from the multiple-personality aspect to her mutation, and often write her that way. And in this particular story, where that aspect of her mutation might have arisen from trauma, it could almost be a disassociative thing. Quite a few of my stories revolve around that difference between Marie and Rogue.

Holy crap, that was hot. Not a wrong step in the chapter. Your writing style is exactly appropriate for the story you're telling--this Rogue and this Logan don't mince words or use silly euphemisms for body parts.
I love the backstory you're filling in here, and I love the anticipation between them. No rush to get them into bed if the extended foreplay is going to be this plot-rich and intriguing and just plain hot.
Author's Response: thank you - glad you enjoyed it! I simply don't can't see Logan and Rogue as being that way,so it's probably less style and more the way I think of the characters. I'm open to arguments as to whether or not I have any sort of writing style at all! Glad you are enjoying the backstory - I'm enjoying the chance to think about what brought them to this place, and all the little detours along the way ...
