I really enjoy your story.
Your writing style and your ideas are quite good.
Seems to me I have another favorite story.

Oh, WOW! This is possibly the best I've ever seen of the inside of Jean's mind! Yes, wanting someone to such a breathtakingly insane degree is rough to take, isn't it? Extremely well observed, her insights regarding Logan/Wolverine. I'm quite relieved to get a view of an intelligent woman here, not the rather ghastly picture Rogue presented of her earlier.

And this chapter has quite a number of remarkable lines. "The type of man who would fuck you into the floor and not even offer you a hand up afterwards." Quite an apposite way of delienating lust and love.
And in the same vein, the difference between love and romance: "It sounded like music, and felt like a car crash." No, indeed, love doesn't always play nice, and doesn't at all times involve little flying guys with cutsie wings and bows. No.

Rogue's underestimating her younger self, and she's underesrtimating Marie. Why, I wonder? Too used to being a victim? It can be quite a warm cloak, that role. Set with the shards of early dreams on the inside, but warm nonetheless.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them, despite knowing how much of a monster love can be.
Oh, and for Jean! I kinda like her. Really, REALLY don't envy her the place in the garage right now, with a good chance to be discovered by a hot Wolverine. Or a hotter Rogue. Or, worst of all, by a bewildered, defensive Rogue.

erm... ew! I ain't stroking your anything. I'll leave that to Rogue and Wolverine xXx

Author's Response: Stoking, darlink. Stoking. I leave it up to Wolverine to do the stroking ...

Hey, I forgot to mention that I appreciate the more nuanced portrayal of Jean here. I'm not a Jean-hater (I guess that puts me in the minority on this site, huh? ;) ), so it's nice to see this.

Author's Response: Glad you approve! I'm not one for huge prejudices against any particular character, I tend to take it as it comes storywise, but I was surprised how sympathetic this turned out. She's horny, yes, but she is more than that, and maybe we'll see her rise to the occasion down the track in this story. But I reserve the right for her to be a total heinous bitch, too ... I'm not always in the driver's chair when the bunnies bite!

‘That man, today – he had been a construct. Something else lurked underneath the smooth manners and cold efficiency – something so well guarded, so hidden, that she would have never known it was there. Fear prickled up her spine. What kind of man was he, to be able to control that? To be able to command it?’
loved how you wrote her thoughts at the beginning, working out and realizing everything she didn’t know.
‘She wondered how long she was willing to sit there, not waiting.’ Loved this line!! oh yeah, she wants him, and unlike skybound I can’t stand her, so really enjoyed the fact that she had to watch whilst Rogue got everything she wanted and handled the true Logan/Wolverine [double meaning not intended :) ] that she was scared of would not have been able to.

As for the smut – your too damn good at it to be asking for forgiveness – none needed.

Author's Response: The "not waiting" line was probably my favourite in the entire chapter. It just seemed so important to this character, to not admit to herself that she was waiting on a guy, you know? Glad you enjoyed the smut. I hope to be a little more even handed in the next chappy - plot, nicely leavened by smut ;)

Ya know, there is nothing better than coming back after a long stint of not being able to read your favorite fanfics, only to discover delicious tidbits like this chapter (oh, and the cage-fighting before hand ;-P).

For starters, I ADORE Jean (I know, I'm one of the few, but I really do love the woman!) so I always a appreciate seeing her portrayed as something OTHER than uber-bitch, so THANK YOU for this chapter. I think you've given some nice insight into her here, while giving a lot of fantastic characterization on both Wolverine and Rogue (not to mention hot, because it totally was). I really do like that she realizes in this chapter how much Logan is keeping hidden from them all, and I really like how the scene on the bench followed up from the scene in the cage. We knew it was going to end up there, but DAMN, it was still VERY intense.

And the flashback to how it was the first time Rogue kissed Logan, and his growled 'Do it again'? *shivers* Very easy to see that scene in my head. Can't wait to see the aftermath of this one, and find out more about what happened between the two of them.

Author's Response: So glad you enjoyed it. As I said for baybelle, I really enjoyed writing from Jean's perspective, and I suspect she'll be back in the not-so-distant future. And the "do it again" scene ... just finished writing Logan's perspective on that for the next chapter :D

Wow. Forgive you for the smut? I'll try. ;-) This was superb. Poetic, and raw, and sexy as hell. I love this:
a hot tide of honest appreciation, and the warm buzz of amusement
and
The type of man who would fuck you into the floor and not even offer you a hand up afterwards.
and

Rogue and the Wolverine. It sounded like music, and felt like a car crash. They were at terminal velocity, hurtling through the night, towards something inevitable.
and
the languor seeping into her blood was punctuated by the memory of his voice
And, well, just about every line in that description of their kiss. Bravo, my friend. Just awesome.

Author's Response: I used to have an ongoing argument with another writer (Laenwyn) about poetry. I know I can do raw and sexy, but she thinks that has its own poetry, whereas I'm still not sure. I'm generally happy with a few corker lines in a fic that bring everything to a head ... and yes, "the type of man" is another one I'm happy with, along with that entire flashback. Glad you enjoyed it!

I love this!! I especially like the little tidbit of Jean before we get to the good stuff, :).
Anyway, I am enthralled by this story and all of the undertones of Rogan. I can't wait to see a more intimate scene between Logan and Rogue, one I know might not be coming for a long time if the development of the story is to be preserved, wherein they are rehashing what it was that tore them apart (as friends, partners, and possible lovers) after an intense confrontation with the Brotherhood.

Update soon and feed US with deliciously written updates.

Author's Response: Jean surprised me. I started off writing her bitchy, but her curiousity about Wolverine took over, and her intellect became quite an interesting filter. So I am quite proud of those fews paras ... not to mention, as "back off, bitch" goes, it's quite effective! I'm not sure when Logan and Rogue will be able to regain intimate. There is a lot of plottiness to come, and it could be some way down the track. Or something might come along to help them cut through all the BS. I'm not a great planner, so I'm in the dark too!

...

Sorry, BRB. Going to take a cold shower.

(Girlfriend, if it's all going to be like this, you can indulge in smut any time you want. Damn!)

The last few chapters have been plot-heavy, so a character-heavy chapter doesn't go amiss. Or smut-heavy, as the case may be.

The mansion, looming like her future.

This image really struck me for some reason. I like it.

Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it. I will be fairly likely to indulge on a regular basis, but I do have to take care not to let it take over. Smut is pretty easy for me to write, especially with these characters, and sometimes I get lazy and fill entire chapters with it. (OK - entire stories!!!) But this piece has more potential than that, and I will try to refrain. rnrnAnd I like that line, too. It suggests a reckoning to come, don't you think?

Wolverine and Rogue. Rogue and the Wolverine. It sounded like music, and felt like a car crash. They were at terminal velocity, hurtling through the night, towards something inevitable.

That sentence could be like 'ship manifesto in and of itself. Fantastic writing.

And you are hereby forgiven for any and all indulgences into smut. Yowsa.

Author's Response: tbh I thought that line was a bit trite, too many cliches, but I kept it anyway. Too prideful, I am. But you are right that it summarises the relationship quite nicely (well, the relationships I tend to write, anyway!) And thanks for absolution ;)
