Argh, you're killing me, because I know where it is going, but these wonderful moments between them just raises my hopes because you can see how if only...if only...if only...
Dammit. Anyway, that's what makes this fic great. It's not easy, or tied up neatly, or the way things should be, but it's very real. As much as my poor Rogan heart hates it, my mind admires it very much. Anyway, the pivotal lines are these:
A strange look crosses his face. “I see,” he says. And for the first time, I know that he knows.
He sees me.
My heart just clenched with those lines, feeling what Marie would feel at that exposure. Really great.

Digging the whole dark, grim mansion/mission life. I dont know how I feel about Logan's note? But when Marie throws it away and takes it back to keep it.. reminds me of myself. Liked the chapter :)

I always have to prepare myself emotionally before I set down to read your stories. I almost feel protective of your Rogue - wanting to slap everyone for forcing her to be the mature one here - the one who needs to be real while the rest gets to barge through their lives and emotions to the detriment of her.
I am so happy you took her out of New York - and I am so happy she got to claim a mission on her own. To get to be "her".
He sees me.
Indeed. Love it, as always. Beach lounging seems to agree with the muses that reside in you, my dear! ;)
Author's Response: "Beach lounging seems to agree with the muses that reside in you, my dear!" Ah-ha! I should definitely do more of it then. It'll be a hardship, but I'll try to cope ;o)rnrnIf you feel protective of Rogue, then I'm going to hide from you when I finally get round to posting the last chapter.. heh.. *omghides*rn

It feels when you read this chapter that Rogue is sliding from her carefully constructed hiding place – each section taking her further towards the truth and further down the slope so to speak. Love that the peace and quiet of being alone meant she could feel the subtle change in her skin. Something about truly being out on your own I think – it’s easy to imagine that no matter how hard she tried she wouldn’t find the freedom/space/peace to be that aware if she had stayed.
Love the average quotes about the motel and the “Maybe I'm just average, too.” I found this line so sad, again just lowering her level slightly from before.
Fav lines are two from the end. The first because it showed a glimmer of hope in herself “They let me guide them. Hands clasped on to my hands. No gloves. Just trust and terror all mixed up” and the second because I think this is the one of most believable explanations of a situation I’ve read in a long time “Seven people who's lives I have helped save today. And I'm not sure how to handle that. Or what to make of it.”
Really liked this chapter, glad you enjoyed the beach (lucky you) however selfishly glad you’re now back cause I’d really like more of this asap!
Author's Response: "...The first because it showed a glimmer of hope in herself" I absolutely love that you said this. Thank you! Because that's exactly what I was trying to convey with that part. She's not there yet, not by a long shot, but it's a turning point. It's a tiny bit of self confidence *g*rnrnI have a few tweaks to do on the last chapter (and I'm a bit worried about it!) so it'll probably be the weekend before it's up.

I think it's Logan that needs to grow up - Rogue is done with it, she's just learning to be an x-men and that's not fun.
Great chapter!

I love how real you're making this. How gritty and emotional. Its impressive and keeps me waiting for the next chapter.

Awesome chapter. Love the fact that Rogue went in there and was able to be a hero by herself and didn't end up the damsel in distress.

I am so intrigued by what you are doing here. The scene between Logan and Rogue was soo interesting, it was like he wanted to do something but then when he saw her face...I don't know. I am huge fan of happy endings but I am heeding the angst warning and trying to not hold out too much hope (and I am probably failing just like Marie) Thank you for the update. Glad to hear you had a good holiday.
Author's Response: "it was like he wanted to do something but then when he saw her face..." He doesn't like to see her hurt, bless him. So he's torn and not really sure what to do. He tries to fix it, and probably ends up making it worse. Or at least, that's how it worked in my head *lol* Sorry about all the angst. Maybe I'll write something fluffy next to make up for it *g*

Nice. I always like it when Rogue takes a road trip - even if it's in the middle of angsty mucky lifeness (descriptive, right?). I'm pissed at Logan on her behalf. Is that allowed? Will DD revoke my Rogan card? I'm starting to get worried that this won't end in some form of a happy Rogan way :/
Author's Response: Angsty mucky lifeness is perfectly descriptive *g*. Go ahead & be pissed at Logan, I know I am! But then, he's also trying his best given the circumstances, so I also could hug him for trying to do the right thing... I'm very conflicted *lol*. Good job I'm not driving this thing. No, wait...
