That was really good. I am not a usual fan of angst really, but I have to admit that was well written and incredibly sad. I do agree with what Rogue did at the end and loved how you kept it realistic. A great read.

Can I swear? Good, cause this was f@@@ing amazing (in a heart breaking, sad, emotional way!”) I think you absolutely NAILED this chapter, got over exactly what you wanted this fic to convey. Beautiful is a strange word to use but it was beautiful to read, the emotion in each action/reaction, the depth given by having her thoughts running alongside, leaving no room for blame with the reasoning behind the situation from both sides, full of pain and hurt throughout but only realised by either at the end. Again, amazing, I adored this chappie - it almost killed off the die hard Rogan romantic in me, almost! :) very well done, though feel free to find your happy bunny after you’re done with this one!!
Author's Response: Lol, swear as much as you want. I do! I'm so glad you felt this chapter came across as I planned it - thank you!! :o)rnrnI'll send out a search party for my humour bunny. Maybe try and write something that revives the die hard Rogan romantics I've trampled on with this fic *guilt*

Wow, very powerful and heartrending. I'm glad that you didn't make Logan the bad guy--he tried to be there for her and be what she wanted but she's not the one he loves and they both know it. Sometimes no matter how much you try, you can't make it work and you can't control who you love either. I'm glad that your Marie was able to recognize the truth of the situation and make the hard choice. I'm looking forward to the epilogue.
Author's Response: Yeah, Logan's never been the bad guy where Marie's concerned. He's just not the right guy, either (gulp... I actually felt a wave of full on sadness when I wrote that *lol*. Who's in control of this damn fic? Make them stop!)

Hey,
Soo..they did go there, not surprised really, you did give us the heads up (which, if I didn’t mention before, I’m so grateful for)..and b/c of the warning, it hurt less..didn’t eliminate it, but made it bearable. Actually, for their first time, and considering their respective feelings regarding the other, it was so spot on, I would think this would be X3 canon if X3 had gone there.
I think the actual love making was done really well, he was gentle, tender, considerate, yet still passionate so I’m glad about that. She was true too, with all the various thoughts going through her at that moment. That said, since I don’t expect a Rogan HEA, after reading it, I thought, well, like a band-aid pulled off, at least it’s over. I can honestly say, since discovering Rogan fic 2 years ago, that’s probably the only time I’ve ever thought that about any type of Rogan hook up and am actually okay with it lol.
You’ve put me in this horrible quandary, I can’t even Logan rant, weeell.. apparently yes, I can :P. I know he didn’t start it, and went with it b/c he cares for her and knows what she went through..so, in his mind, he’s comforting and taking care of her, and he tried, with the breakfast and everything..but that doesn’t make his
?obliviousness (not even sure if that’s really it) any easier to deal with. What was with the-at least one of us can be happy crap? Is he sacrificing himself for her? Did he even think how that would make her feel? That she’d want his selfless “sacrifice” of himself so she could live with a pretend one-sided relationship where at least she’d get his body as his heart/soul’s apparently already taken? I’m happy Marie is mature, knows and respects herself and her love, enough to reject him and move on, it’s the harder road but (hopefully) ultimately the more rewarding one. More than anything, I’m just mad at him for taking her safe place away. HE’s been her safe place from probably the moment she met him, and if he’d gently shown her they shouldn’t go down that road, he still could be. Actually, now that I think about it, he did her a favor, she won’t have to pine every day for him now, time will heal her. All that said, surprisingly I don’t’ hate him, I know he’d never want to hurt her.. he’s just caught up in his own brand of misery and I feel bad that he’s losing out on this amazing girl. And, another first from this Rogan shippin’ girl, I’m hoping there’s a card wielding-red on black eyed guy coming up in the epilogue. Thanks so very much, your stories are so beautifully written, it’s always a pleasure.
Author's Response: "after reading it, I thought, well, like a band-aid pulled off, at least it’s over." Heh... There's a similar line to that in the epilogue *lol* I laughed at your comment about Logan ranting. Yeah, he's not the bad guy in this, but his 'at least one of us can be happy' line was a jackass thing to say. (Heh... I love writing arguments... is that wrong?!) He's all closed off and trying to do the right thing, but when pushed into an argument, he can say the most hurtful things without even meaning to. Basically, he's a man! And yeah, he's taken her safe place away. Or rather, actually, I think she needs to take half the blame for that herself. But it wasn't the most healthy safe place for her to be, so maybe it is time she moved on. Talking of which... I'd better tidy up the epilogue so I can post it as promised! Thank you for your feedback. I love reading it!

I was gonna write "wow" cause I was speechless, but I've found my voice again.
So very poetically beautiful. Very well written - as always. I think we can all relate to Marie's dilemma here; staying with the man she loves, but no love in return? Or leaving the man she loves and being lonely, but assertive? What does she want, indeed!
Sometimes - no matter what - you just can't love whats good for you. Logan will always love Jean, even if it makes him miserable.
10/10
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you found your voice again, because that was lovely feedback :o)

I really love this. It's so visceral and deep, and I can feel her pain so clearly myself through your writing. You're so good at having so much happen in one chapter, but yet at the end I'm still left wanting even more! It's so tough waiting to see where things are going, I feel as strung out with the waiting as she does with waiting on him. You're doing an amazing job with this story, thank you!
Author's Response: Thank you! There's only an epilogue left - so there isn't much more to go. Glad you've enjoyed it so far though :o)

Well, you know. That hurt, but not as bad as I expected. Maybe because you gave plenty of warning, maybe because I had a little buzz still going on from yummy Rogan sex, but more likely because it was Rogue's decision, and she made the right one. And he wasn't trying to hurt her, he wasn't stupid or callous or cowardly or even oblivious, any of the ways he could have screwed it up. She's just not the one he loves, and she knows better than to think that is workable. I'm proud of her, and it cushions the blow a little. Thanks so much for this wonderful fic. I'm anxiously awaiting the epilogue.
Most heart-cutting line:
“What?” he says, confusion clouding his vision. “I thought it was what you wanted.”
Author's Response: I could hug you. Your comments say all the best things! I was so worried about posting this last chapter that I edited it to death and back. Most of all I was worried Logan would be seen as the bad guy, when he's trying so hard not to be & I love that you said that! Thank you :oD I'm going to try and post the epilogue tomorrow, so you shouldn't have to wait too long for it.

This is why I don't do angsty stuff...*wipes a tear*
Not that it was your fault. I have to go with serafim and say I knew something like this would come based on the title and all your notes. And like a moth to a flame, I read it, read it again, and reread it some more.
Yes, although settling does seem tempting, I'm proud of Marie for taking things into her own hands and making a decision.
*wipes another tear*
Looking forward to the epilogue...
Thanks,
Pepper
Author's Response: I'm not an angst reader either usually, so I tried to give people fair warning. I'm so glad you're proud of Marie for her decision though - thank you! You shouldn't have to wait too long for the epilogue. Gonna try and post it tomorrow (in theory!)

You warned me. You did. From the title of this story, and throughout. Very upfront. And yet...*sigh*
No more. Please.
No More.
I am weeping. I knew to expect this, I knew you would make Rogue so real, and I am devastated. But, I am oh so proud of her. She. Deserves. Better.
Just to let you know, I read this several times before I could think clearly enough to write this review. So painful, and so beautiful. Stellar stuff.
Author's Response: *hugs* I'm sorry! I won't do it again. Promise. I absolutely love that you're proud of her though, thank you. I was a bit worried people would lynch me for writing this chapter the way I did, but I couldn't let her accept anything else. It would feel wrong. I'd feel like I'd let her down or something (character guilt... heh.. that's a new level for me *g*)

Oh my heart... my HEART. gahhh this chapter makes me cry for Marie. Though she's doing the right thing... the underlying emotion in this story is magical. Can't wait for the next chapter.

I'm sorry; have you seen my heart? It seems to have been run over and then set on fire. Or maybe set on fire, then run over.
This is really, really good. I love watching Marie move ahead with her life and figure out what she wants it to be. It takes a special kind of strength to do what she did. Looking forward to the epilogue.
Author's Response: Thnak you :o) I'm glad you're enjoying it (even if your heart's been run over... sorry about that!) You shouldn't have to wait too long for the epilogue. I'm hoping to get it posted tomorrow.
