Love this story, but this (chap 16 - Instinct) is def my fav :) love your interpretation of feral Rogue.
Just gotta say, I really enjoy all your fics. Love the detail level you have and the characterization is great. Thanks for writing such good stuff :D
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked it. I've written a feral Logan a few times before, but this was my first attempt at a feral Rogue. Glad you thought it worked. Thanks so much for your review! :-D

Absolutely fabulous. All of it. I often struggle with myself about how I would do feral!Marie (if it should arise in a story). I think your take is very interesting.
Author's Response: So glad you liked it! As much as I have Marie absorb Logan every story (I think it's such an integral part of her character to have Logan in her head) I don't think I've ever done a fully Feral!Marie. It was fun! Although it made me miss atmd more!

Applause to regularly updating writers!!! Just discovered this great story and would be quite upset if it never got to a close. :-)
Great plot, excellently paced story with a good balance of action and backdrop, observant and respectful characterisations. Really enjoy your easy sense of humour.
Hope Feral!Marie doesn't entice you into the cliché of mindless sex now...
Anyway, happy to find this story here; do keep on going!
Author's Response: Yay! So glad to have you on board, and thrilled to hear that you are liking the story so far. Especially that you think the pacing is appropriate -- I think it's amazing when I look back and realize my 16 chapters or whatever have only covered like a day and a half, but I guess that's a bad habit of mine, writing stories that are very time-compressed. I'm glad that you're liking the characterizations, and the humor. And don't worry, sad to say there is no mindless sex imminent. I'm having the opposite problem, in fact -- I have a little thing for mature and committed relationships, and these characters are having a hard time getting there! Thanks so much for reviewing, it's so nice to know I've picked up a reader, especially one whose opinion I respect so highly.

I know!!! Where is atmd??
But anyway, damn this was good. If this is what comes out then the weekly deadline is wonderful. I always think it must be so hard to write a person so animalistic. Harder still in Logan's case where he's balancing both aspects up there on the edge of his consciousness.
Can't wait to see more- especially how Marie will be when she surfaces (assuming she does). Love this story!
Author's Response: I know, right? First atmd taunts us by telling us "The Private Dance" is all written, and then she disappears! We need some kind of Rogan bat-signal to call people back when things get grim around here. At least Jaq came back, though. :-) I'm glad you liked this chapter despite the rush-job. I was having a hard time finding a balance between making Feral!Rogue's thoughts animal-like (e.g., not knowing all the words for things) without making it too confusing. I'm also interested to see how she reacts once she surfaces -- she manages to surprise me sometimes. :-D Glad you're liking the story, and thanks so much for being such a faithful reviewer!

The conversations between Hank and Logan always fascinate me. Writers often ignore Hank's own feral side. I am glad you addressed it in this chapter. It was just enough to remind the reader that Hank is more than just brilliant.
It was sweet that the sound that made Marie uncomfortable was her own name. :) They are going to be sooooooo awkward with each other once she gets the Wolverine in her head boxed up.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked Hank...I sometimes feel like the "voice" of Hank, Xavier, and Erik are all alike when I write them, because they are all so formal in their speech. But it's interesting, I think us Roganites think so much about the feral Wolverine, it's easy to overlook the feral in Hank. Especially because he's so cultured otherwise, and also I guess more simian than...lupine? I had to Google to see if he actually does have enhanced smell, because I had no idea if apes had a good sense of smell or not! Yeah, I think Marie has a lot of baggage related to "Marie" as opposed to "Rogue." I'm interested to see how that plays out as well!

Ah, I like it. This works. It works very well. Marie's feral voice is really evocative. Well done.
Author's Response: So glad you liked it! Thank you so much for all of your advice, and if I ever don't take any of it, know that it's out of sheer laziness rather than any lack of acknowledgment that your judgment truly is superior. :-D Hope you saw the dedication, I thought I had it in there last chapter, but apparently I was posting in a hurry then too and forgot it. :-P We are totally getting a second laptop for my birthday...
