Oh, so intense. I love coming in on the middle of the story. Such and interesting dynamic.
Author's Response: So glad you liked it! I wasn't sure if the mixed-up timeline would work, but my original idea for the story was just a few short impressionistic scenes about the fallout from this decision they all made. Of course, that's before the Rogan-chapter-that-ate-Manhattan grew out of control. ;-)

Oh ouch Logan!
Author's Response: Yup. Harsh!

ouch. but then again, he deserves it. i only hope jean gets hers just as good. i hope scott doesn't take her back, if she would've slept with *any*one, then she doesn't deserve to be within 100 feet of him. great update, can't wait to read the next update with marie. i hope she doesn't make it easy on logan...
Author's Response: Yeah, I think a lot of this fic is watching Logan's ego take a beating. As for Jean, I don't think it's as bad as she made it sound...she is just pushed to the limit by Logan's assumption that he was so irresistible that she couldn't help but give in to his persuading. Even in his shame, he has the arrogance to think that it was all about him, and she is both telling him the truth and taking him down a peg. He thinks that he talked her into it because she was just conveniently there, and she is telling him he was just as much of a convenience to her. It wasn't about some great depth of feeling or even attraction she had for him, and she resents his assumption that it is.

Wow. She's kinda a bitch. I don't feel as bad for her as I did...
Curious to see what happens next...
Author's Response: She did come off awfully bitchy there, but I think we'll see that there are other things driving Jean. Part of what made this idea stick in my head was the compelling sense of both shame and arrogance you get from the narrator (the guy singing the song). He's ashamed of what he's done, realizes he has wrecked lives, but at the same time...there's this sense of unbridled ego. The refrain over and over is "It's because of me" and then of course all the talk about how he was "such a strong persuader." That's a lot of what I wanted this fic to be about...Logan's slow discovery that something happened between him and Jean that actually had very little to do with him. It wasn't that he was just so sexy and manly that he overwhelmed her morals. In contrast, if anyone was used here, it was him -- he's just a little slow on the uptake realizing it.

Absolutely loving the angle you're taking with this, showing that there are more people to be hurt than just Logan and Marie.
Author's Response: Yeah, as enmeshed as everyone in the mansion is, it is ridiculous that they thought they could do something like this and only hurt themselves.

OH DAMN, I hate Jean but you have to give her credit she was truthful - she just wanted out of her relationship with Scott. Logan was convenient.
Author's Response: Yeah, she's just done with the bullshit I think. I don't know if she really wanted out or if she just wanted to get Scott's attention somehow, but either way. Logan was both convenient and probably an extra twist of the knife, but it galls her to no end that he thinks he was just so damn irresistible he drove her to it.
