An exposition questions to start off, this part of the story starts at the epilogue of Rogue cut right?
I reread all the previous chapters again and I just noticed that your chapters are very dense, and each scene take place in a generally short time frame, which is my favorite types of chapter to read.
Since I've read so few stories from this perspective, the POV kinda messed with my perception of the story, and it took me a while to even notice that. But I think I'm getting the hang of it,
and the whole unreliable/befuddled narrator is definitely more interesting when done in first person.

This chapter I'm starting to get a picture of the Logan/Marie relationship. This new Marie is actually somewhat mysterious, my perception of her has changed from the last chapter.
I don't have a good grasp on the passage of time yet, but I think based off of the previous chapter, they got into a physical relationship pretty quickly?

My favorite part of this chapter is the flip in Logan and Marie's relationship where Marie is now more reserved emotionally and Logan is more open.

I don't quite know whats going on yet, but enjoying it very much.

Author's Response:

Yes, this part of the story is meant to take place right after Logan wakes up in the new timeline as shown at the end of the Rogue Cut.

I tend to be drawn towards dense chapters that take place in a short time frame myself, so I guess that carries over into my writing.  I always find myself wanting to really delve into what each person is feeling, what they're saying with their body language as well as words, so my chapters do seem to stay within one or two scenes.  That's interesting that you haven't read a lot of stories from this perspective.  I'm currently working on another story that is written in third person, and for me it has taken some getting used to.  I tend to like writing in first person for some reason; I think it makes me feel closer to the character to be able to write their inner thoughts and reactions to what is happening to them.

Logan and Marie did get into a physical relationship pretty quickly, which was  unexpected for them both, but in this timeline they find themselves strongly drawn to each other.  And you are right, there is a flip in the dynamic now, where Marie is more emotionally reserved, and Logan is more open.  It's something that they will have to work on in order to get on the same page.  There are some missing pieces to the puzzle, which wil be revealed in due time.  :)

The first line in this, the explanation of the word anamnesis (which by the way, I've either forgotten or never knew in the first place, so thanks for the education, lol) is kind of chilling, rogue is obviously going to remember some of her past existence and deal with the angst that comes with it - through her nightmares - I don't see Logan wanting to ruin what they have currently by confessing. I don't know, maybe I'm completely wrong, and thinking too much ;) excellent part, I'm very impatient (in a nice way) for more!

Author's Response:

Thank goodness for the online thesaurus!  I was looking for just the right word that would fit the chapter, and that's how I found it.  And you're not thinking too much; you might actually be on the right track.  ;)

I love that you are continuing with this! I love seeing the happily ever after, after all the suffering each experienced.

Author's Response:

I definitely can't rest until Logan and Marie get their happy ending.  They may have to work through some things and take some detours, but they will get there eventually.  Thanks for commenting!

Loving this, with the sweet flashbacks of rogue helping wolverine with his nightmares, and the sweet smut. However, Logan is in too good a mood, and I know that can't last. Really looking forward to more!

Author's Response:

I know, poor Logan.  He's definitely in too good of a mood for the happy times to last.  I'm about to pull the rug out from under him in the next chapter, but I promise I will make it all better in the long run.  :)
