Once again, this is so beautifully written. You create such an eerily-dark atmosphere and stir up heart-breaking emotion. Love it. xx

Author's Response: Thank you. Im glad you like the heartbreak! ;)

OMFG! Once again, I bow to your amazing ability to set the scene, for example, when they first approach the institute and how you described their surroundings in only one or two amazingly descriptive sentences.

Jean is perfectly portrayed and Logan’s protectiveness over little Rogue is so compelling and adorable. This is certainly a dark story, but there are ribbons of well-placed ‘Logan sweetness’ running through it, which I absolutely love.

When I first started reading this story I honestly thought it couldn’t get any better. But I was wrong.

Most amazing line: “But she grew silent, motionless. Logan watched pieces of her die, one after another. Like tiny murders.”

Author's Response: There are very, very few words that can express my response online that I haven\'t used already to other reviews. I hope you believe how sincere I am when I say thank you, I\'m happy you liked it, and I hope you continue to enjoy the rest. Your review put a huge smile on my face and made me bounce on my chair.

Well what can I say? I need to find some new words to praise your work because it is so ubberly, mindbogglingily fantastic (now, there’s some new words that my thesaurus refuses to accept! But when it comes to your writing, they exist).

"He's sleeping in your wing." "Not for long." - haha!

And what an emotional scene when he returned and the vase was smashed. It brought tears to my eyes, and very few stories do that.

What an amazing writer you are. I admire you greatly. xx

Author's Response: You don\'t have those words in your thesaurus? Mine does....Okay, so I scribbled them in with a pencil. But whatever. ;~) Lol. Trust me, you don\'t ever need to find new words. Whatever you say is guaranteed to make me fist-pump the air and scream, \"YES!\" ......Thank you so much. I just wish I could express my gratitude without being repetitive.

Perfect. That word summarises my feelings about this entire story. I have thoroughly enjoyed every update and I almost feel a sense of loss that it’s finished! This chapter was so carefully written, so gentle, so brilliantly unhurried (or at least that’s how it came across to me).

“There was a deep pleasure in a corporeal fire--in it's scent, in the heat that stretched across the floorboards, in the primitive knowledge that he was keeping his girl warm.” - I just loved this line, I can’t even fully explain why, it just says so much, it’s so ‘cosy’.

“Something he could bring out in his mind when he felt like torturing himself.” – such an interesting line, very Logan, if you see what I mean.

This is one of the best stories I have ever read on this website. You are a very talented writer. x

Author's Response: You are by far one of the coolest reviewers in the world. I always look forward to your\'s. Thank you. >presents cup of hot chocolate, with marshmallows< ....btw: as everyone on this site knows, \'cozy\' is the best adjective in the world. I\'m so happy I could make you say it.

Hi Wendie, I've e-mailed the website administrators to report the problem and I'll keep you informed of their response...

Author's Response: Thanks, darlin\'. --W.

There is so much mystery in this opening, I can’t wait to read what will come next. More excitingly is the intense darkness of it, and I love it.

Fav line: “He saw that it took a lot from her, but she leaned in, her eyes never leaving his, and for just a few moments, all the shadows in them seamed to vanish.”

I'll be following...

Once again, I love the darkness of this and the way you portray Rogue’s emotions. She seems so alone, yet she’s a fighter, and that's the Rogue I like the most.

Fav line: “At that the young woman felt a wave of pure panic rising in her, the projection so strong that it made the two telepaths present in the room wince in unison.”

Okay – chapter five - wow!

I loved the opening action, I could hear it happening all around me. Brilliantly done. And the way you describe Logan when he was strapped up and ‘ready to go’ (so to speak) as Rogue approached was perfection. Phew!

Fav line: “Tall and muscular body, ideally symmetric features… all about him spoke about perfection, balance and power.” – oh, so true! Lol!

Loved this chapter, the best yet! x

Author's Response: Thank you!!!!! This particular line was...well...That\'s how I see Wolverine, especially in Origins: simply breath taking (Giant Blush). I\'m so glad looked liked this one, and truth be told, I wasn\'t all that sure when I posted \"Sed non satiata\". But reading too much of one particular poem made me do it; I blame it on the French!!

Wow, this is powerful writing! And I, for one, welcome the darkness and will continue to follow this amazing story.

The way you wrote Logan’s swift and uncontrollable change to ‘feral’ was brilliantly done, also how you showed the tougher side of Marie, aka Rogue, coming through was portrayed excellently.

Fav line: “Then there were his heartbeats: strong and calm, deep sounds that made Rogue think of an antique war drum.”

I eagerly look forward to your next update...

Author's Response: Thank you!! I got inspired from a few other lab related fics across the net... Hope I did justice to the Masters. (Though the drum-thing is 100% me ^^)

I've been meaning to read this story for a while and I'm glad I did. It's got a great balance of action and intrigue. I look forward to more...

I know that you already know that I love this. However, I want to let other people know how SEXY this is! I think Corinne summarised it perfectly – “Is it hot in here?” The answer to that question is YES!

Author's Response: Nice to hear from you over here too! So pleased you find the story sexy! And as for being hot - I get myself all hot under the collar just writing the stuff so I know what you\'re going through! Wouldn\'t have it any other way though!

The contrast between the opening and the main section was amazing. One minute you’re breaking my heart, (and it has to be brilliant writing to break my heart), the next minute I am grinning and as excited as Rogue is about Logan’s return.

My favourite part was written from Rogue’s POV, when Logan looked up at her in the window and grinned. Perfect!

I especially loved that you wrote the scenes from both POV’s – it was great to see their individual inner thoughts and interpretations.

Okay, so now you have me hooked...

Author's Response: So glad you liked it; I was worried more about this story than Heal Over. Super Madagascarmambo thanks!! Im happy you\'re hooked.

Oh, I loved this chapter so, so much, it made my heart warm and my skin tingle. Rogue is perfectly portrayed; so unsure of herself and reading between the lines of every situation (like all girls do, I guess). The way you write their differing interpretations of each scene is brilliantly done and I just adored the way you described their first kiss, so perfect depicted. I know I am gushing, but I feel like I can’t praise this chapter enough.

Fav lines:

“He just needs to stop--get them out of this confined space, to somewhere the air doesn't taste so much like her.”

“Scooter doesn't remember that territory disputes go out the window the moment the alpha dog shows up.” – haha!

And now I’m off to google the ‘love calculator’...

Author's Response: Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!! >continues to squeal happily< And you can always, always gush. I\'ve said it before, but I was worried about this chapter; I didnt think people would like it. Thank you so much. You\'re pimpalicious. And I\'m about to go buy more pens, so I can started on the next section. (Shorter, quicker, and hopefully better).
