My penname's not as pretentious as it might seem. It's actually further proof of my geekiness since it's a reference to Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. I've been a huge Wolverine fan ever since I saw him on a comic book cover when I was seven years old. I never liked Marvel's decision to have him chase after Jean since it was a doomed relationship. But seriously, why would anyone in their right mind pick Scott over Logan?!! Come on! Plus, I always thought that Logan could do soooo much better. Now I'm a Rogan addict!

Wedding bells are a-ringing at Xavier's when Kitty drags Logan, Marie and Jubes off to New Orleans for her big day. But Wolverine's going to regret sending her to see his old friend Gambit- Because suddenly he's not the only handsome, cool badass with an interest in Rogue. But there's no cause for alarm, is there? And why are Jubes and Kitty grinning like that anyway..?

Contrary to your A/N, I don't want to deck you or Logan. But I DO want to give Logan a big hug! The poor guy, getting his heart stomped on after he tracked her down to work things out. I hope Jubes can work her magic and get those two thick headed people together! All I can say is I'd be happy to take Logan off Marie's hands and comfort the big lug if Jubes can't fix this. Hey, a girl can dream, right?!

God I've missed this story! I'm not sure why you were having confidence issues, your writing is excellent and a joy to read. Again, love the humor in this story. The "they better name a kid after me" line cracked me up. I look forward to the ass kicking! Please update soon!

This might have been a bitch for you to write but it was pretty frickin' awesome to read! I loved how they were so tentative at first and then they finally got down to talking. It was cool to hear Logan just put it all out there.

So many geat lines in this (as always): "...porn did not count" LOL
"...choose the no good bastard who'd do anything fer you--Who is me, by the way!"
"Ah coulda taught a course on that at the Mansion, mainly because of you."
"...all the ingredients for a letter to Penthouse..."

And the best one: "Let's get this show on the fuckin'road."

Amen to that!

Oh, and lastly, I really do think that there is a picture of Logan in the dictionary under "Sex On A Stick".

Actually, it's this story that officially fucking rocks!!! I love all the quotes that Moviemom, Lorelai and Melancholy Rogue referenced. They're all fantasic but I think the one that Melancholy Rogue mentioned is my favorite. This was such a sweet chapter and I loved it. I'm psyched that there is more to come.

I tried to post a review back when you finished this but for some reason I kept getting error messages. So now I've finally circled back to try again.

This story, just like all your stories, took me on a fantastic ride! I hate to see this one end because it was so much fun and had me laughing out loud countless times. And I love how you write Logan and Marie - so sweet and sexy and just plain RIGHT together! Plus, you are somehow able to pull in other characters from the Marvel universe and make it all work so damn well. You make it impossible to resist reading your stories because they are such a blast! I say resist, because I keep finding myself putting off things I should be doing in order to read your latest posts.

So thank you for finishing this story and sharing it with us. And as long as you keep writing them, I'll definitely keep reading them!

Author's Response: i\'m catching up on my thank yous, and i certainly owe you one for all your reviews and always being so encouraging. thanks for everything love, i\'m glad you like when i play with the marvel universe. \r\ncheers!

How will Logan react when he discovers Marie gets the cure?

This is a great series! I'm so glad that you're back and with an update! I hope you have some more stories up your sleeve...

Author's Response: Lol - yes I do have a few more in my bag of tricks so to speak...just have to get them set up and posted. I\'m hoping I\'ll have the time this week to post one or two.\r\n

Hope it is kosher to update this given that it was technically complete before...this is actually the second fanfic I wrote, but I've never been happy with it. Now that I've got a little more experience under my belt, I decided to rework it. I've added a section, and reworked the second half to resolve some point of view and other issues. Overall, though, it might seem very familiar if you read it the first time around. It's about half angst, half smut.

I've been meaning to tell you that somehow you managed to improve on something that was already excellent to start with. I loved the original version and enjoyed the revision even more!

Now COMPLETE!!! :-D The X-team, including Rogue, liberate a mutant lab and find our favorite feral...

Okay, that's not much of a summary, so here's an excerpt to give you a feel:

She held out her hand, palm up, and for a second time seemed to stop. The man narrowed his gaze on her hand, and then again on her eyes. He took one shuffling step forward, and she concentrated on keeping her body loose, letting no tension show in her posture. The sudden /snick/ as the claws retracted startled her, but she managed not to jump. He watched her closely, reaching toward her hand. Suddenly he grabbed it, and for a second she thought he was going to bite her palm. But he just took a deep inhale, smelling her scent and then looking back at her eyes, assessing. She thought she saw a slight lessening of the tension in his posture after this strange ritual, but either way they were out of time.

I just wanted to make quick post to let you know that I absolutely loved this story. I want to reread it again so I can get my thoughts together and post something more coherent (hopefully). Thanks for finishing this and sharing your amazing talent with us.

Cool, you updated! I really liked Logan's thoughts/reactions to Marie. I like how Marie is connecting with him and not trying to distance herself from him and the memories his captivity brings back. Can't wait for the chapter!

Author's Response: Glad you liked it...I\'m working on the next one.

Date: 12/12/2010 Title: Chapter 5: The Fever

Okay, this should tell you how addicted I am to your story; I woke up this morning hoping to see that you made another 1am update even though you already posted 2 chapters yesterday!!

I'm really loving this story! I like seeing Marie caring for him, both physically and emotionally. I like how they are both so intensely drawn to each other. The Dream chapter was so heartbreaking and sweet. I'm interested to see how Logan and Marie will be now that his body/mind have seemingly been repaired by

Author's Response: Aw, as long as we\'re both addicted together, it\'s not so weird, right? I\'m so glad you\'re liking it so far. I\'m also interested to see how it works now that Logan is better. I was having such an easy time writing Feral!Logan I wasn\'t sure if I could handle it once he started talking. I think it\'s going okay so far though, but you can tell me when I update next. ;-)

"Nobody expects the evil cliffhanger!" Is that a reference to one of my favorite Monty Python lines?!

I'm so happy to see that you updated so fast! You did an excellent job of capturing Logan's voice. Can't wait to see how you resolve the evil cliffhanger!

Author's Response: Yes, I did have Monty Python in mind. And if at some point Logan is instructed to fetch a comfy chair, it\'ll be in your honor. :-)

But someone needs to kick Scott's ass! I hope Marie can get through to Logan so he can stop beating himself up and let himself be happy with her. As usual, I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Ack, don\'t get fired! :-) Thanks so much for your reviews, especially for being my lucky number 100. :-D My new goal is to knock those plagiarized stories out of the \"Most Reviewed\" lists, because what\'s up with that?

Reviewer: Oracle13 Signed
Date: 01/03/2011 Title: Chapter 14: The Showdown

Damn! That was smokin' hot. Actually, smokin' hot is an understatement! ..faints..

I'm glad she understands him so well and can see that he really cares about her and doesn't want to hurt her. Awesome!

Author's Response: Yay! Glad you liked it. Yeah, it\'s been interesting writing Rogue *without* her absorbing Logan\'s personality to give her some guide, but hopefully he\'s been bad-mouthing himself enough to give her an idea why he\'s so prone to running. And in my mind this Rogue, especially with the background of her lab experiences, age, and greater control of powers is a little more mature and insightful regarding inner demons.

Reviewer: Oracle13 Signed
Date: 01/03/2011 Title: Chapter 14: The Showdown

Yeah, like you said in your response, Marie is more mature and understands inner demons. I love that about your story. They are both strong and mature enough to understand each and try to work things out. Like in The Drive, he is strong enough to give her some space but also to confront her. I especially liked the line where he asks her try and explain anyway because it's better than what he's guessing she's thinking. And her explanation to him is great. Two mature adults talking it through. The same goes for this chapter. She confronts him with the "did you want to leave me or just think you should" line. And his response to her back is so perfect and sweet. This emotion, maturity and intense connection is fantastic and keeps me avidly reading this story and anxiously waiting for updates!

Author's Response: That\'s such a compliment, that\'s exactly what I\'m trying to convey. They both have their demons/insecurities/baggage, but they are calling each other on it at different times. It\'s been especially hard to do that for Logan, since he\'s not a big talker. I was worried about that part in \"The Drive\" you mention when he talks about himself, because it\'s like five sentences in a row for Logan, and I was thinking, \"That\'s too much talking for him!\" :-D But I like that he\'ll do something out of character, like talk about himself, or seek out help from others, if it\'s to help Marie. It makes me all warm and fuzzy. ;-)

Reviewer: Oracle13 Signed
Date: 01/03/2011 Title: Chapter 14: The Showdown

You said that you were worried that you had Logan talking too much but I think it really works here. He's doing things that he wouldn't do because of Marie. Like telling her that he's trash and that she shouldn't tie herself to him, or telling her that he's a monster so she can deal with absorbing Sabertooth. I think the other telling things like contacting Xavier and letting him read his mind show how devoted he is to Marie and how he'd do anything for her - even if it goes against his instincts and takes him out of his comfort zone. So the fact that he opens up to her and puts himself in emotional/physical harm for her makes perfect sense to me. Doing all of this doesn't seem out character to me because of how he feels about her. It seems very real and believable to me.

Author's Response: I\'m so glad that came across, that\'s exactly what I was going for! :-D

Date: 01/06/2011 Title: Chapter 14: The Showdown

I completely agree with Shuttlelauncher. Ignore the rare negative comments or take them with a huge mountain of salt. Personally, I've enjoyed every single chapter of this story. I'm hoping that when you finish this one, you'll have more stories that you'll share on this site. You're a talented writer and I give you ton of credit for putting your work out there for others to read and comment on. Hell, I have a hard enough time writing a review, I can't imagine trying to write a story! So thanks for sharing your talent with us. Oh, and for what it's worth, I set you up as a favorite author so I can get alerts when you post new stuff.

Author's Response: Aw, you guys are the best! I have no idea about more stories, but then again I didn\'t know I had ideas for the three I\'ve done so far until I had them, so I guess we\'ll see! And the first one I never actually planned to post anywhere -- it was more \"therapy\" for me to write \"Full Circle\" as an epilogue to RoseSumner\'s brilliant \"Overlap,\" and then when I emailed it to her stalker-style she led me here and encouraged me to post it. It\'s hard to find time to write, but I\'ve really enjoyed it, so if I have another story idea I\'ll try to write it. In the meantime, I\'ll be happy just reading some of the amazing stuff that is being posted by other authors right now. It\'s so exciting to be on someone\'s favorite author list -- that just makes my day. And writing reviews may be hard for you, but they are appreciated more than you can ever know!

I really enjoyed Logan's thoughts about Marie while she was sleeping. I like it when he gets introspective.

Reviewer: Oracle13 Signed
Date: 01/11/2011 Title: Chapter 16: The Promise

I was a little worried that she might have left-- I'm glad she didn't! Again, I like how she was mature about their fight in the end--how she just brushed it off and was over it. Hopefully now Logan will realize how much she cares and is committed to him. Poor guy, he's so crazy about her but doesn't think he deserves her. I think she'll be able to set him straight eventually. Thanks for another great chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! Yeah, at times I worry I am overplaying Logan\'s low self-esteem/abandonment issues, but I figure post-lab Logan is even less connected to people than just-hangin\'-around-cage-fightin\' Logan so in my mind it makes sense. As much as Marie is kind of an isolated character herself, at least from living in the mansion she kind of knows second-hand how relationships work. People fight, say things they don\'t mean, etc., and it\'s not the end of the world. I think Logan just has no clue how things work, and he\'s too ready to believe that he\'s not worth the trouble of working things out.

Reviewer: Oracle13 Signed
Date: 01/12/2011 Title: Chapter 17: The Stakeout

Evil cliffhanger!

No, he's not being an ass, he's just protecting the woman he loves. Makes perfect sense to me. It's totally in character too because throughout this story he has demonstrated that he'll do anything for her even if it isn't in his best interest. Plus he's crazy about her and afraid of losing her or her getting hurt, so yeah I can totally buy into the fact that he would go to extreme measures to keep her safe.

That being said, I did not see that coming. Now please update soon because I need to know what happens next. Don't make me use the comfy chair!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I\'m glad you found it in character. And that you didn\'t see it coming -- it seemed painfully obvious to me when I read it over after writing it, and I didn\'t want to make it seem like Marie was stupid to be missing all those signs. I\'ll get working on the next update...it\'ll probably be up by this weekend for sure.

So relieved that Marie showed up. Logan's despair at being caught and never seeing Marie again was palpable. Looking forward to the ass-kicking!
