God, that was heartbreaking to read! Thank you for not being too graphic- it was brutal despite that. Please tell me that Logan's gonna get her out of there soon and kill those bastards? This is heartwrenching!
Author's Response: It was heartbreaking to write!! I had been struggling with the rape issue and that\'s why there had not been an update in a few months. I thought long and hard about going that route and when I decided to do it, I was adamant about not being graphic! Being raped is something that, thank God, I\'ve never had to endure and I in no way wanted to offend anyone who has been through that. I will never be graphic when it comes to that. In my mind, just the thought of her being raped was enough to touch the readers. Logan is a desperate man at this time and will do WHATEVER it takes to find Marie! When and if he does, there will be hell to pay I assure you! Thanks so much for the comment, it helps me to want to write more!! :)
Hey, welcome back! It was great to see that you updated this! I really liked this chapter. Nice little twist with Jason manipulating her mind to try to get her to reveal Logan's whereabouts. I didn't piece that together until Jason/Logan started to really push her for info. Disturbing that Magneto and Logan had a similar bad dream about her too. I hope they can find her but I'm afraid of what condition she'll be in if/when they do. I'm looking forward to your next update!
Author's Response: Hey, thanks so much for the review! Yeah, the Jason manipulation plot actually wrote itself. I was writing an actual scene with Marie and the Logan in her head, something kinda sweet and then the next thing I know, Jason makes an appearance. It was totally weird, lol!! Magneto and Logan\'s dream was kinda showing symbolism that the part of them in Marie was destroyed, don\'t know if that came across like that. They will find her, and soon...but we will have to see what state she is in! The next chapter will be up this week, hopefully Tuesday!! Thanks again.
Excellent chapter! God, that was heartrending! Poor Logan, he finally finds Marie only to be separated from her again and he's not even allowed to make sure that she's okay or talk to her. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Yeah, it was pretty emotional for me to write as well. I know, I feel like I\'m being so mean to them and well...I am, lol!! It will all be worth it in the end...I hope!!!
Good God, poor Logan! His agony is palpable, to put it mildly. So heartbreaking that she doesn't remember him and all he's gone through to see her again. What an angsty, but excellent, chapter.
Argh! Damn partial memories and misunderstandings! ;)
Nice little tie-in to X-Men First Class. Finally, he'll be reunited with her! It's a great first step.
Man, poor Logan. All the pain and guilt he feels over learning the truth about Rogue's imprisonment is just heartrending.
But I like how you are starting to build back their relationship, showing that there is still hope:
Logan’s head rose slowly towards Marie, his hazel eyes boring into her again. “Will you wait for me?” he asked.
Slowly, she looked back up at him, her mouth coming open to speak, “Yes.”
“Good,” he breathed.
With that, everyone but Marie turned and went to the direction of Xavier’s office. She watched them go, her attention on the retreating back of Logan. As he reached Xavier’s door, he turned towards her. Their eyes met for a moment, Marie felt the jolt so strong it almost knocked her over.
Great chapter and I'm looking forward to the next one.
This is another excellent chapter. I'm addicted to your story and your frequent (thank God!) updates are feeding my habit. I can't wait to find out what happens next but I'm also a little scared too. If there's no happy ending, I'm going to have to sign up for that support group that Sahara mentioned. Regardless of the outcome, I really enjoy your stories. Thanks for sharing this.
Author's Response: /adds name to listserv/ Thank you so much for reading it and letting me know you enjoyed it. Hearing what people like is really what makes it all worthwhile.
Christ, I'm balling my damned eyes out over here! Awesome chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you!
Wow. You know, just when I think that this story can't get any better, it does! I find myself rereading it over and over. It's just so complex, heartbreaking, sweet and realistic. I also like the fact that when you add another character's POV, like Kitty or Jubilee, it's not filler. Instead it just adds yet another rich layer to an already compelling story. These last several chapters have been especially great! As usual, I can't wait to find out what happens next!
Okay, I'm jumping on the Scripture fix bandwagon mentioned by Moviemom and Hobbit. Please, please post the rest of this story ASAP!
Author's Response: Not exactly ASAP, I know. But done.
What a wonderful surprise to see that you came back and finished this. I really loved this story and I thought that you did a great job with the whole Cruel Intentions spin. It was well worth the wait too. I can't thank you enough for finishing this. I hope DOFP continues to inspire you to write more on this site. I would always be willing to read anything else you decide to post. So, any chance that you'll come back to The Bounty Hunter? Just a thought...it was great to see you back regardless.
I'm really digging this story! I can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! More is coming soon.
When I saw that you had posted an update, my response was an excited, "YES!!!!" This story is sooo good and so much better that any of the movie versions of this story. I don't mean to try to influence your muse, but I really hope there will be a happy ending. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm totally trying to influence you!
BTW, the scene with 'Ro was hilarious. Can't wait for the next update.
Also, congrats on your upcoming wedding and thanks for posting this when you're so busy! Best of luck to you!
Author's Response: Aww, I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying this version of the story, and better than the movie versions, wow that\'s quite the compliment! I\'m trying to write against all of the things that bothered me about Cruel Intentions. I still say Sebastien turned into kind of a drip after he finally hooked up with Annette. And I never did totally buy their love story, how he would go from liking girls like Katherine to liking a sweet virginal girl for no other reason than...she\'s a sweet virginal girl. I know where this is all going, and my muses shall not be influenced, ha-ha! Still not saying how it all turns out. The scene with \'Ro was really fun to write, I didn\'t plan for it when I conceived this story, so it came as a nice surprise. Thanks for the warm regards! I have to admit, I\'ve been, like, thisclose to getting up on a rooftop with a rifle and a scope, so not writing was NOT an option. LOL. Thanks for the review!
Please tell me that you're going to come back and update this really soon?! Please don't leave us hanging! Come on, it's too good to not finish it.
At the risk of sounding like a stalker, I hope you come back and finish this. I haven't forgotten about it and it's really good. Please come back!
Holy shit, you're back!!! Awesome!!! I can't tell you how great it is to see that you are back and with an update!!
This was a really great chapter. I never suspected that Jean had pulled a switch - that was pure evil. And the way she got her comeuppance was perfect. Now I can't wait for the next chapter! Go get your girl back, Logan!
P.S. Real life has sucked lately so seeing that you had come back to this story really cheered me up. Thanks for not abandoning this!
Okay, so one of my favorite writers on this site, Artemis2050, just posted a new story after an almost two year absence. So it got me thinking again about all the other favorite writers of mine that I haven't heard from in a while. So this is me asking you to please come back, dammit. I miss this story and your writing. Oh, and just far warning, I'll be back to harass you again if I don't hear from you. ;)
Hilarious! Loved Logan working the Diet coke break setup. More please!!!!
Hey there! Really happy to see that you came back to this!
I really liked the conversation between Logan and Xavier. Can't wait to see how all this plays out. I know you just posted this update, but is it wrong that I want to read the next chapter now?! Looking forward to your next update.
Cool! I'm glad you updated. Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out and settling the score with Jean.
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m glad I updated, too. The only thing I can compare this bout of writer\'s block to is something that happens when we don\'t get enough fiber in our diet--and finally being able to finish this chapter feels as good as when that condition finally resolves itself. I really hope you get that reference, \'cause spelling it out (c-o-n-s-t-i-p-a...) would be kind of gross. Anyway, I, too, am looking forward to seeing how all this plays out. I have a plan, but whether or not I get to follow it to the letter depends on how much the characters assert themselves. Erik, for instance, was a complete surprise. I had no plans to include him in this at all, but he spoke up and suddenly, there I was, typing his dialogue, like a good little Moviemom who does not want to piss off her characters and cause them to run and hide for another eight months. Now that their speaking to me again, Jean\'s score will get settled...and with more than one mansion resident...Thanks again for following along. --Wendie
Hey, I haven't forgotten about this. I hope you'll be able to update this soon.
Author's Response: God knows, I try. Some days harder than others, but not a day goes by that I don\'t think about this story and how to finish the chapter that\'s been sitting, about two-thirds done, for months. I did have a minor breakthrough this week, so after I get a work-related writing project off my plate, which should be next week, I will be able to turn my attention to this without the \'I really should be doing the work stuff\' guilt that holds the muse at bay. Apparently, she and my conscience have made a deal wherein she\'s agreed to bow out gracefully and give Mr. Keep-Me-Honest first dibs on the brain cells. That having been said, it\'s quite lovely of you to let me know you\'re still keeping an eye out for updates. Your continued support is the best motivation I could ask for and certainly more than I deserve. --Wendie
This was a very exciting chapter in a really gripping story. I can't wait to see if they are able to escape. Considering the hell they've gone through, I sure hope they do!
This story is too cool for words. I love how you weave in characters from the comics. You really do an awesome job writing action too. There are so many things that I love about this story: AC/DC titled chapters, kick ass girl power characters, smart ass dialogue and angsty/sexy Rogan.
So the truth finally comes out in another great chapter. I've been wondering how he could have possibly cheated on her when it seemed so out of character - too cruel and selfish - since he obviously adores her. And now we find out why and it makes perfect sense. I could totally see Logan sabotaging the relationship out of a desperate need to protect the woman he loves and his belief that he doesn't deserve her. You really did an excellent job conveying how he was driven by love, fear and self-loathing to make the biggest mistake of his life. That's a pretty intense combination that could cause anyone to do something stupid but with good intentions. And besides, Logan has never been shy about sacrificing himself for her.
I really liked how you wrote Kitty as the voice of reason and someone that Logan trusts and can confide in. You did an excellent job of portraying the close relationship between Kitty and her "sensei" - great reference back to the comics too. As for Logan, you really captured his voice and the scene perfectly.
On a side note, when I got the alert that you had updated I was totally psyched, not only because you had updated but also because I was alerted that you had posted three chapters (#30-32) instead of one. When I got to the website I realized that I had been duped by the WRFA gremlins again. Damn you, WRFA gremlins, and your cruel, teasing ways!!! ;) Anyway, this chapter and your excellent writing completely alleviated my initial desire for vengence against the gremlins.
