Oh my. Magnificent. I was reading your other fic The Unrequited Kind and decided to read this in the meantime while I wait for the epilogue. Boy was I BLOWN AWAY. The emotion... the inner workings of Rogue. She asked the questions the audience wanted to know and it was covered beautifully. Witty,gritty, and the literary visuals were visceral. Thanks for such a great piece of work. =)

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m so glad you liked it. It took ages to write, this one - so it makes me so ridiculously happy when someone enjoys reading it!

I've never been into this couple... I only came upon it after reading other X-men ff and this was listed as someones fave fic and omg I've never regretted clicking on the link. Beautiful story and so well written. All the characters were so tangible and real. There is no real antagonist and the mess they are in is just a mess that is a culmination of things and not really anyone's "fault" per say. It was just lovely. I knew the ending was going to be bittersweet but after reading it I am still aghast and in awe. Of course the Sigur Ros -Hoppipolla http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnAwPeqrdAk managed to play on my itunes as I read it and the combination with this ending brought me to tears. Thanks for this real and strong heroine you've created with rogue/marie. I hope you could continue with this characterization of Rogue. Her story and her POV was what drew me to this story.... just ahhh . Wonderful.

Author's Response: It was always going to be a bittersweet fic this one, but I was really nervous about how people would feel about it, and whether it would work. Especially the ending, so thank you so much for your comments! And I absolutely love Hoppipolla. I play it on the piano :o) It\'s gorgeous and it fits the emotions of the epilogue perfectly. You have awesome music taste!!
