Why are men so disabled when it comes to communication? Really, Logan? Really?

I really like this. There is so much intensity in it--and I like that. Plus, I like that they're a little withdrawn from each other, at least to this point.

And why don't men ever have to follow the same rules they set for women? I'm just wondering.

Great chapter! Amazing writing and characterizations. And I love the way Marie just charges at Logan. Don't be a wuss, man.

Rogue gets challenged, Logan gets amused, everyone has more fun than I'm having tonight and no actual X-Men were harmed in the writing of this story.

Yay! I loved this. It left behind all of the angst and confusion and just, well, let things happen. This makes total sense for Logan and Marie! And the writing was just . . . awesome!

One Rogue. Two timelines. Three personalities. Every possibility. Rogue discovers who she is, could have been, and everything she can become.

This is so sad, but so beautiful. It's inevitable that Logan and Marie will meet in this alternate universe. I can't wait to see how he handles it. I hope he stays calm long enough for Marie to explain. . . .

Wow. I'm amazed by how beautiful that was. Who'd have thought Logan would have a poet inside of him? And yet, he's "in character" too. Wonderful story!

Logan returns and things get a little tense.

Hilarious and hot. I loved every second of reading this, although I wanted to die of embarrassment for Marie at times.

I should say watch your grammar. There was nothing too distracting but there were some minor errors.

Thanks so much for sharing. This was awesome!

Just a short thing on Love and it's power.

Wonderful! I loved it.

A journey where Logan gets reminded of what he gave up when he left the mansion at the end of X2. Fate hands him his ass and he gets the message finally!

Hmmmm. I wonder if the girls will be able to read his actions or if THEY'LL just feel excluded by him. This could be tricky. I can't wait to see what you do with it!

This is very beautifully done although it's sometimes harsh at the same time. It has also stayed intriguing. Damask is a very interesting character and the subtle ways she juxtaposes with/becomes Marie in Logan's mind is kind of amazing. I can't wait to read more. Maybe its good I have the day off today.

Reviewer: elwren75 Signed
Date: 10/05/2011 Title: Chapter 5: Settling In

I be that last bit was the most fun Logan's had (without female company) in a long time! I wonder what Marie's reaction to Damask's conversation will be . . . will she feel slighted, overlooked on be just plain mad? And I hope she tries that bodystocking thing with Logan. ;0)

I love it when Logan gets all "gotta-teach-these-kids-about-life". It just works!

Rogue’s mutation therapy has a interesting side effect.

Okay, there is a sequel to this, right? Otherwise, that's just mean to end it on a cliffhanger like that! I'm looking . . . but will you fill me in, just in case?

Logan gets called to come home, something has gone wrong with Marie.

Oh God! Not Jubes. I want to cry!!

This is so well done though, I can't stop reading.

R.I.P Jubilee!

Reviewer: elwren75 Signed
Date: 10/02/2011 Title: Chapter 3: Beast to Beauty (part 1)

Wow. This. Is. AMAZING.
I loved the Marie-as-Jubilee section. You have them both spot on. I kind of feel bad for Marie that Jubes let the cat so completely out of the bag, but I know Marie would have never told Logan how she felt about him on her own, so that was a good way to handle that situation. :)

This made my stomach drop to my feet. I know Logan has to be cruel, but I could barely read this; and yet I couldn't stop, either. The thought did flit across my mind that Logan had just slice Remy because he'd raped Marie, and then he kind of raped her himself, too (didn't he?). I know what he was trying to do, but still--

This was brilliantly written and you are the angst-queen, but I'm kind of glad this chapter's done!

Date: 10/02/2011 Title: Chapter 5: Balancing the Beast

Thanks so much for this; it is truly great writing. Although some parts of it made me squirm, shake my head and want to throw my laptop through the window, I'd eventually see that all the horrific stuff was necessary to the story. You've made me see a side of Logan that is very rarely seen in fanfiction. Usually, he's the protector, or the lover or the joke-ster. Once in awhile he'll go berserk, but never when it comes to Marie. With this story you've blended almost all of those sides of him (though the joke-ster is missing; he'd be out of place here). I truly got caught up in this story and I'm sure that it will haunt me. Thank you for sharing it.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for commenting on this, I\'m finally back for a while on here and I\'m returning the ompliments given, I know there are parts you wanted to scream at me and shout but the thing is it was needed, they both needed it and finally got what they needed.

Rogue goes off the rails as the pressure is on with Logan.

That was . . . that was brilliant. I haven't laughed so hard in a long while--and I love the way Logan lets himself love and be loved here. I know, that sounds cheesy, but a lot of the time, he's the one making things more difficult than they have to be! :)

An interlude without the feeling.

This is so . . . beautifully depressing. And I thought Paperback Hero was a comedy. Although your depression leads got great writing, try not to get depressed too much. I won't be able to not read the writing and then I'll be depressed too. :0)

This was wonderful! I love reading your stories, because I never know what it's going to be. There's always some sort of angst, but the ending can be bitter, happy, harsh, depressing, brilliant, delightful--and sometimes more than one of those at the same time. I don't know how you do it, but your writing's always creative and extraordinary!

Logan is feeling torn between what he should do and what he wants to do. One part wants to let Rogue be alone to live her life, another part wants to claim her as his.
