This story is simply perfect. Really poignant... I loved the intensity of it. Great work, really.

Author's Response: Thank you! :)

I utterly love it. The Jean POV is believable, Marie is so in character it hurts, and the prose is just breathtaking. Excellent work!

(Yes, I'm in the middle of a reviewing-spree.)

Anyway, that third chapter? Urh, good gods, that was nice.
Logan, most of the time? Nice.
Logan/Jackman and bathtub smut? That should be illegal. Should be the bane of PTAs everywhere.
I'll never watch The Fountain's bathroom scene with an innocent eye ever again. Not that it is innocent to begin with, but well. And well, it does help that Logan and Marie have suck a crackling chemistry.

And about your ability to write smut... I don't think good smut has much to do with wide knowledge and crude description, but rather : a good grasp at characterization and a great way of dealing with your character's inner voice. You're naturally good at that, so your smut is great too. Logical.
As someone said once : "Staying IC during sex scenes is particularly important, because sex is a deeply personal thing, and a sex scene is your character in the raw; naked and exposed."

YOU are very good at characterization, and you always convey the POVs with such ease, really. Your writings are natural, alive and vibrant. So is your smut. Smut can be such a pain to write, it's to easy to start spouting nonsense, and fall into the Pit of Silliness.
It's not about the act, it's about the character's feelings, reactions, characterization, and the overall picture. You're really, really good at that.

Author's Response: \"Smut can be such a pain to write, it\'s to easy to start spouting nonsense, and fall into the Pit of Silliness.\" Been there, done that. More often than I care to count or remember... But, thanks for the fb. This is one of those that I should print it out and keep reading when I get stuck and nothing seems to work. Thank you. :)

I fucking love your style so fucking much, I keep adding random expletives everywhere. fuck.
I know you must be tired with the fanish devotion, but really, your works are so, so great to me, it's just... uurh, I can't go on reading without letting you know that I love what you do with Logan.
Yeah, I know, that's not construtive reviewing. But fuck, I love your style.

Author's Response: Constructive? Heck, I\'m just glad to get any rewiews at all. It\'s good to know that people find the time to read these scribblings. ;)

I had a feeling that things were steering that way. I was giddy with expectation, because if there's one thing you're good at, it's pulling stuff like this out of your sleeves.
The Nolan factor, right? Right.
The reader knows it's going to be ugly, but he/she never knows *which* kind of Ugly is actually going to show up.
And when it comes out of nowhere, and slams into your brain so hard that you *actually* sit there reeling from the aftershock long after finishing the chapter? Gods, it's so, so, so good. *Braingasm*
I want more braingasms like these, lol. I'm a needy bitch and I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with me for a long time. I just can't get tired of your style.
Where do you pull this style from, woman? Seriously, you've got a gift. And I'm not saying that in a “Oh, u're good! Hmm, btw update soon, much?” kind of way.
I mean it, really. Uuurh, I'm gushing again. But this story does all kinds of funny things to my brain. It's like reading 'War' all-over again, or watching Memento for the first time.

PS: And I really, really love your Marie at 40. You've done a number on her in this one, and you know what? I'm loving the complexity of it. And the 'Bitch-from-Hell' part is a perfect counterweight to Logan's madness/moodiness/Logan-ness. How do you manage? How is it that these two are completely different in each of your fics, and yet they always, ALWAYS, are complementary? You keep surprising me.

Author's Response: I have split-personality disorder. :) Sorry, bad joke. Very bad. shouldn\'t joke about those things. actually, when I start writing I just kind of imagine myself in Logan\'s shoes and go from there. Half of the time I spend on my balcony smoking and trying to come up with right words, half of the time I spend iffing and fearing that nobody will understand a single thing from the mess I have managed to make.

Ahaha, foof is really nice too. I don't mind whatever it is, as long as you're the one writing it, I'm always more than satisfied. ^.~

This is good, this is GOOD, this is SO good... You always go down the less travelled road, always pick-up the most unbelievable course of events, and you always, ALWAYS make it work out as swiftly as an old tale.


Author's Response: What can I say? For this one you can blame Logie. He wanted to play a knight for a change. :)

Uuuuuuuhr, wrists... Mine are still giving me hell (now you know how I sprained mine)... I have no clue as to when I'll be able to be back to normal again. -losing hope-
So go easy on them, better stop while they're still working X3.
Take care.

And oh? I love the fatherly side of your Logans. Let's see how this one deals with paternity X3


Author's Response: Well... That boy in the cage is Logan\'s (in a manner). Let\'s just hope he can keep his homicidal tendencies at bay when the baby Marie\'s carrying arrives... :)
