Wow
This is seriously hysterical- it was published in 2001 and you don't have any current stories, so I don't know maybe you don't use this site anymore but seriously- this is hysterical and I love klutzy Rogue, but that may just be because I've been known to fall down and drag someone with me in the process ; ) good fic though seriously

retired featured story This is how it happens. You meet a girl in a bar, and your entire life is turned upside down.

whew! I never would have figured from the chapter summary and the title what kind fic this was, I thought the title hinted at some kind of messy break up scene.

Seriously though, this story is deep and sad, i had a little trouble avoiding a light misting sensation with my eyes. It was a really good idea walking us through Logan's life with Marie and I love that you showed us how she dies and you don't make him this bitter bastard at the end, but someone forever altered. Really good read- gold star!

Inspired by a trip to a fortune teller, Jubilee and Kitty convince Rogue to lay some mojo on Logan. The result? A lesson learned, and some good old-fashioned, mortifying fun!

Oh man this was great-seriously. I only really read it in the first place because I was so surprised to see The words foof next to one of your fics- and this was great- no angst- minus the train bit but I loved that little dab of well placed depression-always a nice treat.

Seriously hysterical by the way, Jubilee making fake claws with her fingers while sneaking up behind Logan and him giving the tea to the professor and just a lot of other stuff that made me laugh out loud-literally
Loved this fic- a sequel would be sweet

A month has passed since Logan came back - how are he and Rogue doing?

Scott tried his best to sound bored and only mildly irritated, but he was getting close to pissing himself. Where the hell was Jean? Where the hell was anybody? He was about to get sliced and diced just because Logan was horny; he could use a little backup.


best line of my life- no joke

So what if they really weren't in love at all. Could they still keep their hands off each other?

To your credit:

This was embarrassingly good, so much so that you should be ashamed to show your face.

It was real and believable and tender and painful- total real life, everything fit- damn good job.

P.S How am I the first review in nine years? Little insane considering the story-which by the way blew me so far outta the water, was so perfect that I can't even imagine a second chapter and I understand you warning everyone not to ask for one

Author's Response: LOL! I think you might be the first review BECAUSE it was written so long ago. It\'s been a while since I was active in the W/R fandom and my stories have been around since before there was an WRFA, for the most part. :) But thank you so much for reviewing it!

That was....phenomenal. I loved the whole structure from the angsty beginning to the resolved sexual tension, whole thing made my heart kinda flutter and sing like "wow" really loved it~ kudos

WOW that was really enjoyable. I'm a comic book kid, I grew up reading the comics and honestly there is a lot of X-men comics out there, I mean a girl can get confused with all the different X-men adventures and people die and come back again to end upo in space before finding themselves in Australia or alternate X-men dimension, but I really liked this story.

Short and simple- sort of- and you did a good job, I liked your references to Genosha and I like the kiss part at the end-so cute! Good job


She'd laugh and talk to him in a way that I knew she made him feel like the greatest person in the room, no matter who was around. That's when it hit me. She used to look at me like that!

Date: 02/15/2009 Title: Chapter 2: What I know

All right now, first things first.

This is actually surprisingly good- mind you I was only surprised because the spacing is all wrong. when you aren't logged in go online and read the story you posted, see the way the lines have no spacing in between them? Well you can fix that and you should really work on it because its awfully distracting.

Now, as I said this is a good story. I like your Rogue, little hard to swallow getting a Psychology degree, and a Med. degree in two years.... that's 22 years of knowledge for the normal person in two years for Marie... it really wouldn't matter how smart she was there isn't enough hours in the day to do that, it would even be slightly more believable if you made it a three year time period because it hasn't go to do with her being that smart or that dumb but with her being able to accomplish that much in such a short time.

Also, clearly you aren't using the comic books as a reference for Logan's background. I actually like the idea of Scottish Logan, then again I've always loved accent hearty Hugh Jackman, all Aussie and fantastic as he is. I think it's also a little far fetched having Logan be in Scotland in the time before it was called "Scotland" also there's a slight historical error- I think- because Scotland before it was called Scotland didn't have a whole lot to do with blue paint and be careful with that thread because before Scotland was Scotland, chronologically speaking it was the Middle Ages, I believe, which would man circa 1200's and that would make Logan upwards of 800 years old.

Okay, I've said my peace but I want you to know I'm not flaming you at all here, just letting you know that this is a really good story and I hope to read more of it, just properly spaced out next chapter-hopefully!

Rogue has moments of remembrance during a stressful moment in her life. Happy, I swear. Foofy, even.

had me sitting here literally reading frantically because you kept shooting back and fourth between the birthing scene and the pregnancy and I got so engrossed that I actually said out loud, half way through, "I'm just so worried about the baby"

Story sucked me in that much-totally spell bounding in that oh so adorable way

I really didn't get the title when I read it and then I read the story and it was confusing but by the ending I understood perfectly and it made me so sad to get it. Good fic, subtle angst- really there though

Marie has a probing question for Logan, who has to decide whether to describe or demonstrate by way of an answer.

Real Quick Observation- I'm literally baffled this story has been up here since 2007 and never been reviewed, and this isn't the first time I've come across a good story that went wanting for a review.

Great story though, LOVED the whole thing from top to bottom and I loved that neither Wolverine or Rogue were OOC- you hit the name on the head beautifully. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go add you to my favorite authors and proceed to read all of your works.

Logan left three years ago after sleeping with Marie. Now he's back. Can he fix the mess he made?

It is nothing short of plain crazy that no one has reviewed this story yet.... I'm literally sitting her with a 0.0 face on.

First I want to comment on the story, which is fantastic! There was literally not one little bit of it that I did not enjoy. I loved the opening, where you got a glimpse of Rogue and the junior X-men and I loved reading about the bar scene! What a great part! It literally made me feel like I was sitting at the bar with my friends having a night out- I have no idea how Logan riding a mechanical bull hasn't earned you a fan fiction award!

I love the way you set the two characters up an I love thrilling romp in the woods, and I think every girl whose sexually active out there or who prowls on the dating scene has sat in bed at least once and thought the same thing Rogue was thinking, about doing something sexually public for the man she loved and having it be the stupidest think ever. I really loved that part, but that's just pervey old me lol!

You are a spectacular writing with an uncanny ability to tap into the characters personalities, I felt like I was right there in the bar with them and it was all and all a great read! I can't wait to read more of your stuff!

Logan fulfills his obligations.

-- kk thanks

Author's Response: Eep! *You heard the girl, Ara. How about some quality time with the keyboard?* Ah, darn. You woke up Logie. I guess it\'s time to see what he wants to tell me. No promises, but I\'ll see if my muse is willing to cooperate. :)

Cookies!!! Next time you get a cake!

I'm so happy cuz I FINALLY get it now! Before I was just enjoying Rogue/Logan on the run and differnet outcomes every chapter but now NOW I get it, this chapter was the missing link. Alternate Universe's- the first one they didn't know each other and the same in the second and now in this one they do and it's like the movie verse.

Oh but poor Marie.... no!! Marie can't be sick and seriously this is a creative little fic-can't wait for the next update

Author's Response: You deserve cookies and a cake, too. I left the whole AU -thing vague in purpose. Explaining it earlier would have ruined the story for me. Oh, and considering Marie\'s state of health in these last 2 chapters, you don\'t need to worry. It really is just a flu. I have no intentions to kill of either of them in this one. :)

If life's a movie, Rogue didn't get to pick her genre.

ahhhhhhhh!!! I cannot believe! CANNOT BELIEVE that you were surprised about receiving feedback for this story I mean its actually jut excellent!

Okay, the nitty gritty. Your Rogue is very damaged, not a little but a lot I mean the girl breaks down sobbing like every five minutes, but I do suppose that is the nature of Rogue.

I love the duality between these two characters, I love their heart ache and the cat and mouse game and I seriously love the last line of this chapter- great great ending right there. NOw as per instructions you simply will have to continue this or I will need to find and eliminate you ....well actually that doesn't guarantee me a chapter 5 so I shall find you and....force you into writing~ mwahahaha!!!

Seriously great works cookies and bean dip all round

Author's Response: Awww... Thanks for you kind words. *blushes* I tend to be very insecure about my writing. \r\n\r\nMarie really has some issues. She\'s working through what she has now, and there\'s a lot more to come. \r\n\r\nI\'m trying to give everyone a view into each of their minds. I don\'t want to jump over into Logan\'s POV, although it\'s very tempting. Maybe after I finish this. Don\'t worry, I\'m continuing, as soon as I write a chapter of Futures Unknown and get it posted. Hey, maybe you should head over there and tell me how you like it!\r\n\r\nThanks again for the review, I accept the cookies and bean dip (what a combo) and you won\'t need to kill me or force me to write, unless you want to come and babysit and clean the house so I can write. LOL :D
