The Wolverine & Rogue Fanfiction Archive
Barely Legal Since 2000
Please finish this story, it's one of my favorites and it's driving me insane...insaner...more insane?
Oh my god!!!! >screams< This was excellent. Brilliant ending (had me yelling "WHAT??!!!" at first), great writing, very original. I loved how you slipped pieces of the dialouge into the story from the movie.
OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! >Breathes, pants, vein twitches in eyes<
Translation from CrazyRoganFan: Good job. I really enjoyed your story. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant! I love this song, and you're right, it's absolutely perfect for them. When I saw the title, I was like,"YES! Finally!"
Oh. My God.
I sat down last night, thinking I'd chill, read a little fanfiction, watch tv....I started this at eight. Didn't go to bed til midnight. I COULD NOT put it down. It was briliant. Good job. Excellent writing, well-drawn characters, scenes that make you want to cringe in sympathy.
And I second the motion to have this written again from Logan's POV. That's an awesomeness you can't refuse. :)
All through the story i felt a bit sick to my stomach-though the writing was brilliant and sad. (Jean Hater and Proud). By the time I read the part where Logans smiling as "she" walks down the isle...I saw a bit of red.
Oh, my point: any writer who can make a reader want to shake and slap, then hug and jump up and down has talent no one should miss. Good job.
Holy crap! This was shere brilliance! I can't begin to tell you how much I love your writing. Your characters are dead-on. Please write more, pretty please with cherries and cheesecake.
Oh. My. God. This was freaking unbelievable. Your Logan voice is dead-on; and your writing in general is just impressive. It was so hot; I was thinking of cold showers & old people skin even when he was with Jean.
Update soon, please, and I'm absolutely begging you for a happy ending.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! I\'m so glad that the Logan and Jean scenes are coming alive as well. Don\'t get me wrong, I am 100% for Rogan. It just seems to me that for Logan to get close to Rogue at this point, he needs to have a really strong motivation, and if the Jean/Logan scenes don\'t work, it all kinda falls flat. So I guess I\'m on the right track... ;)
I thought this was fantastic, and I'd really like to read more. This would be a great as the beginning of a series!
Your writing is wonderful, however, the punctuation is a bit...awkward. Just run it through microsoft word's grammar check. But again, the story itself is great. I love AUs.
I meant to give this 4 stars. >blush<
And I'd really like to read what happens at that meeting, mentioned in the introduction.
This is crazy good. I was tearing up in some places, especially when he was lying on top of her saying, "Marie...Marie..."
The shower scene was brilliant, so powerful and fun at the same time.
Sometimes your action and description seems a little hurried, but it works out well enough. I can't wait for an update.
This was fantastic. I love dialouge stories-it takes real talent to get into the characters so perfectly, description is not needed. Good job.
Author's Response: I\'m glad you found that the dialogue did all the \'storytelling\' in this one. Sometimes when the muse arrives, all she brings is dialogue, so that\'s all I have to work with, which is OK when it\'s a whole new story, but when there are chapters of narrative that need writing and the chit-chat is all that shows up, well, that can be a real bitch. But something tells me you already know that. Thanks so much for letting me know you liked this. And if I haven\'t said it enough, I love, love, love your Science Geek Series. --Wendie
Oh dear lord! I liked this even more than your dialouge-fic! Good job! I was surprised to see Bobby with Jean-not many writers do that. And omfg, she's such a slut! There are support groups for that kind of skankiness. But it was well written, even if that Logan/Jean sex makes me gag. I can't wait to see where this is going.
Author's Response: Thank you, you marvelous writer, you! I so know what you mean about the Logan/Jean smut. As I said in another response, my only comfort is knowing that it\'s JUST sex for sex sake, if you know what I mean. However, as I write Chapter 2, I\'m finding out that Wolvie has a talent for compartmentalizing when it comes to his baser needs, so apparently, it doesn\'t trip his gag reflex like it does ours! But in terms of his heart, well, it turns out it\'s totally free of Jean\'s fingerprints and it always was. I know where the story is going and have a rough map of the road I intend to take to get there, but some of the scenery along the way is surprising even me, so I\'m just as anxious as you are to see how it all turns out! Thank you again for this review *big, big hugs*. To be able to entertain and excite someone whose writing I admire as much as yours is a true blessing. --Wendie
God. Can't believe I didn't notice the new chapters to this. >rolls eyes, makes over-my-head gesture< Can't promise to be half the reliable reviewer you are--sorry! This chapter was fantastic. Perfect amount of humor/sadness. Brilliant. I adore the flashbacks, even when he's with Jean. And your descriptions of his feral side are spot-on. Just--awesome.
Author's Response: Thanks! No worries about not being a \'reliable\' reviewer. Who needs \'reliable\' when your \'sporadic\' reviews are as goofy-grin inspiring as this one is? *grinning like the village idiot--still* Special thanks for liking the \'feral\' bits. Coming from someone who writes Logan as well as you do, a compliment like \'spot-on\' just make me melt. --Wendie
Blllleegggglllcchhhh...I found myself making this sound through almost every Jean-POV-paragraph. Not because of the writing, of course! She's just one supercalifragilistic hobag. I love the parts with Rogue. Its a very nice concept, what Jean did to her-can't wait to see her and Wolverine interract. Please don't rush it though, this is going great.
Author's Response: You definitely win the Best Review Sound Effects trophy as well as the All-Time Most Creative Insulting Name for Jean award. I wish I had the words to express what your encouragement \'please don\'t rush it through\' means to me. I have such a tendency to want to hurry up and get to the punch line, but I will definitely take your advice to heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you, with a naked Logan on top--covered in whipped cream--and unable to whisper anything other than \'Your wish is my command, darlin\'\'. --Wendie
Omg. I rated this 5 stars, but it showed up as 2 1/2. ( Note: See last review.) Its been happening every time I try to rate. Sorry, just didnt want you to think I was insulting the story.
Author's Response: Not to worry. I had to goof one up too before I figured out that each point is half a star. Seems bass-ackwards, but I guess it works once you know the system. Thanks again! --Wendie
Might be going crazy-would love to see an update of this!! >smiles apologetically
Author's Response: I know just what you mean. I\'m going crazy, too, trying to get this one right and I\'m not having much luck. I am bound and determined to get it posted before I leave for vacation on June 5, but I\'ve also come down with pneumonia and bronchitis in the meanwhile. I can\'t decide which makes me feel worse, the lung troubles or the writer\'s block, but they\'re both kickin\' my ass! I kind of painted myself into a corner and am slowly working my way out. Hopefully, I\'ll be able to concentrate and get lots done while my kids are in school over the next few days. I swear, I write some every day, even if it\'s only a sentence or two. It\'s comin\', I promise! --Wendie
Hol-yyyy **insert expletives and various uncomprehending nonsense sounds** This...Oh my goodness....THIS. It's fantastic, Wendie. Might as well resign myself to the cats using my jaw as a playtoy, cuz I can't pick it off the floor. You never fail to amaze. There are far, far too many lines in this chapter for me to quote--please assume that each and every one of them was brilliant. Thank you for putting your fingers on the keyboard again and sharing this masterful piece with us.
>glares< I'm not speaking to you. I'm not going to tell you that I went ape$hit when I received the update notification for this, or bounced a circuit around the living room. I'm not saying that this was worth the wait (and what a wait it was) and your skill has increased exponentially. I'm not going to comment on brutally honest and wonderfully handled The Scene was, or how nearly every line of which is worth quoting. Or how intriguing the fact that you made his dialogue sound so unlike him when it *wasn't* him, and that the voice of the real Logan is so spot-on. Not gonna say it.
You, sir, are getting the silent treatment. >gives schoolgirl *hmmph*<
Author's Response: Oh, dearest Rose, if this is the silent treatment, then feel free to clam up forever and ever. God knows I deserve it for taking-oh, lord, is it really?--eight months between chapters. I read this on my phone while sitting in my car waiting to pick my daughter up from school. I was getting strange looks from children as they passed me. Apparently, a 40-something woman can\'t sit in her own car and grin from ear to ear like the village idiot without drawing undue attention to herself. I must have read this a dozen times and every time I am more thrilled that Logan\'s dialogue in The Scene worked for you. Scenes like that are SO difficult--I just hate making him treat Rogue like that--so, I actually think the fact that it didn\'t sound like him was because I had to do something to allow myself to even type the damn words -- although at the time I had no idea that my cruise down that river in Egypt would actually turn out as well as it did...Anyway, THANK YOU! --Wendie
*whistling cheerily*....Oh what a beeaauuuutiful moOORRRning, oh what--Oh, hey Wendie!! Fancy seeing you here! You come around these parts often?...Me? Oh, you know. I was just hanging out. Not trying to nag anyone about a glorious yet incomplete fic or anything...I'm sorry, what was that? Tap...Tapping my foot? Hey! So it is. That's just...you know...cuz I heard music. You can't hear it? Well, they probably just turned it off. Why am I still tapping my foot? Just...just because. For funsies.
Looking at my watch? I did no such thing!! I learned my lesson; I know criticizing a writer's tardiness will not make an update come any faster. And...and if I did, it was only because...because I'm late for an appointment. Yeah. Yeah.
Author's Response: So, I\'m guessing it\'s just a coinkydink that the song you just happened to be singing this morning is one immortalized by the golden-throated, Curly-haired Hugh Jackman, right? It couldn\'t be yet another layer of subtle hinting on your part that perhaps a story of mine involving a character that looks just like the Sexiest Man Alive needs an update sooner rather than later, now could it? Nah, of course not! I\'m ashamed of myself for even thinking such a thing about you. But if you were that kind of person--which you\'re not--you might be interested to know that funny, subtle-like-an-axe hints have been known to influence which of the unfinished projects I might find time for this weekend, assuming my real life allows me any spare time at all for writing. But it really doesn\'t matter, \'cuz, like I said, you\'re just not like that at all. Right? Oh, and I hope you didn\'t miss anything important being late for that appointment...*nudge, nudge, wink, wink* --Wendie
Wow. A story by Sahara. What a lovely surprise! *big wink* Great story, great title. Welcome to the dark side-here's your cookie. Can't wait to see more of your work.
Author's Response: Oh I know, aren\'t you shocked? You had no idea right? I\'m super duper glad you liked it. I don\'t think I would have posted if you had really taken my offer of sending me bridge pictures seriously (without the superimposed \"Huge Jackman\". And you\'re right, reviews are like crack. They\'re actually better than the s\'mores ice cream I\'m eating. Once the Sexy Cupcake plans are complete I\'ll send you The Thunder From Down Under with a big red bow & a sign that says \"THANK YOU\" :D
Three cheers for suggestive! Ladies and not-so-ladies, may I present the newest great/amazing/fantabulous author on the WRFA! This was beyond brilliant-such a nice rythm, original presentation of the scene, and general awesome possum-ness. Thank you for sharing it.
Author's Response: *curtsies awkwardly & blushes furiously. Gets back to work on your next issue of MANimals magazine with pages upon pages of Logan\'s abs covered in melted ice cream* Thank you :D
Good lord, how can this not have a hundred reviews attached to it?! I reread this last night and it is just as poignant and *right*. I can't wait to see if you create anything else....Btw, did I ever mention that "Full Circle" was my original title for the story? "Overlap" was a last-minute choice. Spooky...........
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! It\'s quite a compliment coming from you. I hadn\'t realized, but I think you used the phrase \"full circle\" somewhere in your notes/introduction for Overlap. I didn\'t realize until I re-read *your* story that that was probably where the title came from, it must have snagged in my subconscious. At the time, I just thought the title was appropriate given that it was written as an epilogue to your story, and also given how I tried to echo (i.e. \"steal\") many of your themes/scenes, I thought it felt appropriate, along with the double meaning of the little family circle I leave Rogan with in the end.
Had a sudden *craving* for this fic last night, hit me again today. Just as awesome the third time through.
Forgot to mention, I think, how much I loved these line--
"People had spent millions of dollars and more time than he had been alive – maybe, hard to tell at this point – to handle what nature threw at them." That 'maybe' really makes the sentence stand out as something special.
"He focuses on the dirty little stream flowing alongside the curb. Water under the bridge." So, so visual.
"He wants to think that she’s covered up because of the cold, not to rankle him by denying him access to her body." Perfectly Loganosity here, though I don't think it was supposed to be half as....what's the word....um...kinky, as I took it. Forgive me. I'm in a mood.
"He’s pretty sure his body is the strongest part of him too, so if he physically can’t hang on to her then what chance does he have?"....Absolutely heartbreaking and, yet again, *in character*. Just beautiful.
"A guy with an adamantium-reinforced skeleton shouldn’t be doing any kind of dancing for Christ’s sake." HA!! How in the world could I have missed this giggle-gem before?
"Never seriously considered it until now. He has no fucking clue what he would be sorry for, but he vaguely thinks women like to hear that sort of thing." Such Logan awesimitude here.
So, class, to sum up: Sarah does Logan like she *is* Logan. Only with different kinds of bumps on her chest.
Author's Response: OMSJ. Rose. You really, genuinely had me grinning so hard my face hurt throughout this, until the end where I actually cackled. No, not laughed, I cackled. You have no idea - okay, you probably do have an idea - how slap happy it makes me that you re-re-read this! That you had a *craving* for any fic of mine and then went out of your way to review. For that, you can have Dark!Sarah - just make sure you get to her after her \"feeding\". AND you did quotes! People are going to wonder what happened to Caustic!Sarah if you keep this up. Smiles don\'t look right on me. ;)
This fic is even better the second time around. You're angst writing is utterly fantabulous, so poetic and sharp. I can't wait to see what you'll create next. Hope your Monday improves!
Author's Response: My Monday *did* just improve! With your splendiferous review! And with the fact that my computer doesn\'t find a spelling error in the word splendiferous! Thank you for checking it out a second time and super thanks for going through it the first time. I wish it was like a roller coaster where you get your picture taken at the end so you\'d have a nifty souvenir. Except here you\'d get Wolverines....yeah....nice.
