Horrible how long it's taken me to get back to this. Shame, shame, shame on me. No amount of "busy" can excuse it.

Anyhoodles, like another reviewer said, Logan's unwillingness is really what makes this story plausible. It could have been silly, with the barest of excuses to cover the smut (like the plot of a porno--mailman delivering a package...). Instead it's sublime AU with characters as intricately woven as a fine rug, a homemade basket.

“Does it even matter? Is there anything you wouldn’t do to get out of here?” (This ties back to that plausibility thing. Just brilliant.)

"One word from me, and you’d be on the run for well and good. If that was something you could tolerate you wouldn’t still be here." So fascinating. You rarely see fics where Logan is less than prepared to and comfortable with running.

Author's Response: Rose, you are SO sweet to review every chapter! Of course, now you have me wondering if I can sell a UPSGuy!Logan...\"Package, darlin\'?\" \"Why yes, sugar, bring it right on in...\" I was also wondering how to explain Logan taking the deal and not just running, but in my mind I rationalized it by saying he\'s really got more of a history of running from emotion, or responsibility, and then of course drifting. Staying \"under the radar\" is important enough to him that I think he would seriously have to re-consider any action that might have the government looking for him in earnest, which of course busting the claws out and wreaking havoc in a county jail would probably do...

“Sorry,” he said gruffly, and even to his own ears the words sounded more like an accusation than an apology. Oh, how do you *do* it? So perfect. So well-written. So *right*.

The only depiction of that particular sexual act I've ever enjoyed (hypersensitive gag reflex, has been a bit too squicky for me to even read--forgive my crudeness). Underlines what I said before--you can write absolutely anything and keep our eyes glued on the screen.

Author's Response: Ha, that\'s quite a compliment. I don\'t know why but there\'s something about a vocal-during-sex Logan that is just...yum. Maybe because he\'s so grudging with his words otherwise, it\'s just a mark of how much he is affected when he starts babbling during sex! Go figure.

She turned at that, a shadow of hurt crossing her face, making Logan wonder. You're secondary characters, no matter the brevity of their appearance, share the flawless authenticity and depth of the main characters. It's astounding.

I love your dialogue, your marvelous lines down to the smallest detail, your unparalleled characterizations, intense but never over the top.

Your stories are page turners, even on the single-page of this digital screen. And I can't wait for the next.

Author's Response: I\'m so glad you liked the character of Miss Frost (and again, props to Nimriel_Silverwood for suggesting my anonymous madam become Miss Frost). I found her really interesting too -- usually Logan is bumping up against all these idealistic characters, it\'s kind of nice to see him meet up with someone even more jaded than he is. In my mind she is sort of a Candace Bergen type. Beautiful bone structure but with a voice and glare that could cut you to ribbons if she wanted.

>ducks in, wearing overcoat, dark shades< Your haven't lost your touch, Sarah. In the briefest of snapshots you can pierce even this convert's heart. You're absolutely amazing, and only a lunatic would miss anything from your pen.
