This is beautiful :)

Marie thought she needed a cure. Logan thought he needed answers. Turns out fulfilling a need is a lot less satisfying than accepting a want – but no less achingly complicated.

First part in the Use Somebody series. Post-X3, the architects of Marie's cure and Logan's amnesia conspire within the government. Only together can Marie and Logan break their cycles of self-destruction and stop a war they were never meant to start.

Love your writing style, cannot wait for an update

Author's Response: Thanks! This one\'s a bit more \"stylistic\" (read: chaotic) than my previous fics, so I\'m glad you like it.

Marie's a little crazy. Logan's a little farther south than he should be. Everyone's a little worried about the political climate in the nation.
A long and mixed up AU containing our favorite cast of characters, in which Logan and Marie try to live their lives peacefully (yeah right).

YES!!! YES YES YES!!!

I am indescribably in love with this story and I had to do a double take when I saw it on the front page...and then I squealed so loud my husband looked over at me.


Amazing, I love you, and now Im going to go read back from the beginning!

Author's Response: :)

I am in love with your amazing attention to detail, especially in this last chapter.

I cant wait to see how you get these two together :D

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing. I sometimes struggle with how much to describe and how much to leave out. Good to know I found a decent middle ground.

I was so excited when I saw your update and you did not disappoint!

Im loving your take on Rogue and cannot wait for another morbid peak into her phyche, the bit with her bunny was heartbreaking.

Cannot wait for your next update, why do you need to go to Florida???

Author's Response: I\'m heading to Florida to stage manage an opera being performed by a company called Opera Naples. It\'s a crazy intensive short rehearsal process (10 days) and then it\'s two performances so I\'m not sure if I\'ll have the time to do much besides work and sleep while I\'m there. We\'ll see though. \r\n\r\nThanks for reading and I\'ll try to get the next one out as quickly as I can. Kiss Kiss.

*Clears throat*

Alright, I have sat over here twiddling my thumbs and refreshing the website waiting for an update and trying to be patient but I figure a month is darn long enough!

Woman you give me my crack and you give it to me now!.....Please??

Author's Response: I\'m actually finishing up this chapter as I speak (fine, get technical, type). Sorry for the crazy long delay. It will be up tonight with explanations! Thanks for not forgetting about me! \r\n\r\nLoves and Kisses!

Just letting you know that you still have people waiting on this story *bats eyelashes*

Hint hint :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for letting me know you were still waiting. I am doing everything I can to wrestle another chapter out of my brain again. Thanks for not giving up on me.

Everytime I see that you have updated this story its dance part time over here!!

Like Serafirm stated, you had me thinking with this chapter, and its so nice to put a personality to Norbit and of course, Im too am in love with crazy Marie and the ever more protective Logan....Please dont keep us waiting too long for another :)

Author's Response: I\'ll try not to! You might have a dance party when you see an update. I have one when I see a review. I sometimes feel a little bad because Marie is just so messed up in this, I feel like I\'m tormenting her. But, I mist write what the muses dictate.

Every time you update I have to go back and read from the beginning just to savor it a bit longer.

Truly one of my top 5 favorite works on here, I love how you are slowly building the trust between Logan and Marie, and the foreshadowing has be aching for more!

Author's Response: You scare me when you say that because I went back through to rearead all of this and found so many mistakes that I wanted to bury my head in the sand from shame. Thank you for always reviewing (and kicking me in the ass if I need it) and for making me feel totally awesome about myself. I continue writing for you and the few others who seem to like this enough to follow it over the eight million years that it\'s taking me to write it. Thank you for being amazingly sweet. Kiss Kiss. \r\n\r\n(P.S- I thought they deserved a nice slow connection instead of the sometimes rushed one that we read about. Also, I don\'t think Rogue\'s in a good enough place mentally to just fall into trusting people without the addition of time.)

"...home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs, and unpopular names, and impossible loyalties!" -Matthew Arnold

A Brotherhood Rogue is betrayed and finds herself in the middle of a very fractured team of X-Men after she kills one of their own. Now she has to figure out what Carol was & still is up to while juggling a tentative friendship with Jubilee, a growing resentment for the Professor, and a distracting attraction to the growling feral mutant who was sleeping with the woman she killed.

OMG!!!

Freaking amazing, I was so disappointed when I got to the end.

Im loving your reluctant Logan and slightly crazy Marie :D
Cant wait for more!

Author's Response: Who doesn\'t love a slightly crazy Marie? I think I\'m exorcising my crazy demons here. Oh & those Lusty Logan demons...wait...maybe I don\'t want to get rid of those ones...hmmm. I\'ll try serving up some more! Thanks for the review!

Another brilliant chapter, I was so excited when I saw you had updated!

I continue to love your version of Logan/Rogue, Im really excited to see how you bring them together in the end..some of my favorite fics are ones where they start off enemies.

And Im not sure if Jubes is playing at something or just being herself but I absolutely LOVE how you have written her.

Cant wait to read more!

Happy New Year :D

Author's Response: I know, right? I\'m not entirely sure what it is about them as enemies, but it\'s something my brain kept coming back to for a long time now. I\'m glad I\'m finally getting to explore that & you guys seem to like it!

I was so excited to see that this had been updated and you did not disappoint, a perfect balance of unexpected humor and sadness.

I cannot wait for more, and I second the previous reviewer as I too am curious about the "Hes not Victor" chant and what Logans reaction would be to it.

Author's Response: \"A perfect balance\": this made me smile like a damn fool! I\'m really happy you think so and I will take that compliment, wrap it in electric blankets, love it, and covet it :D The \"he\'s not Victor\" chant won\'t be immediately revealed, but I don\'t have anything devastatingly serious planned for its contents. Marie has enough on her plate and far more baggage to be aired out. Thank you for my 3 favorite Rs (reading, rating, reviewing)!!

I literally started squealing and bouncing in my chair when I saw your update and lady, you did not disappoint.

I'm once again floored at the level of detail you are able to pour into your words...so amazing...and screw spring break..I will duct tape your wrists to the keyboard if I have to in order to get another chapter!!

Author's Response: Squealing & bouncing is what I do when I get awesome reviews like this. Duct tape my wrists, huh? Uh...well, I\'ll see what I can do so that doesn\'t happen.

Do you know how much I love your updates??

I love them so much that every time you post a new chapter I go back and reread the one before it first so I can make it last longer...thats how much I love this fic.

Author's Response: Do you know how much I love reviews? I do. Love them. I *live* off of them. So tasty and fat free! Aww, I love that you reread. Makes me feel like an ass for not updating for so long. I\'m working on rectifying that. Don\'t know how just yet, but reviews like this motivate me. Thanks!

Sigh, you make it so hard to be upset with you..

Even though I would have loved a longer chapter you more than made up for it with this superb chapter...I was hoping and waiting for a more intimate look into Marie and her past and you delivered once again, the piano scene was perfect and actually pretty close to one that I have been wanting to see in a fic for a while.

You play Marie's sassy attitude and vulnerability side by side so perfectly and Logan's gruffness just makes a wonderful contrast to her as well.

Cant wait for more from you...ya know...no pressure...lol

Author's Response: There\'s no excuse for not getting to this sooner. Other than the shitstorm that happened to be my life immediately following my last update. I couldn\'t touch anything Rogan for a while. Needless to say, I\'m terribly sorry. Going back to these reviews has helped immensely and I hope to be able to update sooner rather than later. I just want to make sure that after all this time I give you guys something that\'s sub-par.

Just re-read the story because I am desperate for an update *puppy dog eyes*

Author's Response: I know. I\'m a complete & utter ass. Life turned less than exceptional in the Spring & now I fear that my beta has drowned in a pile of her own work. Search & rescue missions have been under way for my muse and my beta for quite some time now. Trust me, I haven\'t forgotten about this piece and have no intentions of leaving it unfinished. It was a matter of getting my life back on track & now waiting for my beta to catch her breath. It truly helps to know that people still read this and are interested. Thank you!

I feel like a jerk for prodding you for an update :( Had know idea what you were going through and Im so sorry.

However, I am super excited your back and was so fucking stoked to see this update that I paused my new episode of Trueblood (SOOOOKIE, BEEEEEL) just to read this and was not disappointed.

Hope your real life gets back on track and I will be first to sign that petition..seriously..

Author's Response: Oh don\'t. I feel like a jerk for not updating when I\'ve had these next few chapters sitting on my hard drive. I just haven\'t gone back to them with everything that\'s happened & then my beta got busy. Nothing really tangible keeping me from updating though. It\'s hard to explain. I don\'t deserve those of you who\'ve stuck around, but I am beyond thrilled that you\'re here! And I\'m bowled over that you paused True Blood for this!!!!! Really! I can\'t promise the same for anyone else here. I heart me some True Blood bad. Although I\'m Team Eric...with a side of Alcide. Greedy? ;)

Hmm, Alcide and Logan in the cage is something I would love to see.

Author's Response: I never thought about that...but now that you mention it....that would be hot!

"It is harder to love than to find someone to love."

...The path of the Xmen has become much darker in recent years. Rogue finds her way to the mansion one night and meets our favorite surly Canadian--but has she been there before? And what exactly do they want with her?

OK..I have decided that no matter the plot Im going to read anything you write from this day forward...seriously your use of words could make even the most useless drivel (Ahem,Twilight) breathtakingly interesting...you should write books..lots of books so that I dont have to drive to the library on my lunch breaks just to see if you have updated.

Author's Response: OK...If you weren\'t a girl, and we weren\'t online, and if I weren\'t (somewhat) sane, I would ask you to marry me. That\'s how much I love you for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

There are not enough adjectives to describe how much I love this fic.

Author's Response: Oh, mess. I wish I could hug you. Thank you so, so, so much. This put a huge smile on my face.

While keeping the transition between themes in chapters makes sense it does not mean I cant be upset with you for making me wait even longer for more development!!

This was...brutal...in a good way, the pain and just...rawness in Rogue and the internal war of Logan was just amazing.

Author's Response: Oh, lord. I want to hug you and run around screaming at the same time...it\'d be a little awkward, sprinting in circles while giving someone a bearhug, but I think we could do it. Thank you very very very much.

I'm so glad you are back!! I have been reading this since it was first posted and often reread it.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you, that makes me so happy.
