Hmm...you may be right about people growing more like each other after so long. Or they get more stuck in their complimentary contrasts.

I guess what I mean is that I usually read your Rogue differently. In earlier fics like Cravings or Ride or Angel, even 'No fucking place to hide' or the first part of Warrior, I saw her as his opposite - soft, patient, warm, giving, talkative, sassy, able to articulate feelings, marked, touchable, content to wait rather than act. Where they met was passion. She loved; he needed. I saw her more as a less obnoxious Cindy. Maybe that was all youth. In Warrior, we certainly saw her change over time (although I attributed that to necessity, need, and trauma).

Did your view of Rogue change, did time and age change her, or was I wrong all this time?


(And sorry to ramble AGAIN some more. *lol* I'm curious.)

Author's Response: Don't really mind, ramble all you like. Most of your ramblings give me new ideas. Has my view of Rogue changed? I don't know. I don't think I even have any particular view of her. Logan's persona feels more like mine, so it's easier to "step in" to his boots. With Marie it's more like I'm writing about a friend of mine, someone I know, but not close enough to form one, solid picture of her. This fic is my first serious attempt to build her a persona of her own instead of keeping her as Logan's shadow and a plot-device.

Heh a little claw action for Logan...
