Does it make me a complete dork that I waited up an extra half-hour in hopes that a new chapter of this story would be posted? It does? Thought so!
Author's Response: Dork? No. Flattering to me? Yes! Glad I posted this one a little early - don't want to be the source of your insomnia.

omg poor logan, i can feel my heart breaking for him. and i like where u said about a cure for the cure, i was thinking along the same lines (before you wrote it) what if logan mutation created a cure for the cure before it went away and is in his blood, and to test it rogue took it with anyone knowing but her and Hank, just an idea i though i would through in there.
cant wait till chapter 10
Author's Response: Ya know, that 'cure/cure from Logan's blood' idea is sorta brilliant! I know NOTHING of medicine, but that's a great little piece of bait for a storyline.

If he tries anything like this I'll beat the living shit out off him - and now that he is de-mutated it will hurt!
I hope they find a cure for the cure or that, like in the movie, the cure doesn't last... at least for Logan.
Author's Response: <<< beat the living shit out off him - and now that he is de-mutated it will hurt!
*** LOL! de-mutated. I like that word.

well Damn! That is a shitty thing to happen to Logan. Hopefully they will realize that the cure wears off. (unless you don't go that route) I loved this chapter. Great job! Update soon.
Author's Response: Yep, and Magneto's just the type to do that. Evil bastard! About going that route or not - well, that'll give away some major plot that I've worked VERY HARD on, so no comment. >:-)

This can't be happening!!!!!! This is not good.
I can't wait for the next chapter, it sucks because I'm going on vacation where there is no computer. I can't wait until I get back to the story.

If he was going to pursue a woman’s attentions, he would absolutely not play fair.
Ha! Too true!
Oh but you are evil with your cliffhangers in this *g*
Logan had never, ever yelled for her in that tone of voice.
I almost don't want to know what's gonna happen next. I think the next chapter will be read peering between the gaps between my fingers... and possibly with a cushion to hide behind as well. This cannot be good.

This chapter has finally caught me for the story! I'm a little stressed right now, so I admit to often just browsing and finding some of the previous chapters a little tediously heavy on dialogue, but I also realise that it has become so rare to have the Bobby-Logan-Rogue triangle actually spelt out in its own right (instead of as a preamble to Rogan smut ;-) that I have lost the patience to follow it. Which I should; it's worth it.
But now, this chapter. There's a lot (more?) succint lines here that capture the feeling of the situation and the relationships really well.
The light-hearted one of Rogue and Logan in company, when there is no angst and you can see how well they go together and with others if given half a chance: "they’d had a lengthy and pun-riddled discussion in the jeep whether it should be optical mouses or optical meese..."
Their comfortable familiarity with each other that has not faded into indifferently taking the other for granted: "Rogue and Logan stared each other down, neither one blinking, until Marie got bored enough to surrender."
Logan's way of 'courting' Rogue perfectly in character with this relationship - no need to be brash ("It just sat there and glowed at her."), and all him ("If he was going to pursue a woman’s attentions, he would absolutely not play fair."). Wherever he got it, he has much more experience in this department than Bobby - which could have made Logan a calculating bastard in this situation (unsettling prospect), but it clearly hasn't (" He hated to see her so unhappy...").
Quite nice how well their two approaches to this new possibility and their POV in general are set off against each other:
"...it would help pick her spirits up. - Jewelry always made women happy, right? - When in doubt, stick with the classics. - And it would put enough pressure on her to take him seriously..."
"It was the most elegant thing she’d ever seen. - Rogue goggled at the necklace and chains, too amazed to make a snap decision. - ...a simple chain that wouldn’t snag on any sweaters... - Her radiating joy .... Rogue stifled herself, not knowing for sure whether Logan would want..."
But this is all play, and in the instant the outside worlds starts meddling again (great how you portray Logan's reaction with painful memory and fighting instinct), they are both back down to business - and to the underlying comradeship, care and commitment towards each other that is much more precious than oaths of undying love.
Author's Response: I love the 'calculating bastard' quality in Logan's character, and this gives him a beneficial place to exercise that bastard. I also love Intelligent Logan, so he can play all the angles.

It was true; she was ready to make the plunge into a sexual relationship, but not on a whim, and not....
The thought that crossed her mind shook her to the core.
Not with Bobby.
Yes!
No Bobby touches and no Bobby sex!

ohhh great chapter. I love Logan evesdropping. Wish he was just a bit more jeslous though. I am one of the few that actually like bobby so please don't be too hard on him. (unless he deserves it!) I really liked this chapter. Hope you update very soon!
Author's Response: I'm sorry, but Bobby is fair game in my universe. Mwahahaha! *oopsie*
He's not so bad, just so.... Bobby.

Interesting. I think Logan will have to fight for Rogue, I hope he wins.
I'm excited for the next update! Great work.

I finally catched up on this series. I got very excited by the plot line of this story. It has so much potential and many possible outcomes.
Yet, I grew confused when I finally noticed that this series are post X3. It seemed to me that this was a canon, where the characterisations would fit prefectly. As it is, I can see an emotional gap in the actions of the characters. There's sorrow, hurt, rage, trauma missing.
As a whole this was a exciting reading and applaud your plot line.
Author's Response: SOmeone else commented on the lack of traumatic emotion in the wake of the entire Phoenix saga. I tried to comment on that yesterday, but the archive froze on me. argh?
I played on the sense of survival and progress that I thought the closing scenes of X3 brought forth, particularly the long shot of Logan standing on the terrace, basking in the sun of a new day as Storm greeted children returning for a new school year.
And, the rest of the story is going to get rather intense and dark, and I specifically did NOT want it bogged down by a load of Jean angst. I abhor heavy, dark stories that go on and on and depress the reader, so the focus of this story lies in other directions.

Lot going on in this fic. The plotting and intrigue sounds like it took a GREAT deal of time, and I'm interested to see the ways in which this post-X3 world operates. Nice hints of Magneto's plans (and John in particular, Yay! John) and the question mark left by the new teacher. The suggestion that Rogue, Bobby, et.al. may have to fight soon. You've given us a bit of a lull in this latest chapter, but I'm looking forward to see where it goes.
It seems like everyone has gotten over the death from X3 pretty well, though. Has a lot of time past? The tone of the fic (and of the characters) is generally hopeful. Storm seems positive. Logan has gotten over his crying. No one seems to miss Scott. Poor Scott. *pets him*
And in this chapter? Logan is so charming, great sense of humor, and I love the fairly innocent courting of Rogue. It *does* kind of feel like courting, because there's the sexual tension there, which he's aware of, but he's working more to make her feel comfortable, open up, get to know him. But it's not so much old-fashioned as it is situational: Bobby, their own past. I loved the way Rogue tried to make the relationship more equal but ended up in a tickle fight. *g* And WHAT a cliffhanger! Meanie.

Author's Response: That line just oozed Magneto to me. I can see him, standing, smiling at his minions, that aura of smug megalomania seeping from his pores. Gotta love Buckethead!
