Without a doubt, these last few paragraphs are the most beautiful and insightful interpretation of the iconic scene that is the core of this fandom and the reason I am still devoted to Logan after all these years and all the disappointing X-men movies later. Thank you!

AMAZING!! I LOVE THIS!! Wow, what a ride! It followed the movie so well, that its almost like I should watch it again, just to see if I missed all of the obvious Rogan scenes! ahaha. A definite favorite. I really hope you continue this with the other movies. Until then, I am off to read some MORE of your Rogan fics. Much love to them. Very happy reader!

I'm a sucky reviewer of the first order. But this was damned beautiful. A work of art, Babe. I devoured it in one day and neglected motherly duties and wifely householdy things to finish. I was late to pick up my daughter from school because I got caught up in the second part of things. Thank you for so completely transfixing and fascinating me.

Author's Response: You're more than welcome, thanks for reading. :)

Well! All I have to say is Well Done! I had really lost the plot to this one, but a little back reading got me up to speed and the last chapter was brilliant. Please keep writing.

"Marie may be better for Logan’s reputation as a badass than he is. Gonna have to rectify that." She really is, throughout this entire series.

I like your version better. If I had millions of dollars and a time machine I'd want X1 to turn out like this. Perfect blend of AU & movie moments. You even dodged the whole "me heart belongs to someone else" thing beautifully. I feel like I was exorcising my Jean issues while reading this. I didn't want to push her out of the jet....as much.

I've always liked your Marie in this series. I think I may have mentioned this in a previous review, but I really really appreciate the delicate balance between this sometime-borrowed sassy confidence from the renters in her brain & the almost naive insecurity of being seventeen. She's really a three-dimensional character here.

I'm so sad to see this end - it was a great ride. I hope you're not done with writing. Please come back soon!

"In the spirit of getting fucking on with it, Logan doesn’t comment on the fact that it took three supposedly trained superheroes to dispatch one leap frog whose best weapon was his tongue, for shit’s sake." Thank you! That always bothered the shit out of me when I watched X1.

"And maybe, a piece down the road, neither of them paying too close attention, Logan would’ve given his life to Marie a different way." Oh I loved this. Love love loved how you wrote this last part, but especially this line.

“No, you’re the worst case scenario.” He really is.

"He was a little off, earlier. Xavier doesn’t have it in him to brainwash kids into soldiers, true, but evangelizing them into X-Men isn’t as different as the old man probably likes to think." Loved this line. There have been plenty of stories w/ the theme of Prof X manipulating kids to be X-Men one way or another, but I've never come across this particular view. I like it.

I totally dug the Annie reference too.

I'm also digging the action & how you went about incorporating Magneto's machine in your universe.

So so so so so glad you updated this. I'm breaking one of my rules & reading this on my work computer because I couldn't wait 12 hours. I figured I'd try & review every chapter too even though it's all done. On to the next one!

This is a fantastic series. I've read it several times, and enjoy it just as much as the first read every time. I hope you do plan on continuing when you have time.

Please, oh please, continue this...

Will you be continuing this? I have just read all chapters and enjoyed it a lot. Especially your Rogue!

Ah, continuation. There's nothing quite like it in storytelling. A truly wonderful start to another beautiful story. I'm looking forward to the rest more than I can say.
