So it isn't the end! This is wonderfully dark, disturbing, and hot. Hope you continue with this story!

Really want to see more of this...any chance? Or is the "end" at the end of the chapter a bad sign?

Author's Response: Thank you! Um, no, 'the end' was just a bad choice of words. It should have said 'End of Chapter' or words to that effect. I swear none of my works in progress have been abandoned. I absolutely WILL FINISH them all, but a divorce, a full-time job and trying to keep the lines of communication open with my two teenagers have put a serious crimp in my writing time. To say nothing of having my muse skip town without so much as a 'by your leave'. She shows up, gives me these great ideas, helps me through a few chapters and then skiddaddles. It's happened before, but she's never been out of pocket for quite this long. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know that folks are still reading -- and still caring about -- these stories. It's very humbling, which is why I am over the I-wrote-this-with-my-own-little-brain piety. I will take any and all comments, plot ideas and suggestions...anything to jackhammer through the writer's block. If you have an idea, throw it at me. I think my email is in my profile somewhere and it's still the same after all these years. I will, of course, give credit where it is due. Thanks again for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed this one. -- Wendie

Probably waaaaay too late for this. But please continue this. This is excruciating and painful and angsty. And absolutely beautiful, and I need to see how this ends!!

Author's Response: Nope! Not too late at all, although I don't know if you will even see this reply, since it IS quite late indeed. I will finish this story. Jean will get hers. Logan and Rogue will get theirs -- and each others' (*nudge, nudge*, *wink, wink*) I just can't say for absolutely certain when all of this will happen. Please see responses to above reviews. But rest assured I am eternally grateful that you took the time to let me know you liked this one. And that it still matters how it turns out. You made my day -- back on May 30 -- and again today while I was re-reading and responding to these reviews. Thanks again. -- Wendie

Write moooore. Please!

Author's Response: Will dooooooooooo! Really, I will. I don't know exactly when (see responses to above reviews), but there is more to this story, I promise. Thank you again for taking the time to let me know this one matters to you. -- Wendie

Hope more will come, this is far too good to be left unfinished -- I desperately need to see everyone get what's coming to them...

Incase you're still out there somewhere- any chance of more of this?!?

This is fab! I don't think I've ever been so sad to see an incomplete story, but in order for the world to make sense again, there definitely needs to be more of this ;) otherwise jean will win - and we just can't have that! Hope you find some inspiration.

Hol-yyyy **insert expletives and various uncomprehending nonsense sounds** This...Oh my goodness....THIS. It's fantastic, Wendie. Might as well resign myself to the cats using my jaw as a playtoy, cuz I can't pick it off the floor. You never fail to amaze. There are far, far too many lines in this chapter for me to quote--please assume that each and every one of them was brilliant. Thank you for putting your fingers on the keyboard again and sharing this masterful piece with us.

Oh wow. So good to see more of this. Devastating chapter. Hope it won't be so long till the next one!!
