Loving it so far. :)

This story is more angsty than anything I've ever read. I am sooo depressed. And to be honest the ending hardly makes up to it, i still feel very depressed, maybe only with a very tiny spark of hope inside my aching heart..... xD

Well, where to start?
I am relatively new to Marie and Logan - Fan Fictions. I like the pairing, over all I like Wolverine in the movies (Hugh Jackman - I'd like to do sooo many nasty things with him :D)And the idea of him an Rogie is just very cute.
So, after I read some very good stories of an author called Becca (really, she's a goddess, her homepage is loganandmarie.com) I found myself looking for other good stories and then schwupps! (that's a german term, at the moment I#m lost for the right translation xD) I found this side and - by far more important - your stories!! They are VERY good, even if I find myself a little bit unsure about what to think of all the different ways to create a universe where Logan and Marie can be/ are together. It's all new to me. But after reading some of your work I'm opening up to all different kind of settings and plots and whatever. I definitely keep up to your work because they carry so much emotion and thats the most important thing of a story - at least if you ask me xD

Well, that's it. I did some babbling, I hope it's not that bad I did. And, as you probably know by now, I'm not a native speaker but come from good ol' germany, so I apologize for all the mistakes I made xD

So. Keep on working, you've got one more fan here waiting for updates, new stories and stuff. double thumps up! :D

Author's Response: Lmao!!!! I think this site is just a means to bring together all the people who would like to do nasty things to Hugh Jackman. Thank you so much, I'm honored that you feel that way (about you discovering my writing, not making you depressed....okay, I'm kinda proud of the depressed thing too. Making a reader feel any strong emotion, even hatred, is an accomplishment for a writer). I hope you have a great time exploring this fandom, there are many brilliant minds to be found...I'd suggest you try Aranenumanesse, Jenn, and Terri. All goddesses.

As you know, I absolutely adore this story, but as lyrical/haunting/entertaining/true as the characters and plot and angst and imagery and all the rest are, my absolute favorite part is:

His body suggests, 'Tree stump?'

I would give you a Pulitzer and Booker and Mark Twain Prize for that line alone. ;-) Thanks again for leading me to this site, and for sharing your talent with us!

Author's Response: Hahaha!!! Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Writing that line was a lot of fun, not to mention the happy daydreams that followed. >hugs< Happy Thanksgiving!

Wonderfully done story encompassing the spectrum of Rogan’s newly found love to loss, pain, and heartbreak. I thought the change from the past to present was nicely done. Logan’s homecoming scene when she runs to him…I think it’s one of my favorite interpretations of how it should have gone..I can soo see X1’s Marie like that, that feeling of pure joy she has knowing he’s returned and his response was so him, surprise but so pleased ( you know that it was secretly what he had been hoping for). I thoroughly enjoyed every word that brought them together..and like how uncharacteristically un-smooth and eager he gets with her, especially once the kissing starts...shows how it’s all so real and new for him, nothing practiced.
And onto their present, how they couldn’t share their grief and their own guilt and fear of losing each other invariably led to what they feared…painful to read. I don’t think I’ve ever disliked Jean as much as I did in this one,( though Heal Over’s J. is running a close second)..she literally preyed upon these two..I thought we would get a chance to see Marie and Logan figure out the truth about her, but in the end, she wasn’t worth the effort. When I read the end, I got it…those words were enough..but when I saw your author’s reply in the review section..I admit I was happy to see how you saw what happened to them..that he took her away and they began again, and I wanted to thank you for that..as much as I like to imagine an ending for characters I’ve come to care about and always do when it’s not so clear-cut, since it’s the author’s vision and words who bring them to life for me, it brings a sense of closure to read what the author thinks happens also…that’s just me lol, it’s kinda ironic I’m saying this with fanfic lol and I think yours always end perfectly..just trying (in a convoluted way) to say that I like seeing where you saw them end up too. Thanks so, so, so very much.

Author's Response: Wow, this has been a great day. I got cake, pizza, a easy day at work, and a review from one of my favorite people. The psp Im typing on has a space limit, otherwise Id fill this page with thank yous...Because of the angst level of this fic, I didnt expect a review from you. But Im infinitely happy to find one! I understand/appreciate/love what you said about the ending. Thank you a billion times. Goodnight.

please?

Author's Response: Sorry! :-) When it's done, it's done.

the sudden rushed ending. kinda disappointed. wat does jean falling out of the jet have to do with anything?

Author's Response: Im sorry you felt it was rushed....the "epilouge" was just a joke.

First of all, I already told you this in another fic review, but you write in a way you make us feel like we're inside the story. The interaction of the characters is so real that I feel like I’m actually seeing them. I also like the way you portrait Logan as a not-perfect human being doing things he might regret later but he can’t help (or dont wnt to) because his instincts.

My favorite part is when you write about the way they met and what happens after that, more than the miscarriage and the way Logan fucked up being with Jean (What a bitch!). But that’s just a personal opinion, the whole fic is real good. Keep with the good work! (Sorry for the spelling English is not my native language).

Author's Response: Thank you so, so, sooo much. This was the perfect thing to hear; I was really struggling with this fourth chapter. >hugs, squeals<

It's so well written but it's also painful to read because it's so real, and as a viewer from the outside we can see that Jean is manipulating Marie's pain. I know you can only write as fast as you can, but it's hard when the chapter ends on such a difficult note with the characters :( Either way, definitely another wonderfully written, intense, and interesting story! Please keep writing.

Author's Response: Omg. >hugs< Thank you, thats beautiful to hear. Im sorry about the angst-part two will be happier.

The contrast between the opening and the main section was amazing. One minute you’re breaking my heart, (and it has to be brilliant writing to break my heart), the next minute I am grinning and as excited as Rogue is about Logan’s return.

My favourite part was written from Rogue’s POV, when Logan looked up at her in the window and grinned. Perfect!

I especially loved that you wrote the scenes from both POV’s – it was great to see their individual inner thoughts and interpretations.

Okay, so now you have me hooked...

Author's Response: So glad you liked it; I was worried more about this story than Heal Over. Super Madagascarmambo thanks!! Im happy you're hooked.

Dear lord here I am chapter reading again!
Not an easy subject to write - loved the 2 x paras containing *would he* and all the unanswerable questions, and then the *he was supposed to* lines with all their sadness, anger & frustration in the acceptance of the truth.

Well thought out and understandable misunderstanding -
hers ‘And his touch makes me sick now because I know--I know--it's driven by a sense of duty’
and his ‘Marie blames him. She never looks him in the eye, and even when she does he can feel the betrayal in them.

I have to say I am more a fan of the beginning-middle-end (and preferably in that order!) but am looking forward to the rest of the build up that brings us to where you started and then to some sort of conclusion whichever you may choose & on that subject………Love a happy ending but love a good angsty one too (if believable) if I have one request it will be for not posting alternate endings - choose one or the other and stick with it x

Author's Response: Yes! Hell yes! YES YES YES!!! So happy to see your name on here again. Thank you. (>continues chanting yes while typing<)........With your "beginning-middle-end", you reminded me of a book I read a few months ago. It mentions that theme. I read it in a day, couldn't put it down. I think you'd like it--"The Thirteenth Tale". It's in my top ten of all time....Thanks for the advice. I dont mind alternate endings, but I didn't intend this one to include one.

I like Rubber Duckies and Oreos!

It was great. Can't wait to see how she got pregnant ;)

Author's Response: Who doesn't? Lol. Gracias.

Love how you shifted from marie's pov to the third person to describe logan. And the sadness in the beginning... I cried. Perfectly executed. I was just telling my husband how lucky we have been not to have to go through the trial of a miscarriage. And i agree perfectly with marie. The child is a child, not a fetus. Especially to a mother. Its feeling it inside of you and hearing the heartbeat and nurturing it while waiting for that first breath that begins the bond between a mother and child. Cant wait to read more!

Author's Response: I hope you don't take this the wrong way--I'm so happy I could make you cry. Thank you!! :~)
