Wonderfully written, but a not quite ending ending. So much more could go on from here, but I really enjoyed it!!

wow o geez. Such a wonderful story! And the irony of logan healing fast physically and mentally with jeans death. that was good.
"But he had smiled, just as easily as he had smiled before he let her leave, and then, without hesitation, he had pressed his bare palm against her forehead and said, wondrously, “Well, look at that. Works.”"
that was so logan! loved it!
You are an amazing writer.

I cried. Big, silent ridiculous tears. The beauty of this, the charm and splendour make me feel like if I tried to walk now I would stagger. Thank you. I was moved.

I don't quite know what to say about this one except that it's one of my favorites. Even though I'm a bit of a whore for blatant Rogan shipper-ness, I really loved everything about this story and how you wrote it.
I can tell that you have a deep appreciation for Magneto & his portrayal in the movies and you definitely did the character justice in this piece. This story produced a very visceral reaction in me. I was reduced to tears during the park scene and little pieces of this story are still floating around in my brain (I read this yesterday, had to step away, & think about what to write in my review). It's pretty haunting. I think this will be one that I come back to & read over again.
Author's Response: I don't have words to thank you for telling me about the reaction you had to this story; I'm floored by gratitude, really. But thank you so much, nonetheless. "Visceral," and "haunting;" these are unbelievable compliments, and exactly the kind of response I so wish for. Especially since you typically love "blatant Rogan shipper-ness," which I know I'm poor at providing! So double, triple thanks, for that. I hope you will continue to find little things in it during your future visits. (And, yes, I certainly did pour a lot of my mad, complicated love for Magneto into it. Sigh.)

You write it – I’ll read it is my new saying just for you!
You really do nail lines in all the right places, sometimes as a reader you’re expecting them and other times they hit out of the blue but each and every time they punch. Love the way you seem to get really in-depth with thoughts/reasoning behind actions etc and the way your characters can fall apart but still remain strong.
Loved the interaction between Rogue and Eric - far from usual on this site, we see the Prof and Scott etc but it was a nice change to see Magneto and of course there is the added bonus that you do it so damn well. So much said without being said with regards to the phone calls and e-mails, and I thought the apology para was wonderful. You build a connection between R/L running deeper than father figure/brother/ friend/lover etc. but the direction of that connection is kind of left open for the reader at the end so those needing the love fix can technically have it even if *you* didn’t want it that way! It’s the wrfa you know they’re gonna want it!!
Superbly written, an absolute joy to read - I’m there for the next one - is it planned? Written? Ready to post? At least tell me you’ve got something running in your head ;) x
Author's Response: And it seems my new saying for you should be: "you respond, I rejoice!" Your comments are incredibly detailed and thoughtful, and a real gift. Thank you so much. I'm so happy you responded to this story, as it does have a special place for me, being the first X-Men story I ever wrote. Haha, yes, I know the site I'm on... I'm treading on dangerous ground with my somewhat wishy-washy R/L portrayal! As for Magneto--as I wrote in a previous comment, I'm kind of in love with him, especially Ian McKellen's incredible portrayal of him in the films; for me he remains the most moving character in the movieverse. It'd probably be more likely to see a conventional Erik/Charles romance come out of me, before a conventional Rogue/Logan! I really have to find a way to write Magneto again. As for the next one: while I've considered doing a kind of brief vignette-type 'epilogue' to this story, there's another work that I'm thinking about, that would be something like a negative-image remix of this one. Hard to explain, but I'm sure it'll show up at some point, after Anti-Romance Story lets me out of its chokehold.
