Please update soon! I'd love to see where this is going and how Logan and Marie end up together. PLEASE!! LOL

I hope to read more soon. Love what you have so far. Keep up the great work. ;)

Really engaging story. Mostly, I think, because I can not tell where and how you are going to develop things.

Also, I'd give a lot to know what Logan was thinking during the 'You remind me of Victor' scene. I couldn't stop rereading the whole thing over and over again.

Thank you.

Enough with the self-flagellation! Good chapters are worth waiting for, no matter how long. Hope you're feeling better, and that your muse returns. I really liked how this one started out grim, and then Rogue's own thoughts lightened up and got more humorous as their mood lightened. The finger check, and the "no one should have to see that," etc. She's pretty damn funny when she's not being terrorized by the tenants of her mind.

I like the idea that interaction with Victor has left Rogue a little feral-wary, although I'm also glad that hopefully nothing too bad happened to her. Although, I have to admit I'm a bit mystified by this part:

Realizing for the first time how dangerous and damning pronouns can be.

I didn't actually see a pronoun in what she said. Unless this is a mystery to be solved later? More likely I'm just dense.

So thrilled to see this story progressing. I absolutely *love* the slow build, it doesn't feel slow at all, just delicious.

Author's Response: You are too kind, my favorite doctor ;p I forget who said it, but it's probably been said a lot - can't have things be too dark. It's jut not in my nature. I need some irreverent humor to balance things out. As for the pronouns thing - that's the point. There were no pronouns in that sentence where she says what Sabretooth did to her. It's a glaring example of my own weirdness. In circumstances where I don't want to or can't cognitively put myself - even verbally - where I don't want to be / or am not comfortable being in - I leave self-identifying pronouns out. Like, if I don't put "I" or "me" in there, it's like I wasn't a part of it, it didn't happen to me. We all know how powerful words can be, especially once vocalized. Does that make sense? No? Yeah, it's pretty convoluted.

My mother and I watched it together when I was younger and she used to sing me all the alternative line that they used to yell at the screen when they went to the theater. I go at least once a year now and yell them. She comes with me sometimes. I always love it.

Anyway, I love this story. I like the pacing of it and the fact that it isn't "Hello Wolverine. Hello Rogue. Logan. Marie. Trust me. Okay. Make love to me. Okay." All happening on the same day. (Not that that's always horrible mind you). You can slowly see a friendly relationship emerge from mutual habitation/distrust.

I like the thought and the character development in this story and I think you have an amazing grasp on everything and everyone in your world. Bravo on the original idea and carrying it out well. I look forward to reading more.

Author's Response: Haha that's awesome! My undergrad would perform it live every year & I wish I had taken advantage & gone to at least one performance! Although there's no substitute for the original guy who plays Dr. Frankenfurter. Thank you times a million! Pacing is one of my big worries. At first I was terrified of going to fast, but now I'm worried I'm dragging it on. Damned if I do, damned if I don't, right? Muchas gracias for sticking it out with me!

Pfft, stop that. If you were a d-bag, you'd abandon this story with a rude note saying OMG I'M OUTTA HERE CAUSE YOU ALL SUCK AND I DON'T WANNA TALK TO YOU NO MORE ALSO BTW YOUR MAMA WEARS COMBAT BOOTS IN CHURCH, or something equally d-baggy. You can't help being sick. (Says the woman who had five, count 'em, colds, plus appendicitis, last school year. Being sick gets you a free pass, IMO.)

That said... yay, you're back! I like the chapter; great plot and character development, and I'm happy that Rogue finally admitted to Logan what's been freaking her out so badly. And I loved her parting shot to Xavier. That's gotta sting.

Glad you're feeling better.

Oh, one small thing that caught my eye:

Although his voice is noticeably softer, it still carries that distinctive rumbling timber.

That should be spelled timbre. It's not like theatre/theater, where one is British English and one is American. Timber always means wood; timbre refers to the character of a sound. :)

Author's Response: Oh mess. I feel like I've been caught with my pants down. The spelling has been changed. Gracias! And muchas gracias for the kind review. It's always a super nice, decadent treat to find that people are still on board & liking the ride. Balancing development with what I hope is decent writing is tricky so I'm glad you don't hate it ;) Hopefully my body is going to stop with this mutiny business and my muse will return to me in growly, feral, gold-hot pants glory!

so which rocky character is logan? brad? eddy? *snickers* frank? or should we go for broke and say rif-raff? (he can't be rocky, that's just... no.)enjoyed the story as always, would just love to see it updated more often... there's an interesting plot and excellent characterisations as usual. just please, more!

Author's Response: What, your Wolverine doesn't wear gold hot pants? Really though, can you imagine? Wolverine + gold hot pants + cigar? I really want someone to run with that twisted plot bunny. I want to be a good updater, but illness has kicked me in the butt every month and my beta & I have to find time coordinating. Also, my muse has completely left me - I really haven't written since March. I just can't get past one scene a few chapters ahead. I'm a bit worried. I'm hoping it comes back when I'm pressed for time in school & should be doing scholarly things. Maybe those hot pants will do the trick ;)
