Holy, Claw-Popping! I thought I wouldn't like this, but the way you started this out took care of my fears that Logan was just a hound dog. Love the way you write these two...Freakin' awesome scene...I was like holy Wolvie in the morning!

Author's Response: Ha, love "Holy, Claw-Popping!" I'm so glad you liked it. Yeah, the concept (Hooker!Logan) is kind of off-putting for me too, which makes it all the more puzzling to me why it really stuck in my head the way it did. Thanks so much for reviewing!

hey, just wanted to say i really loved this, but i wanted another chapter! i mean, not to sound like a perv, what you had was smutlicious enough and i thought you set it up really well, but please? if this is all the lady wrote however thanks for sharing it, i really enjoyed it. hobbits away, hey!

Author's Response: Hiya, hobbit! So sorry...I think ending fics is the hardest part (I hate how corny the ending to "Into the Woods" is but I just can't fix it). With this one I kinda like where it ended, so I'll just have to leave it up to your imagination to provide the reunion smut. ;-)

For something that you listed as a shameless PWP, it sure has a great deal of depth and sweetness. I really loved this. It was sexy and romantic with a touch of angst. I love how they are two lonely souls who are able to give each other what they both need--both physically and emotionally. That they are right for each other. I love that she tracked him down and that he was able to tell her how he felt and that he knew it would be stupid to let her go again when he had a second chance. And it all came across as totally believable. I've tagged this as a favorite, as I seem to be doing with all of your stories. I can't wait to see what you'll be posting next.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I'm so glad you liked it. And yes, it is the "fit" between Logan and Marie's strengths and weaknesses that I always find so compelling. Such a compliment to know you added it to your favorites!

I'm glad she tracked him down...probably the him in her head telling her where he would be... this was great...sorry its over, but this is a good place to stop it.

Debi

Author's Response: Yeah, I didn't really specify but I figured she would know his old haunts from having absorbed him. I realized afterwards I should have made the gap longer than two weeks (it's a lot farther than I thought between Westchester and Laughlin City!) but oh well. Thanks for reviewing!

uh oh...he never learns...by the way I loved your chapter notes on these...this one especially

Debi

Author's Response: :-D Yeah, I think his low self-esteem kind of got in his way there. He was such a good boy about not touching Marie as long as he knew it was something about *her*, but when he thought it was a rejection of *him* all bets were off. Okay, so he's a little dumb, good thing he's so pretty. ;-)

Well, I gotta say that is certainly differnt for me...I haven't read one that started like this before...love it though...he can certainly get into some predicaments, can't he? lol

Debi

Author's Response: Yes, it's a very strange starting-point for a story. No idea why it got stuck in my head like it did -- probably just the challenge of a.) making Hooker!Logan even remotely plausible and b.) managing to make it even a little bit romantic. Hope I succeeded! Thanks so much for reviewing!

Okay, this was sexy as all get out. A perfect compliment to the previous chapter. But I also loved how sweet it is--like how he watched her sleeping and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. The line about wanting to cuddle and corrupt her all at once was perfect too.

BTW, thanks for the Slurpee idea. I needed a double for this chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for reviewing! Yeah, sweet Logan is definitely a keeper.

Every now and then, a para comes along that just sums everything up - their entire relationship, the entire spirit of a fic, the reason we just LOVE to write Rogan ... and, imho at least ... you nailed it with this.

A half sob from her at that. “Impossible things.” She shook her head, and at first he thought she wasn’t going to say anymore. “That I’m not poison. That I’m not cursed. That he didn’t hate me. That he cared for me. And that he wasn’t afraid of me.” She put her head down again, and he saw the tears leaking out from under her eyelids. “I just thought...if there was just one person out there who wasn’t afraid of me, maybe it might be okay.”

Him, in her head, telling her to look beyond her own fears, and take a chance. That, for me, is the essence of Rogan and despite the fact I love the sexual potential, I love the feral, I love the twist on age old stereotypes, THAT is why I read, and write. The fact that you found that in the midst of a story allegedly about ManWhoreLogan is what makes this romantic and heartwarming. Thank you!

Author's Response: Wow, what a touching review. I am so glad you liked that part. I feel sometimes that I go overboard with Logan and Rogue's "issues," -- I do so love pathos and angst, and they both have such great potential there. I was worried there that Rogue was coming across as a little melodramatic. But you're right...the thing I find sexiest and most touching is when Logan acts against "type," and to know that the Logan in her head is brave enough to be forthcoming about the way he feels just because he knows her thoughts and knows that she needs to hear it SO much...that was very sweet to me.

THIS was absolute PERFECTION!!! Once I saw it was finished I just KNEW there would be no time to stop for chapter by chapter reviews and you DID NOT disappoint!! I read through this like a house afire and now that I have it locked tightly away into my favs I can read and read and read all to my naughty little hearts' content!! I LOVED IT!!

Author's Response: Wow, this is such a compliment! I'm so glad you liked it, and that you liked it enough to favorite it is very touching. And I'm also very impressed that you know how to bold words in a review! ;-)

PWP went out the window and we ended up with a very well written fic that was thoroughly enjoyable to read and that went above and beyond the smut! Great scenes, descriptions and dialogue giving v nice visuals [and no I don’t just mean* those* scenes ;) ] loved the ending, this last chapter worked extremely well and ‘fit’ nicely. Really enjoyed this one, well done x

Author's Response: I am so glad you liked it, and that you thought the last chapter worked well. I really had no idea going in that Marie was going to have such a breakdown. ;-) Thanks again for your reviews.

Aww :) Your version of Logan is so shweet!
Thanks!

Author's Response: So glad you liked it! I thought he was quite sweet in the previous chapter, but I was worried that he came across a little cold in this one. In my mind he was just trying not to fall all over Marie when he first saw her, and it was his self-doubt/fear that was makign him play it so cool, but it's hard to convey that even though it was written from his point of view. And I had no idea before I wrote it that Marie would fall apart so completely...I'm finding it very odd how the characters surprise me. Thanks so much for your review!

Your doctor skills transcend your real life. How else did you know that the best prescription for a research paper-induced headache was a Rogan break & closure to this story?

Is it okay if I pay my bill in the form of a Loyalties update later this week?

Author's Response: So glad I could help with your headache, but I am sorry our billing department didn't inform you that your Rogue Cross/Logan Shield plan is out-of-network with our office. In addition to the copay of one Loyalties update later this week, you will be balance-billed for another Loyalties update the following week. Please do not make us send your account to collections (i.e., telling RoseSumner to whip you into shape). ;-)

HEAT ALERT! Wow.
Also, poor Marie (and Logan). Her powers always seem to switch on at the most inopportune moments.
Loved this chapter; can't wait for next one. Keep up the great work! :D

Author's Response: Yes, I am quite mean to poor Marie and Logan. But all the pathos just makes the happy ending that much happier, right? Thanks for reviewing!

Oh. Oh. Oh! All that sensual heat and gorgeous imagery, and then the tragedy bites. It's exactly what we expected to happen, but still, it HURT to watch it unfold. Lovely, lovely work. I think your porn has been overtaken by your plot, maam - don't you hate it when that happens? :D

Author's Response: Well, I've never been clear on whether PWP is Porn WIth Plot or Porn Without Plot, but either way I think my plot did run away a bit with this story. I'm so glad you liked it, I've been loving your stories, so it's such a compliment to see a review from you.

Very nicely done, you have to write something v good, slightly different and with an edge to grab my attention – just getting down and dirty doesn’t’ cut it! I’ve read far too much over the years and so many times [especially with smut] it just all sounds the same. glad you didn't get them to wrap it up because i really liked the pace and the attention to detail at the start, the master/pupil, experience/inexperience shone through with the way you started off with her back to him and it worked really well. ‘the way he was touching her was not calculated or planned.’ Loved this line, showed that on some level her instincts knew a) what she needed/wanted and b) that he was the one who could deliver!

From the stop through to the touch - again really well done and great to read. As well as ‘undiagnosed feelings’ there’s Logan not knowing, Marie not telling, all the misunderstandings and emotion. Two lines i loved:-
‘he wanted to cuddle and corrupt her all at once’ This one because it's showing the two sides of logan to not only the reader but to himself as well.
‘Daylight comes and you’re just a whore to her’ this one because it throws you right back to the beginning - a reminder to all of the reason it started.
Looking forward to the rest x

Author's Response: Thank you so much for such a lovely, detailed, review. Yes, I definitely know what you mean. So much smut is forgettable, I think that's why I didn't really worry about such lengthy non-smut chapters...the build-up is the best part. Glad the pace was okay. Yeah, I hadn't really thought about it at the start, but I really liked the tension between Marie's rules and Logan's experience -- it kind of kept the upper hand shifting back and forth between them, so Logan wasn't completely dominant and Marie just along for the ride. And I'm you didn't find it really irritating the way Marie stopped the action -- I was quite peeved with her myself, but for me if their mutations aren't key to the storyline you're just reading any story about any two people. Thanks again for pointing out the lines you particularly liked. You probably know by now I'm a big fan of Sexy!Logan vs. Protective!Logan and of course saddling Logan with giant self-esteem issues. Making him a sorta-whore was kind of fun in the end -- as a character he's always so confident about sex, it was an interesting way to make him a little insecure in the bedroom. I do so love causing these two distress!

As a buddy from grad school used to say, "Pant, pant." (I mean he would literally say it, not do it. ;) )

BTW, let me commend you for avoiding the dreaded word "ministrations," which I find to be the anti-sexy.

Author's Response: "Pant, pant" is quite a compliment! Yeah, I think we all have certain words that get to us in a very anti-sexy way. I was determined not to say anything about Marie's "core." Usually I try not to actually name any genitals or parts thereof, but this smut called out for a little less propriety than usual.

Ack! You're killing me here! lol This was soooooooo good! My goodness, if my fan weren't already on, I think I would have been sweatin' reading this chapter. ;) I'm curious to see what happens next. Poor Marie...
