These last two chapters have not been slow at all! I found this chapter to be especially riveting. The emotions were just so raw and intense between them. I really liked the way that they finally came to an understanding--Logan finally getting her to access his memories, Marie coming to realize that he really is sorry and that he cares for her. I like the fact that they need to work things out but that they are still desperate for each other.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you felt that way. I think I just get self-conscious when chapters have less "action" going on and are more introspective/character development. I'm glad that their rapprochement felt natural to you. Thanks so much for your review!

Your writing is phenomenal! Not only do you have fantastically creative and fresh ideas for the characters, but you consistently root them in a believable emotional reality that is so compelling and super smutty good :) I usually don't read stories that haven't been completed, but I couldn't resist starting another good tale by you - I loved The Prisoner by the way. And, up until now, I wasn't a member of this site so I couldn't review. But after burning through all 10 chapters in one sitting I had to login and send you my cyber love! Please keep the chapters coming - I'm definitely hoping this one will be epically long and angsty :)
Author's Response: I'm so honored that you joined this site just to review...that is so touching. Thank you SO much for all the compliments! Hope you enjoy the next chapter...it is very long and smutty! :-D

What a wonderful ending to the chapter. No words, just a squeezing of the hands. Great job.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. :-D

Ummm best chapter ever?? Loved it, as usual. I like how you've managed to develop Logan and Marie's relationship. Doc, you're doing an awesome job. And if you don't update soon, I'm gonna have Wolverine make YOU his next "Target" :-D
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the encouragement. And (he he), given what Wolverine does to his "target" in the next chapter, your threat is not exactly the deterrent you might suppose it to be... ;-)

Oh my, what a beautifully written chapter! I simply loved the words you used here, each and every sentence perfectly crafted to tug at the heartstrings. I would almost swear I could hear the sounds of the night in that final section along with Rogue - and when Wolverine appeared at the doorway behind her I held my breath, hardly daring to read on for fear she would reject him and yet needing to know the outcome. Not many stories affect me so deeply and I am impressed!
Yes, a truly beautifully written chapter and now I find myself counting the hours until the next one........ Please update soon!!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked the chapter, and that you found it moving. Your review moved me! :-D I'll try to update as soon as I can...hopefully by the end of this week at the latest. Next chapter has smut, which always takes me longer to write, but hopefully it'll be worth the wait. ;-)

Whoops – I’m slacking, I missed an update! Oh well 2 chappies to read so all the better for me :)
Loved the Prof having to admit his errors having seen the results, very nice dialogue between him and Logan, also loved the garden scene with Storm and again in the following chapter I like the use of Storm and her calmness to tell it how it is and along with Logan trying to force the issue the fact that Rogue did end up taking a look didn’t seem false or rushed. The scene on the wall was brilliantly done – the little steps taken; her edging over to offering her hand, (loved that he only had to say her name for the walls to tumble so to speak!) you pointed out that you thought this was a slow-ish chapter but if you hadn’t taken your time here I think you would have lost ‘the journey of emotion’ that she had to go through to get to the beginning of the end (if you know what I mean!)
Think the best line was the last one – ‘She went inside, and this time he did not follow’ so much meaning wrapped up in there.
Author's Response: Everyone deserves a twofer once in awhile. ;-) I'm so glad you're liking Xavier and Ororo. I felt like it was enough to have Logan in Marie's head nagging her, it was time to let some of the other mansion residents help her figure things out for awhile, while Logan lurks and stalks and tries awkwardly to help from a distance. ;-) I'm also glad that Marie's changing feelings about Logan are coming across as believable and not boring! "Journey of emotion," sounds so much deeper than my writing deserves!

Another great installment. And I'm with Alesia; I like that they've reached a detente. It feels more believable than all of a sudden to have smiley sunshines and happy birds, you know? My favorite part of this chapter:
He sighed, looking almost dejected. “I’m not your enemy, Marie.”
Her anger was gone too, leaving her feeling cold and empty inside. “Maybe not. But you’re not my friend either. Not like you pretended to be.” She turned toward the elevator, and this time he made no move to stop her. She stopped, but didn’t turn to look at him. “And the name is Rogue.”
Well done!
Author's Response: So glad you liked it! Yes, I'm trying to hit the happy middle between dragging it on too long and having them reconcile too suddenly to be believable. Hopefully this in-between step will help. I'm glad you liked that bit of the chapter. I've found that Marie in this fic is a little weepier than I usually like to write her, so I enjoy the parts when she's a little more badass.

The emotion in this chapter just jumps off the page and twists your heart. It is wonderful. I am very glad we have achieved detante if not quite reconciliation.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you felt that way! Yes, I felt it would be rushing it to have total reconciliation right away, but if it helps they "reconcile" like bunnies in the next chapter. ;-) Detente is a good word for where they are now, but Marie did touch him with her bare hand, and that means a hell of a lot to her. Notice in the previous chapters, even when she had control of her skin, she still had her gloves on. So far she's only touched him to hurt him, so this is a big step forward for her. :-D

OMG With every chapter I feel likeI've been on an emotional roller-coaster! More please!
Author's Response: Aw, that's a great compliment! Poor Marie really is being tugged in all directions in these last few chapters, but hopefully she's on the right track now. :-D

such great tension here, and a nice setup at he end...thans!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked it.

This is heartbreaking. They so deserve to be happy.
Author's Response: Aw. At least I promised a happy ending, right? I really wanted to make sure Marie didn't "come around" too easily...she really was grievously betrayed by what Logan did, even if he had good reason to do it. But, on the other hand, the story would go nowhere if she held a grudge forever. Something will happen next chapter that speeds the reconciliation along considerably. ;-)

I love watching Marie make this emotional journey. Your writing is as technically excellent as always; there's some truly elegant language here, but it never detracts from the forward momentum of the story. Two thumbs up. :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I always feel that my writing is so utilitarian compared to others on this site who write so lyrically and poetically (looking at you, Rose and Sahara and skybound!), it's nice to know I hit a lucky phrase now and then. ;-)
