Goddamn, this was a sweet chapter! Great little conversation over Logan's clumsy (yet sweet) attempt to protect her.

I gotta say, I like how Stray thinks:

“Can I share your bed?” she asked him.

Why that is an excellent question, my dear! ;)

I love how she then just layed it all on the line and was completely truthful about how she feels about him, despite how he has tried to discourage her in the past:

"But as much as I know my own mind, I understand that this is your decision, Logan. If you ever… want me, really want me, we can see what’s between us. But I’ve spent too much of my life having others decide for me to try to decide for you.”

And how can you not love Logan with this line:

“Then you go to sleep, my little Trouble-Begot, and I will watch you over you.”

Great way to end it too.

Author's Response: i have to say, i like the way that stray thinks too. as for laying it on the line, i guess this is supposed to be about someone taking charge of their own destiny (eventually) so not wanting to take away logan's choice is a big part of that. and yeah, pretty much don't see how you can't love logan after this chapter. thanks for the review, hope you enjoy the next. hobbits away, hey!

Definite ahhh factor! The big ol lug is still putting his foot in it but getting it better than right in the end. Seriously lovely convo. Great chapter blah blah loving it blah blah - am running out of ways to tell you how great this is! looking forward to more x

Author's Response: i do love to make logan put his foot in it, as anyone who has read "jitters," can attest. glad you enjoyed the conversation- though it is going to come back and bite logan on the behind next chapter- and thanks as always for the review. hobbits away, hey

Ah ha, the plot continues to thicken! Interesting triangle between Kitty, Piotr and Emma--I wonder how that will play out. I'm sure that Shaw's eventual appearance will also make it an interesting mix as well. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: i;m glad to hear that you're enjoying it. as you may have guessed Shaw has something truly diabolical in mind for Stray- if only there were someone watching out for her, someone menacing and growly and... oh dear... as for the whole Emma-Piotr-Kitty thing, well it will end well for Kitty, that's all i'm willing to say...

I’m Back.......did you miss me? (don’t answer that!!) forced by the bad technological gods into having weeks free from any kind of working internet and finally.......the only good thing is 2 chapters instead of one!

There’s some great Rogan moments throughout, ( even if you have to look closely for them) Love the use of ‘cariad’ also the use of ‘girl’ (which reminds me of ‘kid’)

Nice dramatic entrance at the end of Ms Frost – I forsee some trouble ahead!

Now I’ll give you 10 out 10 for effort in Jean sympathy (although I’m really thick skinned and all your effort is still wasted) but Kitty.......I’m definitely feeling it there, me thinks she needs to kick some white queen butt and ‘free’ Pete.

(Lord Sebastian of New Angelom – shaw mannor.....clever!!) Really looking for ward to the mayhem about to unravel when they travel south.

Author's Response: ah ha, you're back! and of course i missed you, m'dear, i LOVE you reviews. I'm glad you liked Emma's entrance: she's so damn *good* at them, it's all those marvel covers she's done. as you may have guessed kitty will be kicking some white queen butt, and i hope you find the new chapter illuminating on that score. and as for Lord Sebastian of Shaw Manor- i was hoping people caught that. he's a dastardly git alright, and he's got big plans for stray. who of course, has more than enough people watching her back and is able to take care of herself. what is a super-villain to do?rn

WOW! That was a great chapter! Poor Kitty...I never liked Emma Frost, so she and Gold are a perfect match. lol
Thanks for the update! I look forward to more!

Ps, there was a picture on dA that instantly made me think of this story. Ill try to send you the link, but I dont know if this site will allow it.

Author's Response: checked out the picture, and i did like it. i actually like emma as a character, but she's one of those who's so good at being bad that i love to let her at it. and i also think that her and gold would be thick as thieves, which puts our heroine in quite a jam. glad you're enjoying this and thanks for the review. hobbits away, hey!

I'm really enjoying this completely unique take on things. I like everything from the variated names to the twin version on Jean and the Phoenix. I like that Wolverine is a werewolf, as far as I can figure, and all the rest. Just so much fun to read.

Author's Response: Always lovely to hear from you hun, and you're right: Logan is a werewolf in this. I'm having fun going medieval on the x-men so i'm glad you're enjoying my efforts. and thanks for the review :-)

Great update! I loved the interaction between Logan and Stray here especially with Logan being so affectionate and protective after being a bit gruff(methinks the man doth protest too much ;D)in the previous chapter.

“She insulted one who’s my own, one who did her no harm.”

He shot Stray a sharp, feral grin. “I had more than enough pleasant company last night; I had no need of another’s.”

“If you left, girl,” he said quietly, “I would go with you."

"And then I will leave, Stray. With you. For you.”

And Logan calling her cariad? Well that's just the icing on the cake. (Swoon)

Nice twist with the appearance of Emma at the end too, which was unexpected. Can't wait to see how she factors into the mix.

Author's Response: hey hun, great to hear from you. glad you enjoyed the chapter, wanted to move Logan away from being quite so rough and growly as he was in the previous installment so it's nice to hear i succeeded. (you're right, methinks he doth protest too much, something which will be addressed in a couple of chapter's time). glad you like the appearance of Emma as well, she's going to be important and you know Emma: she likes to make an entrance. thanks for the review and hobbits away, hey!

So I had great fun with the vocabulary you chose for this chapter. I had to look up both cariad and termagant. I think cariad is my new favorite term of affection. I really enjoyed the tempo of this chapter. Logan and Stray's relationship progresses before our eyes and Logan does it out of instinct. I love playing "spot the X-men". I am assuming Gold is Phoenix being Red's twin and all. The entrance of Emma completely turns the story on its ear. I am looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: i had great fun with the insults and swear-words in this chapter, so i'm glad my efforts were appreciated. (i like "termagant but i have to say, my personal favorite was "plague-bitch." love the word "cariad," as well BTW so i'm happy to have introduced you to it.)thanks for the review: i'm used to writing a more worldly, tough chick Marie so i keep having to remind myself that Stray is quite young and innocent in this, and it's good to hear that her relationship with Logan is progressing well in spite of that. cheers, hobbits away, hey!

Have I told you lately how much I love this story and crave it? So much so that I get pissed when I get an email and find out it's not an update notice for your story. Can you hear me across the pond cursing these unwanted emails? Please put me out of my misery and post another chapter ASAP! Please!

I should have known, nothing in the world of Rogan ever goes to plan, no story is ever complete without its twists and turns but boy do you have to be so bloody good at getting us going and lulling us with a false sense of security before you damn it all to hell? I loved this chapter (ok so I loved them all but that’s beside the point) the first half? Well one particular para (and you know damn well which one) wow! In fact I’ll say it again…...Wow just beautifully done x the second half? Well, hate that I loved it but that’s talent for you and again beautifully done.


Fav – is something we read over and over in the Rogan world yet you make it so different. There’s more emotion and power and you end up with far more effect.
“I am Cursed, Stray-”
“-As am I,” she whispered.
Hazel eyes met hers. “But not enough to deserve a monster like me.”


Sorry if I’m late with my review but accident involving eyes has meant no reading! Took me a long time but I got through this even if blurred and it was well worth it! Took me even longer to type review but am relying on not having to look at keyboard therefore please excuse mistakes!! x

Oh, you dangled me off a precipice there. I was getting so caught up in the story, the surrealism of it, I forgot for a while that it was Logan. Boneheaded, doesn't know what's good for him, NOBLE bloody Logan. Sigh. (Still loving this!)

Bastardy is right:

His voice was harsh. “So you just crawled into a cave with a savage beast of your own volition?”

And there is this:

“You think me an interesting pet fer a rich man’s daughter, you think me a wonder or a marvel perhaps.” He pushed his hips aggressively into hers, the movement feeling like a taunt, an insult. His grip on her was starting to hurt. “I don’t want a woman who’s only taking me because my fur allows her touch,” he hissed. “I don’t want a woman who looks on her own injury as if it were a game. I don’t want a child dressed up in her mother’s clothing, now matter how much she throws herself at me-”

But he still is so heartbreaking in response to her declaring being cursed as well:

Hazel eyes met hers. “But not enough to deserve a monster like me.”

Can you just stop functioning in your real life and just focus on writing? Really. Because that is what you have been created to do. Simple as that. I will feed you, house you as long as you continuously write. K? :)

I feel for Logan and Stray so much in this fic. Their confusion and struggles really leap off the screen and into my head. I always love seeing this on the most recent page.

RL?! I hate it when RL interferes with the Rogan-verse! Repeat after me, "I will devote myself to writing Rogan fanfiction and forsake all others, especially RL!" Good, I'm glad that's settled.:-P

Another excellent chapter! I really loved the explanation of the Moonlight Key and the Sunlight Lock, very romantic and totally in keeping with the fairy tale vibe.

And as with all your stories, I love how you are able to weave in other characters from the Marvel Universe. Great back story with T'Challa and Ro!

And here's some more great writing that I need to point out because it totally blew me away:

"So slowly, gingerly, she wrapped her arms around him, the feel of his fur comforting against her cheek as she burrowed in. The sound of his heart a tattooed lullaby beating beneath his chest. The warmth of him making her shiver in an entirely different way. Taking a deep breath she let her eyes droop closed, feeling unaccountably safe between the tender paws of her loving wolf-"

Damn! Just, yeah...wow!

So the Moonlight Key and the Sunlight Lock have been revealed. Now we just need to find out what's going on with the threat from Mistress Gold The Stalker. Well, two out of three ain't bad. ;)

"You took the words right out of my mouth, lol" Ha! Right back at ya! :-P

Well, the last two times I posted a response for this story, the WRFA gremlins deleted them. I'm glad you were able to read them before that happened. Hopefully, this one won't get deleted too.

I absolutely loved this chapter. There were many lines that stood out, some of which Serafim already mentioned. I also liked this one: "The wolf stared up at her with those beautiful, lupine hazel eyes and put his head in her lap, resting there as her fingers caressed him." Aww, that is so sweet! I could totally see that in my mind's eye.

And this is going to sound weird, but I liked how you portrayed the animalistic, primal way that Logan showed affection and worry when he licked Stray to make sure she was alright. For some reason, I could totally picture him frantically saying in his human form, "Are you okay, darlin'? Speak to me!" Does that make any sense? The whole scene of Stray attacking Ro to Logan launching himself at Kurt, making sure Stray was okay and then Ro pulling out the arrow was really well done.

And even though it's already been mentioned, I need to point this line out again too:

“There, there,” she murmured, “Poor beast, sweet beast. Don’t be angry my darling, don’t be sad, I’ll not leave you alone in the snow…”

Just awesome!
