So, Gainsborough because of The Blue Boy?
Logan, Logan, Logan. Stop getting in the way of the Roganliciousness!
Favorite line:
She would rather have him yell at her than another’s words drifting like feathers against her ear.
Author's Response: yup, gainsborough because of the blue boy (though i didn't make it up; it's listed as one of nightcrawler's aliases on the marvel website. apparently in the bizarre adventures sehv the oracle calls kurt this every time they meet. it just sounded right, you know? besides, kurt is supposed to be an adventurer in this and it sounds like an adventurer's name... i think... ahem, thanks for the review.

So many great lines in this -- Ororo just rocks:
“Though be sure to make Logan work for that admission; he’s far too used to grinning and getting what he wants from a lass.”
"I meant that he would skulk around telling you the whole truth."
I feel dense, but am I supposed to know who T’Challa is/was?
Author's Response: t'challa is the real name of the black panther, storm's husband in the comics and all-around master of kick-ass. sorry, assumed everyone would know (which just shows i spend too much time reading about the marvel universe...) glad you liked ororo, she's a lot cooler in the comics than she wa sin the movie.

Aw, the heartache! Stupid Logan. Favorite line:
She took in a tight, shuddering little breath, trying hard not to let the tears show. Logan stilling at the sound of it, his form rigid though he kept his back to her.
Author's Response: god bless him, he's not the sharpest sometimes... but we loves him anyway...

Oh, you tease! What a great scene, but how rudely interrupted. ;-)
But, was the light Ororo the whole time? Seems a little voyeuristic of her.
Anyway, favorite line from this one:
Bones crackled underfoot as they walked, the air turning sticky and stifling as they ventured deeper.
Author's Response: you know, ororo being the light hadn't occured to me... she wasn't though, she just knows how to use some of the cave's magics. so she's not a voyeur... i really enjoyed writing this chapter (though i did think it would squick people a little bit) so getting so much positive feedback about it is really nice... cheers!

LOL, I didn't mean reviews I "owed" you in exchange for the ones you left me...I'm just reading on my phone a lot lately, and when I have the laptop I end up writing on my story instead, so I try to keep a mental list of all the chapters I've read and haven't reviewed so I can "pay back" when I get a chance. Like now. :-D So hard to pick a favorite line from this one, I narrowed it down to a few:
A couple of steps back the way she’d come bringing her to a trail of blood and wolf prints which slithered through the snow.
Tracing his claws- so sharp- his shaggy coat luxurious beneath her fingers. The warmth of his belly, his chest calling to her. The shape of him like a puzzle she had to solve in the dark.
Author's Response: hey, thanks for the review and glad you're enjoying this. i gotta say, the bit in the woods was lots of fun to write (snow, wolf, maiden, UST, what's not to love about that set-up?) am blushing from your review, thanks and so glad you enjoyed it. hobbits away, hey!
Date: 10/20/2011 6:03:31 PM Title: Dove's Heart
AHH! Dammit! It was so nice and peaceful in that tub. Why cant these two catch a break, eh? damn you Gold, damn you Shaw. And dammit woman, cliffhangers are eeeevil. lol Great update!!
Author's Response: i know cliff-hangers are evil... but i appear to be addicted to them (i wonder if there's a support group out there for people like me...) anyway, thanks for the review, glad you're enjoying this... hobbits away, hey!
Date: 10/20/2011 1:08:20 AM Title: Dove's Heart
Not a minute's peace for these two huh? You couldn't give them an afternoon or an hour or...well I am kidding I hope you know. I love the way you have of making Logan soft yet stern, knowledgable yet fearful, faithful yet awary.
I just have to say Gold better get hers. I am pretty sure you will let Kitty take care of Emmilaine. I have a feeling our little Mistress Kit has a plan to get her man back especailly if she just HAPPENED to be carry something like Dove's Heart for helping people oppressed by magic.
Author's Response: first of all, glad you like this version of logan. i was just saying to oracle13 that he's probably my favourite so far of all the versions i've written and if he's as cool as your description makes him sound then i'm very proud of myself. (*grins*) secondly, *of course* emmalaine, gold and shaw are all going to get theirs- and kitty is there to go buffy on their collective arses. but there's more going on than meets the eye, so stay tuned (most of your observations are spot on, that's all i'm saying). thanks as ever for the review, hobbits away, hey!rnoh, and there will be some peace for these two eventually. you just have to go through the trouble before you get to the smexy part :-P
Date: 10/19/2011 11:10:24 PM Title: The Moonlight Key
Oh, duh, Mistress Gold is Phoenix. No idea how I missed that before.
Favorite line:
The air about her beginning to tremble with something Stray didn’t have a name for. Something old and whispering-familiar and mean.
Author's Response: glad you're enjoying it. want to get back to the spookiness in the next chapter after the one just posted, so it was nice to be reminded of what gold's actually *like*...
[Report This]Date: 10/19/2011 11:01:17 PM Title: And Around His Heart A Strangling Golden Hair
Favorite line: She was back in the wildwood again, she realised disjointedly, the trees spider-boned with winter, the snow falling over her hair like damp, wet kisses against her skin.
The plot thickens! I recognize all the characters, I think, but is Mistress Gold an OC?
Author's Response: i was surprised so many people thought mistress gold was an OC. i've read your next review so clearly you've guessed she's not. i just wanted Good!Jean and Bad!Jean in the same fic and splitting them into two people seemed to best way to do it. hope you're enjoying it even with both sides of jean there...
[Report This]Date: 10/19/2011 10:53:11 PM Title: Silk
My favorite line from this one:
Its loping gait somehow mournful, or maybe just embarrassed.
Author's Response: thanks for the review love
[Report This]Date: 10/19/2011 10:43:01 PM Title: The Company of Miracles
Favorite line from this one:
The weight of her skin dragging like a swell-tide against her strength.
Author's Response: tell you a secret? that's one of my favourite lines too... hope that doesn't make me sound too egotistical... cheers for the review
[Report This]Date: 10/19/2011 10:32:22 PM Title: The Spring Maid's Green
I've been meaning to ask since you first posted...did you make this up (Little girl, little girl, soft and sweet little girl. Wear the Spring Maid’s green and a wolf will come for you…) or adapt it from something? The "little girl, little girl, soft and sweet..." seems so familiar. The whole thing just pops into my head sometimes!
Anyway, here's my favorite line from this one:
A big pink tongue flicking out to taste the air around Stray, to lick her scent and make it her own.
Author's Response: i *think* i made up that nursery rhyme. i certainly haven't found out where it comes from if i didn't. i think though that it must be the beat which sounds familiar; i spent a lot of time looking at folksongs about were-wolves recently (don't ask) and i didn't find any trace of it. Pops into my head at the weirdest times too. so in (long-winded answer to your question) yes, i think this little ditty's mine... glad you're enjoying it :-)
[Report This]Date: 10/19/2011 10:25:27 PM Title: Prologue: Skin
Time to "pay back" all the reviews I owe you! I had forgotten this prologue, rereading it gives me shivers. I love how you set the tone of the story with the language here. So many great lines, but of course I love these:
This is the story of how I took my wolf for my own.
Me with my wolf shivering under my hands.
This is what happened when I finally decided to shed my skin.
Author's Response: you don't owe me payback, i'd have read "the rogue," anyway. although i did really enjoy getting so many lovely reviews all at once... the prologue took a long time to get right because the tone of this is- well, i went for weird but romantic, which i hope it is- so i'm glad to hear that all my hard work paid off.
Date: 10/19/2011 1:16:47 AM Title: Ars Amatoria
You did a great job with this chapter without being gratuitous.
This line made me made me say, "aww" for so many reasons - poor Stray being put through the ringer and yet how sweet is Logan?!
"The man Stray knew to be the real Logan held his arms out to her and she curled up in his lap and wept."
Damn, I love this story!
Author's Response: thanks for that, i was a bit worried. i have issues with using sexual assault merely as a plot device (but not murder or arson. i sometimes wonder why that is.)It seemed to fit in this story, if for no other reason than the shaw in the comics is a big, prurient ole perv. glad you're enjoying it, and yes, i think the logan in this story's sweet. in fact he'd probably my favourite version of wolvie so far... oh, for a weirdly enchanted, steam-punk elizabethan manor house of my own... cheers for the review!
Date: 10/19/2011 1:05:21 AM Title: Into the Echoing Green
“She could do better, my dear,” Shaw was telling Emmalaine, “Much, much better. But Spring Maids and their wolves won’t be parted, every old maid knows that.”
Emmalaine’s smile was pure venom. “That, my love, remains to be seen.”
Yeah, having those two talk about Stray like that is DEFINITELY not good.
Now I'm off to read "Little Boy Lost" and get caught up on Firefly (thank you Hulu.com!). I'm a sucker for imaginary bananas...
Author's Response: i *think* it's "little boy lost," but it could be "little girl lost," either- blake, not so much with the big, showy poem titles. get back to me with the firefly reference and you will have all the imaginary bananas i can muster. and i agree, being the target of the gruesome twosome's dating advice NEVER bodes well... thanks for the review!
Date: 10/17/2011 9:57:04 PM Title: Prologue: Skin
YES!!! lol, always

I almost missed the Firefly ref. Love that show. I want to have its babies. Also? This story kicks ass. So thank you for that.
~Mia
Author's Response: i too want to have "firefly," babies. glad you're enjoying the story ;-)
Date: 10/16/2011 5:00:49 PM Title: Ars Amatoria
WOW! :0 Damn, Stray....I have a feeling shes out of the pot and into the fire now.
Author's Response: and aren't you looking forward to finding what happens next? thanks for the review...
Date: 10/15/2011 3:39:30 AM Title: Ars Amatoria
well somebody had some help from Emma or Gold but somehow I don't think it was Shaw. Humm I wonder who that was and I wonder where Logan and Strya are going to sleep tomoorow night cause I bet it won't be seperate.
Author's Response: you bet your darndest they won't... and you're right, there's more to this than just shaw being a dick... the thick plottens!

Nice chapter. Love the descriptions. And I have a feeling there will be something happening with scarves soon enough.
Author's Response: you're not wrong about the scarves... glad you're enjoying the descriptions.

I spot "truthsome" and "very fine," for starters, to say nothing of House Madrassa. :)
(Oops, hit Submit too soon.)
I'm enjoying this. You seem to be having a lot of fun with it, and it shows. Very cool reimagining.
Author's Response: you actually spotted two i hadn't realised i put in there so kudos (and imaginary bananas) to you. you're right, i am enjoying myself so i'm glad it comes across, and i'm happy that you're enjoying it. thanks for the review.
Date: 10/12/2011 1:12:20 AM Title: Into the Echoing Green
OOOOHHHH the plot thickens. I would bet Logan didn't take into account that Shaw might have an interest in Stray. I have to say I giggle about the word chatelaine. It my non-profit group it is the position that welcomes newcomers, see why it makes me giggle??? :)
Still loving it.
Author's Response: yeah, i see why it makes you giggle ;-P my best friend's a medieval history graduate and she told me that in norman areas a chatelaine was what the lord of the manor called his mistress: she was usually the woman he really loved but he had to marry his wife for dynastic reasons. and i agree, i don't think it computes in logan's brain that someone might try to become his rival. i mean, what kind of masochistic, suicidal guy would do that? (coughs, *Sebastian Shaw*) thanks for the review, glad you're still loving it. hope you like the next. H

Ugh, I just want to smack those two. To be honest, I want to do more then smack. Congrats for making your characters piss me off. LOL.
Love it! And, uh, I wouldn't mind a little PDA from Logan. Heh... ;)
Author's Response: if you wanna smack them imagine what logan wants to do... glad i made the terrible twosome suitably annoying, lol. and thanks for the review. Oh, and there's some major PDA on its way... whistles innocently.... just so you know...
Date: 10/11/2011 1:51:56 PM Title: The Begot-Of-Trouble and the Trouble-Begot
Hooray everybody! I also didn't actually realize that Rogue was still a virgin after that night. I really need to stop devouring your chapters and try to pay a little more attention. I have a problem though, each time Stray updates I feel like a puppy who has heard the kibble bag. I don't don't can't don't want to wait a second longer. Thank you for the awesome dose of awesome.
~Mia
Author's Response: hey mia, glad you're enjoying this. you gotta love a little girl on wolf action, lol. there's more smut on the way soon so don't despair, stray won't be in her pickle for much longer... again, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the review.
