“Hush.” His voice was a low rumble against her ear. “I’m about to start talkin’ about my feelings and shit and it don’t happen often, so get comfortable.”
ROFL! That's the best ever. And you go, Marie! Kicking Shaw's ass. :)
Author's Response: Ha, I liked that line too. It popped into my head early on in the story, and I couldn't wait to get to the point where i could use it!

The trouble with reading a whole bunch of chapters at once is that pesky next button. And you with the suspense, of course. (I feel I can pause before the smut ... anticipation, you know ;) You balanced the suspenseful elements of this perfectly with Marie's emotional battle to rediscover herself and her own strength; unputdownable. Wonderful work!

You're right, it has been slow the past month. Dunno about everyone else, but it's the start-of-semester craziness for me. Must be a lot of teachers/students on this site, heh.
Aha! A pill bottle. I was wondering what kind of container she might put Shaw in. That makes perfect sense. Her interaction with him was good. She's definitely not someone to be trifled with. Go Rogue ;P. But my favorite scene has to be her waking up, the needle poised at the ready. GAH! I could just feel the tension in that moment.
Logan’s gaze sharpened on hers, suddenly intent. “Yeah, Scott.” He paused for a moment, still studying her. “Her husband,” he added.
Okay I lied. ^^^^ That is my favorite moment. Grinning from ear to ear now. Silly Marie. Glad Logan cleared that up for her!
AHH okay I lied again. The last line is, like, my favorite line ever of all time. Guh. Awesome chapter. Best chapter so far. Yay.
Author's Response: Hey there! Hope your semester has calmed down a little. I'm glad the tension of the "Is-it-Shaw-or-is-it-Rogue?" moment worked. Yeah, isn't it nice how in a few words Logan can clear up all this Jean nonsense? I'm glad you liked that last line too. Thanks again for the review!

Not that I wouldn't have LOVED to have seen the exact moment, known the exact words Marie used to outsmart Shaw, getting him to give up Jean's whereabouts and then stuffing him in that bottle, but I am glad you didn't drag it out overmuch. It was more than enough, really, to have her tell him 'Before today you haven't even met me...' and than later to introduce herself sans gloves...Delicious. And Logan's last line is going down as one of my all time favorite Logan lines...OUTSTANDING! --Wendie
Author's Response: Yeah, honestly it became so Inception-y to try to figure out how Inner!Marie would actually contain Inner!Shaw that the more detail I added the less convincing it got. In the end, it's almost like she uses her mutation on him, but since they're both basically avatars in her head, what does that really mean? I choose to believe she just kind of contained him through sheer force of will. And I'm glad you liked Logan's last line -- I love "sensitive" Logan too!

I'll review yours, if you review mine. :)
I like how you sent Logan into a total panic mode when she put herself into a comatose state. And I loved how he went after her and she was under the false impression that he wanted Jean for himself. I can hardly wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! Yeah, Logan panicking is such a rare thing that I think it really communicates the depth of his feelings in a way that he would never otherwise acknowledge.

I love this story so much, it's nice to see an update in my inbox first thing in the morning. I really don't want it to end, but I must know what happen nexts. Can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: Aw, so sweet to hear! Yeah, I think we are headed toward the end, but I'm not entirely sure how many chapters are left, especially since the smut always goes on longer than I think it will. ;-) Thanks so much for reviewing!

I'm glad you cut out the Jean rescue stuff. Between me and you i would have barely skim read it looking for Rogan-ness. Feelings and shit?! my kinda man. xXx
Author's Response: Yeah, my attention wanders too when there's no Rogan involved. ;-) And definitely, Logan talking all sensitive (while still manhandling Marie nonetheless) is a sight to behold. Hope you like how it plays out in the updated chapter!

CHAPTER TOO SHORT, WOE. ;)
Seriously, I like it. I love the line "it's long past time you met the real me..." Reminds me of a line from the Firefly episode "War Stories." (That's a good thing.)
Author's Response: Ha, I am a major Browncoat too, so comparisons to Firefly are definitely a compliment! Hopefully Marie is no Niska, but I do use that concept quite a lot -- that a lot of people see Marie as a sweet, vulnerable young woman and don't really realize just how strong she has had to be to deal with all the burdens she's been given. And of course for someone to be a worthy partner for the Wolverine, they would need to have a pretty steely core. Thanks so much for reviewing, hope the quick up date with the next chapter alleviated some of your woe. ;-)

I can totally see why you broke this chapter and the last one up into 2. There wasn't a good way to do it otherwise, let alone added what is coming up next to it. The way Logan figures out what is wrong with Marie is adorable. He just has to look at her to know what Jubes accidently did.
I love me some kick ass Rogue so I think that she put Shaw, probably the most powerful mutant she has absorbed, in the smallest container. So tell me did Marie choose to put Shaw in a pill bottle because he drugged her or because Shaw needed some crazy pills?
Author's Response: Yeah, I think Marie's excessive interest in Jean finally clicked for him. In my mind, Marie picked a container that she associated in some way with the absorbed personality, and since Sebastian was using the drugs to control her she associated the pill bottle with him. Thanks so much for reviewing -- I'm glad you're still liking the story!

NICE! I love when Marie gets tough! Great chapter! love that She put Shaw in his place. And a big AWWWW at Logan! I can't wait for more!!!
Author's Response: Yes, *finally* Marie is getting to show her stuff! And, yeah, if Logan would only show Marie some of that stuff he's thinking all would be well! Hopefully they'll resolve it nicely in the next chapter. :-D

Ack! You are truly EVIL in every sense of the word for ending the chapter there. ;)
Once again, I'm digging your Marie, who is kind and strong--able to see through Shaw's hurtful words and doing what's right for people who care about her. And how sweet is she for feeling heartsick for Logan when she thought he was in love with a married woman. Yep, I think Logan has found himself the perfect girl.
And this part made me laugh, smile and then...call for your head! :-D
“I’m comin’ in.” His voice was matter-of-fact as he practically pushed her backwards into the room, his warm body crowding her back toward the bed. He sat heavily on the edge of her bed, pulling his boots off.
“C’mere.” A strong arm around her waist, and he pulled her down to lie next to him on the bed.
“Logan...” she started, trying to sit up, but his hand came up, nestling her head against his shoulder.
“Hush.” His voice was a low rumble against her ear. “I’m about to start talkin’ about my feelings and shit and it don’t happen often, so get comfortable.”
I can't wait! No really, I can't. ;)
P.S. Well, I don't think it's been slow here. But there's another ff site (shh, yes, I know, there is only Rogan and we will never speak of this again!) that I visit and that one is the true definition of slow--at least the ff side of things because the forum is alive and well, thankfully. New stories are few and far between while the updates are even less so. And reviews? Well, most stories are lucky to have a number higher than zero. I kid you not. It's a great site with some great writing but I feel like I can hear crickets chirping when I'm on that site. Sigh.
Author's Response: Ha, sorry for the stopping point. These chapters just end up being so much longer than I had planned, so I'm cutting quite a few of them off in the middle to be able to update sooner! I hope you like the latest update, and I'm so glad to see you characterize Marie as being strong. I've felt that Marie was so screwed up for so much of this fic that the result is probably the weakest Marie I've written so far, and the way Logan is manhandling her in this chapter doesn't really help. And I promise not to give you a hard time about "cheating" on us with another pairing...but I'm so curious to know which one it is! Email me if you're willing. Great writing is always something I can get behind.

Loved the last line! Awesome chappy.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! There's just something about the way Logan does "sensitive" that's really fun. :-D
