My heart was racing right along with Logan's...and Rogue's for that matter. And then, as Logan soothed Rogue, his words -- your very well-chosen words -- calmed me, too. This story is such a joy to get caught up in. My dad used to say that when I watched certain TV shows I just shut out everything around me. "You get in there and live with them," he used to say. This story has that same effect. Marvelous. --Wendie
Author's Response: Aw, this must be one of the sweetest reviews I have ever read. Thank you so much for sharing that story of your father -- I know exactly what you mean. My mom would say I would "turn my ears off" when I was really into a book -- I read right through recess one day at school! I'm so honored to know that my story elicited that kind of engrossment. Thank you SO much for your review!

Yes! He kissed her! and didn't apologize for it! Awesome! Glad she zapped the perv too. Really don't like him. lol More please!
Author's Response: :-D Yeah, I'm glad he didn't apologize either. And Azazel is definitely a sleaze! Thanks so much for reviewing!

Sssooooooo gooooooooooddddd. I loved the interactions between the two of them, especially when Logan was comforting her while she was bopping around the barn. "Stay with me" ::swoon:: he wouldn't have to tell me twice.
Author's Response: Aw, I'm so glad you liked it. This is one of the scenes I had in mind originally that I've been writing towards, so I'm glad to know that you liked it. And I agree, I don't think Logan would have to tell me even once! ;-)

YAY! More of this story! hehe...happy day.
I can't wait until they figure it out (admittedly because I, too, want to know what's happening- though I suspect it's Frost making the voices come on...). Looking forward to more!!
Author's Response: Yay! More reviews! Thanks so much for being such a great reviewer! You'll get more, and even more soon!

Another outstanding installment. I love that these two have been as honest with each other as they can be, that they are coming together to fight a common enemy instead of battling their feelings for each other. That having been said, I also love the restraint, the caution they are both taking with one another where their feelings are concerned. As a writer, that must be quite the tightrope to walk and you are doing a masterful job. --Wendie
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I'm glad you like the restraint and caution, I felt it might be actually a little unbelievable that they might be sharing as much as they are, but I had to move it along somehow! I'm so glad you feel that I'm achieving that balance. :-D

Oooohhhh I just want to hug her right now. You captured her confusion very well in this chapter. And I'm with atmd on the cause of the voices. I want to string Emma up by her ears.
Author's Response: Aw, I'm glad you felt for Rogue. It seemed like a lot of explaining for her to do! I have an idea what might happen to Emma, and it might be pretty gruesome. ;-)

Grr. I'm so pegging Emma for the sudden onslaught of voices when Rogue tries to leave (I know, brilliant deductive reasoning, right?).
Aw. Her uncertainty about her own sanity, and her fear that she's just being paranoid when there really is some crazy conspiracy going on . . . so sad. But hopeful, too, now that Logan's there to help her get to the bottom of all this.
Great update. I can't wait to learn what Frost and Shaw are planning, and how Rogue's power fits into all of it.
Author's Response: She might have something to do with it. ;-) Yeah, I think it was hard to capture how scary it must be to have no compass as to whether you are sane or not, and only the word of someone you distrust to try to guide you. I am glad as well that she and Logan found each other. :-)

The plot thickens...
I look forward to seeing where this is going!!
Author's Response: :-) Yeah, this one is especially plot-y! I'm having trouble fitting it all in!
Date: 08/11/2011 2:45:16 AM Title: The Meeting
I don't think that things are going too slow or too fast, the pace feels just right. Things are building and developing quite nicely both in the plot and between Logan and Marie. I love the interaction between them--they are both guarded and wary with being in a dangerous situation but they can't help being drawn to each other and making themselves vulnerable and reaching out. And Marie doesn't seem weak to me, just someone who's been alone and forced to deal with evil, sadistic people for too long. She just needs some support from a certain sexy mutant to regain her footing and realize that she can trust herself and others again.
And wow, saying that Emma and Shaw are evil just doesn't cut it. "I want you to hurt her. And I want to watch.” Well, honey, what goes around comes around and I can't wait for her and Shaw to get theirs, courtesy of Logan and Marie.
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your reassuring comments about the pace. And that their connection doesn't seem forced, and Marie too weak. Boy, I'm really insecure about this fic, aren't I? I promise I'm not fishing for compliments. ;-) Yeah, both Emma and Shaw creep the bejeezus out of me, so I think they will be pretty epically evil in this fic!
Date: 08/11/2011 1:00:47 AM Title: The Meeting
It's kind of nice to have a story where I feel bad for Jean instead of hating her for being a bitch. I can now transfer my Jean hate over to Emma. I have a feeling it will become an epic thing by the end of this.
This is excellent. I love that they are working together but neither can actually figure out why they are. Also, I'm curious as to who started that little tickle in Marie's head. I think I might know who it is but you, my dear, have a tendency to throw lovely curve balls at us constantly so I am always caught guessing. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Yeah. Although I love some of the Evil!Jeans in other fics, in my fics she's usually pretty peripheral and benign. And I definitely hate Emma in an epic way, so hopefully that will translate. The next chapter will have more answers and will be posted soon, I promise!

'Diabolical' is a vast understatement, but it seems to reach farther than 'evil' in describing your Shaw and Emma. Bwwaaahaaahaahaa!
And I love Logan...so unsure of himself with a creature as fragile as Rogue...but you said she'll get stronger...I'll wager one reason for that will be Logan, perhaps not so much because he gives her strength, but because at some point he will need her to be strong for him. I wait with bated breath... --Wendie
Author's Response: Yeah, Shaw and Emma are quite the twisted pair. I'm glad you're liking this Logan. I always feel a little unsure when I have Logan being a little uncharacteristically smiley or nurturing, but I think you're right, the fragility of Rogue brings it out of him. And yes, my Rogues usually show their strength in defense of Logan, so hopefully she'll go beyond damsel-in-distress status soon. :-)

I think it's normal to feel rushed, particularly in the beginning when you're introducing & developing the characters, but in my opinion the pacing on this is excellent. There has not been a single scene so far that has seemed to drag or tax my patience as a reader (and that's something of a rareity for me).
Have to agree with Sera that the connection is so there already, and there's something incredibly intriguing about the tension, the way they're dancing around each other. And as for the last scene, really well done as well. Felt very in-character. Ugh, Emma, that bitch. I just have this visceral hatred towards her character, the likes of which I haven't felt since Cruella DeVille ;). She and Shaw are a perfect match--can't wait to see them get taken the fuck down, preferably Wolverine-style ;).
Great update! Mas, rapidamente, por favor :D :D :D
Author's Response: Thanks so much...that's very reassuring. Usually I start with an idea of certain "character moments", and this is the first story where the plot idea was kind of formed in advance. So I feel a lot of pressure to get the plot out there, but you're right, it's not going to matter if the characters haven't connected. Yeah, Emma is a stone-cold bitch in this, and my dislike of January Jones in First Class gives me great joy in making her a truly awful individual. More soon, I promise!

There is just something about Marie's and Logan's connection in this story - two souls reaching out to the other in spite of themselves. The need is there, but so is the vulnerability. Neither wants to get hurt, yet they both react badly when they hurt each other.
I think this story is moving along just the way it should - not too fast, not too slow. You are an extra-ordinary writer, I love the interaction between your Logan and Marie so please, by all means, don't hold back, lol!
And as for Shaw and Emma? Bloody WHORES. Vessel? VESSEL? Grrr...
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you're liking the Marie and Logan connection. And that you're liking the pace, it's very reassuring! Yeah, Shaw and Emma are really...not nice. It was pretty squicky writing sex between them, honestly.

Love, love, love this. More please :)
Author's Response: Yay! You're still around! Hopefully that means there's more of "The Waiting" forthcoming? Pretty please? ;-) Thanks for the review!

very, very interesting. more please!

Mysterious and sexy. Two things that are guaranteed in your stories!
What hold does Shaw have over Marie? What was she hoping to find? Why didn't Logan throw her onto the desk and tear her clothes off and...
Whoops. Sorry. In time, in time, I know...;)
What a build up. You are so, so good doc. With a facial quirk here, a held breath there, you convey what your characters are feeling so vividly. You spoil us with your quick updates, true, but you spoil us more with your stories. I don't know how you do it, your plot blunnies must be on steroids, lol!
Author's Response: So glad that you're finding it mysterious and sexy...what a compliment! Yes, I promise, there will be clothes-tearing in the future, I'm sure. ;-) As for the plot bunnies, they swear those are just vitamins they're injecting, but now I wonder... ;-)

Crap, sorry hun I did not see your response to my first review.
Usually horses are only kept stallions in the event that they are being shown or are of breeding quality. So its more likely to be a mare or gelding...in a responsible situation at least lol.
Author's Response: Thanks for the correction! I did have the thought that Shaw might be a little too tied to his ideas of masculinity to have his stallions gelded, but I think you're right. I want him to be pretty even-tempered. Thanks so much for your advice!

The interaction between Rogue and Shaw was just haunting. Perfectly tense and creepy. Such a realistic dynamic there, and I love how this mystery is just unfolding like a flower--no exposition, no fantastical leaps, just layers being slowly peeled away. Can't wait to see what it eventually reveals.
The idea of Logan's lockpicking prowess was totally cool, and definitely believable. One of those 'Huh, wish I'd thoughta that' ideas :P.
That moment in Shaw's office, when he bursts in on Rogue also snooping around--Ha! I could just picture it, made me laugh out loud.
Thanks for the speedy update. Don't try to rush genius or anything, but I do look forward eagerly to the next update. Especially curious about Azazel's role in all of this *eyebrow raise*
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the interaction between Rogue and Shaw. I was worried that it was getting a little soap-opera-esque...he's just so *evil*. I'm glad you found it falling on the more realistic emotionally-abusive-dirtbag side, which is what I was going for. I'm especially glad to hear you like the pace of things...I was so tempted to just spill the whole plot in the first chapter it's good to know I'm letting details out in a way that seems natural. And yes, there will definitely be more Azazel coming up!

Interesting, I wonder what Marie was looking for. And just how strong is Sebastian's hold on her? And what does he want with Logan?
Secret meetings between Logan and Marie? Can't wait!
Author's Response: Good questions! Hopefully you'll find out the answers soon. And the secret meetings are next, so you won't have to wait long at all for those. ;-)
Date: 08/04/2011 8:54:30 PM Title: The Agreement
Ohhh... So good to see this. I love how you can see the fear that Rogue was feeling when Shaw was in her space. And I hate him. I don't even know what he's really done yet and I still hate him. I hope Logan eats him for breakfast.
Author's Response: Yeah, Sebastian Shaw is pretty creepy, isn't he? Hopefully he will get his just desserts. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

I'm not looking foward to finding out what these 'treatments' are. Does not sound promising. :(
Author's Response: Yeah, you know Sebastian is up to no good, don't you? I have to say, I saw "Crazy Stupid Love" last night not knowing that Kevin Bacon was in it. I shivered every time he showed up on screen! He lives in my city part time, if I ever run into him in person I think I'm going to run screaming the other way. ;-)

Ah, now they are partners in crime, or soon will be unless I miss my guess. Lovely, just lovely. --Wendie
Author's Response: That's the hope, although I will admit I'm a little stymied as to how to proceed, since neither of them has good reason to be forthcoming with the other. I guess we'll see! :-) So glad you liked it. Thanks so much for reviewing!

You have no idea how giddy I got when I saw this update, and you did not disappoint!
I loved it, and I feel horrible about nitpicking the horse thing lol.
Author's Response: Argh, don't feel guilty about nitpicking, I've been waiting anxiously for your answer so I can correct it! Seriously, should it be mare or gelding? *Please* let me know! Thanks for the review. So glad I made you giddy. ;-)

Shaw’s pale eyes gleamed in the dim light. “Wolverine. I see you’ve met my wife.”
And there you have it. It's mind benders like this that just blow me away when it comes to your stories. Nice way of introducing the two, Marie's reaction to Logan was very realistic and so was his. Great descriptions as usual (stable between the vales, the horse searching for a treat in Logan's hands) but I think my favourite part was the arrival of Shaw. The interaction between Logan and him was just snapping with tension, sardonic eyebrow et al.
He knew a minefield when he saw one.
With you holding the reins (pun intended), we're in for quite a ride. :)
Author's Response: :-D Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the description, and thought their reactions were realistic. This fic is seeming a little soap-opera to me so far, but what the hell, it's fun. ;-) LOL at "holding the reins," and *thank you* for not spelling it "reigns"!

“We playin’ hide ‘n seek?”
Yep, I have a feeling they are. And I didn't see that plot twist coming at all. Can't wait to see why she's married to him and how she and Logan interact. Great chapter.
Author's Response: :-D More clues are forthcoming! Glad I managed to surprise you with the plot twist.
