I love Rogan pairings. So I expected to see good writing and yet hate the story despite that. I was so wrong. Excellent writing and I adore the story. Way sad, but not in a manner that left me feeling bereft. It made me feel so proud of Logan. I didn't expect that. I also like that it wasn't Marie that eventually figured it out and then brought the angst.

Author's Response: hey hun, wanted to say hi. so lovely to hear that you enjoyed this story- i had a tiny fear that i'd be strung up for pairing our roguey with someone who's not logan. i also have to say i'm proud of short, dark and hairy: he did what he thought was best for his girl no matter what the consequences. you have to love that. so thanks for the review and hobbits away, hey!

Hobbits do do it better. Damn. Good story. I like the differing points of view, the fairly sympathetic rendition of Jean (because, yeah, you want what you want, you know?), and the inclusion of one of my new favorite characters-- Captain America. Thanks for this story... now, where's the next? :)
Author's Response: hey hun, good to hear from you. glad to hear you liked this, and also glad you liked the jean sympathy which isn't always apparent among us WRFAers, lol. have to say Cap is one of my new favourite characters too. and as for where my other stories are- i'm in the middle of 3 at the mo', cut me some slack! ;-) hobbits away, hey!

Wow. An incredible chapter, wrought with such intense emotion and pain. And a suspenseful end, in a way.
Author's Response: thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it and hope you like the epilogue. H

Oh my...
That was so sad.
Beautiful in its way. But sad. And much as I like Rogers with her, somehow it just feels wrong. Lovely story and I can see how he (and she) would want that for her(self). ::sniffle:: Wow, I need a dose of fluff after that one...
Author's Response: hi love, just wanted to say thanks for the review. i hope i didn't upset you too much, but don't worry: there's plenty of lovely rogan fluff here at the wrfa so i'm sure you'll find something you like.:-)

Just kidding! I was really heartbroken to see it end like this, but you did a wonderful job writing it. Jubilee's voice was perfect, and the interaction between Wolverine and Laura was just achingly real. I would love to read the epilogue if you feel like writing one, but otherwise, beautiful story.
Author's Response: hey hun, thanks for the review. i'm glad you liked laura in this because she's a character i'm fascinated with: i'm trying to find something to put her in soon. also i think she gets a lot of how logan sees the world and provides an insight not even marie or jubes have. so if i got her right i'm a very happy hobbit! glad you liked jubes' voice too- i love writing her and i suspect it shows. i was trying to be as realistic as one can be when dealing with characters who have superpowers so if you found this "achingly real" (*blushes*) then i am a very happy writer. thanks for the review, hobbits away, hey!

From a writing perspective, I really like the way you constructed the story. You broke my shipper heart but I like the construction. At least you could have had him end up with Ro instead of Jean.
Author's Response: hey hun- lovely as always to hear from you, thanks for the review. i'm glad you liked the way the story was constructed because that caused more than one sleepless night, let me tell you. as for the rest of your review... i know i could have paired logan off with someone else at the end, even if it wasn't storm. but that's a whole other story, one that deserves its own few chapters. also, i think that jean in this story really does love him- and he has a better chance of salvaging some sort of relationship with her than magically moving onto someone else. jeannie's upset with rogue and it made her mean but she's not a bad person; in her place i might well act the same way. so might anyone else. she's human, just like the rest of us. i don't like jeannie-bashing in general and i felt it was inappropriate here so i left her and logan to try to pick up the pieces. i felt it was only fair.

Oh thats was so heartbreakingly amazing
I was kind of sad that logan and rogue didn't get to share thier love with eachother, but sometimes that just how it is.
Author's Response: you're totally right; sometimes you just have to accept that something's not going to work out. thanks for your review love

Oh. My. Holy. Damn. I really can't tell you how great I think this fic is. The way you write it just draws the reader completely in to the character's frame of mind. The way you write Jubilee is just so perfect.
Logan's pain and Rogue choosing Steve was a brilliant plot. I don't always like to see the 'easy' path of Rogue and Logan together against all obstacles. Sometimes that just doesn't work.
Really, it's brilliant. Thank you for listening to your muse and writing this. And, yes, I would love an epilogue...or ten more chapters. :)
Author's Response: hey hun, we have to stop meeting like this, lol. thanks (again) for your review(s). i'm so glad you liked how i wrote jubilee (another reader has said that they didn't know who was speaking so i was worried i hadn't made it obvious enough. it's nice therefor to hear that other people got it). i also agree with you that i don't like taking the easy path in fics; i always feel it's a disservice to the characters and the readers and i'm just so happy that people were willing to read even knowing this was going to turn out sad. thanks again for being so generous with your praise and i'm glad you enjoyed the story. ps- i think i really will have to write that epilogue now...

Thank you for updating this. I love love love this story and even though you've broken my heart into a tiny little pieces, it's so beautiful I don't care.
I love your Rogue so much. She's strong and tough and sassy and basically awesome.
The way you wrote Logan/Wolverine was wonderful too. It seems so realistic and heartbreaking and perfect.
Thank you for this story--I'm sad its over, but I know I'll be re-reading it!
Author's Response: aw, i'm hugging you over the internet: i didn't want to break your heart into tiny little pieces. but thank you so much for your kind comments, i'm glad you enjoyed it. i'm also very flattered that you like my version of rogue because i think sometimes it's too easy to make her a push-over and i hope i never do that. the stuff with wolvie felt like a risk for me: so many times he gets portrayed as this unstoppable, invulnerable being but i made him be really vulnerable in this and i wasn't sure i could pull it off. if i did then i'm glad and thanks for you lovely review.
