Yikes, It was kinda hard for me to read this chapter in a emotionally affected kinda way.
I'm not a fan of angst, but I understand many time some angst is a necessary part of a good relationship drama.
Luckily, of all the angst ridden stuff, the type in the chapter is among the once I dislike the least.
Logan seems to be more angry at his inability to "fix" this relationship/timeline rather than Marie's stubbornness about emotional attachment.
That he takes is promise to her, which for all intents and purposes was never made so seriously, is very endearing. Fits his character very well.
On Marie's part id mostly a self inflicted wound, she did get into the relationship with different expectation that Logan, she is not accepting that she want more.
Very intense, I am looking forward to see who reaches out to who and what compromise they eventually come to.

Author's Response: I'm right there with you on my limits with angst, especially when I have to write it. *nods along* I like light and fluffy so this was definitely a change of pace for me. I always have to stick in a happy ending.

You're right that Logan's anger was focused at himself. He did take his promise seriously and I could see him getting into unnecessary brawls off screen while he was "working something out".

In the end, I think to fix this the reaching out had to be mutual to an extent. Rogue might have to do most of the heavy lifting, but Logan will always be there for her.

I hope the shipper tag will prevail over the angst tag for this story, I don't think I can take an unhappy ending here :(

Author's Response: :) This is the crash landing, emergency exits have been used and the couple will end up reunited. In other words, I couldn't handle an unhappy ending and I don't think RogueLotus would have let me leave it unhappy.
