you know a story is good when after you've finished reading you just can't change it to another page without some time to digest it first.

i've been staring at the screen for a good 2 minutes now.

well done. it was gratifyingly heart rending. my favourite kind.

Thank you so much for continuing this, this is one of the few Logan in captivity fics that i like, i love that you havn't made him all OTT feral either. and please (times infinity) continue this.

Author's Response: You are welcome so much! :D It didn\'t feel right to make him completely feral in this just because he\'s been doing it a while. Its not like he just woke up in the tanks; he\'s a working living killing machine. Gotta have some wits about you.

First of all YAY you updated! and secondly, guess who! lol it's My Broken Quill who TMI'd you from fanfiction.com with the review that you deserve.

god, it's been a while since i've read this and i've decided to re-read it so i can give you a review as briliant as the delicious ones you give me - and of course because your story is tasty. McFlurry tasty ... that's some serious taste.

*'I wanted more than just almost’s and barely’s for the rest of my life'


I am a word junky, seriously i get shivers when people hit THAT spot, and that line just made me wish i had written it.

really brilliant start, you're rogue is very uh what's the word? ... prone to meloncholy. i like her, yet the fact that it's her that logan relies on to get him our of the rut he's in says a lot about her too.

and i also like the fact that the hints about who logan wants is quite subtle, even when you mention logan's messages we think like rogue and take it as the mumblings of a drunk guy. and i'm in love with the last hint, about him leaving his jacket.

one thing i've always had difficulty with is writing a drunk logan (and btw, you're drunk logan was HAWT!), i mean, how do you know after how much he gets drun by?

and finally - the sex. i like how you made it a blur, like it was too much for rogue to process. kinda overwhelming for her and how there are hidden 'i'll be back' kind of messages in his goodbye too.

okay, so my review wasn't as good as yours but i'm currently low on sleep and keep blinking like an owl lol. well i'll either see you at the nex chapter of LC or at P3 of my story. whichever comes 1st

Author's Response: Girl, how could I forget you. Sorry I haven\'t replied to your email. See... I\'ve been busy. mmmmm.... McFlurries. Now you\'e got me rereading it. She\'s very someone else said it nicely.. I can\'t remember if it was here or ff.net or LJ, but she\'s damaged. Nicely so. I tried to let the reader pick up on stuff Marie herself was thinking and saying without connecting the dots. I left it open ended so that there was no definitive anwser on how he gets drunk, we just know he does. (HAWT huh?) I prefer to write sex like that, you don\'t need sticky details, just the emotion and what\'s relevant to the plot line. *grins* see you next Chap!

heartbroken walking pain - wow, you really want marie to feel bad don't you.

and logan's here! yay! i love how he runs his hands over her - god, i'm pathetic.

Author's Response: LOL, I really wanted her to get her head out of her ass. Yes, Logan\'s here. *grins*

wow, what an angry Rogue and the ending! I thought she was dead and then i read you AN. phew!

and that was a brilliant idea, havin them collect up the dangerous mutants. although - i'm not sure - arn't class fives really rare. as in jean. i can understand you putting Rogue in a class five but are there a lot more of them out there in your fic?

Author's Response: I am going to have a few more in this, but, you\'re right, not all of them will be class five. That will be explained later on. I don\'t want to give any more away, though! Thank you for reading!

heya askita! you're really in the mood to write these days arn't you?

I loved the 1st paragraph you wrote, made me think of jazz and a lonely dirt road in the middle of nowhere for some reason. but the ending was a suprise, the way you wrote it made it seem like she was alone and depressive, made me wonder if Logan had left her or something like that. then the tone changes completely when the guy starts a fight with her.

i also loved the back story you gave this verse, the whole mutants being more common but only 1 in 7 being actually powerful enough. loved that. was immeditaly barraged by a Children of Men style bunny, in the whole New World but not a better world kind of way.

and you just can't help but mention alcohol can you lol.

Author's Response: LOL! Girl, I\'m sorry I haven\'t responded to your eamil.
The whole story started out lonely, but then my muses took a different turn and wanted to give it a twist.
I wanted to creat a versitale world where things were exactly like you said. Things have changed, but not for the better that you\'d expect. Now it\'s just a different sort of bad. More steps need to be taken, you can\'t deal with things the way you used to. I wanted a set up where different people are there, but a few of the same remain. The best part about this world, I think, is that I can show some of the characters in a mew light. Where they\'ve benn changed, but not really hardened too much. Because life changes, people evolve in themselves emotionally as well as physically but at the same time don\'t really change. They\'re just given a new set of tools and a new society to work with. A new norm.
Plus, if I get any more bunnies that need worked out, I can toss them in here and have a whole new set of mutants and a whole new regime to work on. *grins*
And I think that alcohol is always going to be a part of society, a cause of problems and fun times. A constant added factor in most everything around. Wether is the decision to abstain, enjoy, or iverindulge. *smiles*

"rinse and repeat" - i love that line. very well done, i always have a peek when you update and i'm never regretful that i did so.

the last few paragraphs though ... did it seem a lil ... uh ... hmmm... like it was poetic? or was it just me?

Author's Response: Whoops – and I specifically promised no more poetry!!! The working title was ‘Demons and Storms’ and I might yet change it back! – It’s hard enough for me to understand what’s going on in my head let alone try and explain it but I’ll give it a go; Logan is often portrayed as wild, more animal than man – I was aiming for more man than beast but an untamed version, one used to being on his own and emotionless and therefore struggling with unknown feelings - hence him calling them ‘demons.’ He may be more man but I still see him at home with nature, so I have him contemplating his predicament using the sun/snow etc. I wasn’t aiming for poetic; I was trying for a bit more depth to the man side whilst still keeping his other side. I seem to have missed depth and gone off course to somewhere over the top!! Warning; you may well need you’re poetic head on for the last part! Thanks for fb x
