*pant*, *pant*, *pant* --OH, YES, OH GAAAWWWWD!

I'm with Corinne on this one -- 100 percent. You DO have a gift. I may have to make my husband read this one... --Wendie

Ditto my review for your Logan POV piece. The romantic connection is there, whether you intended to write it or not. I suppose that's what the shrinks call 'projection'--me inflicting my beliefs about the characters onto your words--but, either way, I still liked the poem. --Wendie

Oooohh...a very good game. --Wendie

Some twists are more tasty than others...This one was SCRUMPTIOUS! *pant*, *pant*, *pant* --Wendie

I know you must have had your reasons for creating the 'Nipples' chant, but what it had to do with the actual story I still can't figure out. Even so, this was a nice look at how Logan deals with his feelings. Poor chap. Just when he thinks things are 'safe' and compartmentalized, he finds out they're still very much wide open and dangerous. Nipples, or not. --Wendie

Author's Response: I wrote this one while sitting in a train. I was on my way to visit my parents, it was some holiday season and the whole train was overbooked. I don\'t know if you have ever heard about phenomenon called earworm, but I had it. It\'s when something, usually music or song lyrics start echoing in your head for no apparent reason. Instead of latest pop/rock tunes I got \"nipples\". I think it lightened up this small ficlet and writing it down made it stop in my head.

I wonder if three hours is enough time to work up sufficient immunity to her mutation...hmmm...but, if not, well I get the feeling that he's always known she'd be the last woman he ever had -- the last one he'd ever really want once he'd had her. So, if he died in the act, I honestly don't think he'd mind at all... --Wendie

Oh, hell, I just can't stand to see a big fat zero in the Review slot, so...This was cute, especially Logan's thoughts, and it fit the song very well. Nice job. --Wendie

What was wrong with everyone back in 2006? No reviews? Silly readers!

Once again the 'Story of the Moment' feature has unearthed a true gem. Few words + lots of emotion = my kind of story. --Wendie

Few things curl my toes more than when that big, tough feral goes all mushy inside over his Marie. *sigh* Wonderful. --Wendie

Now there's a twist I wasn't expecting -- her leaving him. Him feeling used. Very, very good.

Peace,
Wendie

Dark? Definitely. Psychotic? Not on your life. He did what he had to do to protect the people he cared about from the darkest force he'd ever faced. The fact that he enjoyed a violent and, in the end, messy fuck while he was at it is, as you say, 'why we love him.' Great story. --Wendie

Her accent no longer dripped molasses and grits, but the tone was pure Southern belle. Scarlett O’Hara had nothing on Rogue at her most imperious, and the Wolverine quailed.

Quailed! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just from the tone of her voice--and your description left no doubt about what she sounded like. Perfect.

I really liked this. Poor Logan, having to 'watch out' for their original query as well as his forever-ain't-gonna-be-long-enough-to-love-you-like-I-need-to partner. 'One-time lover' my ass! --Wendie
