I wonder if she knows, finally, how empty her life really is without the connection -- the love -- she thinks she doesn't need. Excellent! --Wendie

Marie has an accident, and Logan... well, he has to deal with it.

Is there any chance I could bribe you to finish this story? Name your price. Chapter 1 was a total hoot and this one just added to the fun. Please, please, please give me more! --Wendie

And for the Wolverine, 'I'll never leave you again' is even better than 'I love you.' This was wonderful. --Wendie

That's our Logan -- the soul of a poet and the mouth of a drunken sailor -- and we wouldn't have him any other way. This was terrific. Makes me want to go look up the rest of the Compass Points series someday when I have time to sit and appreciate it. --Wendie

Logan finally explains some things.

"He's a man," Jubilee replied with all the easy confidence of a teenager. "You know how they've got that thing about hurting us . . . like they should get to decide how our lives go based on what they think hurts us."

That pretty sums up the basis for every word of angst written in every romance novel (or fanfiction story) since the beginning of time. OUTSTANDING! --Wendie

Scott ponders the need for earplugs.

This is too perfect. You've really got Scott pegged. I wonder if a whole lot of what he's hearing is pure acting, solely for an audience of one--one fearless leader, that is! --Wendie

This was spectacular. The 'I cried' lines were especially breathtaking and deadly accurate. Score another hit for the 'Story of the Moment' feature... --Wendie

So what if they really weren't in love at all. Could they still keep their hands off each other?

Until that last few lines, I didn't even think about Remy's red eyes...This was exceptionally well done. Here's to not only 'banishing the red' from their lives, but eliminating it from the color spectrum altogether. --Wendie

This was beautifully written, but oh so wretched...so unbelievably, unnecessarily sad. Her hope didn't just die; she hung it with a noose braided from her own unfulfilled expectations and her stubborn unwillingness to tell him how she really felt. He had nothing to do with it. --Wendie

Bobby's little display of Dominance provokes the Wolverine into feelings he probably shouldn't have.

My official new favorite Logan line ever:

"I don't have an ego. I don't need one." Priceless, positively priceless!

This is good. Ever thought about continuing it?
Peace,
Wendie

I have a feeling those two wishes probably sounded identical, with the possible exception of different pronouns. 'I wish he...'/ 'I wish she...'

This was very well done and self-preservation is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the Phoenix killing Scott. Great job. --Wendie

Funny and fluffy. Logan and a Baby? You decide.

Oh, girl, you look nothing like an idiot, I can assure you. This wonderful little fic makes you look like a talented writer I would very much like to see write lots more stories.

I wouldn't have to tell you about where I wanted to travel because I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

This line makes me wonder what other places she told him she wanted to go before she worked up her nerve and got around to talking about Toronto, a place she thought he might want to go with her.

'Tony the imaginary hot dog vendor' -- fantastic.

So glad he said, 'Yes'. --Wendie

I figured out who the giver and the recipient were by the 'two turtle doves', but I had to read the whole thing to see how dumb Logan felt when *he* finally knew the truth. Love the 'Christmas' present that got unwrapped nine months later. Great job. --Wendie

It continues to puzzle me how wonderful little ficlets like this one can go so long with a big, fat zero in the review column. Didn't anybody else notice the heartbreaking honesty in this? Wasn't anyone else moved to comment on exquisite lines like these:

And for a moment, I consider answering him, telling him about the agony and the fire and the ice that turned me from lava to stone, but I discard that, because he wouldn't have understood.

So I speak to him in a language he *does* understand. I stop beside him and say, quietly, "Because, Logan, because I can."

I walk away without giving him time to respond, and as I do, my eyes feel like marbles: cold and clear, and empty as glass.


Apparently not. Personally, I couldn't stand to let something this good go unheralded. So I didn't. --Wendie
