This story could be used as a textbook definition of UST. Good freakin' night! I kept wanting to yell, 'Hundreds of fan fiction writers have solved the problem of her mutation, why can't you two figure something out?' Or words to that effect. Which just proves I've lost all touch with reality...

Anyway, well done! --Wendie

Best second person story ever. Period. Hell, it's a great story in ANY person. *sniff* --Wendie

Stupid feral. Ever hear of 'It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'? He's wrong to not give himself and Marie the chance to see if this time he might make better, smarter choices. This is stubbornness and fear masquerading as noble sacrifice. And I could not possibly be this pissed off at Logan if this wasn't a very, very well-written glimpse inside his head. Nice job. --Wendie

You're so damn good at these. --Wendie

'Dark' ain't the word for it. 'Blacker than the ace of spades' is more like it. But very well-written. Who knows how far any of us might go to get what we need? --Wendie

OK, 258 hits and not one review? No one, not one reader found this worthy of a 'good job' or 'loved it' or even 'you gotta be kidding.' You gotta be kidding.
This was wonderful in a poignant, rip-your-guts-out kind of way. There's a feeling of 'almost' or 'if only' that will leave us always wondering, 'what if..?'
Peace,
Wendie

Your last line says it all...Exquisite! --Wendie

A lovely and fitting end to this trilogy. I'm a sucker for stories where these two end up in bed together after being too long apart. --Wendie

Somehow I see Logan rolling on the ground laughing while the other two holler 'in shocked unison'. But that's just me. --Wendie

Logan loves like he does everything else -- no holds barred. Great story. --Wendie

This is amazing. I keep thinking of those tavern puzzles that look so deceptively simple on first glance, but then turn out to be brain busters of the highest order. I can see how the previous reviewer was confused, but I think I might have figured a few things out. If I may...the answer to all of ct_xfan's questions is in the question Logan's tormentor posed--"Why do people always want what they cannot have?" Rogue 'killed' Marie to spare herself the pain of never being what Logan wanted, and then as soon as Marie was 'dead' Logan realized what he'd lost, but it was too late. In the end, the joke is on Rogue, because as she says herself -- "I STILL want to." (be the Marie that Logan imagines her to be). She, too, still wants what she can't have -- all the love Logan felt for Marie. --Wendie

You know, the way you write him, I like Scott a whole bunch, too. He's even concerned that Logan will get hurt if he comes back, not just Rogue. I really dig the whole 'shades of red/listens better than he sees' thing, too. Outstanding. --Wendie

Oh, lordy, that was...um...uh...*pant*, *pant*...oh, you get the idea... --Wendie
