Three minutes!? Can a girl get an encore? Gotta love his assumptions throughout the entire story, but especially in this chapter: "unexpected? Hot? Best damn time of your life?"

I don't know what this says about me, but I just love your Desperate-Logan, who still manages to keep his badass-ness.

Can't wait for more fics from you! They're always great!

Very interesting. I've come across fics where Logan loses Marie, but a "reunion" or sorts? On Mars no less? Nope, not until this so I'm really excited to see where you take it :)

Oh mess. I like this. I really like this. Perfect balance of ass kicking & comfort from Logan - I bow at your ability to once again capture him so well. Marie is pretty damn heartbreaking here.

I can't wait to see where you go with this. I think this story is going to be an addiction so consider yourself responsible for keeping me from going through withdrawal...no pressure or anything ;)

Author's Response: I bow at your ability to make me bounce gleefully in my chair. And I promise, I\'m a total fanaddict enabler-you\'ll get the next chapter soon.

I feel like this was a transition chapter. A necessary one at that. Don't be so hard on yourself either! While we're all practically foaming at the mouth for updates don't forget that you should enjoy writing too. No more nightmares - only inappropriate Logan dreams from now on ;)

Author's Response: Lol. Thank you very much. I think everyone gets iffy on transition chapters. And I do love writing, even when I\'m struggling through it. Its just so dang fun! :)

My poor heartstrings. You should see what you've done to them.

There were so many things I just loved about this. Logan's calm rage, finally learning her name, the "Go" scene (killed me by the way).

I wish my vocabulary was advanced enough to tell you how much I love this without sounding like a broken record. I'm gonna go ahead & nap on it. Thanks for having this posted so soon!

Author's Response: Lol. Trust me, you could absolutely NEVER sound like a broken records. I\'m so greedy when it comes to reviews. And I\'m always worried my reply doesnt show gratitude sufficiently. Thank you!!!.....Oh, and I\'m very glad u liked the Go scene, and his talk with Jean. I was worried about those.

Yay! You made my day. I love coming home from a tough day at work to a new chapter of a story that I'm obsessed with. Just when I think you've exhausted the levels of human depravity you come up with people putting a girl in a storage compartment of a vehicle after everything else that was done to her.

I completely agree with you in regards to Hugh Jackman's bare chest. I'm pretty sure exposure to it cures just about anything actually. It's just science.

In conclusion, loved this. It was kind of light on the kittens though...

Author's Response: The idea that I could make anyone\'s day makes mine. I could dance with the thought of someone being obsessed with my writing. Gracias....and of course it\'s science. You can find that in any medical book...but you gotta look very, very close. Bruce Banner didn\'t turn into the Hulk by a machine. He watched Kate&Leopold. P.S. I\'m workin\' on the kittens.

I always love your stories. You find the right blend of drama, humor, and in this case smutiness (let's pretend that's an actual word). I really like the premise of this & I'm interested to see where this goes!

Author's Response: Thanks! *blushes furiously* And I have no trouble believing \'smutiness\' is a word, even if Spell Check doesn\'t think so. This will go down some dark and ugly paths, but they will eventually lead to an ending I think any anti-Jean reader will appreciate. --Wendie

I cheated. I read this chapter on another site because I needed the fix while the gremlins were screwing around here. Hmm...let me read back the last part of that sentence & dissect the disfunction there.

Anyway, you make me hate Jean more than I thought was possible. Throwing her out of a plane is too nice. She's so seemingly perfect that even the splatter she'd make on the ground would be flawless. Comeuppance, I say!! Where's her comeuppance!!

*starts rioting*

Author's Response: *sends in the riot squad, complete with large dogs that only answer to German commands* Stay calm! Justice will be served, I swear! But before we pop the top on that can of adamantium-flavored whoop-ass, we need to see just what havoc she wreaked to deserve her punishment...I\'m hoping to post the next chapter by the middle of next week if not sooner. Btw, I really appreciate you tracking this down on FF. I\'ve done the very same thing with Comic-cake\'s latest story, but like you, I saved my review until I read it here. Thanks again! --Wendie

Well if she's earning her way to Hell at least she's traveling first class ;p

"Holy baby Jesus" is right. What's the cure for a mid-Atlantic heatwave? It's not this! Yeah, I had to crank up the air conditioning. My electric bill thanks you. I loved that this was more than 'gruntin' & ruttin' (which is also quite fine I assure you). Whatever feral feelings Marie absorbed weren't shown to be so much primal *need* as it was primal *tenderness*...if that makes sense, which was nice to see and written well.

Can't these two catch a break with privacy! *Shakes fist at the fates in your universe*

I forgot to review the last chapter :( I'm very lucky I still benefit from your updates.

*bows down to you & your awesome dialogue*

One question: Why does Marie get the case of the lusties after she absorbs Daken? I didn't quite catch the reasoning behind that a few chapters back either.

P.S. I agree with Moviemom from last chapter. This entire thing is so epic. I've never read anything by anyone who can write legit action so well :)

"Knocking him onto his back and then placing a single high-heeled boot to his chest." Your Rogue *would* rock those shoes while kicking ass.

I'm incredibly satisfied that Callum got his ass handed to him. Like, hot chocolate & a nap on a cold, rainy day satisfied. Hells yes.

Still holding you to the promise of smutty Rogan goodness.

"...like he was afraid the word would bite him" I liked this. Not sure why, but I just really did.

"Rocking her in the only arms that had ever been strong enough to hold her..." Ohhhhhh Emmmm Geeee. How spectacularly dead on is that sentence? Seriously. If that doesn't sum up Logan and Marie in any & all facets then I don't know what does.

My question in the last review was totally answered. This grasshopper has learned.

Also, was very glad to see the word "ragies" used. Awesome sauce :D

Tease! Tease!

I'd be put out if I wasn't so sure that you'd eventually deliver the goods. You're right though - this does feel necessary. While I like some good ol' fashioned Rogan smut like the next WRFAer, sometimes you've got to put it on the backburner until you get the characters' heads out of their asses.

I'm glad you followed your Marie-muse - she *did* have a point.

So.....uh....not to sound like a pervert or anything, but uh...can we get that smut now?
