I like the dark Logan. I like it even more when he shows a bit affection. Be sure to finish this! :)

Author's Response: Don\'t worry, it is back underway, I will get there if you guys bare with me.

(Please don't freak out by this review)

First of all, I squealed like a little girl (i'm 20 though) when I saw the new chapter was up.

Then I read it. Then I fell in love with you. All over again.
So... I love you.
I have a girl-crush on you. Is that weird? It certainly isn't weird for me, because.... well... why wouldn't I fall for someone like you? You amaze me every single time you put up a new chapter. You almost attack me with all these surprises that I hit the ground so hard I pass out! Just as I think (and secretly hope) that everything's gonna be OK, you complicate things! You annoy me by your over complicated changes and twists. You're so annoying. And so annoyingly good at writing! Ugh!! I hate you. But I also love you.

I don't know how I feel about this fic. I used to love it. I think I still do. But its sad to know that this will end soon. So I'm confused, because a part of me wants you to update so I get all the answers I want, like "will everything be ok? will Marie know how much Logan likes her? will Marie ever be comfortable with *those* kinda activities?"
Then, there's the other part of me who doesn't want you to update for a long time.. cause then I can enjoy this for a lil longer.

Nonetheless, this was an amazing chapter. I love how you're portrayed Logan in this one. That its not easy for him to stop doing what he's doing; you've made him look so human - despite the fact that he's anything but that. I mean, even though he's so buff and strong and stubborn and confident, around Marie he's so not all that.. he's so human. And the fact that the girl is still afraid of those kinda touches etc. is so realistic. I can't imagine a better way to have described that.

Now back to my girl-crush.. I don't even know you, but I'm so proud of you. I'm so damn happy that I got to experience your stories - particularly this one. You, ma'am, are a VERY talented writer. Have you considered publishing works outside fanfics? Cause if you do, I'm 99% sure that you'll do a great job!

To answer your question, YES; it was worth waiting :) oh and did I mention that I love you? hahaha :D

Author's Response: Freaked out? I am incandescently happy. Completely understand what you mean, though I\'m skeptical that my writing could honestly produce that response--it\'s how I always feel toward reviews and reviewers as spectacular as this and you. I\'ll be rereading this for the next decade or so (more or less). Thank you, a thousand times and fifty or so more after that.

I have four things to say:

1. I thank you.
I've said it before and I say it again: this is The best fic I have ever (and probably ever will) read. I am sad that this has come to an end, but so darn grateful that you've finished this incredible story! So, thank you for that, and more importantly thank you for a phenomenal ending.

2. I admire you.
You are an amazing writer; your skills, your style of writing, your wording, your use of figurative language, your descriptive writing. You are very, very talented. I wish I could be half as good as you are. When I saw the Epilogue was up, I had my expectations, but you surprised me again. I've noticed that you didn't refer to Marie as "the girl" anymore, but you used her name. It's a great symbolism for her character development; that she's not just "the girl" anymore, she's becoming stronger and independent (even though she sometimes needs Logan, but to be fair we all need our loved ones to be close to us). I admire you deeply.

3. I respect you.
A lot of people told you -begged you even! that they want a happy ending, perhaps a little smut included. But your ending is anything but that. The Epilogue is so short, you've wrapped up things rather quickly - but neatly nonetheless, and so realistically. You've proven that you're a bold story-teller; you have the guts to do things your own way, you don't give people/your fans everything they want. I think that's how a true artist should be like and I respect you for that. (and btw, that's what distinguishes you from Stephenie Meyer!)

4. I love you.
My favorite line is "Which of the two men had been the one to hurt her, change her in a way that could not be forgotten with a few words and a happy ending?" This is such a great line! It's so heart-breaking, so good, so deep! So simply wow! I love how you've developed Logan's character throughout this story; from being a dark man/killer who gave "the Girl" sandwiches wrapped in paper, to someone who makes her bookshelves. The bookshelves were so lovely. I know I said I don't like a soft Logan, but I feel like now is the right time for Logan to be soft. You know, this reminded me of a quote by Samuel T. Coleridg "All men, even the most surly, are influenced by affection." I'm sending my love to you.


PS. if I had a Gift Certificate to "One Night with Hugh Jackman", I would most definitely give it to you, because you deserve it :D

Author's Response: I was so thrilled to see this--had a big, stupid grin on my face for hours any time I even began to think of it. Though I could not be more flattered/honored/euphoric/everyhappyadjectiveintheEnglishlanguage that you think so, there are numerous writers on this site that leave my story and me coughing on their dust--you might want to check out jjblazer, or Aranenumanesse, or Jenn. They are the masters........Very glad you liked the use of her name; I was worried about how effective that would turn out to be. And the bookshelves, which I almost cut out. Thank you for this very inspirational/lovely/generous/ego-stroking review. I\'ll be walking on air for a long time because of it.

Oh Lord... I'm blushing so hard. You have a deliciously filthy mind, doc! -giggles-

Now if you don't mind, more please!

Author's Response: Yeah, I definitely blushed writing it! Thanks for the review!

Aww :) Your version of Logan is so shweet!
Thanks!

Author's Response: So glad you liked it! I thought he was quite sweet in the previous chapter, but I was worried that he came across a little cold in this one. In my mind he was just trying not to fall all over Marie when he first saw her, and it was his self-doubt/fear that was makign him play it so cool, but it\'s hard to convey that even though it was written from his point of view. And I had no idea before I wrote it that Marie would fall apart so completely...I\'m finding it very odd how the characters surprise me. Thanks so much for your review!

Happy to see you here again! I'm intrigued to see where this is going, cause it's vey different than what you usually write. Definitely different in a good way! Do I need to say more? Just keep it coming.

Favorite line "and her locks--streaked white through yet another fashion beyond his comprehension or patience"

Lots of love from Denmark

Author's Response: Happy to see *you* again. Hafta say, you\'re kinda my hero after your last reviews. Thank you very much; I hope you continue to enjoy this piece.

Wow! Could these two be any crankier? I love your version of Logan. He's so... annoying. So not domestic! I really wanna know how these two will bond? But I also like your pace; taking things slowly - very realistic.

I love this part: "He did not notice when the Blackbird lifted its wings to meet the sky,.." It's very clever how you've used Logan's phobia of flying. That he's so taken by her that he doesn't even notice his "fear". Excellent!

And yes, my favorite author, I will send (if I have any) my questions to you. Okay, here's a question: when will you upload chapter 5?? :-D

Author's Response: Annoying....in a gritty, dark, realistic way or an obnoxious way? Because I was totally shooting for obnoxious. ;~D Things will speed up semi-sorta-soon. I hope you will enjoy it just as much then. Thank you for this. I always walk around with on air after reading one of your reviews.

Whoa... so, where to start? First, thanks for the update (and that was not meant as a sarcasm, but gratitude)
You know what I like about you? You're so bold. So unpredictable. Like this chapter. I really, really, really loved it. The twist was so good! Wasn't something I expected or thought of. Although it was kinda obvious, now that I think about it. Anyway, there are many good things to say about this chapter. I love how you've portrayed Logan/Wolverine. And yes, I meant obnoxious. Gotta love him. One last thing, it's a great way to make these two bond. I think now Logan's gonna be more understanding of her pain and what she's going through. Before, Logan was just an ass, but I feel like in this chapter we see a new side of him. A softer side. Anyway, I really like it. I admire you so much.

Now, you have a great Easter.
Lots of love, Tamana

Author's Response: ***WHOMP***<--That\'s the sound of me throwing myself at you. One hundred and thirty pounds of ecstatic rogan fan giving you a bear hug--no, a wolverine hug because, let\'s face it, Logan would take down Yogi in a single punch. You\'re unbelievable. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and I hope this holiday and all the ones that follow bring you everything you could ever want. >hugs<

Hey, I'm using my phone. Before, I couldn't log on, but now I can - which is great.

So, thanks for a wonderful chapter. Everything was great about it, especially regarding our favorite girl Marie's mutation.

I'm dying to find out about Iceboy and the last part - Scott thing! And I hate you for making me wait! Please, upload the new chapter as soon as you can.

Now, because you did an excellent job on this chapter, I'm gonna wish you a sweet dream (cause its night in here) involving a certain hairy feral mutant :D enjoy!

Love,
Tamana

Author's Response: Interesting! I wonder if they changed the site\'s mobile access up in a way that fixed your phone access and torpedoed mine. :-P I\'m so glad you liked the chapter. I\'ll do my best to be quick with the updates! Thanks for the dream wishes, and right back atcha. ;-)

Aarrrgh! I was hoping you would give us some answers. What did she do to Iceman??! Why won't she talk about him?? Is he dead?? Did she kill him? Is that why she has nightmares?! Does Logan know about Bobby?? Is it somehow connected to Scott?? Logan's gotta know something, right?? Aaargh so many questions! Btw, Marie's gonna be SO mad when she finds out about Logans motives.
MOOOOOORRRRRRRRREEEEEEE please :)

Author's Response: Ha. I\'m sorry, I\'m not trying to be mean. You\'ll get some answers soon, I promise. I just finished writing chapter 5. In chapter 4 you find out the favor Logan asked of Xavier (\"not Scott...\"). In chapter 6 you\'ll find out what happened to Bobby. In chapter probably 7 you\'ll find out what happens when Marie finds out about Logan. Stay with me! ;-)

As much as I love Wolverine (and Rogan) I loved when he got his a** kicked! He deserved it - feeling guilt or not - he really DID deserve it. I'm on team Rogue. But please post the new chapter soon - I hate seeing Marie and Logan seperated.

Sending my love (and a chocolate Easter egg), because this was an awesome chapter :-)
And have a great Easter!

Author's Response: Yum! Reviews, love, and chocolate! What better combination could there be? ;-) Yes, poor Logan did deserve his set-down, but hopefully he\'ll prove his worth and still get the girl in the end. ;-) Luckily I got them back under the same roof at least in the next chapter, so you didn\'t have to wait long. :-D

:) Thanks for finishing this.
I for one, enjoyed it immensely! I loved your "corny" ending. It's not really corny, it's sweet; it's you-y :)

Love,
Tamana

Author's Response: Thanks for reading it! :-D I\'m glad you liked it, and I\'ll take it as a compliment that a sweet ending is me-y. ;-)

Not what I'm used to read. Which is good.
I can see myself reading this fic and always waiting for an update.
