Very cool - great job in describing the physical changes in Rogue, and I back tracked and read the part where the baby was fine because to tell you the truth, the last chapter had me convinced that tragedy was on its way!

Love where you left off, lol, but you sure as heck better continue this story considering you forgot about it! :)

Complications arise when some of Rogue's college classmates unwittingly involve themselves in the day-to-day lives of the X-Men

K - super happy you updated this! Just a quick review because I need to go back and read back a few chapters to back into the swing of things, but thank you so much for updating! Fantastic writing!

EEP! k, if I thought last chapter was evil (awesome, but EVIL), now this one just managed to top it! :) I love your skill with the dialogue between them but please tell me that the next chapter is on its way? Pretty, pretty please?! :)

Very beautifully written - you really expressed how much Logan/Wolverine cared for her.

“Marie,” he rasped, eyes on hers, “you know this means forever, right?”

One of the best ways of Logan telling Marie that he loves her I have ever read. :)

OOOoo, what's going on here?

Oh wow, that is some mysterious stuff going on right now! I am so hooked, lol, a thousand guesses are running through my head about where you are taking this but I'll stay patient - your updates are awesome. Good job by the way, your writing is excellent. :)

Very nice dialogue between Rogue and Elizaveta - the trust the child has towards her and the affection Rogue has for her really shines through. I won't tell you my guesses are about what's going to happen - I would be too mortified if I was way off the mark lol! Thanks for the update - great work as always! :)

Contained in an inescapable bunker, Logan and Rogue must pass the time.

I just found this and I am, just , well, you know....*ahem* You my dear, are very, VERY talented. ;)

Logan has taken in a desperate and on-the-run Marie who has offered ‘anything’ in exchange for his protection. Logan wants everything. This story chronicles is what happens to them and their relationship dynamic as they learn about each other during the return ride to Xavier’s. It also explores how their rather non-traditional relationship is received by the team once they arrive at the mansion. This story was inspired by Kristine’s “Anything” http://www.wolverineandrogue.com/wrfa/viewstory.php?sid=2559. This story will make more sense if you have read "Anything" first as my opening chapter picks up right where Kristine’s story ends. Besides her story is one of the best W/R pieces ever written so you might as well go read it - NOW! :)…I’ll wait.

I have officially made today "serafim day" and will spend it settling in and reading this story as slowly and as thoroughly as I can. I remember reading it a while ago, but now that you're updating again, I can't help but invest in this story again.

This deserves a lengthy review for each chapter because it is simply amazing. Really. What you have taken here, the premise of your story is nothing short than mesmerizing and your writing just transcends it. You are extra-ordinary at telling this story - words fail. Really. They fail.

So many parts of this chapter got me breathless but here's a few:

His voice was thick and laden deep with seduction, want, and most importantly command.

This pretty much summed up the first chapter for me. :)

He thought he saw what might have been a very very small uptick of a smile from her, but she just nodded instead.

There she is. I don't think Logan quite understands what he's getting himself into here!

Love it. This is the Wolverine/Logan that I just simply ADORE. :)

Author's Response: I am in awe that you have given me an entire day. I really hope to keep up with your expectations as we go forward. Thank you for taking the time to review each chapter, it is very much appreciated. Have fun picking up your youngest and hopefully I will get chapter 7 done before the 4th of July holiday. :) Thank you again, Alesia

Sigh.

Again, I am in awe of your writing skills. I completely get Logan's thrill with having Marie under his control, his acceptance of that part of him that wants to own her, mold her. You drew me completely in.

With amusement Logan thought that if he could just have a blowjob and go down on a woman before every X-men mission, the Brotherhood and the FOH wouldn’t know what hit them.

OMIGOD. LOL, I loved this. He could probably rule the world if he wanted to - you really got across his enjoyment of this particular part of sex. :)

Maybe she was even strong enough deal with him - all of him, even the darkest parts.

Need I write anything here? Clear as a bell.

Now onto Chapter Three...

Author's Response: I am really glad you liked the bit of humor. This story is so intense it needs a bit of sacrasim here and there. I deeply appreciate your complements on my skill. Writing is hard for me with the dyslexia, sometimes I think completely backwards to what ends up on the page so it takes me forever, but I am humbled that you enjoy it so much.

Very intense chapter.

His thighs looked like they could hold up the weight of the sky.

It's descriptions like these that stun me. Your thought process is mind-boggling.

Like I said, very intense chapter - you explained the relationship he had with Jean with such clarity, I never hated her as much as I did reading about how she strung him along. The silk boxers? Wow. What. A. Bitch.

Poor Marie - a real Jekyl and Hyde moment with Logan at the end! :)

Author's Response: Logan is going to have to work on that Jekyl and Hyde thing, he has to learn he must think before he reacts when it comes to Marie, but sad to say we aren\'t there yet.

O_o

Holy. Crap. That was so powerful - poor. poor Marie!!!! This chapter is my favourite so far (but only barely, the others previous are right up there.) Such a beautiful job conveying what Logan was feeling, what Marie was feeling...Bravo, bravo, bravo.

Secretly, he feared the desperately wounded man would whimper, whine and beg her to tell him it all wasn’t true and that she really loved him

:( So powerfully honest - my heart just broke for him here. I. Hate. Jean.

PS - love the scene with Beast and Jubilee :)

Author's Response: I am glad you like the Jubliee and Hank bit, they are a couple I hadn\'t thought about until I started reading fandom and now they are one of my favorites. And don\'t worry I have never had any use for Jean so we have more Jean bashing to come.

Damn, he was one lucky, corrupt, dishonorable son of a bitch.

What. A. Chapter.

You, my dear, are the queen of all Smutdom. Holy, holy, holy hotness - I am taking notes (for my story, *ahem* not for... you know...um...where is my damn husband?!)

;)

Author's Response: Thanks, my aim with this story was to keep the smut throughout the entire thing so don\'t worry we have more to go (or to come...:P)

Wonderful.

You have really established their relationship here, and his need for Marie to understand that he intends to take care of her. I can hardly wait to see how this evolves - good stuff!

Now I must officially end "serafim day" and gather up my youngest from school, lol! :)

Author's Response: Serafim - Thank you so much. I really wanted to get Logan\'s intentions established quickly. Even though he is darker than normal in this story, I believe at heart he is still a man we would want to know.

In one moment, one split decision changes the lives of two people and Hell is what it leaves in it's wake!

What a powerful chapter!!! That was so heartbreaking - poor Logan, poor Marie. After everything Marie has gone through, she deserves happily ever after....please tell there is one...

Author's Response: There is light at the end of the darkness I promise, though we might have a long way to go to get there!! I am a sucker for happy endings!!

Logan returned to Rogue, not for the first time. But this time Marie behaves odd and she has a little secret, that wouldn’t stay a secret any longer.
Now the two make their first experiences in parenting their baby.

I love the way you integrated Laura into your story - I kind of hoped you would bring her in when you had brought up her name as a possibility for Becca's in one of your earlier chapters. In the comics, Wolverine has been portrayed in so many different capacities in regards to her (Father/Brother etc) but his protectiveness towards her always grabbed at me. Good job! :)

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I intended to bring Laura into this story from the very beginning,that\'s why I had her name mention but then again drop it; so you\'re right :)

Reviewer: serafim Signed
Date: 05/04/2011 Title: Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Oh no, I hope everything's okay with Laura. :( Beautifully described, I really like reading Logan as a kind, attentive father. But really, poor little kid - you've done a great job showing how the lab affected her.

Reviewer: serafim Signed
Date: 05/16/2011 Title: Chapter 46: Chapter 46

Personally, I really like the attention you are focusing on Laura and the relationship that is developing between her and Logan and Marie. I think it adds to all their characters, and makes me care for them more, plus the fact that it opens up the story and lets me see the world around them more vibrantly. I absolutely adore Rogue/Logan-centric stories, but I really like stories like yours as well in that it brings other well fleshed out characters that they can interact with. Great chapter, as usual. I am really enjoying this! :)

3 levels of punishment. No way to escape. Two rules, do as your told and behave. Mutants are being rounded up for experiments and left in the hands of a secret government cooperation. Rated Adult for a Reason.

I am so happy to know that you're okay (somewhat okay, anyway) and I am so sorry for what you are going through. My prayers and many others have been and will continue to be sent your way - take care of yourself, and others around you.

Despair, deceit and pain - this is only a taste of what awaits Wolverine when he and Rogue finally become an item. Because old enemies are stirring in the dark .....

So, I get this update while I'm waiting for my daughter's school bus to arrive, and I stupidly think I can do it justice while reading it on my tiny iphone. From the first few sentences, I knew that I was going to be transported. So, impatient though I am, I very calmly retrieved my child, made her lunch, and once she was safely placed on the sofa to watch her Yo Gabba, Gabba, I sat down to read your latest installment.

I don't even know how to begin. I couldn't very well cut and paste the entire content of your latest Chapter, but in all honesty, each and every single word was perfection. It is gobsmacking how you are able to immerse yourself so completely into your imagination that you can describe what you see in such a masterful, thorough manner. I envisioned everything with such clarity! The inner dialogue, the interactions with the guard, Frost and even Control, the setting of the home and its inhabitants - just, well...masterful. That's the best word for it.
I am so glad you have reposted you story, it's incredible. I am constantly amazed by the quality of writing I find on this site, and you my dear, set the bar with this new addition.

Thanks so much for this :)

Author's Response: When I first opened the reviews page and saw the length of your review I thought \"Oh oh, what have I done now?\" Because past experiences have proved that I usually only get long reviews when someone has a bone to pick with something I\'ve written. However, having now read your enthusiastic words I find myself humbled and more than a tad excited by how much enjoyment you got out of the latest chapter. I won\'t say the words come easy, because they don\'t, and sometimes I sit for hours with my pen in hand just trying to think of a single word to describe a particular feeling. However, Wolverine is so much a part of me - (I\'ve been reading his adventures in the comics since I was eight years old) - that I often feel I know him better than he knows himself and when I am writing for him I seem to \'plug\' into his mindset, thus enabling his particular way of looking at things to come forward. Crazy, I know, but there it is! I am so pleased you are enjoying the story so far. I am enjoying writing it and it\'s a huge relief and an encouragement to know that I am actually producing something that my readers deem worthy of their time. Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope I can continue to earn your praise and encouragement!!

I am so happy you updated (though not about your family's situation). Wonderful descriptions, little things like Stark's employees griping about being hungry add that much more vividness to your story. I really enjoy your Tony Stark and I really look forward to *hopefully* Logan returning. Your Rogue is so strong, just the way I like her! :)

Wedding bells are a-ringing at Xavier's when Kitty drags Logan, Marie and Jubes off to New Orleans for her big day. But Wolverine's going to regret sending her to see his old friend Gambit- Because suddenly he's not the only handsome, cool badass with an interest in Rogue. But there's no cause for alarm, is there? And why are Jubes and Kitty grinning like that anyway..?
