P.S. Feel free to consult me about any Japanese if you ever want Logan to speak some. I'm happy to use my powers for good (rather than the evil homework ;P ).

Author's Response: I have no plans for them to go jetting off to Tokyo, but I\'ll definitely call on you if I do!

“Don’t you ever try to hurt what’s mine again.”

Okay. There was squeeing when I read that. A lot of it. :D Like an overexcited fangirl.

LOVE this chapter. I have to admit that Jean's character is this unique person that I can really like in fics or I can really hate. There are very few characters that I feel can go both ways, but I totally buy a Bitch!Jean as well as a Jean who more like a sister and friend...odd.

Again..."mine" ::melts:: OMG. I really can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Tee hee. I\'m so glad I could make you squee. And aren\'t we all overexcited fangirls, really? I\'m so glad you liked this chapter. I\'ve always fallen on the side of barely mentioning Jean at all or having her be some vague nice person in the background, just because having major Jean/Marie tension doesn\'t seem helpful for the ultimate cohesion of the mansion. Lately, though, I\'ve been reading some fantastic Mean!Jeans, between Romeo is Bleeding, a re-read of The Girl, The Private Dance, etc. I just couldn\'t help jumping on the Jean-haters bandwagon, at least for one chapter.

WOW!!!

Excellent chapter! And so quick- thanks so much! :D You made my day. I can't wait for more...the plot thickens. ;)

Author's Response: :-D Glad you liked it...and that I could cheer you up. Hope your difficult days are behind you! And yes, the plot is definitely thickening...I better figure it out, huh?

Whoa. Intense. Poor Rogue. :(
Great chapter. Little nervous about Logan going to see magneto on his own, but oh so interested in what's gonna happen next.

Author's Response: Yeah, Magneto and Wolverine never sounds like a good idea, does it? It\'ll take a few chapters before I get there, but hopefully it\'ll be worth it!

Ahhhhhhh! How does this just get better and better????

Loved this chapter! Ooh, is Marie gonna do something a little more hands on to hurt those who hurt her? Can't wait for more! This was my treat for getting about halfway thru a chapter of my thesis. :)

Author's Response: I\'m so glad you\'re liking it! Marie is definitely going to get more hands-on, but it may not go the way she expected. ;-) And congrats on your thesis chapter!

I know!!! Where is atmd??

But anyway, damn this was good. If this is what comes out then the weekly deadline is wonderful. I always think it must be so hard to write a person so animalistic. Harder still in Logan's case where he's balancing both aspects up there on the edge of his consciousness.

Can't wait to see more- especially how Marie will be when she surfaces (assuming she does). Love this story!

Author's Response: I know, right? First atmd taunts us by telling us \"The Private Dance\" is all written, and then she disappears! We need some kind of Rogan bat-signal to call people back when things get grim around here. At least Jaq came back, though. :-) I\'m glad you liked this chapter despite the rush-job. I was having a hard time finding a balance between making Feral!Rogue\'s thoughts animal-like (e.g., not knowing all the words for things) without making it too confusing. I\'m also interested to see how she reacts once she surfaces -- she manages to surprise me sometimes. :-D Glad you\'re liking the story, and thanks so much for being such a faithful reviewer!

Oh man, I love this.

Fics where Logan knows before Marie. Where Logan is more open and aware with feelings than she is. It's so refreshing to see his honesty. Must be the part of him that is more accepting of his feral part. He just *knows*. And he knows nothing will change the way he feels about her.

"I'll wait."

I melted. Really. Marie has got some crazy control not to melt and throw herself at him then. I certainly would. lol, no self-control when it comes to a Logan who has decided he knows what he wants. ;P

Can't wait to see how this plays out!

Author's Response: Aw, so glad you\'re liking it. I\'m having a really tough time getting these guys toward something romantic. I\'m glad you liked the decision to move Logan forward even if Marie is still lagging a bit! And I agree, he would have had me long before now. ;-) Thanks so much for reviewing!

I like this Stacy (or Miranda, whatever she goes by). Love her attitude!

Oh man, how are you gonna end it there??? But maybe that's good. Keeps me from taking too long a break from my thesis work. lol. This was a good chapter. Short, but excellent. Can't wait for more!!!

Author's Response: Yeah, Stacy has moxie. ;-) Hope your thesis is going well! Thanks for reviewing.

Okay, this was probably my favorite chapter so far. My stomach's doing somersaults, wondering what will happen. Love it!! Can't wait to read more!

Hope the studying is going well!!

Author's Response: So glad you liked it! Thanks for your review. THe studying is...going. ;-)

Rescue mission!!!!

Eek, can't wait for more!!!!!

Author's Response: Yup yup! :-D Thanks for reviewing!

Sooooo happy to see such a quick update!!! Love it!!!!! :)

Author's Response: Hopefully I\'ll be back on a more or less weekly schedule now. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Oh no!!!! These two just cannot cath a break, can they????

Great update! Looking forward to more after that cliffhanger!

Author's Response: Yeah, it\'s one damn thing after another for these two, isn\'t it? I have to write a story some day when they both just lie on the beach all day, sipping margaritas, to make it up to them. ;-) THanks for reviewing!

Ingenious! Lol, going out with a bang..

I really love what she did for Xavier. Poor Charles. And of course Logan and Marie have the beautiful connection and trust even in this brief final chapter. Lovely.

Great story! I look forward to your next! ;)

Author's Response: Yeah, when Marie and Logan put their heads together, they can be pretty darn devious. :-) Yeah, Xavier is such a closed book, I like that she got that glimpse into his feelings via Eric\'s memories and then acted to spare him. Thanks so much for reviewing!
