The Wolverine & Rogue Fanfiction Archive
Barely Legal Since 2000
Inspired by the excellent fanfic "Overlap" by RoseSumner...an epilogue to her story (with her permission). Rogue and Logan reconnect after a miscarriage drives a wedge between them.First review I write. Love your fic. I've read also the "original" fic, but with all due respect to wonderful RoseSummer, I hated her when she ended it with just a Hey Logan. Your one-shot is the perfect epilogue. I could almost feel their emorions, I could understand them. I've a 18 months son so maybe I'm a bit more sensitive about the subjecy, but I think your skills are undoubtedly huge. Great job, I'm going to read other fics of yours. Last but not least, every grammar or spelling mistake is due to the fact I'm not English mothertongue.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I\'m very honored to be the recipient of your first review. Yes, I love RoseSumner, but I also absolutely could not cope with anything less than a happy ending for her story, which is what pushed me to write the epilogue (and to get sucked into the world of fanfic in general!) And, yes, I think the loss of our first pregnancy made the subject very emotional for me too, which is why I was so compelled to give Logan and Marie the happy ending that I got as well. Thanks again for reviewing, and I\'m very impressed with your English.
God, I didn't now all the meanings! My knowledge ended with red rose means passion! Like someone else wrote, I think it suits him, I can see him doing this! Thanks for this cute little fic!
Author's Response: You are very kind and your words of thanks mean a great deal to me. I am sorry to be so late in responding.
Following this story on FF.net, but I need to leave a comment here as well...Love this chapter, possessive Logan is too hot and sexy, I never get tired of reading it, and I like your smart and strong Rogue! Thanks for this!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much for leaving a review! Yeah, there\'s a special place in my heart for protective/possessive Logan. ;-) I\'m glad you\'re finding Rogue to be smart and strong. That\'s always my goal. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
I've just left a review on Ff.net and now I've just re-read this chapter here...I like it, really. marie irritates me just a bit, because she's acting bitchy, but I suppose everything will be clear as soon as weìll find out what she's hiding. Can't wait to read chap.10!
Author's Response: Ha...I agree with you, it does seem like Marie is being kind of randomly bitchy in this chapter. She does have a reason for being mistrustful, but also I like to think of her as being the person she would be if she hadn\'t met Logan and the others six years ago. She\'s a Marie who\'s been knocked around and toughened up by life for six years on her own, and that\'s going to give her some jagged edges. It also gives her some of that ruthlessness that Logan\'s already seen, though. She\'s a survivor.
So, as usual, just left a review on Ff.net and now I re-read last chapter here...I like so much how you described her flow of feelings and thoughts, building up the strenght and the courage to trust him(God, I hope I'm writing in intelligible English!), I like your twist, with the great entrance of the brotherhood! And, I always love protective Logan!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much for leaving reviews! I\'m so glad you liked the chapter!
Love this eleventh chapter, because I really like your portraits of Xavier (the "My children" line was great!) and Erik(I don't dare write his surname!. I'm deeply cuious about the connection between Erik and Weapon X, and absolutely love the final Logan and Xavier's line: "Fick", "Indeed". Well said.
Author's Response: So glad you liked it! You might have to wait a few more chapters before we get back to Weapon X\'s involvement, but I promise interesting stuff happens in the meantime!
Great chapter! You can write 40 or even 100 chapters, if they're all like this one! I really appreciate the way you show us their budding connection through Ororo's eyes:things are much clearer from the outside, aren't they? Since I love protective Logan, I was "Awwww" reading Ororo's description of his behaviour.
The second half was harder:Rogue seems so unselfish, so generous, risking her identity, facing a such cruel task to save complete strangers.
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: I\'m so glad you liked it...I was so torn about whether it was an unnecessary diversion or if it added something useful to the story. Thanks so much for reviewing!
Strange boy...he's scaring me a bit. I have to admit I love "MeanJean getting her ass banged", but I also have to admit she wouldn't be a very interesting character so...well, I'm just trying to say I found interesting the interaction between Logan and Jean on the plane. The little scene between him and Marie made me "Awww" once more, so thanks a lot! Now she just have to drop her "I'm rotten, I'm crazy, I'm poisonous" role, and everything will be perfect...
Author's Response: Yeah, he is a little creepy, huh? I\'m glad you liked the other side of Jean\'s character...although I have to say that \"MeanJean getting her ass banged\" sounds like a whole \'nother kind of fic. I think MovieMom is writing that one. ;-) Yeah, I agree Marie has to get over her poison skin complex, but where would our fics be if Marie and Logan weren\'t hopelessly insecure about their mutations? About a chapter long, probably. ;-)
Good chapter. I'm a bit annoyed with Charles. C'mon, he's Erik/Magneto, you know him and still? I've this feeling Charles' too confident in his powers and his brain. But still, I've never liked Porf. X. I suppose Logan will be extremely angry, can't wait to read what's coming next! Thanks for sharing this story with us!
Author's Response: Yeah, Charles does seem to have a blind spot where Erik is concerned, doesn\'t he? My husband has started me reading the Uncanny X-Men series, and Charles is quite a jerk in those, I think it\'s overriding my love of Patrick Stewart and influencing my characterization of him. Thanks so much for your review!
God. Powerful. FeralMarie works sooooo well. Good job. Absolutely great job.
Author's Response: SO glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the review!
I've really enjoyed the exploration of Logan/Wolverine dynamics. I think it's pretty plausible, and even if I prefer the Wolverine's She's-my-mate-do-something approach instead of Logan's I'm-not-ready, She's-not-ready, It's-a-mistake one, I think it's more realistic and...I mean, it's not an end in itself, it works for the mechanics of your story.
What I'm try to say with my poor English is that you shouldn't worry about this chapter.
Also, I appreciate your mixing of canon and Au, with the nightmare scene that involves Rogue in his room but not at the end of his claws.
So, thanks for your regular updates, they make my day everytime, and thanks for this last chapter. Do not worry, I think it works well and even more.
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked the Wolverine vs. Logan dynamics, and that you found the non-smut realistic and not just frustrating. Thanks for reviewing!

So he'll wait. God, I melted.
It's great, I think. It's great to see him not smooth but aware of his feelings, and..in control. He knows and he'll wait. Great. I'm dying for some good Rogan smut(LOL) but I can't wait, this is better. This Marie has to learn how to trust, first. She seems so scared. Hope sheìll learn soon.
Sorry for the delay in my reading. The good thing is that now I can read more chapter in a row, Mwahahahah(dark laughing)!
Author's Response: I know. I hadn\'t expected him to say that, and when he did I melted a little too. It was about time I got one of these two on board with the relationship! Hope the smut was appropriately smutty payoff for the looong wait. Thanks for your review!
Oh. So Stacy is that Stacy, the one from the comic. Stupid of me to not understand it first. I like her, she has a way to fight her way out of every situation. I suppose I should not condone the idea of killing another men...but I think it would be a kind of poetic justice if she'll show with all her - his - money to a Xavier's funds raising party. I like her.
But now...c'mon, save Jube and Kitty already!
Author's Response: Not stupid...I think she\'s pretty obscure, as things go. I kind of admire her too, she\'s a little like this Marie, she takes care of herself instead of hanging around waiting for her white knight to rescue her. I can *totally* see her swilling champagne cocktails at a Xavier fundraiser.
Evil, evil you! What a cliffhanger! And knowing that you will not be able to update regularly, too!
Seriously, I was leaning forward towards the screen while reading, so captivating. Good job. What Erik plan will be? And Sabretooth role's? I'm not too sure the Brotherhood is against and not behind this kinf of traffic.
Good luck with your exams, studying is more important than this fan fic, despite what we reviewers couls feel, LOL!
Author's Response: Sorry for the cliffhanger! I really don\'t do it on purpose...it just seems like a natural stopping-point for the chapter. I\'m so glad you liked it. Thanks again for reviewing!
How dumb am I? I didn't realised you've already wrote another chapter when I left my review for the previous one.
Well, what can I say? Where in the hell she's going? Does she know about Erik's plans? Is there something else?
She should dread Logan'wrath, LOL!
I'm so happy they found Jube and Kitty. Jube is always the best!(Nice night for a swim, AH!).
I'm a bit confused about Etik's voice in her head saying my love, my betrayer...
Last thing...go back to study, you crazy fool, LOL! Thanks for this, but keep studying, we do not want a bad exam on our conscience!^^
Author's Response: Hi there! Sorry, I seem to be unwittingly cryptic in this story. I\'ll answer whatever questions I can. For some reason, I really like the backstory of Erik and Charles as former lovers, and that\'s why Erik in her head sees Charles and says, \"My love, my betrayer.\" I don\'t have a good sense of what happened to them, but obviously they had a falling out, and I think Erik would have trouble understanding why Charles would choose a more high-minded path over their friendship. And by now you probably know that you\'re right, she\'s running because she knows about Erik\'s plans, and that he would stop at nothing to get her now that he knows she can power his machine. She also knows that Wolverine would try to protect her but is powerless against Erik, and doesn\'t want to bring that kind of trouble down on the mansion now that she has befriended the people there. Add in her general \"issues\" with intimacy/emotional connection, and you\'ve got a runner!
