I'm a 30-year-old chick who has loved the partnership of Rogue and Logan since I was a wee whippersnapper. I remember watching the X-Men cartoons late in the afternoon on FOX when I was a kid and thinking how cool they were. Then the movies came out and even though I was marginally outraged at how they portrayed Rogue, I still thought the relationship was good enough to be expounded on.

I cannot express how happy I was years ago after stumbling upon WRFA. I've been hooked to the fiction ever since.
 
Reviews by Alana
Rogue and Logan haven't met, but Rogue knows a lot about Logan, mostly because of a run-in with Nick Fury. Chaos, despair, and memories follow.
Mostly AU, with various comicverse elements and a hint of X1 eventually.

I love this story. I really do. You write sexual tension extremely well, my dear. I had to favorite moments in this chapter. 1: Logan noticing Rogue's teeth. Not in an observatory kind of way, but in the way that he can't help but look at her mouth and as a result noticed her teeth. Very cool. 2: Remy walking in and both of them knowing he was going to, but doing nothing to hide what they're feeling. Wonderful storytelling. I greatly anticipate your next update.

Jeepers. That was hot. Loved the little talk between Logan and Scott as well. It's always nice to hear Logan explain to someone, and be in no way ashamed, exactly what he is...and in this particular case, what Rogue is as well. Very well done. Can't wait for more.

A lovely bit of smut tidied in between two pieces of plot. Marvelously done! My favorite part of this chapter has to be the moment where Logan pulls Rogue into his lap, thereby causing her barely restrained squeal. That really made me smile. Marie's still under there. :)

With Rogue captured by The Brotherhood and Logan dead set on getting her back, the two struggle with their respective roles in the coming war between mutants and humanity.

Fourth in the Dark Side of the Moon series. Same premise, different consequences owing to a treatment facility for mutants called Southaven and a focus on the chemistry between Logan and Rogue.

Ah, continuation. There's nothing quite like it in storytelling. A truly wonderful start to another beautiful story. I'm looking forward to the rest more than I can say.

After Rogue's mind is shut down by Xaiver, Logan brings her to the only person he thinks can help her. Wolverine's willing to pay any price to wake her up. But in her mind, Rogue is building a new life for herself, and when Logan sees it, he begins to question his past and his future with Marie.

Another wonderful chapter! You know, Magneto was always one of my favorite characters. Yes he was the bad guy, but he was a bad guy because a lot of terrible things had happened to him. You illustrate that quite well. I'm once again looking forward to your next chapter.

Excellent explanation of what Charles wrought. You actually had be on the edge of my proverbial seat waiting to see exactly what he had done and how Emma was going to resolve the situation. Again, well done. I also greatly enjoyed the image of Rogue embodying everyone she had touched and shouting at every self-righteous soul beneath her feet. Very kickass. I can't wait to see what you have in store for our dynamic duo in the next chapter.

Logan and Rogue negotiate their new-found friendship and more while Rogue hides out at Logan's cabin.

Follow-up to "Money" and part two of the Dark Side of the Moon series. Same premise, different consequences owing to a treatment facility for mutants called Southaven and a focus on the chemistry between Logan and Rogue.

Wonderful to have you back and to see a new chapter. This was great work. I especially enjoyed Logan's pointing out of Rogue's eye color and her answer. I'm sure I've said it before, but you've created quite the set of unique characters here. I know they exist already, but your spin on them is lovely to read. Keep up the great work.

“Superhero...Okay.” She tried to suppress the amusement in her voice, but found that she couldn’t.

Logan snorted. “Oh like you can talk. What kind of a name is ‘Rogue’ anyway?”

“What kind of a name is Wolverine?”

His head snapped around so he could glare at her, but he couldn’t help the faint smirk that tugged at the corner of his mouth. “My name’s Logan.”

Rogue hesitated. “I used to be Marie.”

The longer this story has gone on the more I've liked it. The characters have gotten richer, especially Rogue. I like how you've turned her into Rogue; she's not Marie and she's not Yuriko. She's Rogue. Very well done. I look forward to both the completion of this story and Persistence of Memory.

Author's Response: Thank you. I\'m glad I\'ve managed to get Rogue\'s personality across so well. I appreciate the articulate review.

This is an AU about a sweetly clutzy Marie and a less traditional meeting with Logan that was begun by the great jj blazer and then opened up for completion. JJ was kind enough to approve of my completion of her fantastic story and so...here it is.

Jeez. These two can fight with the best of them, can't they? I'm glad Logan gave her a good talking to. All she needs to do now is stop being hardheaded. I think you've done a marvelous job with this story so far! Keep up the great work!

After she thought she lost him, her protector, her savior, it takes more than she can give to help Logan rejoin the human race.

Total AU set in Wyoming. The Mutant Tolerance Act has been passed and mutants are trying to live normal lives. Marie (Rogue) is Scott Summers cousin and is enjoying her normal life. Then she gets involved with her cousin's business partner, Logan. Jubilee, Kitty, Angel, and others will make appearances.

I am really, really liking this AU you've created. It's the perfect environment for Logan, and Marie's character is perfectly uptight enough to make me laugh when Logan pulls his antics. Keep up the great work!

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m so glad you like it! I love making Logan a little bit chauvinistic. I really don\'t think he can be any other way. To me, he\'s a man of action, not a man of words!

Wow. *fans self* Now that was hot. Thank you for not having them sleep together while Marie was snockered. I mean, after all that foreplay she's not THAT drunk, but God knows she doesn't need another excuse to be mad at the poor man. ;) A truly captivating chapter, my dear. Please continue your fabulous work.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I believe even Logan isn\'t that much of a rat that he would take advantage of Marie when she was drunk (not that I think he\'s a rat, I love him!). I\'ve said it before, he\'s a man with animal instincts so he\'s not going to be perfect and he wants Marie badly, so it\'s going to be tough for him to control himself all the time. And here\'s hoping that he never really does because what fun would that be?

You know how I rate a wonderful story? Be it one that's already complete or one in progress, if I get to the end of a chapter and all I'm thinking about are the characters the author has present, that, to me, is a truly wonderful story. That's what you've created here. I made it to the end of this chapter and my only thought was, "She can't leave! She just got there!", and I'm not above admitting that I check this site every day in the hopes that you've updated this story. Thank you so much for sharing and I truly look forward to your next chapter.

Author's Response: Wow! I guess all I can say is thank you! I\'m so glad you look forward to reading this story. It\'s a complete joy for me to write and knowing there are other people looking forward to what I write makes me feel great. I really debated on how soon she should leave but I just couldn\'t see Marie sticking around knowing how embarrassed she was by what had happened. But don\'t worry, they\'ll be seeing each other again very soon! Thank you!!

I find myself far so gleeful at the prospect of Logan swooping in and saving the day that I can't even be angry that the chapter ended in a cliffhanger. Heehee!! Thank you so much for updating. I was driving home from work today thinking about this story, so seeing that there was a new chapter made my day. I'm looking forward to Chapter 11!

Author's Response: Wow! I\'m so glad you like it that much! I really am sorry about the cliffhanger...they irritate the heck out of me most of the time. I tought about finishing this chapter out but then I kept thinking it would be sooo long and I knew it had been too long since I posted the last chapter so that\'s what I ended up with! I hope you\'ll agree that chapter 11 is worth it though! Thanks for reviewing...it puts a big smile on my face every time!

*sigh* That was lovely. I love conniving mothers. I love stubborn women who make their men work for it. I love men who finally have enough and just kiss the girl. And I absolutely love this story.

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m very very happy that you love it!

Written for a Song Fic Challenge. Based on Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now."

I'm not usually a fan of songfics, but being a fan of this particular song I decided to give this story a try. I think you did a wonderful job, especially from Rogue's point of view. When you had her destroy all the things Logan had given here, I got a little choked up. That, to me, is the sign of good writing. If you can get an emotional response from your readers, you've done a good job. Well done.

Once upon a time, there was this really overlong and convoluted AU how-they-met fic. It wasn't finished. Now it is.

So here it is from the beginning.

This is a truly wonderful story you have here. I very much enjoying your AU. It's rare, in my opinion, to pull off an AU well, and you're doing a great job. I really like how you've painted everyone, especially Jean, Scott and Logan's issues. I also thought it was very real that you had the "grownups" figure out relatively quickly what exactly went on with Logan and Marie in the bedroom. That always bothered me in the movie. I'm looking forward to the rest of this story. Keep up the great work!

Author's Response: That\'s part of the fun for me...getting to dig further into stuff I wish someone had fleshed out better. Thank you so much! I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying it!

These poor children have been through far too much crap, and I hate to admit, but it's wonderful watching them dig out of it. I think right now they've found themselves on equal footing and they're not sure how to go about it. I look forward to your next chapter!

Oh, these poor, poor children. This was a beautifully written chapter. I loved that you had Marie be confrontational, but at the same time having no idea what she's doing. Logan struggling with himself and just as unsure. When you put the two of them together they figure it out. Again, exceptionally well done.

Wow. Just when you think it's going to get better for these two, in a quick sort of way, it only gets more complicated and angsty. You know what, though? This way actually makes a lot of sense. The poor kid has spent half her life a parasite and suddenly she finds out she can touch one other human being. You don't just jump on the guy. It scares you to death because in an instant everything is different. Perfectly written. Very well done.

Author's Response: I agree. More complicated, right? Which has nothing to do, of course, with the fact that I like writing the complications. ;) You got exactly where I was going here. Thanks.
