Reviews by BlueFrog
The day they reach Eden, Laura and Logan find the lookout abandoned. They are alone now, and while Logan has escaped his original fate from X-24 and the Reavers, he must viciously cling to the last threads of his health while taking care of Laura. Meanwhile, fifteen years in the past, Logan finds Rogue after over a decade of absence, while the world around them falls apart. When you’re struggling to stitch together wounds, sometimes the answers for the future lie in the past.

What happened to chapter 9? It was there, and now it's gone. Hope to be able to read/review it soon!

Ah, it happens to all of is, the insane urge to post, post, post!

Lovely chapter, and I'm glad I got to read the final version with the nightmare scene. I noticed in "Logan" when they flipped through the comics and saw Rogue's distinctive hair, it made me so sad! Excellent chapter, I'm thoroughly enjoying this story, and can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response: Aww, shucks. Thank you so much for understanding, and for all the amazing feedback. It\'s really encouraging to receive and keeps me at it! I\'m really happy you\'re enjoying the story so far!!

Such a gut-wrenching chapter. Highs and lows, and hot and cold. Exhilarated by the physicality of their relationship, but deeply disturbed by what the camps showed. Excellent chapter again, looking forward to what's next!

Loved the part about Logan turning on a bit of the old charm for the ladies at the school. Sigh, tough first day of normalcy for both of them, and poor Logan. He's got so much going on, so much to worry about. It's really interesting how Marie is in *his* head, instead of the other way around. It makes me wonder if he actually is losing his mind, or there's something else at play. The "twice" comment, so sad! And I love the last line: "This: his fucking night song." Great line. Excellent chapter, as always, can't wait for a "Then" chapter! :D

Author's Response: Oh my goodness, thank you! I\'m glad there were parts you really like! Your comments are always so kind and encouraging!\r\n

LMAO! Your end notes. Phew. Of course I knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any less brutal. Love, love, love the way this story is written, and I can't wait for part 2.

Holy hell. Holy damn hell. How do you do this? How is this so damned good that I just want to read this over and over again.

I love the hints of jealous/annoying Bobby when Rogue goes to talk to Logan. This is quickly becoming my favorite story ever. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Favorite lines:

"That’s more like it, you stupid fucker, he thought to whatever Logan had been mulling around this room last night."

"'Shit,' Scott said."

Author's Response: Oh, you are way, way too nice! Thank you for the love though. It literally keeps me writing. Happy that you liked those lines. <3 Now, it\'s your turn to update! (Pwetty please?) :D

Ack, poor Logan!

For a minute, i thought about those US weekly magazine covers; "Celebrities! They're just like you! Their dishwashers break! They worry about having "the talk" with their kids!"

But seriously. The descriptions of his pain and state of his body are so tough to read. I have a theory about what this all means, but I'm not quite sure yet, and hence will keep it to myself for now...moving on to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Ha! Thanks for the support, friend! I love your comment about US weekly covers. Half the time I am asking myself: what I can have the characters doing during this conversation? The answer to this one: I know, wash dishes! (Because I was literally washing dishes when I had that thought. Real original over here.) :P

What a treat after such a long day!

This beast warranted several re-reads. Also, hopefully a glass of wine rather than a hot mug of comforting beverage is acceptable :)

Thoughts:
Grumpy Logan makes me smile.
I want to be in Logan's fight club.
I have a sudden desire for a pastrami sandwich.
WTF is up with his shoulder still?
I want some bourbon and pecan pie. Stat. With a helping of some hot Rogan action on the side. Damn. That was hot!

Looking forward to what's next : )

Author's Response: A glass of wine is always acceptable, not matter what! ;) Thanks for all the love.

Goddamn. It started with a bang and ended with a sob. I am still loving this story so much and am sad that it seems to be following the path I think it is.

I want to strangle Logan a bit when he's ignoring the decline in the mutant population, and all the signs of the future as depicted in "Logan" are there... :( still, so much love for the effort and skill involved in writing this amazing story.

Dann. This one hit me hard in the feels and not just because I'm exhausted from traveling. I love, love the description of Logan's environment in this chapter,so much detail, as well as the little hint about Marie recognizing what was happening to him. Also, the part about him cutting himself open to stay awake because he knew he just. Had. To. Keep. Going. Guh. So good.

Always looking forward to what's next as you continue to entertain me while I'm running around the country like a crazy person!! :D

Oh god. So much love for this chapter. The details of Logan and Marie's domesticity is so touching (and hot!), and it's so much like this is a missing chunk of the history between dofp and Logan. Sad that this is going in the direction I think it is, but damn me if I can't wait to read more! This is just such an epic story,

Author's Response: You are way too nice! Thank you so much for the amazing support, buddy. <3

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You tricky minx. Had a feeling. But damn, thank you! I cannot wait to see what happened between now and then. :D

Author's Response: I thought you might like that. <3 I swear to god I wrote that scene with you and @hurstlikeyourmouth in mind. Hope you\'re having a good monday!

Fuck. Fuckity fuck fuck. Hell. Shitfire. This was so goddamn good. This is only one of two stories on this site that has ever made me cry, and you got me. Right in the goddamn feels.

Favorite line, "“I love you, kid. You hear me? I love you. Always fucking have,” he murmured over her. He kissed her forehead fiercely, and then he was staggering backward, out of their room and out of the life they had created for themselves as if it were only full of dead things, all those forlorn birds and sad books carefully crafted from paper, waving their soft goodbyes."

So much damn emotional goodness in this, I absolutely love it. And Marie's realization at the end was absolutely gutting (but in a good way). I just wonder what she's in store for now... :/ Always looking forward to your next bit of brilliance

Author's Response: Ack! Thanks so much, bub. I\'m sorry to have made you cry, but I hope it was that sort of feel-good crying. Lolz. I\'m glad you like the scene with Marie at the end; I was pretty nervous about ending it that way and I\'m glad it worked for ya. We\'ll find out what happened to her, as she\'s sure as hell gonna let everyone know. ;)

Damn. I just love this story so much and am so sad that it's coming to an end.

For this chapter, I loved several things:

1. I *loved* that Laura rescued herself, which is really no surprise given how much I love strong female characters being able to help themselves.

2. I *loved* Logan's reaction to seeing Marie and realizing it was her. Her forcing him to use his senses to recognize her was a great touch.

3. I *loved* the explanation for Logan having Marie in his head. It wasn't what I had expected, which I also love :D

4. I *loved* the exploration of Logan's scars, which was even better than I could have anticipated after your teaser on Tumblr!

5. I *loved* Marie's acceptance of time and aging and Laura.

Author's Response: Oh, you lovely, kind person you. Thank you so much for the specificity of your feedback here. I\'m glad you like these parts, especially about Laura. Strong female characters FTW! :D

Well. Done. You. This was so beautiful. What an incredible ending to an incredible story. Your writing skills are superb and the characters in this felt so real. I can't wait for more from you soon!

Author's Response: Hell, dude. Thanks for all your support and awesome feedback the entire way through. I\'m glad the ending worked for ya- I\'m not always so good at writing endings. They\'re kinda tough. But thank you! Sending you happy vibes all week, buddy. <3

Oh, simply lovely. Well done. It leaves me wanting more, but is a beautiful short piece.

Rogue is sent back in time by a third party who was unaware of Logan's plan.

What a nice bit of Rogue/Logan sexiness! "Rules are made to be broken." :D

Author's Response: Thank you. Logan doesn\'t do rules well.

It wasn't the welcome home she hoped to give him, but it was the welcome home he needed.

Really liked the premise of this, so much seemed to have happened to these two. And what a great way to calm down/comfort Wolverine. Nice job :)

Author's Response: Thank you, this started its life as an fix it of sorts for a few angsty fics I\'ve stumbled on to. Many of the things implied to have happened, are inspired from of of the angsty things that have happened in stories on the archive.

This is adorable! I love your inspiration for this :D

Logan has as good and stable a life as someone like him could ask for, and far better than he deserves. He's lived in the mansion for five years and is coming around to the idea of calling himself an X-man.

But there are blurry spots in his memory, more recent than those related to his adamantium claws. He keeps having dreams about a girl nobody else at the school remembers. Sometimes he gets the feeling that she's in danger; sometimes it's the feeling that they all might be.

Damn. This is amazing. Love the description of his senses in the cage, and the fight. Chilling way to end that first chapter, with Rogue not having a face. Love that Logan still knows she's imporrant, even though he doesn't remember all if her. Cant wait to see where this goes!

Author's Response: I\'m glad the cage scene came off well; I wanted it to start strong. Happy you enjoyed it!

Favorite line: "The members of the junior team were improving. Most of them. Especially Jubilee and Bobby, the first of whom he liked in spite of himself and the second he didn’t, for no reason he could put his finger on."

I can always get behind a little Bobby bashing, and in this case it makes up for the Jean/Logan togetherness ;)

Author's Response: Aww!! That is my favorite too!

Reviewer: BlueFrog Signed
Date: 02/04/2018 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Damn! This is just so intriguing. Loving the back and forth between the two times. Cant wait for what's next!

Author's Response: Thank you!!! I\'m thinking of alternating chapters now, with the timelines, to look at both more in-depth.

Logan is leaving.

Aghhh. This is great! Love this line:

He scoffed and then grinned a feral grin that sent fire through every nerve ending in her body. “Then all you had to say was “harder” darlin’,”

Hope you continue!
