I've been a Logan/Marie writer for nearly five years now; I stumbled onto the original archive and spent way too many hours reading and following the wonderful stories there. I just wanted to share what I'd written with the great authors I'd read. I've had some great help from those who've read them and some pointers in the direction of the characters and their motivations. Hopefully here I'll be able to supply more to keep others reading and creating, just as you've all inspired me, thanks Jo.

Loved every moment of this little series, you really did a wonderful job here honey.
Thanks for sharing it with us!

The X-team play a little truth or dare - with some rather startlin' results.
Notes: I don't recommend doing half the things in this story - any injuries resulting from doing so are your own! Thanks to my muse for the help on most of the stuff in here.

Absolutely brilliant!
I love the way you've turned the mansion into the prison I sometimes think it is and sex between those two will always be difficult I think. You've really tackled this well and I'm looking forward to the rest of them!

Author's Response: I\'m flattered. I myself have enjoyed great deal of your \"I never wanted this for you...\"

Lovely stuff, I've been on the recieving on of Freud myself more than once and it's always *very* interesting. Thanks for this, Jo.

Author's Response: Thanks! Aw, I\'m sorry big bad Freud has been picking on you. He is such a bad man some times, especially for being a dead guy.

Loved it, the simple way confusion and pain can blind even the most faithful of people. It leaves me with an image that'll be hard to shake, Logan cold, alone distant and removed from living. Only ever awake when he's killing, a sad end for someone who loved with all he was, yet who said life was all roses and sunshine?

That was beautiful, thanks for doing just one more. It's made my day.

Author's Response: Logie didn\'t give me much of a choice over the matter. Either I wrote this, or he would go on strike. I\'m glad you liked this. :)

Logan left the mansion and Marie just after Alcatraz. Marie had done the same and it had been nearly a year since she'd seen Logan or the Mansion. Something terrible happens to Rogue that sends both Logan and Marie on an emotional and dramatic rollercoaster. Please R&R.

Wonderful emotion there honey, having known a bit about what your writing about you seem to have captured the feelings bang on.
Well done honey, I just hope the ride out to recovery is going to be better for her than the experience. Logan better hold onto his 'truth' for her cos no doubt it'll be hard.
Thanks again hon for sharing this one.

SO much to say in such a small space....

First, the characters I love Logan as the security guard, he's just so easy to picture like this. A caring gentle man, a person who has his secrets but does what he believes is the best thing for everyone (including the kid who needed shelter and food)
Also the way you gave them a break between meeting again, Marie all 'settled' when she really wasn't. The way she's found out that the leader of the so called sainted 'X-Men' isn't good. 'Collateral damage' is a phrase I've hated ever since the Falklands War, my brother just missed being sent there, he went to Northern Ireland instead, no better but at least his body would have been closer to bury.

You've really got me hooked with this, I hope you'll carry on and get some payback for Kitty and her baby.

Second, the development of Xavier's little world, has anyone else ever spoken out against him? *Have* people disappeared and Logan knows about it? What does he have to do with Xavier and everyone else there, do they know about him?

Thanks for sharing this and can we have a new update soon?

Author's Response: Logan\'s a cop, not security. Easy to get those two mixed up in this one. Should have make it clearer in the beginning. :) Don\'t know if Logan knows anything yet. I\'ll be updating this as soon as I have something written. Thanks for the fb! :)

Bobby is compassion, Logan is strength. Which one should Rogue choose...or neither?

Wonderful take on Beauty and The Beast honey, loved the simple love that oozed from the page, the need, the want, the response of a girl/woman just on the edge of giving everything but if she did she'd kill the one thing she loves with all her heart.
Beautiful, just beautiful.

Wonderful honey! I really appreciate the storyline here, 'real life' and what it gets you. It *can* be just as dramatic as saving the world....
But then is't 'mother' the name of god for every child? An if you had the chance to have Logan as the father of *your* kids?
*Grin*, Heaven wouldn't be in it! Great work hon, looking forward to more!

No right?!
No right to judge? Geez....if I were her I'd have swung a left by now. I mean a *man* tells you what's going on with him, he doesn't avoid you.
He is what he is I understand that but geez....is being honest so hard for him?
I just hope Marie doesn't lose her own sense of self in all this.

Come on Logan, get those protective muscles movin! She's gonna need ya!

Great work honey, you've got me followin ya!

Author's Response: Marie isn\'t an angel either. Okay, Bobby betrayed her by not telling that he was gay. she betrayed Bobby by sleeping with Logan.

Oh Man this was *GREAT*! I can just see this going on, Logan the badass intimidated by a *stuffed* version of his animal side! Hell if she couldn't have the real one a woman will go for the next best thing.....LOL!!!

Wonderful work hon, congratulations it's going on the favourites list!

Author's Response: Yay! *does happy dance* Logan may be a badass, but so is the little stuffed guy! Thanks for the love. :D <3

Thank you for a wonderful fic about the 'man' Logan needed to be away from everything and everyone else's 'needs'. Too often do we get the 'Hero' and not the 'Man', well done and thank you so much for this fic.
I loved Marie in this, even down to the 'get-it' moment in the library (I've done this too, so she's not alone). Thanks again, Jo.

Nice handling of a very dificult situation honey, to see Logan as an abuser, that love can blind you even when you *know* that your better off away from him.
Seen it myself too many times not to recognise the patterns, not me thankfully but too many others including men friends.

Well done hon, have a *HUG* ;o)!
