The Wolverine in Marie's room must be the most sweetly emotional scene in the whole Tier-Wolfen story so far!

Glad that you are back to taking your time with these scenes, and giving us the chance to follow Logan's reasonings.

On a grammar level, you might perhaps wish to purchase a load of both definite and indefinite articles (THE meat was dark brown; THE people surrounding him were just people; THE realization made it even harder; even A husband...).

Also, a short look at word order in questions probably couldn't hurt: She had left. (Subject-modal-verb) => Why had she left? (Question word-modal-subject-verb).

Any hint as to when I should go back to reading Tier (just so that the time-line works for the story)?

Author's Response: Thanks for the grammar lecture! :) I swear I\'ll trash my comp soon... as for the Tier, that\'s it. Wolfen kind of took off where it ended. Well tag along with Logan for a while now and see if we can have this mess sorted out with him. If he can\'t solve his problems and save Marie, we return to Marie\'s POV in a third story.

This comes across as appropriately confusing.
Really, but REALLY hope Buddy's going to be okay! ;-)
Does the "she" refer to Buddy? Because that would be the first time Logan is giving the little creature a person's pronoun - would be interesting to see if it supports his being human (as opposed to the wolfish "Easy prey for him. Nothing but a mouthful of fur and bones." of his flashback).

Author's Response: Yeah, it\'s Buddy. The \"she\". Don\'t read too much about it. It\'s getting hard and boring as hell to refer to Buddy just using \"it\". In my own language it\'s easy, but in english... I don\'t know. It just doesn\'t come out sounding right. And don\'t worry. I\'m sure Buddy will be just fine. :)

Oh, the bastard! All my sympathies with Marie - this one guy would so not make my day!

Still like this story very much! Hope your brain remains broken! ;-)

Erm, and:
- "Advice" is uncountable => a piece of advice, if you need a plural
- drink, drank, (had) drunk

Hmm - no really, I can live perfectly with this turn, as long as he doesn't suddenly topple into deep infatuation with the innocent li'l angel. This twist is much more interesting.

Not sure how this bonding thing works, though. Doesn't being in someone else's head mean you can feel everything that they feel, and they can feel all of your sensations? And wouldn't that mean Logan nuzzled his own neck and earlobe, an image my imagination finds a little difficult to cope with?

Author's Response: No. Yes. Yes. NO. Logan won\'t turn to a blubbering emo-boy who\'s pining after Marie. YES. YES. Logan groped Marie, and via her feelings and emotions himself as well. But I try to keep it on a basic level for the sake of the story and my sanity. It\'s too complex system for me to put on a paper.

He hated the fact that he could do it so easily, because Scott was a Boy scout with the capital B, following instructions and plans to a T. Had it been the other way around, him watching over Scott, he’d let the brat suffer awhile before getting in to business."
Great insight on Logan's part there - he is actually learning something about himself; he learns it not only through Marie, but it is something sparked by her - great scope for interesting development here.

"... laughing his ass off."
OMG, so did I, did I ever! That was wonderfully done - no sympathy here for the poor fella, and perfectly in character.Great humour, too.

(And, umm, about to lie... there's two words that look the same
to lie on the bed (past tense: he lay, past perfect: had lain)
to lie => to not speak the truth (past: lied, past perfect: had lied)


Author's Response: Aaargh! I swear I\'ll strangle my comp! For some reason, maybe because every program in this useless piece of sh...*BLEEP*...t is messed up, but the dictionary keeps changing words no matter what I do or what settings I put on! Grr... Thanks. I guess it\'s time to take my comp to the shop and let them do an autopsy on it to see what\'s the problem.

Aw, Buddy's back! (Your Logan muse must be getting seriously pissed of at all this love for li'l fox, but hey! Such is life.)

"... had burned off the wolf in me. Too much freedom, too much power, too many liberties..."

Now THAT is a very interesting thought - might that not happen to other parts of ourselves, too? Parts that would be a greater loss than the bloodthirsty wolf?
I've wondered for some time whether that could happen to whole aspects of society, but I shall resist the urge to delve deep here and bore everyone. For now.

Anyway, so glad to see you back at this story!

Author's Response: So glad to be back writing this story. This among few other WIP\'s of mine has been seriously bugging me and making my life a living hell, just sitting around on my comp and reminding me on daily basis how I should jump back on to the saddle.\r\n\r\n*And I don\'t mind about Buddy. She\'s a nice chick, taking care of Marie and all.*

Umm... minor point: "he waved at her and blinked." Not rather "winked"?

Author's Response: Thanks! Grr... Thought I had all those rooted out already...

"You live only because I died back at the Liberty..."
My, what a line. True. Frank. Logan from a very deep part of his soul, and it carries perfectly.
"You can call from Hell..." - yes, he's a generous guy, with a love strong enough for this world and the next.

It's the kinda love I gave once, to find it wasn't wanted - mere playthings it should have been.
But true, that's neither here nor there.

Love this chapter.

Author's Response: Hated to write this chapter. For some reason it\'s extremely easy for me to get those two to each other\'s throats, and extremely hard, almost impossible to have them making up afterwards. Had to keep them in a tight leash in this one.

Hope your teachers come down with 'flue, bubonic plague and ingrown toenails! I've been PINING for this story to continue!!!

Totally love the dinner scene and the image of the show - can picture it perfectly. Also like the picture of Wolverine you are painting - seems to be more like Comic Wolverine, of the very heavy-built sort.

And it's great how Rogue maintains the light and sassy tone that counteracts the gloomy atmosphere.
Glad you are taking such a measured pace in her getting to know him - the little quirks of his "beet face", how she's slowly getting used to him watching her, the slow discovery of body features (without focusing on the "OMG is he hot part"; thanks a BUNCH for that!).

Love how HE'S so slow, and so completely unused to the idea of team-forming and borthers-in-arms support, and how no-one inside the story or outside it can really gauge him.

Author's Response: lol!! Let\'s come just a life will do the trick, huh? She\'s got a lot of time to \'study\' him, and I don\'t know if you\'re in that situation you finally anyone hot, or if you do it is high up on your priority list. Yeah, I wanted to try my hand at this kind of Logan, the story just kind of developed around it. She\'s sassy because while she was removed from the general public years ago she was never removed from \'humanity\' in the labs-she still had people and converstations, etc. Now she\'s seeing what really being stripped out of the equation is like. Hopefully I can update sooner than later, thank you! :D

Logan is quite sane, I'd say - he has managed to block out almost everything that would make him reflect, but underneath, there must still be an operating mind.
He has made his world simple: "Get rid of Creed". I envy him! ;-)
It's also his first move to initiate a modicum of change in his wqorld, isn't it? And that involves Rogue. Interesting.

Author's Response: Yeah, nothing he has whispered in my ear has hinted that he is insane. But I\'m not ruling anything out. I had no idea he was gonna stab her until he did. I was like \'oh man\'. :O Silly characters.

Loved this. Really.
Now give your foof bunny a good kick up its little furry behind and get back to writing "Putrefaction", would you? Please?
I know you suggested getting a life rather than hanging around waiting for that to continue, but honey, if you could see the one I'm having right now...

Author's Response: I know, I know. But I swear \'Putrefaction\' is cursed. I worked on the next chapter a little bit and I got an email about my history teacher deciding to do a midterm! -.-\' Bit by bit, though, we\'re getting there. Hopefully by the weekend. Hang in there for me. :)
