Oh, the yearning for the thing you're afraid to admit to out loud; to the person you want so much to want you back...it does make you tired, hopeless. Glad this road trip can continue on a happier note. And, with thanks to Hank and his magic ring.

This has always been one of my all-time favorites. So sad; so tragic; and yet a realistic look at in coping with grief and loss. This is so well-written with its short vignettes of emotionally-charged dialog...the girl...and the ghost...and one damask rose...

The curse of his healing factor...his lovers age - and eventually die; he doesn't - and time stretches on unrelenting. In this beautiful story, he always comes back to her, even though the sight of him reminds her of her frailty. There are other good stories from his point of view on this sad fact of their existence.

Aw...this was going so well until that OOC "Boy from Oz" reference. So NOT Logan!

Nice little interlude here as well as a brief study on the sense of smell! Lovely!

Damn me for getting involved in yet another **bleeping** WIP that hasn't been updated in a couple of years and probably never will be finished!

Be ye warned, readers!!

Agree with ct xfan ... Marie has Logan in her head and knows how sick and twisted Mystique is to do something like this to him...even at the cost of her own life.

This is a powerful glimpse into Logan's constant inner pain and frustration, and doesn't really need to be spun out into a longer story. Marie is so brave here, and takes away an intimate look into Logan's true nature along with that little bit of his healing factor. I've enjoyed this story for a long time. My bad for not leaving a review before now.

Tease...Tease? You're the tease, Bailey! Terrific fic!

Very nice treatment of the whole Logan-Jean-Marie issue...

This is a fantastically imaginative, exciting, and character-driven story, nearly ruined by some occasionally awkward writing, poor grammar in spots - especially with proper usage of verbs and tenses- sometimes misleading use of pronouns, and the usual confusion in the correct use of contractions so many writers are guilty of -- your, you're, their, they're, there, etc. The nagging mistakes which continuously litter the text throughout detract from even a terrific story like this one, especially when one is gobbling it up like a starving person. I really loved the characters and the action, but too often was brought to a screeching halt with every technical glitch or awkward construction encountered. It is too good a story not to have another serious beta read and just a little judicious editing to really tighten it up. For all my criticism, however, I congratulate you on a wonderful story!

Such good writing for a tough topic...admitting to himself that he really is in love; getting her to believe it. All the characters so well-written.

This is a different take on how Logan's regenerative powers affected Marie. We usually just read about his saving her life and his psyche running around in her head; we don't usually think about the other little scars that are identifying marks and souvenirs of her past life going away, too. Interesting piece.
