Hi. I'm a Tennessee native. Huge fan of the movies. I haven't picked up a comic book in years, not since the late 1990's anyway. But once upon a time I was a massive fan of the X-men comics as well. Right, well that's enough about me....
 
Reviews by MandaEvelyn
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.

Hi. Loved how Logan switched from flirtatious to concerned back to flirtatious so fast. **grins** What a guy. These two play off each other perfectly. :D

But seriously, when will you post my next fix **ahem** I mean chapter. :D

Hey. It's great to see you back. :D

I loved this chapter. It was interesting to see Kitty so intemidated by Rogue. Loved that.

I also loved the scene where Rogue told Logan that she wanted to get close to him. Very intense! Very hot.

And the whole, “Frankly, I think that look is pretty appealing,” statement was perfect. :D

For some strange reason everytime I read your Rogue, I tend to picture Angelina Jolie. The way you write Rogue, it just seems to fit. Ms. Jolie always plays a very strong female lead who takes no crap....yeah it's crazy I know...just thought I'd share that.

Anyway, I loved this chapter. More please. Soon?! Real life permitting of course.

Author's Response: Thank you; although I have to admit, I never pictured Angelina Jolie. Then again, I kind of consider Jolie\'s looks to be \'too perfect\', as it were, which is a quality I find difficult to explain to people. I picture my Rogue much leaner, almost wiry, and perhaps a bit more like Clarice Starling, from the original \"Silence of the Lambs\" movie, albeit with more feline quality about the lines of her nose.

Classic girl meets boy. Mostly movieverse, but some things have switched around a little.
R to NC-17 (eventually!)
Mostly Marie POV, but with some snippets of Logan along the way.

Whew! Is is hot in here? :D Logan and Marie had some seriously good chemistry going in this chapter. Wow....

I was so glad to see an update of this story. It's been a while. Please have a heart and don't keep us waiting for chapter three! I can't wait to see where you go with this story. I've read most of the one's you've got posted here at WRFA, and I think that this is possibly your best yet.

I'm looking forward to seeing how long it takes for L&M to meet again. And when are the X-Men going to come into the picture?

'They took a school van with them, the drive only lasting eight hours. They never made it.'

Ok. Totally forgot about the problems going on. Got too excited about finishing chapter 18. But at least I now know how I am going to end this!!!

Wow. That was incredible chapter. Very intense. Bravo.

I'm curious as to when Logan will come into play. Soon? I he one of the reasons behind Jean and Scott calling it quits?

You should be warned - I have massive Jean issues and do not like her. At all. Not even a little bit. :D

One last question: is this going to be a Rogue/Logan ship? Please. Pretty please.

Author's Response: Thank you! Well, Logan will come in soon, but I\'m not sure when. It will eventually be L/R. Of course it will be L/R! I can\'t picture her with anyone else! Can\'t stand Jean, either. But, no, Logan will have nothing to do with it just because the thought of L/J anything makes me sick!!!!

Reviewer: MandaEvelyn Signed star star star star star
Date: 03/13/2009 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Wow.

Now that was intense. Really good but seriously intense. :D Bravo! Encore.

I don't know if it's because the Rogue in this fic is older and literally been through the ringer or what, but the chemistry between R/L in this chapter is INCREDIBLE!! Again wow! I'm totally blown away.

I can't wait to see where you go after this. Logan'll find out soon about Jean being a cheatin' ho and Marie's captivity...will he come crawling? You know what they say, "a little humility is good for the soul." **insert evil grin**

.....And about Rogue and Scott, you're handling their friendship beautifuly. I'm looking forward to Logan and Scott meeting up. That should be interesting.....

All in all, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is your best chapter yet. Bravo.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!!!! I was actually a little worried because I went a totally different way then what I usually do when Logan and Rogue fight. I usually like to hurry up and get them back together, but I do find that I am enjoying this. It might go on for a few chapters. Thanks again!

NOOO! You don't gotta do it!

Why, why would you do that?! Perfect Princess Jean is a no good, lying, cheating, hoity toity yankee bitch! I am beging you - please don't do the J/L thing. Please say it ain't so!

How could he possibly consider Jean after she had his cell phone number and didn't call him to tell him about Rogue? And then the affair... it's not right....please reconsider.

Okay. That was my attempt at an impassioned plea. But the real question is did it work?

Oh, and just in case you are from up north....really sorry about the whole using the word "yankee" as an insult thing. I'm Southern - from Tennessee, and it just sort of slipped out. Sorry. Knee-jerk reaction ***Insert charmingly abashed smile intended to incite immediate forgiveness*** Plus it was totally aimed at the ho (Jean).

Logan's got to come to his scenses soon right. He'll see that R and S are only friends and that Jean's the real villian of the piece, right?

Okay, I'm calm - just tell me that the J/L thing'll be over quick. Still, it's gross. That's all I'm saying.

And will Rogue be able to forgive him for sleeping with Jean? Cause that's just gotta squeak her out too.

Oh, and good chapter btw. :D Forgot to mention that earlier. Oops.

Author's Response: Wow!!!! I knew some people weren\'t going to be too happy when I mentioned the whole J/L thing, but, wow. First, I take no offense at all to the whole \"yankee\" thing. I\'m from Southern Nevada, myself, so I\'m not even sure if that pertains to me. Would it??? ANYWAY. I know, I know. It makes me sick to just even think about it. I\'m probably going to be losing my lunch the entire time I am trying to write it, but I think it will set up an intresting twist to the whole thing if I can get it right. It\'s still in the works, though. Who knows, I might end up scrapping the whole thing if I\'m not happy with it. Thank\'s so much for the feed back on this chapter, though. I wasn\'t sure about it, but I want to get this story moving as quickly as possible.

This is an interesting twist. I think that this exactly what Rogue needs at this point in the story.

She's been locked up for years, first due to an isolating mutation and then in a lab. At the mansion she's forced to interact with too many people. At least "out there in the real world" she can choose whether or not she wants to interact. Ever heard that saying about being alone in a crowd? Anyway....

I'm loving this new twist. I can't wait to see where you decide to take the story after this.

Oh, and thanks for not doing that whole Logan/Jean thing. Yuck!

Life changes when Logan comes home.

You did a great job with this story. The song you chose really fit Logan and Rogue perfectly. :D

Bravo!!

It's ten years after the cure, and Rogue's fiance wants nothing to do with a woman who might have mutant children. Logan steps in to offer her a last chance at the life she always wanted.

Hi. Just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying this story, and that I'm loving Gauntet too of course. :D

But, I am wondering if Rogue will get her powers back in this fic. Maybe it's just me, but it's always kind of weird to read a "Rogue's peramently cured fic." Anyway. I loved chapter seven. And I gotta agree with Logan - he is already kind of whipped. :D I LOVE that. LOL. Brilliant.

Rogue and the Beta team plan a tactical strike to take down the enemy.

P.S. Rogue can control her powers in this AU.

Okay. I know that I said in my last review that there was no way you could top the previous chapter.....I was so wrong. This was a fantastic chapter and man would I love to see a sequel...you know the alpha's response. Heh....now that would be funny. :D

Author's Response: i think Beta would still win, they are combined force for exponential evil whereas the senior x-men have only Logan\'s deviousness to rely on.

It’s funny how your life can change in the blink of an eye. One moment it can be everything you wanted it to be and then it can be a nightmare from hell. Tolerance...there is no tolerance!

I love your story so far. Very original. :D Things were going so good for Rogue in this chapter and then...WHAM!

Can't poor Rogue catch a break?! It's heart breaking really, how screwed up things are for her in this fic. I can't deny that it makes for a good read though. But still, I'm a happily ever kind of girl...hint, hint.

I've always been a huge fan of the underdog, so I'm hoping that things are going to get better for Rogue soon in this fic. They will, right?

Oh, and don't be ashamed about having Jean issues. I've got some pretty major Jean issues myself! Comic Books, cartoons or movies - just never liked her. Not at all.

Rogue and Wolvie though are two of my all-time favorite characters. SO please hurry up get them together! I'm begging you. :D

Author's Response: Thank you sooo much for the great review!! I\'m glad you are enjoying the story. I hate to be so hard on Rogue but it will make it worth it in the end. I am also a happily ever after girl, but Logan\'s gotta get his act together and it\'s going to be hard after what he just did. As for Jean....I hated the witch the first time she walked into Xavier\'s office in X-men 1! As for Rogue and Wolverine...they are such a great fit. I think my husband gets tired of me when I go on one of my rants about how perfect they are together..LOL! I just don\'t get why the writers of the X-Men movies don\'t see what we see! I guess we are smarter!

You hope that you did a DR scene gone wrong justice. Ha! You totally blew this one out of the water. I've got to say that this was your best chapter yet. Bravo!!

The interaction between Rogue and Logan was beautifully done. Very sweet. And the "death scene" was just perfect. Really tugged on the heart strings.

I'm glad that Jubes is stepping up and turning into a friend for Marie. :D I always did like her!

I'm really curious to see if the rest of the X-geeks will accept our girl now. And the mysterious mission that the professor, Logan, and the **ahem** person went on. Did the prof set Jean straight?

But I gotta say, I still think that you should kill Jean. She just needs killin'. Heck she's practically begging for it. Please. Pretty please with a cherry on top. Just think about okay. Please?!

Author's Response: Thanks sooo much!! Glad I did it justice. As for killing Jean...I haven\'t decided. I guess you will just have to read on and see!!!!

Can I just say that I'm really loving this story. It's so wonderfuly original and unpredictable! Bravo. I love that Marie is heartbroken at being used and takenadvantage of and discarded by Logan, but strong enough to do what she has to do to get by. Nicely played.

Also - I love the song you mentioned at the beginning of this chapter. Fallen is one of my favs. Good choice on your part. It really fits into the mood of this story and especially this chapter.

Update soon. I'm addicted. More please.

Ugh, hi. Just finsihed rereading this completely awesome fic. Is there any chance that you might consider updating it soon? Please.

Author's Response: It\'s not a question of considering an update...it\'s about prying the words out of my muse\'s tightly clenched lips. I want very badly to update this, and there are parts of several versions of Chapter 4 scattered across my computer even as we speak, but I have yet to decide how best to proceed from where I left off at the end of Chapter 3. It will come to me, I promise. Hopefully, in the very near future. If it\'s any consolation, I had an epiphany the other day on how to finally end another story that has been in the works for over a year and a half. Perhaps inspiration for this story isn\'t far behind... --Wendie

"Remy don’t want what happen to Jean to happen to Rogue.”

Can I just say that I'm really loving Remy for being so concerned about Rogue in this chapter. A few chapters ago you made it seem like Logan forced Rogue to absorb the Red Menace, so it's his own fault. Is he feeling a little guilty now and wondering if maybe he's sort of doomed Rogue to repeat Jean's meltdown?

Something else I've been wondering...if Rogue was drunk when she slept with Logan, was it truely her in control or was Jean. Betcha Logan is now wondering the same thing. Hate to say it, but right now I'm kinda liking Remy just a smidge more. I know, I know, I can't believe I said that either. :D

Loving your story. Great job. Can't wait to read more!!
