The Wolverine & Rogue Fanfiction Archive
Barely Legal Since 2000
Really great story, lots of interesting stuff happening! You've gone from a wonderfully light-hearted playful start to all this plot and new characters, it's great! Love it :)
Great writing style too.
I look forward to more!
Author's Response: Thank you!! Glad you liked, and especially glad you think the plot thing is working so far. I don\'t normally do plot...so I was a bit worried!\r\n\r\nNext part will be up later today :)
really liked this.
Mystique tricking Marie was great!
and the way you/Logan explained how he switched from wanting Jean to wanting Marie after Mystique made him see the possibility was quite believable.
that was hot!
the urgency was palpable, and somehow seemed more realistic than dragged out fluff.
This story is So fun!
I thought I'd submitted a review before but apparently not... must have just thought it ;)
Really enjoying the teasing in this one :D
seems like nobody reviewed this particular chapter so thought I would..
i liked it, it came across as genuine and realistic; that she'd agreed to the marriage without thinking through the consequences for him and now she's realised what his future might hold she feels guilty but wants it anyway.
Poor Logan, Marie's over played naivety is sooo cruel, and no butterflies! Sob.
At least this time she conceded it was 'nice'. Good job on asking her to go off and think on them being together and work up them butterflies, ha ha.
I don't think she's going to be too happy about him going to finish himself off on some willing woman though. Can't wait to hear what she has to say about that!
Oh, and I loved your opening line..
"Yelped? The Wolverine did not yelp. But nonetheless, his voice was high and sharp." lol.
Good chapter, if short.
I liked how you made Rogue own up to not being as naive as she's pretending, and how Logan didn't cheat on her through circumstances beyond his control, as opposed to because he wouldn't have. Nice one.
Also loved her little chat with Jubilee, and her obvious suggestion.. “Close your eyes and pretend he’s somebody else,”
The Cosmo suggestion was also very ingenious, would love to read the result of her quizzes and what other articles she reads.. that would be fun!
Oh, that was fun! Thank you thank you :)
I also like how you built in him realising that she might have been hurt if he had found a willing woman.
and my guess for answer D is...
he'd wanna go again! ha ha
Brilliant!
This 'short' chapter went from light hearted to hot in a matter of seconds.
Very cool ;)
Finally she melts!
Great scene :)
I bet now she's going to be thinking about them together every day for the whole 6wks! ha ha
I kinda hope when they finally get down to it he plays the tease for a change so that she's the one needing the cold showers ;)
Aw, that was such a nice chapter, very sweet!
I like how you've taken the time to take them ring shopping and have them talk about what the marriage means to them.
Your story is developing really well :)
Sweet sweet sweet :) Aw.
Fun out-take, can't believe how long this ring buying is taking though, at this pace we may never get to the actual wedding and aftermath! ha ha
fun new chapter, nice to have them getting a little more steamy towards each other. Great little touch there with Jubes walking in and causing Logan to scratch up his own car.. I mean, Scott's car... ha ha, wonder what Scott will have to say about that!
This was good fun if a little lengthy on the descriptions for my taste. Worked well for me on the flashbacks and scene setting but a bit too much detail later on every single candle she put out and piece of garment she laundered.
Having said that, it does show off your writing / descriptive abilities amazingly. Can't help being impressed at the level of detail and the amount of time you devote to it without getting carried away by the plot. I can see you becoming a paid writer one day!
I really liked the park swing scene, both the dialogue and the little things like her shuffling back away from him and then him stepping back to let her relax. Little tensions like that are just priceless.
I do hope you're going to do a follow up to this.. it's no fun her having gone to all that trouble if we don't see Wolvie's reaction and what he does about it! As with Rogue at the end.. "she couldn't wait to see what happened next."
Author's Response: Wow August Thank you, that was the sweetest review you\'ve ever left me. Very endearing and I greatly appreciate the praise, that part about me being a paid writer didn\'t hurt either ; )\r\n\r\nI\'m working on trying to come up with ideas worthy of Logan when it comes to extracting revenge. I really appreciate your positive feedback though I am planing on writing a companion piece I just don\'t know when the inspiration\'s going to strike
Really liked this one, and your depiction of Logan as being all sensory, distant, just seeking some calm. The way he and Rogue meet and their relationship evolves was great.
Also liked how your Logan isn't perfect and he did do some bad things in the past, and that Rogue gets to see it.
I struggled with the bit about Logan's leg being mangled and then not healing correctly so he's left crippled, because if his healing was limited to only his skin patching up then he would always have bits left inside himself, like bullets, splinters, etc, as his skin would just heal over them, which we know is not the case. In the movie they show how his body pushes out the bullet in his forehead before the wound heals over.
However, if anyone can hurt Logan, Magneto can, so I suspended my disbelief and enjoyed the rest of the story ;-)
Wow, that was great and inspired!
Dangerous Liaisons is one of my favourite stories and you did a really fab job with this, assigning each character perfectly and keeping their email tone of voice believable.
I particularly loved Jean's scathy emails, even though in fiction she's not really evil, but we all love a bit of Jean bashing ;)
I loved Logan's line:
"Jesus, Jean, it's just email--you don't have to sound like you're testifying before Congress or nothing."
and Jean's lines to Wolverine:
"My God, I had to check the from line twice to make sure it was still you. "
and
"You actually thought I would take you? You believe I would allow you to treat me as second best?
Don't bother me again.
J "
The ending was even sadder than the original, what with Logan surviving but not seeking out Rogue and getting back together. The choice is sadder than the death in the original!
Really didn't like this one, sorry!
The instant connection / attraction at first sight and Logan being hung up on her thereafter put me off throughout.
I managed to read as far as when she and Scott disappeared and Jean arrived but then gave up.
Aw, that is so sad, but feels so true to form.. Logan plunging ahead with the physical and poor Marie absorbing his thoughts and realising that he's just trying to numb the pain. The fact that she was about to say what Jean had said to him before was just tear-jerking.
The end left plenty of room for a follow-up... ;)
Not a fan of this one, probably because it's too Rogue centric and then she goes off with Bobby in the end (yuk!), but the dialogue with Logan about the X2 events was good.
I liked the start, the way it was ambiguous for a while so we could think it was Logan.
and lots of good lines, e.g.
Logan's dig "Breakin' up the morning after don't count as not cheatin', sweetheart."
and later his reply to her saying that his excuse is wearing thin; "You gonna walk away when I'm tryin'?"
Nice ending, with her shaking him up by making him realise that he's wasting precious time given their lives are way shorter than his.
This was just So sweet!
The introduction given by the guys at the bar worked really well, and I loved Logan and Rogue's talk about how they'd behave if they were in love :)
Oh, the part where Logan questions her "You ever had a man?" and "You do anythin' with him?", that comes across really strong, like he's sizing her up to see how far he can push. Nice.
I did get annoyed at Logan for letting Rogue 'do something for him' though. He shouldn't have, even if she did say she wanted to, but I guess that's his weak/bad side we all love ;)
The end was great, about bein' in love actually bein' about being careful.
Nice one.
Aw, that was so sweet! Particularly since Logan is jumping in head first given that he's not known Marie without her control and it's not going to be all touchy kissy as it was on the weekend ;)
Loved the twist ending with Xavier playing matchmaker, lol.
Was bored, was browsing, came upon your story, really cheered me up! :D
You're definitely funny, you weren't wrong there ;)
".. unless the professor waxes his dome then he hands down wins, that man is sex on wheels. I kind of hope he’s not reading my mind right now. That would make things awkward. "
lol
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, it made me happy. It\'s true though the professor does have and understated sexuality that calls to me. xXx
Ooh, what a start... intriguing cliff hanger! Perhaps a bit long on the Logan introspection but my interest is definitely peaked!
Some great lines:
"The Wolverine, the mutant with a healing factor was addicted to fine brewed coffee, and it was the good stuff, only the best at Xavier’s. He was getting soft."
"He was so fucking domesticated; he was surprised he hadn’t donned one of Scott’s old robes."
