Wow. I'm lost for words, in a good way. I think this is possibly one of the most "realistic" Rogan fics I've ever read set in the XMMVerse. I agree completely that as much as I would love to see Logan and Marie ride off into the sunset, settle down in a little house with a white picket fence and produce a herd of mini-Wolvies, I don't think it would or could ever happen; there are too many "abnormal" factors in their relationship to allow for such an idealised ending. Don't get me wrong, I ADORE a good happy ending fic, but this trilogy had everything that I could see happening between them: Logan's hot, heavy possessiveness, (Very, very hot BTW!) Marie's weird teenager/ancient soul insecurity and the complete unwillingness by he rest of the X-Men to accept a relationship that they cannot ever understand. Well done for making me squee, cry and HURT for Logan and Marie. I can't wait to read more of your stories. (Apropos of nothing else, as an Englishwoman, I love seeing the word arse in fics, I kind of associate ass with Donkey... just a small thing, but it made me happy!) It's fic like this, and the huge amount of fabulous stories on this and other sites, that make me unwilling to try writing stuff myself. I shall just stick with reading other people's stories! Well done again.

Author's Response: yay for realism, and yep, i love happy ending fics too, i mean, who wants to see logan cry ... but everynow and then you need a bit of angst to get those stored tears flowing. so i\'m glad i made you cry - in a good catharsis kind of way. plus i just couldn\'t do it, this story came out fully formed with this ending, and it seemed so perfect, so rational, that i couldn\'t see anything else happening.\r\n\r\nand you\'re welcome for the logan hotness - it was a pleasure to write. a pleasure - *clears throat* I wonder what a head doctor would say about me?\r\n\r\ndid you see the x-men as not understanding them or as understanding it too well? I was hoping that i wrote it in a way that made people, albeit reluctantly, realise that Scott and the X-men were kind of right. But also that Logan and Rogue\'s situation is a little special. that no one is fully wrong or fully right in this fic. did that not come across so well? *frets*\r\n\r\nahhh the \'arse.\' yep, i see donkeys too ... well, actually i see brad pitt saying ass in an american accent. just sounds too funny for me, in the same way i can\'t even think the word \'lady\' without imagining it they way the say it in little britain. i had a long debate with myself over whether to go ass or arse. finally decided that i would write as a brit but the characters would talk as americans.\r\n\r\nand NO!!!! we need more Roganers! there really arn\'t a lot of us out there, come join us and write a story ... we have Logan covered in nachos and we\'re willing to share.\r\n\r\nThanks for your lovely review, really put a smile on my face :) There, an emoticon to show it. \r\n\r\n
