Thanks so much for posting this, I really loved it!

[kimouski]

Thank you! I'm glad you loved it!

I absolutely enjoyed reading this! Your usage of Logan and Jean's characters are right on the button. I can really see him waiting for her as long as it takes. He's pretty much the one guy who cares for Jean no matter what she goes through. I look forward to any more of your Logan/Jean fics!

[kimouski]

Thank you!

I really think Logan's the only one secure enough in himself to take Jean no matter how she is. I think he's also way more grounded due to his age and life experience, which is why it tickles me that he loves her so much in canon. He's been and done so many things, but all he wants is his Jeannie.

I think it's also pretty telling that he seems to be the only man having these big, romantic Jean experiences since her death. Is Marvel setting something up? Because if they finally put them together in the 616-verse, I'd start buying again.

This is really an excellent fic. You got the characters spot-on (in fact, better than the average Marvel writer) and the pacing of the story was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed how you brought in Rose, Mariko, and Silver Fox.

The idea that Scott/Emma was actually the result of a little... push... by Jean is particularly interesting. If the opportunity presents, you might want to explore that a little further.

[kimouski]

Thank you! But I can't take credit for the push idea. That comes from the Here Comes Tomorrow arc, which I think took place at the end of New X-Men.

Hey, thanks! I don't mind saying it was a bit of a nightmare trying to strike that balance.

I see from your profile you're a Katamari fan? I'm going to self-pimp here and throw this at you because I know how little fic there is for it.

[kimouski]

Yep, that's my story. And thanks!

So, let me get this straight... Logan/Jean, Kingdom Hearts and Katamari Damacy? *high fives*

Oh man, your writing here is so beautiful, I found myself holding my breath at points. And your story itself is lovely as well.

[kimouski]

Thanks! And seeing how this story is quite old, I have to ask: how did you come by it?

[spamdilemma]

Hmm, I had your fic bookmarked on del.icio.us for a while and finally got around to reading it, but I think someone recced it there too? (Haha, sorry, my memory is v. imperfect!)

[kimouski]

Haha, no worries. Thanks for finally reading and leaving a comment!
