Oh, honey. *deep sigh* I don't know about anyone else, but I love this story. I love the "epicness" of it, the breadth and span, the emotional rollercoaster, the glimpses of a future for Logan and Veronica, with baby, and, as in this chapter, the quiet moments. I adore the calm, loving relationship between Trina and Logan, the subtle, water-under-the-bridge references to their childhood, and the way Trina has matured into a good mother and big sis. It makes me sooo happy!

As ever, I'm in awe of the seemingly effortless way you paint pictures: the clowns "unfolding" from the car; the elephant anxiously braying in its pen; Xavier's delight and trust in his uncle, and Logan's honest enjoyment of his nephew, and, of course, the sunset. I love sunsets, but the sunset over Rome - mmmm, so beautiful.

Of course, no matter how much Logan has grown up, it's really good to know he can still bring it when he needs to, like this: “And that marks the end of round one,” Logan snarks, his lips twisting, eyes glowing with amusement. “I ( ... )

Also - have you considered posting in veronicamarsfic so more people will be able to read it? I think you should.

HAH! That's an awesome typo. I wish I could say it was the best, but I saw one for Dic Recs the other day and considering the slashy subject matter... well, that one was totally made of win. -kiss- Thanks baby!

Hi baby!! -waves like mad, hops into your lap, rests chin in hands- I know you do! You are always and forever the best cheerleader I have! Have I mentioned how gorgeous and wonderful you are today? If not... you are GOREGEOUS and WONDERFUL. NEVER LEAVE ME!! -clings-

The relationship that blossomed between Logan and Trina was so unexpected for me. But the idea of Xavier helped flourish the development of their relationship, and it all sort of went from there. God bless little Xavier. He's been such a calming influence, such in integral part of helping Logan find some balance and stability in family. I love that ( ... )

I'll add my voice to the LOUD chorus begging you to continue. I just reread the story from the beginning. As rindee says, epic!

“Ah, The Best Of.” Logan smirks, leaning back to fold his hands behind his head. “Got a pen?”

HA! So Logan I almost cried. I miss that cocky bastard.

Oh, and Tom? I love how you characterized him because it's true that he's an asshole and, yet, I still really dislike Veronica's behaviour thus far in this story so I can still sympathise with his wrath a little. It's all true to character, painfully so, but it's also painfully selfish. I think if I was Tom I'd snap a little too. Imagining my wife (if I was a guy, heh) telling me she was having my baby but she'd be raising it without me with another guy and expecting me to just say 'swell, have a nice life'? All at once? Wow, he's being really polite despite what an ass he may seem like through Logan and Veronica's eyes. Much as I don't want her separated from her child, much as I love Logan for standing by her despite what she did . . . I think I need a reason to believe Tom doesn't deserve to have a role in his child's life beyond the fact he lashed out here. Surely they ( ... )

You know, you're about the best person on the planet to get feedback from, hon! -grin- Always concise and well thought out, packed with the emotional element from reading. I adore you. -grin- And!! You've been writing lately. If I could get thirty five seconds free to have the pleasure to read, man almighty!

I didn't realize it at the time, how unsympathetic a character in Veronica I was writing. I have my issues with Veronica, it's true. Inadvertently, I guess I loaded them up on her. Because other than making some very bad decisions, I didn't want Veronica to be unsympathetic. One of the very important conversations coming up between Logan and Veronica very shortly here is going to be about Tom. Something you've picked up on and I'm extremely glad for it ( ... )

That could be true, but I think it's more because I have issues with Veronica so whenever I read about her bad behaviour now, I don't really rose-colour-excuse her any more. Death of the author and all that jazz, it's all about the reading now. Heh.

I think it was wise of you to unload any issues you have with Veronica onto her characterisation in this story. It would be impossible to work through those issues if you didn't explore them. Any positive LV outcome will be absolutely well earned and far more fulfilling for me, as a reader, if those issues are explored too. After all, I share them.

I think the fact Veronica came back at all is a sign of growth and I'm not dismissing she's doing it. I am just not as forgiving about her mistakes because I have such a stored bias against her and, canon has shown, she tends to take two steps forward, five steps back. I don't trust growth from Veronica and I realize you're a better author than RT but I can't help the instinct to not give her much credit for the step she takes. Yet.

I always wait until she is tested because that's when she tends to fall back into the cycle. "Oh Logan, I do trust you" Wait for it.... "I can't believe you [insert random accusation], I'll never trust you!" So I do think I'll warm up to her as the story progresses, the past is unveiled and she starts making up for those mistakes. As it is, the mistakes are still large and looming and "irredeemable" to me. Until they are explained, explored etc. I'd hate it if Logan just forgave her and trusted her straight away after she walked out and sent him not a word for years aftewards. It's bad enough he ( ... )
