My heart breaks for Rogue.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter, but sad that it means this story will be over.

There is a mini epilogue as well - so it won't be quite over :o)

Epilogues are good ... used them myself a couple of times.

Well, the only good thing about this story being finished, is that (hopefully) you'll be posting another one soon. :)

The poor thing. One disappoitnment after another. I understand the need to run and later to help others. How awful to find out that her family has moved. :(

I know, I put her through the wringer a bit in this chapter - poor thing. I feel a bit guilty, actually!

Oh, I loved this. The ache when Logan sees her, and her secret's out. And he leaves to spare her pain. Not sure whether to praise or curse him for that.

And then, because that wasn't poignant enough, you have her return to the childhood home, and her parents have moved away, and she is left behind again. Masterful depiction of her slide into depression, too.

And then, the rescues. I could smell the smoke, and the horror of it all, the senselessness and her physical reaction to finding the bodies etc ... so real. Best I've read.

And I am devestated to learn this is 3/4.

Thank you :o) This was the hardest chapter to write out of all of them, so I'm so glad it worked.

"And he leaves to spare her pain. Not sure whether to praise or curse him for that." That was exactly the reaction I was hoping for, so I did a little dance when I read that! Thank you! - I swear the amount of times in this fic I've want to slap Logan round the head for being so... argh! But then at the same time - he's trying his best... so I could hug him.

Sorry it's only 4 chapters!! It's definitely only a shorter fic. There will be an epilogue as well though, if that helps?! So it's technically 3 out of 4 & 1/2 *g*

Love this once again. Love how Rogue is still separate from Logan but connected all the same. Also, love the way you write Logan, I can literally see him saying these lines. Sad to see this ending but looking forward to whatever is next! Fantastic job!

Long time no story from you heartandcore July 25 2011, 21:42:58 UTC

Oh my, it has been a while and is great that you got back to finishing this.

To tell the truth this is the first Logan and Marie fic I'm reading in a while...maybe a year or two.

Anyway, I applaud your work and your characters. Love the angst and want badly to kick Logan's ass for being such a Drama Queen. Rogue sure should do that. Kick him down the pit and shout: This is Sparta! *smirks*

While reading the story one song came to mind for the sad parts. Maybe is because I love the band, and I was at their concert, maybe because I want to have Dave Grohl's baby or maybe just because their lyrics always go to my heart.
Here it is, I should have known:

Long time no reply from me, either - sorry! My LJ has been broken for about half a week. Sob! I've just renewed my paid account, so I think something must have gone wrong. Ahh well. Seems to be working now.

I love the Foo Fighters, I bet they were amazing in concert, you lucky person! It's a really good song too.

I haven't been reading much fic either. I occasionally read one or too, but only if I know they'll make me laugh. Then I go and write angst. Heh. I wouldn't read what I write!

Love the thought of Rogue going Spartan on Logan's ass, though. I've always wanted to write a really good break up fic, one where Rogue kicks ASS, gets revenge, then tells everyone Logan has a small penis. I'm not even sure why. Must be channelling some Lily Allen *g*

Anyway, the next chapter of this one's proving to be a bit of a bugger, but i hope to have it up sometime this weekend.

Hope things are good with you

:o)
