Squee! *Flaps arms and runs like a Fraggle* You wrote a sequel! A sequel to one of my favorite stories ever!
This was beautifully written. It was not at all what I expected, but that's a good thing! And like all good sequels, it's based on the original story, but is distinct and can stand all on its own.
The goodbye scene was touching, and the part where Marie teases Logan is cute. I like how Marie still wanted to be independent and have time away from Logan even after the accident; it was the opposite of what I expected her to do in the sequel.
And thank you for the happy ending! :)
By the way, you have it wrong; you're the one who puts up with me! :D
This is the first sequel I've ever written, so I'm glad to hear it can stand on its own.
You make it sound like I have a plan when I write. :) I really just wanted to play off the opening in the first story; with Rogue wanting to follow through with something even when Logan had misgivings about it.
I couldn't go down in history as having killed Rogue twice.
I am curious about this line: "She blinked at him, her confusion plan to see. Logan inwardly cursed himself. He had hoped to convey all his love through the connection, but he failed her, if her face was anything to go by."
What was she confused about? I'm sure I'll smack myself on the forehead once you explain it, lol.
By the way, the part where he touches her scars was very sweet. And the part where they start touchin' and smoochin' was very sexy--so much sensuality in so few words!
I may chicken out when I finish my story and do what you have done here - imply sexytimes without actually writing detailed sexytimes. It's coming down to it and I'm nervous about what I'm going to write!!
With the line about Rogue being confused, it was more about that Logan couldn't tell her how he felt. He was hoping that through her mutation Rogue would pick up on his feelings and he thinks it was all muddled. I wish I could have convey it better; that Rogue wasn't confused about Logan's feelings, but confused about her own feelings.
*blushes* Thanks. I often like to go with the implied sexytimes, because it becomes difficult for me to make all the action go smoothly.
It might be easier to write implied on your first fic and then as you become more confident with your fic writing it will flow more naturally.
After all this time the implied sexytimes flows more naturally for me. The other day I took a break from Rogue dying and ended up writing 3K plus words of PWP to make up it.
Ahh, I get it now. It makes sense! It's funny, but when I read stories like this where the characters have mixed feelings about the other even though you know they belong together, it takes longer for me to wrap my head around it, because I've never had a relationship like that.
I don't know what I'm going to do yet with my story, but I think as I start writing, the characters will tell me what they want to do. I find that if I stop trying to fight it, the story flows as it should. In my limited experience that's how it seems, anyways.
Oh, and what's this about a 3K PWP???? You are a writing machine! I feel like a slacker! :)
This is one of those times when I go from A to B and hope that everyone can follow along.
The characters do dictate the flow and if I try to wedge something in they don't like they will up and quit talking to me. :)
I'll send it your way in a little. I don't know if I'm a writing machine. I started it a couple of years ago and then the other day opened it back up polished it, added 1K scene. IDK I'm not good at PWP.
