Much thanks to sionnain for the beta. Magneto can come back now. :)

Beautiful. I loved this.

[marastar]

Thank you! That makes me very happy.

Nice... denile and longing. Lovely compliments.

Don't you love challenging yourself? Now I want to try a 500 word dealie... Oh heck, I want to write again.

But in the meantime I'll read :) So thank you for writing... and thanks for writing THIS.

[marastar]

And thank you for the comment and the compliments! I really appreciate it.

That was utterly beautiful. Very intense. I love it to pieces. Now I want to hug you for writing such a wonderful fic. *hugs*

[marastar]

*hugs back*

But I think it's Rogue that really needs a hug. Or a cuddle ... or a really intense kiss from the object of her affection ... ;)

Thank-you so much for your comment!

She wishes sometimes that she could have marked him somehow. He must have so many invisible scars. She'd like one to be hers.

I'm just in love with this sentence. It's a little creepy, but oddly understandable.

Or maybe it's because he's older, and so very beyond her reach. Which, if she's really honest, is likely the most appealing thing of all.
*snerk* I mean, um, NO, I have no idea what she means!

She's not even sure what it will cost her, in the end, to want to put him back together.
Oh dear. I don't envy her that feeling, or that (argueably impossible) task.

Very nice tension and wistfulness. Hmmmm, what about a Logan flip-side view? *chucks bunny and runs*

[marastar]

*gasp*

And now it's in my head! And it's dark and angsty and AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

You ... you ... bunny-throwing sadist, you! *shakes fist*

Crap. Now I have to try and write that damn thing.

It's a little creepy, but oddly understandable.

Oh yes. Definitely creepy. I don't know why, but when I got into what I imagined was in Rogue's head after X1, it just came out that way. I figure she knows that what she wants is so inappropriate anyway -- at least, by society's norms -- that she tends to focus on things that are more primal and somewhat disturbing.

That was what I was going for, anyway. ;)

Then again, the entire W/R relationship is kinda fucked up. They routinely kill/maim each other and save each other.

God, how I love comic-book characters!

Babe, this was AMAZING! So beautifulm and sad and ... ugh.

Speechless.

*blushes*

What a wonderful thing to say. Thank you!
