Um, my god. Wow. Just, wow. I loved this whole storyline and your take on it is fabulous - a fantastic look at Rogue and how crushing the whole Death thing was for her. Lovely stuff, as always!

[inathunderstorm]

Thank you!! I feel really bad for Rogue in this 'verse. Poor Rogue. ::sniffles:

And there's just ::something:: between her and Sabretooth that would work! In a really f'ed up way. Hee.

Thank you for reading!!

This is yum. I don't understand everything that's going on in the plot, but the tension between the two is...*shivers*

[inathunderstorm]

Yay! That's a good thing! ::cuddles: Thanks for reading!!

[vikingprincess]

Very powerful, very intense. I'm not a reader of current X-men, so I really sppreciated the background information, as well.

*mourns for Rogue and Gambit who always find some way to fuck things up*

And loved the line about Sabretooth teaching her to purr!

[inathunderstorm]

Oh, good! I was hoping that maybe people might like it even if they're reading the current arc. I'm glad it worked!

And yeah, Rogue and Gambit are so...::shakes head at them:: Admittedly they're not my OTP, but there's something so compelling about how they just...destruct. Gah. ::cuddles them::

Thanks, hee! I sort of love this pairing in this verse because it's so raw. :)

[vikingprincess]

*snuggles Rogue and Gambit to her heart* I love them best. Always.

raw is a good word for it - going to take it any further?

I... am all tingly. You f'ed with my OTP and I'm at your feet for it. There were too many lines that were just poetry, so yeah... fantastic interpretation of _everything_

[inathunderstorm]

Hee! Well, to be fair, Marvel f'ed your OTP and made Remy be all stupid (I'm assuming Rogue/Gambit would be your OTP?). Which is just so Marvel of them--hey, they made MY OTP go 'splodey!--but gives us fic writers things to do, yeah?

::G::

yay! thank you for reading and I'm glad you liked it :)

[luckystar37]

Yeah, no see... they f'ed it up... you f'ed WITH it. Which is fantastic. Playing with something and dancing around it's edges = yay. Taking chances within character = yay. Messing up characters because you're bored and stupid = boo.

You are yays.

And I'm really surprised to see you do this pairing (yes, R/R is my OTP, but any time one of Logan's 'girls' is messed with by Sabertooth I'm all pant,pant, oooh!) and so had to read right quick :)

[xenokattz]

You kick all sorts of ass. That is all. Thank you.

*spends the rest of the day with her tongue out*

[inathunderstorm]

Hee! Am so glad I'm not the only one who digs this pairing :)
