what an amazing story - i'm so glad that i took the time to read this because it was fantastic! I hope you write more for Ray in the future :)

[trovia]

Thank you so much. :) I'd love to write more about him in the future, though I'm having some trouble figuring out what to write about currently. But, hey - feel free to give me a prompt, or something you've always wanted to read. :)

(also I'm trying out posting on ff.net)

[docrock06]

yay - well, i only have the idea in my head that i'm jotting down thats a solid idea - but anything angsty - hmm, what about the prompt - guarded.

[trovia]

That prompt sorta describes Ray in a nutshell. :D The one of my crossover, anyway. I'll have to think about that for a while. Hmm...

Do you like remixes? Maybe I could write you a remix.

what a lovely concept for a crossover... and a great rewrite for X2.... i never did like how they handled the Phoenix story arch.... very well written!

[trovia]

Thank you so much! You wouldn't believe how long I puzzled over how to rewrite X2 (including a lot of staring at the screen and thinking WTF WHY DID THEY JUST DO THAT!?). :D Fortunately, it worked out quite well in the end I think.

[ayankha]

oh totally! been a while since a last watched ER, so it was good to go down that memory lane too....

This was great! I'm glad you did this.

[trovia]

Thank you! I'm glad that so many people read and liked this.

OMG, this was great! I really hope you'll do more Ray in this universe. Maybe something happens a year later and Ray has to come back and help the X-men with whatever terrible thing is happening? And Neela comes with him because... just because. As an extra doctor or something because things could get ugly. And they totally should!!

Possible prompt: How does Neela react when Ray is called upon to help with another mission - one more dangerous than any he's done before. Will she really be okay with his involvement with the X-Men, or will she ask him to choose: her or them?

*begs*

Thank you! Both for the review and the prompt. :) I would love to write more fic about Ray. I just posted a non-crossover ficlet about him some days ago, and that was a lot of fun too. Not so sure about this particular universe, but your prompt certainly sounds very interesting! (by which I mean, I spent the last half hour phrasing out the fic in my head ;)) I'll see what I can do. There's definitely a story there.

I would love a sequel, esp. one that dealt with all the issues brought up by this one. X3 without the dreadfulness of X3. Please?

[ayankha]

i second this!

[scribble_myname]

Gorgeous, glorious, I can't believe it's over! I have loved this story and I will miss it. Beautiful. Love the denouement and Hank jealous :giggles: and just...everything. I feel for Jean though. :sighs: But all in good time.

[trovia]

Now that LJ is finally back, thank you for all your reviews throughout the fic! I hope we'll meet again. :) It was so much fun writing this. And yeah, the ending for Jean here is certainly a little less abrupt than the movie ending. ;)
