lol thanks to you I have this strangely adorable image of wolverine trying to blow a bubble and reading celeb rumors.

“Howsabout a rousing rendition of ‘Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall?’”

“Bright Lady preserve me…no.”

“Guess we’ll hafta settle for the in-flight movie, then. Just fer giggles, d’ya want me ta go through the X-ray machine again?”

“You’re incorrigible.”

“Yep. I glow in the dark now, too, after they made me go through the first six times.”

lol I love that... So turning that into an away message (with a link back to you of course!)


Author's Response: BW and i talked about the line about glowing in the dark after the xray machine. I had fun writing that. Glad you enjoyed it, Tiger!

great story! =]

Author's Response: Thank you! I appreciate that.

Yes please! I absolutely loved this fic, cee! I loved the way it tied in with the mariko-logan comic happenings. Thank you for a really great read. I'm moving onto Wounded Animals now.

Author's Response: Glad you got the chance to give it a read; for some reason, I think my previous reply to your review got lost. I'm having trouble formulating plots this week. Too much on my brain, but I have been watching your updates to your Kai series, and anxiously awaiting more of that other story when Ororo springs Logan out of prison. I love that one.

Damn, i didn't even get a chance to review last chapter. Well i like this fast updating though. I love this story, it has some really good moments. Roro kissed Yukio!!! Didn't expect that! I loved teh way Mariko kept pushing Logan towards Ororo, she realised they fit together. Can't wait for the next one!

Author's Response: Ororo and Yukio...kind of an odd "not really a pairing" pairing in this story. I always thought Marvel left their friendship kind of vague and open-ended. Part of why this story is called "Consolation Prizes" is because a) Yukio doesn't want to be Logan's consolation prize for losing Mariko; and b) Ororo feels the same way in regard to making Logan feel better in the wake of being dumped at the altar. And c) less obviously, Yukio wants to win Ororo away from Logan, but she ends up settling for a bittersweet goodbye. Originally, I was going to post this to Aff.net as a threesome fic, but I decided to go a cleaner direction with it, and I like this version better. The scene that made me laugh when I wrote it was that kiss in the hospital room; I'm picturing Logan looking flabbergasted and envious. Thanks for reading. Cee

Whoa, Ro kicks ass! She just had a near death experience and here she is, up and flying again as if nothing happened :D
Loved the bit on the metal detector LOL That's always a great laugh.
I was hoping for a RoLo ending, especially after that nice kiss :) But the way you decided to end this is so full of possibilities, I'm all good ;) Makes it pretty hard to wait for your next installment though, heh. Please hurry :)

Author's Response: I liked the idea of Ororo coming to everyone's rescue. The next installment is going to take loads of research through my back issues and UXN's issue summaries, particularly the Wolverine and Kitty Pryde mini, Lifedeath, and Fall of the Mutants. I don't want the story to end up an unrecognizable mish-mash. Thanks for reading!

Awww, it's over and they're not together. But you'll fix that in your next story, yeah? The one that's gonna come out real soon, right? Anyway, I loved the story regardless, and you are a talented and gifted writer. Keep at it. While you're doing that I'm gonna try to get this darn song outta my head.

.....seventy bottles of beer on the wall.....

Author's Response: Hey, it could be worse, at least it wasn't Britney Spears. Windrider1 had me humming "I am Henry, the Eight I Am" for weeks when I read (and consequently re-read, and re-read again) Bloodbonds!!! You wanna talk about can't get a song out of your head...I had tentatively considered having Logan humming Ororo old Johnny Cash tunes to sooth her claustrophobia on the flight home, but I didn't know the lyrics to any. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Raeyna. And yes, there is a part two where the lack of Ro-Lo lovin' will be "fixed."
