I was happy to see you’d updated so I loaded this on my USB and took it to work to read. Only thing is I started reading this wondering who are all these people? Silly me. I had to re-read the first paragraph to figure out James was Logan and then I remembered James is in a nursing home and – duh – this is one of my favorite stories right now! Guess I had a ‘mental’ pause there.
All right, on with the review! Bad first, okay, there’s not really any bad in the story. Aside from a few wordings that I couldn’t quite make out such as “he nearly cast up his accounts” – what does that mean? Also, what is bluidy? Is it supposed to be bloody? And just a few times I wasn’t able to tell who’s speaking but I truly adore your rendition of the past.
Frankly I wouldn’t have cared to read this if almost any other author had attempted, after all it’s been done before but you’ve a way with a story and most especially with characters. You’ve captured these upstart X-Men too a freaking TEE! Oh how deliciously snobbish our Shiro is, I could just eat him up and I can see and feel this motley crew as if I were one of them strapped in a seat on that sleek Blackbird then out in the field with them just watching everyone in utter awe. Now that’s good writing – no, that’s exceptional writing!
Author's Response: Wheeeeeeeee! LONG review, and a great one, at that! All right, let's see, questions...okay. Moira and Rahne, back in the day when Claremont wrote them both, always used to say "bluidy" instead of bloody, so yes, you are correct. To cast up your accounts is to throw up; I snagged that phrase from any one of hundreds of cheesy Regency romance novels I've wasted my time with. I'm glad you enjoyed the visuals. And Shiro! His personality reminds me of characters like Jean-Paul and Pietro, I love writing arrogant men. They're fun. Thanks for visiting, and I hope you get to write soon, too, kid!

I'm just like Matt, waiting on pins and needles for the rest of this story. Amazing update as usual. I have no idea how this story will end.....the story between Logan and Matt..or Logan's story. I guess I need to prepare myself for some sadness. *sigh*
Author's Response: Thanks. Logan is a guy who would need someone to unburden himself to toward the end of his life, I think, and he would do that after he's pretty much lost everyone he knew. Some sadness, sure. But hopefully, some joy, too. Logan will leave his mark on this world!!!

Oooo, suspenseful. Great action scene. I gotta tell ya', people can say what they want about Claremont but he's still one of my favorites. He gave us fun adventures and interesting stories... he made you want to be part of the team... unlike the crap bein' written today. Excellent choice for your storyline... I'm enjoyin' it immensely. --- W6C
Author's Response: I love Claremont, too, and I think some of the best stories he could have still offered fell by the wayside when they printed House of M, which was a mess...I'm glad you approve. I was in the mood for action in this story, since more often than not, angst and the mushy stuff take center stage in some of my fic. BW calls it "chick lit," and he's right!! Thanks for reading and leaving a review.

Interesting. I enjoyed this very much since I havent read the Krakoa Island story arc in a long long time. But I think Storm shoulda been teamed with Logan. *grins* Made me smile an' shake my head to see you put the guy with enhanced sense of hearing with the Banshee of all people. You are just sadistic, CeeCee. *chuckles* Well done again. --- W6C
Author's Response: True, Ororo could have been with Logan, and I could have had the two of them taking potshots at each other, but that would have distracted me from everyone getting some face time in this chapter. I wanted it to be an ensemble piece for a while, but I see where you're going with that! Banshee and Logan actually happened in the book, but that was never mentioned. Yes, I'm a little sadist. After all, Ororo was almost ate up by hungry plant life...I might revisit that, too.

We dont get to see Moira in too many fanfics. She's wonderful. I'd hang around her all day just to get a chuckle every few minutes as I did readin' this chapter. Nice job, Cee --- W6C
Author's Response: I love Moira, and I'm starting to use her a little more often. She was a great background character back in the day that I miss in the current books. I'm glad you like my interpretation of her. She'll be on hand to snark at everybody again pretty soon.

Nicely done, Cee! Loved Ororo's scolding of Logan. I could just imagine him listening to her with a casual look an' taking that step backward with an amused grin on his face. Love your descriptions too. Your chapters are full and satisying... oh wow, I guess you're my Snickers . lolol Great job. --W6C
Author's Response: That look on both of their faces was what appealed to me when I pictured it and wrote it, so I'm glad you liked it! Snickers? Bless your heart, now THAT'S a compliment! Thanks!

The action in this story is amazing!
Author's Response: Well, thanks! I always think I stink at writing action, and I certainly enjoy everyone else's action stories, so that means a lot. I hope you enjoy the rest of this as I continue to add to it.

*chuckles* This is a great chapter, Cee. A wonderful start. Even as a weary old man, Logan still has the spirit and spunk of his youth. This is really great. Excelllent job. --- W6C
Author's Response: You know me. I love Logan as much as I love RoLo itself. I see him as someone who would age with character and dignity, even if he had to rely on other people. I hope you get to read a couple of the updates I made to this story in your nonexistent spare time, AND I hope you get to update Eye. You know I adore that fic. Thanks for the lovely feedback, and thanks for visiting, W6C.

Dang! Now that is just crazy! Man eating building?? Zowie!
Author's Response: I don't do anything BUT crazy when I write Uncanny fic. I love Claremont's old stories. That building ain't finished with 'em yet, either, nor is the island as a whole. Yum, yum, eat 'em up!

Don’t get any ideas.”
“I passed ‘idea’ ten seconds ago. Call it a plan. Shit, call it a wet dream come true if ya want.”
Simply perfect hilariously bad ass classic Logan – I loved that!
Your Moria’s fun and love the way you captured her accent , the use of appropriate words – knackered, colleen – wonderful!
Just absolutely wonderful descriptions of these infamous Uncanny X-Men, it reads as if Claremont was looking over your shoulder urging you on. I can’t think of a better compliment, Cee, it was that good – goosebump tingling good!
Wonderfully done, I just don’t have words for the perfection. I bow before you in utmost respect, Excelsior!
Author's Response: I never really see Logan and Scott as buddies, considering their history, but it's fun to see them having the friendly equivalent of a pissing contest. Glad you like Moira, for some reason I've been digging her character lately, and I like using her as a minor but interesting part of the background. You can quit bowing now! (grin) I'm enjoying this wonderful review, you're spoiling me!

I'm was so pleased to see this story updated that I had to tell you. I'll read when I have more time, getting off work now, and will leave a review later. I'm so looking forward to this!
Author's Response: I'm just glad you're taking the time to read it! That's flattering enough!

Aww... I loved the scenes with Elf! and Logan being jealous made me grin
Author's Response: He hasn't quite figured out how he feels about her yet, so that might be a recurring theme. I like Elf, too. thanks for the review!

OoOoO...are the boys jealous!? I realy like this.
Author's Response: Yeah, slightly jealous. I thought it would be funny to see what happened if Ororo had more than one admirer, which when you think about it, could have happened. More to come, when I get off my butt and write it. Thanks for the review, 'Queen.
