I told my Logan that I had not left a review to this story (totally just too shy at the time when I first read it to even attempt a review) and he gave me a look saying was I crazy. Need to let you know this is another phenomenal piece of work. Please update soon. A A

Author's Response: Hi, Angel. Thanks for visiting my story again, sorry it's woefully unfinished. I have ideas in mind for it, but I keep getting backlogged in other projects. In real life, I have a family, full-time job, and a painting/sewing hobby that every once in a while gets me commissions. Take care.

I make a law out of never touching unfinished fic, and I've skipped this one so many times in the past for that exact reason. But I have this habit of reading reviews, you know? And this one has glowing ones! SO I got curious, decided to try the first chapter and, well. Twenty-two chapters later I'm hating myself because unfinished fic on a cliffhanger? Why do I do this to myself?

Oh right, because it's worth it. Ugh, Miss Cee, you write some amazing AU's, did you know? I don't generally like the idea of it, but I'm pulled into your terribly realistic AU's time and time again. It's crazy.

I love this. I find myself trying to comprehend all the technical sales talk (I'm vaguely disappointed you don't have Bobby as an up and coming talented young accountant in this!) , but other than that, I forget that everyone in this story were once mutants. They seem to fit so seamlessly into your universe. As they always do, in every AU you write.

Hope to see this continue, but end with a happy ending! Because dang if you didn't give Logan and 'Ro backstories-from-hell. They deserve some happiness!

Author's Response: "Back stories from hell." That makes me laugh and it's probably too true. I like AU's. They suit me. My original stuff when I started writing here was strictly canon-based from the comics, until I read Jasmine's story "Life's Surprises." She took those two in completely different directions, even though I still recognized them as I was used to seeing them, albeit vaguely. But it was entertaining, and I wanted to do something like that. That's where "Never Been One for Wine and Roses" kinda came from. I'm trying to get back into this story. It took me about two, no maybe three years before I finally updated Abandon, and that took a lot out of me. This story is next in line, along with Focus, to get some of my attention. Hope this reply finds you doing well. I don't get out here to the Realm that often anymore. Take care, Marbles.

Finish it friend. its an incredible story. sorry life has been so hard, hope it gets better.

Author's Response: Thanks, babe. I'm trying to figure things out. I appreciate the shout-out and visit.
