*Clapping wildly* So very good! So very clever! So very real! You did such a wonderful job with this story. Indeed, true love is not whether he saves you from the clutches of the FOH. It's whether you can stand his ass with that 'til death does you part thing. (sigh) I, too can relate when you look at that Madden playing lout who never does the dishes and you wonder to yourself, "Why is he still here? Isn't there like a strip club or something he could go to? He's always here! AARRGH!" But then he does something endearing like.... um, can't think of one. Let me go back to that warranty disclaimer, maybe I can set a precedent or something. GREAT JOB!

Please pardon the long review, it’s just you don’t see stories like this everyday. There's Porn w/o Plot, there's Porn w/ Purpose. Please excuse my wanting to slap you around for calling this porn. The without-a-doubt-hot-naked-action going on here is clearly secondary to the nuances of emotion and the levels of eroticism offered here. The parallels between Kurt Wagner's crisis of faith and Logan's personal feelings of failure over his inability to live up to the tenets of the Bushido are so clear here. The action that follows is the exploration of one's self induced limitations of expression of self and whatever mores and constraints a belief system may weigh on that expression. All released, of course, by the relationship between Ororo and Logan. Watching this dynamic between Ro and Lo and the level of freedom and completeness this pairing offers, can't you somewhat believe and even root for it? Historically, Logan is seen as this gruff, oversexed, alpha male brute who is wont to leaving teeth marks all over his conquests in a sign of his power. Ororo is seen as prudish almost indifferent on one hand or weepy and sexually passive the next. Here you can see how so many years of long established friendship and trust along with their own respective natures couple almost perfectly and create this almost symbiotic relationship. Here they are essentially freed of whatever held them back before. Logan's core motivations and anger really can be seen as coming from a sense of insecurity. Here there is no longer the insecurity. He is in a relationship that has no boundaries and yet no leeway for betrayal. He feels power through her sense of power. His power is amplified by her not wielding hers without his permission so his sense of the "mineness" is secured. Ororo, on the other hand, is free to express herself as freely as possible without the sense of being held back and limited. She is wanton, feckless, completely in awe of her powers over men. This relationship frees her to be in true goddess form. There is a level of comfortability here I envy. I guess then it is porn. Relationship porn cause there's stuff being done here I wish I could do with my significant other (sigh). And don't let the Author's Notes get you twisted. I'm not just reviewing cause she referenced me. This is truly a great freaking story. I'm honored she gave me a shout out but obviously the artistry and effort was all hers.

Very nice moment. Throughly enjoyable. Cliffhanger... HUZZAH!

I celebrate your intention of writing, which you should indeed continue. My recommendation is to start over, write the entire thing out first until you get the story the way you like it, AND THEN start posting. Right now you're just throwing out ideas without a cohesive structure. This is not a story, just notes. I look forward to reading your completed story, but to be honest, this is frustrating. :)

You have a remarkable talent for detail: how Forge would sit with his handicap, integrating the blue of the Classic!Storm's eyes, paperwork. Heh. Well done.

Logan had the absurd notion to shove Hank aside and take the embrace himself. He restrained the urge. Barely.

I lol'ed.

TOTALLY! This story and the action wins. You're so effective efficient in your storytelling.
