There's hardly anything more sensuous than a man washing a woman's hair. I seldom read NC-17 stories but yours are always tasteful and well done. And too, it's always nice to see things from a male's perspective.

Author's Response: Aww, thanks for the kind words Darlin'. I'll tell ya', we think it's sensual too. *grins* I'm glad you enjoyed it from Logan's pov. --- W6C

This is so potent. You can really feel his pain and the deep love he'll always have for her. Very nice.

Author's Response: Thanks, Darlin'. I'm glad the words conveyed the feelin' I was hopin' for. --- W6C

Oh, my dear, dear NemesisBecoming! You are so incredibly good! I was just thinking about your story last week too wondering if you'd abandoned it and us and here, after over a year you've updated! Now, the wonderful thing about that is your story is so exceptionally good all I did was curse MYSELF because I couldn't get into fanfiction today when I got my author's alert! So after work I rushed home pulled up the Realm and - ah, bliss! Just reading those short sharp sentences feeling the excitement, the need that Logan was feeling was so powerful! It's like you took us on a whirlwind ride right along side of Logan. I could almost feel the wind hitting me in the face as we rushed home to the “beloved”. Wonderful, wonderful. So there I am thinking of every exclamation I can thing of as I experience Logan’s rage! And who would have ever thought to describe Logan's berserker rage as the red brick mental wall! Genius, your way with words - so captivating. Captain Misplaced Confidence - both hilarious and sad because it's true, he had no idea who he was messing with. The folly of Mother Nature - I have never heard such an intriguing and apt description of mutants. Brilliant. And the ending! Ach! You definitely know how to leave us hanging. But this chapter was incredible and nice and long and at least we have a chapter. It's still not enough! Don't get me wrong, it's very much appreciated, like an unexpected gift but I'm left gasping almost out of breath which such revelations and I need more! The beloved, who’d thunk! And finally I want to know where have you been with your winding, luring words that are almost like lyrics, so potent and addictive? And let me tell you missy – do not desert us again for so long! I'm greedy and want more of your priceless gifts! Can you tell this chapter made me happy? ;D

Author's Response: *Bouncing in hysterical and delirious joy!* I literally just SQUEE'd at your review! BEST. RAMBLING. REVIEW. EVAH!! I'm so glad you didn't lose faith in me although I did in myself for a long minute... okay, a *year*. Heh. Your review made *me* so happy! Let's be more happy, together! MUST. UPDATE. MORE!!! GAH!! *still giggling* ;P

Ah! Well, I'm back from vacation where I had a chance to read your story without interruptions. I'm glad I waited. And hey, you're very welcome I'm glad a few urgings of mine helped get this chapter up!

Now here's what I thought: the tension in the story was so thick, as if you could reach out and actually experience it. I felt torn here, partially wanting David to show he had some balls despite knowing he'd lose said balls if he did so, I liked how he ended up trying at least, and then with Logan going nuts I kept wondering what was N'dare going to go back home with. It was a fascinating read. I especially enjoyed the ending where we had some Ororo and Logan time, very nice. Now I need that promised update though - hint, hint. ;D

The details are especially well done with the possible exception of the military scenes which I'll let be as I realize unless you've been in the military you really wouldn't have much to go on and though I worked with Marines I was in the Navy where we never saluted when inside unless it was for ceremonial purposes. It's a relief that you don't have to salute inside as well as outside – or I guess I should say it was a relief that we didn't have to.

I was shocked when I saw who Logan's wife was. Hit me hard. Shudder, shudder! :D But it kept me reading! Curious how this was going to turn into a RoLo!

Author's Response: Ahhh--You know, I certainly did not know that. Huh. Actually, I've got quite a bit planned w/ Logan's military history as a backdrop; I've tried to research some of the more obvious things I don't know, but intricate things like you mentioned--never came up. Thanks for the critique (and the head's up)! Glad you're liking! (Oh, and as far as Logan's EX wife (lol), don't worry bout that; that part of his past shall remain as such--I don't wanna give too much away, but Jean's role in this fic isn't as it seems...)

I love this story! I just love it! I was so excited I had to keep speed reading through the chapters and now it's late and I know I have to get some sleep but I don't want to!

What revelations! Her ex, her father - oh this is superb! I'm officially addicted. Perfectly detailed, wonderful characterization, all around just great. I can't praise your work enough.

I wish I didn't have to be responsible and go to bed so I could continue this lovely story. Have I told you how lovely it is? :D


Author's Response: Hehheh...Hey, I'm not gonna tell ya to stop (lol)! THANK YOU!

Oh yes! You've definitely kept my attention in each and every chapter. You're doing a fabulous job, Echo. I should be doing other things, for one I'm at work, but I'm all smiles and in my own little world as I read through these chapters of yours. Work should always be so nice!



Author's Response: Uh-oh (shame on you;) I'm glad, though, that I can keep you entertained at the job (sometimes nothin's better than a good distraction). Thanks for the reiview!
