Bio:
I got in a tizzy a few years ago, decided to give up fan fiction, so deleted all my stories. But later when I went to delete my ff.net account I just couldn't. I felt I had one story left in me. But, um, yeah, no stories remain here. Sorry.

I'm not putting my stories back here even though two of the stories that were here aren't on fanfiction.net. I've been so lazy (one reason I'm not reposting anything here) but one day I plan to post the two stories I had here over there. And if anyone cares you can read my stories at fanficdtion.net under the same name, Darlin. I also have stories with Ororo paired with Remy/Kurt/Iceman/Quicksilver/Thor/Sabretooth and maybe down the road even with Legolas. And if you like LotR I've a link there to another account I have, dreamingnwatercolors, with a few LotR stories as well as Firefly and Hildago.

I have to say I kind of miss this site, the camaraderie. I wonder what's up with some of my favorite author's and hope they're well.

I haven't had the time to check for updates and I should have made time since you've got to be the fastest poster I've ever seen. I've nothing but admiration for you in that department - superb! So I've sent these last chapters to myself at work and will read them there and come back to review later as time permits. Thanks again for updating so wonderfully fast! :D

I'm really enjoying this story. I like the pace. It's just right. I also like Remy realizing how he feels and I'm actually torn between which man I want her with though that love scene had me preferring Logan. I really felt Storm's need to feel the way you wrote that. I thought that was quite nice. Despite the typos you've done a good job with this chapter.

The inclusion of Remy was like cold water splashed on my face and I love Remy and Ro together but the way you started this chapter was so beautiful - really lovely. One of the best RoLo moments I've ever read. I'm really liking your slow development of the two. Nicely done.

I like this story a lot but you have a few typos that actually take away from the story at the end. I don't mean to be picky, it's just that I do enjoy this story so much and that last line left me wondering what you were trying to have her say. “Yes, it rain,” She whispered . . . maybe "Yes, let it rain?" Still, your RoLo is lovely and I love the pacing, that they weren't going at it like rabbits full of lust but waiting to see how things went and taking the time to resolve things. Very nice. Oddly I found myself missing Remy here but I enjoyed the absence of song lyrics as well meaning no offense just that I don't care for song fics. Let me add that the lyrics previously and in other chapters take nothing away from the story, probably add to it to many, and are easily ignored for those such as myself who don't care for them. I sound like a nut I'm sure, up too early I suppose. I'll be looking forward to the next chapter - love the fact that you update so quickly, quite admire that.

Well, that's definitely a way to leave us clamoring for more! My first reaction was that Remy had found them but the'd have to be telepathic for that yet they do seem to have that type of bond which is intriguing in itself. Very nice chapter, Ladie.

I'm glad to see you over here, Bats and will read the other chapters I haven't had time to when I get to work and check out the Storm group. I did want to say that I'm intrigued by this story as I mentioned before. There are a few typos or where you've left out a word here or there but I've been able to keep up so far. I do think the use of contractions could be used a little more to make everyone sound more natural but other than that, again, I'm quite intrigued and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the chapters when I get to work.

Good grief, man you write with the speed of someone possessed! I can't believe you've gotten so many chapters out in what, a week or less? Well, the story's full of drama though I'm hoping for a happy ending. I think I'd used contractions more to make everyone sound a little more natural and I was curious about the use of ye when Vic was speaking - was that supposed to mean you?

Truth be told I have not read all the chapters because you updated so incredibly fast I simply couldn't keep up. It's like there's something in the air and everyone's got update fever. But I did read most of your story and thought it came to a fitting end. I can only commend you on your excellent and incredible ability to juggle two or three stories at the same time AND update so fast. Purely remarkable!

Author's Response: this was my first x-men fic and second one in total...I had a blast writing it. currently working on 'Dreams' for X-men and 'Choices' for JLA. Planning on starting another AU fic for x-men soon.

I like this approach you have as if we're there with them in the present. I like the era you're writing in a lot and how you seem to know the comics well which is always a wonderful bonus. I will say there're a few mistakes in composition however since this seems to be your first story and written some time ago it's nothing to complain about. I quite enjoyed this chapter and am looking forward to the next few, see you just updated too!
