I am probably on my fourth or fifth reread of this fic. this chapter always gets to me. Always. It's like, of all the chapters, this is the kicker. It starts out lovely, awesomely, amazingly with Logan and Ororo making amends and you painting this picture perfect marriage between her and T'Challa and shenanigans at the mansion, even!

And then you take a stake, drive it into the reader's heart, twist it, laugh maniacally at our pain and then dust the wound with a fine helping of salt or something. Seriously. Seriously. That's how much of an emotional rollercoaster this was, and I want to hate you for stringing everyone on, but. I can't. I'm in way too deep.

(I do resent you for making T'Challa way too easy to adore and fall in love with, ONLY TO KILL HIM IN THE END. God. My heart, it weeps.)

(I am, however, glad that everything works out in the end.)

(Still, this fic is like a milestone for me because. I am a big RoLo fan - what am I doing rooting for the rival ship? XD)

WTF??!!!

Why am I all sad and heartbroken cos BP is gone???

WHY?!!!

Damn you, WR1! Damn you to hell, but you can write, darlin. U can write the shit outta fanfic!! That's it! That's all! I have to get to the next chapter!! I can't wait any m--

that was definetly a twist.

That was a GREAT Chapter! It was so good I wish that I wrote it! I can't believe that T'challa is dead. There has to be some kind of mistake. I really need for this guy to come back to life. Everything was coming together so perfectly. Ororo was happy, she had finally talked to Logan, and he gave his blessing or somthing like it about her marriage to the panther...they had a baby on the way...and it was beautiful. Then BOMB! my world comes shattering down by this tragedy. BRING HIM BACK! Logan still doesn't deserve her after all that he has out here through. Listen to me... Iam a die hard ROLO fan and here I am cheering for the other guy. I guess that is a tribute to how good this writing is. I love they way you have developed this story and I love how the DRAMA continues to unfold. You've inspired me to start writing ROLO again seeing how I haven't written anything in alomst 2 yrs. OMG Im crying I can't believe this. This story has brought tears to my eyes and I loved every monent of it I couldn't read fast enough. PLEASE keep up the good work and UPDATE soon....I mean like withing the next 10 min would be great. But great work takes time so don't rush it. I'd rather wait for a great story then read something less then what it could have been.

Author's Response: Yes!! Start writing, and OMG, such a HUGE compliment that I inspired that. I just read Tired tonight, and I reviewed, but I'll say again, so true to real life. **Thumbs way up** As for the crying, i should feel bad, but I don't. i can't. It means so much that you are that emotionally involved! I love that! Thank you for the review and I hope to hear more, and read more from you!! (Soon I hope)

This chapter is harsh to the core! Logan admitting he screwed up by not seeing Ro's love for him broke my heart! The longing and regret is so real to me that I almost couldn't finish reading this chapter! WOW Hobbins, you rock in so many ways I have no words! Although I'm not a big fan of T'Challa, his death saddened me. This story is ranking right up there with "BloodBonds"! Write on windrider1, write on! I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: I'll take that as a huge compliment since i know how much you loved BB. Muah!! Love ya, El!!

I. Am. Speechless.

Author's Response: Ha--you? Really? More soon JG. ;) Always mucho thanks muse.

Now would I leave you with a tiny, almost nothing review? N..wait, that's a dumb question, I already did. But would I leave it like that? Ok, now I can say 'no'. Cuz I have this....


HE'S DEAD, HE'S DEAD, HE'S DEAD, HE'S DEEEEEEEAD!! *dances the snoopy dance on T'Challa's grave* Yay!, now Wolvie can swoop in like the hero he is, comfort Ro and care for the baby, and oh, the possibilities! But as much as my face is hurting like hell from smiling so much at his timely demise *cackles manically*, that was EEE-VIL. I mean, you have him marry Ro, be this disgustingly good guy, have her fall in love with him, get me to like this guy just a bit (it's only a bit, like smaller-than-a-speck-of-dust bit mind you, but it was still enough to get me confuzzled and depressed), and then you kill him off! GOD, I love you!! *muah* Even with will all my moanin' and groanin' about Panther I don't think I ever got around to wishing him dead. Or maybe in my subconscious I did but I was too angry to recognize it until now. I think I just wanted them to break it off somehow. See, I told you, confuzzled. But lemme tell you, when I read about his death, I was in shock, seriously, like for a couple of seconds, no movment. And then happiness and joy of course. Am I going to Marvel H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks for wishing death to one of their characters? Oh yeah. Should I be feeling guilty? Probably. Do I? Nope. That's what they get for introducing this Ro and T'Challa debacle. And that's why we have *insert butt-kissing words 'here' (too many to choose from, wouldn't do you justice anyway)* authors like you to fix it. Have I mentioned that I love you lately?

On with the other parts...
Oh man, when I read the confrontation between Wovie and Ro, I cried, again. What is this, I cry like almost every other chapter. And NO, Bloody Mary has not visited me. Babe, that's you and you're supurb writing. The confession was all Wolvie. No pansy-ass declaration of love for him. “Because I never loved Jean like I love you!” I was rootin' 'you go Wovie, go get im' Ro. And the realization that Ro had of what was happening again to Wolvie; that he love another married woman. Man, that's harsh. Once is enough, but twice? I wouldn't be surprised if Wolvie swore off love all together. Luckily for us, that won't happen, right? 'Course not. And I cried for him, I could literally feel the pain he was going through.

I won't get into the Ro and T'Challa scenario parts, 'cept the countdown and the his demise *cackles maniacally* and the end. I like that, 'the countdown to T'Challa's death'. When I was first reading it, I didn't register what the number's were for, then I'm like, 'oh, that's what those are for'. Yeah, I'm a little slow in the head. I was hurting here, except this time for Ro. To lose another *gulp* loved one *gulp* to a collapsing building. Do I sense a recurring theme here? That's all kinds of brilliant and talented creativity. All the emotions and underlying themes, wow. And finally when she wakes up and later asks Wolvie to do 'something' to her. That was the final blow. Undescribable, what felt. And again with the waterworks. Through all this I was listening to a band called Default and their song Count On Me. I was bawling gallons. The song is just so fitting to what Wolvie and Ro will have to endure. As for the baby, I only hope everything will be resolved before it's borne, if it's born. Mixed feelings on that, won't go into detail.

So, what do you think? This enough for ya? ;P


Actually, when I posted the other one, it was almost midnight and I was really tired, but stayed awake enough to read and post that. I figured I'd spend the next day thinking up and writing a review. When I said it took me forever (well, a couple hours) to write one, I meant it. But real life got in the way. But enough with the excuses. Allow me to grovel at your feet and humbly request a thousand apologies for my grave error.

*grovels at feet* I'm sorry....I'm unworthy....I'm sorry....I'm unworthy....please bring back the cookies and poopey diappies in case I fall of the deep end again....

Author's Response: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay A true Raeyna review!! Bonus!! The "Snoopy dance" on his grave? Ooooh harsh. (But points for knowing the Snoopy dance!) You cried? Awwww **cackles maniacally** LOL. There is more to come in this story, and thank you , thank you, thank yo for the review and for sticking it out! This and KC coming up. **grins like a loon**

I should be happy now that he's gone..I should, so why am I not? Because you made me fall in love with him. Hoplessly and insanely. I actually feel some of 'Ro's sorrow. Logan will have a hell to try and help her cope with this. He has been there himself, but Ororo didn't just loose the love of her life (yeah I know now that she loved Panther) but her child too. it's cruel and so unfair. But that is life and you have depicted it in a wonderful, wonderful way. I had to wait for all this to sink before I could write a review.

It should take time before 'Ro let's another man into her life, even Logan. And the way you now write him, I belive he knows that all she need is a friend that will be able to withstand her sorrow and possible anger.

Reading your stories makes me wanna burn my works, really I'm so far behind it' takes me back to kindergarten. You have a beautiful way of writing and bring out the soul of the characters. And you really pull me into your world. When the countdown started I held my breath and I just knew something bad would happen. This is what an author does. Creates a world and makes a reader feel like she is a part of it. You are an author and this is your finest work in my opinion.

I am in awe!

Author's Response: I am speechless. Wow. Thank you, with heartfelt hugs, thank you for this review. It makes me so happy to know that I've grown as writer since last summer, and to have that followed and appreciated, well, I can't describe how happy that makes me, especially from such a wonderful author like yourself. To tell the truth, i fell pretty hard for T'Challa too. **Sigh** More soon. ;)
