Oh to tell you how many times I have read this, my ultimate favorite one-shot. And to get the unexpected pleasure of both povs is just having my cake and eating it too! Absolutely love, love love this fic, can't believe I've never told you. Feel like a kid wishing for more.

Undeniably a great read. I actually liked this version more since I like introspective work on Wolverine. Wolverine is a tough cookie to write for, but you have always had a knack for really getting the best of him and Ro...in paticular Wolvie.

As I stated in the other fic, you have plenty of room to grow on, which is something I always love about your fics. You can definitely do a nice short prologue story to this event, you can even do a sequel to this set of fics as to the struggle they go through to regain that trust in each other.

At that moment in time when Wolvie went to the nearest red head he did exactly what Storm's ex would do, which is something completely appalling. I'm even surprised by his actions since I'd put that a bit above him. But nothing can really question a hurt wolf. In any event it was a great entertaining read and I'm glad your sort of back.

I gues I'm planning on rereading all your work and rereviewing....to give you motivation to get back into the writing biz.

Author's Response: Wow, and damn woman! Thank you for the wonderful concrit. I appreciate the honest review and the specific reasoning because that allows me to see exactly where I may have a weak spot (and lately many) I'd love to chat. I'm right out straight tonight, but I'll be online for most of tomorrow. You still have my IM? I usually use my gmail one. Email me and lemme know. Ok?

Oh wow it's been ages!! I've been on the out myself due to school and pressure to get all the work done which I was not successful in, but luckily will be done with it all by Saturday. In any event, in lieu of a break I intended to take, I decided to show up here and what to do I find a good story.

Okay, I'll review and give my input on this chapter. The first is one negative aspect. I don't think you have Remy down. I love your writing as you very well know but as for Remy here...not very Remy like. Not non-chalant enough, not debonair enough, and definitely not Cajun enough. He sounded very "American" ie upper mid-west areas. Not like he sounds in the comics where he seems even more "french" than really Cajun. But the accent is a bit poor is what I mean.

Other than that the fic was excellently done and I loved it. I was actually hoping you'd write the earlier part of their relationship and what went wrong in it and if the red-head was a random chick or someone we all know---hmmm...Mystique popped up. Mainly because we all know that Mystique and Storm have some stormy (don't excuse the pun ^_^) waters between them in consideration of Storm's former fiance.

I actually liked that you didn't have Storm and Remy have a past, although I wouldn't have minded seeing it if it was included since it would have been interesting to see how Storm and Wolverine both have respective pasts with Remy. Maybe you can add that in another fic, if you decide to come back to contributing.

It would be interesting to have Rem show up randomly and mainly....because he want's Stormy's help or even Wolverine's and ends up finding the other one there and building the story around the relationship between the three. Meh, it would be interesting if Storm and Wolverine both had a past they forgot about and it's through Remy it comes out.

In any event, that dynamic was a great inclusion and definitely adds some spice to writing if you know what I mean and definitely some much needed excitement to readers like myself to see how skilled writers like yourself adapt to the knowledge.

In this fic I really enjoyed the start and hope that you have more to add more. I also wanted to add that I liked the romance element. I liked that Wolverine nor Storm didn't walk away here and lie to themselves. It's something that irks me so much about the writign of the characters because the characters appear to have no balls when they walk away. At least here they won't lose that chance and they're willing to make a go of it again..

Oh and if you want to chat, I'm totally up for it. ^_^

Windy! Let me start of by saying that its nice to see you back and that your alive : )
Secondly, a wonderful one-shot, New Beginnings is as wonderful as many of your other stories. What I like most was that you included that little bit about Gambit and Wolverine knowing each other. Which is an slightly different contrast from what we are use too, considering Storm usually has Gambit in past - either way, Wolverine still hate him, lol. I liked that the humor between Ororo and Logan, their banter is always enjoyable. And what you did with the different perspective was neat - did I seriously just use the word neat?......
But I do have bone to pick with you now that your here, where is an update for elusive 'Fall On Me' Hello, wonderful story right there. And what about emotional stirring, ‘Stand By Me’ do you have plans on picking them back up? I think you should consider it *wink**wink**nudge*nudge* lol
Happy New Year

Author's Response: HI! I'd say it's good to be back, but I felt really rusty. LOL :P If I do update a story it will most likely be Fall on Me. It's the most open right now, so that would be where I go...however, that's still a bit off. I miss the RoLo and most of all you guys, but there was some recent drama with Bloodbonds that still leaves my mouth sour. Sooooo.... Thank you very, VERY much for the review and the encouragement! **huggles**

My apologies, I didn't realize you posted another chapter. I have to say this addition left a better feeling in my gut to these two future. The alternative pretense of Gambit helped to fill in some of the scene. And i'm glad you didn't play too much into Emma's role. (granted she's to be in Origins also, we'll overlook that)

I have to agree with another person's review, this chapter seemed more emotional driven. The havoc that Ororo plays on Logan's heart, is really well felt. Almost understand why he sought to be with Emma...Almost.

Either way, a nice addition. Just as good or even more so than the first.

Author's Response: No apologies needed. In fact, I should apologize. I've been meaning to read and review your fic, but I haven't had a lot of free time. Know that it's on my "to-do" list, and I look forward to it! *Grin*

Gosh this chapter was so much more emotional! I felt for Logan for once and it felt oh so good and after reading Ch.1 again I also felt that same sadness from Ro! Gosh, how do you do it? You are such a Ro/Lo wench! I haven't been this excited about an update since.......well, a long damn time! Write on windrider1, write on!

Author's Response: LOL. You are a constant treat, you know that? **hugs**

I'm torn. I love, Love, LOVE your fics, including this one, but when Logan's on top of her and not backing off, man...I HATE that when anyone's done that to me, whether I ended up turned on eventually or not. I can feel her annoyance with him perfectly, the way you described it. So that's well done on your part, since it was very believable. But yeah...it has "I feel like slapping my husband around" written all over it.

But this was fun. I love the humor as usual, it has Holly written all over it. I love that it has a hint of Ultimate and Movieverse mixed in. Remy was sexy, you made me want more of him, if not in this fic, than in anything else. It makes me crave "Oreo" fic as much as Rolo.

Logan had better behave himself. Diddling redheads and he comes crawling back. Chickens come back to roost, Logan! You know you did an awesome job writing this if you've made me want to punch him.

Author's Response: LOL. I'm glad you liked it.:D As much as I love Logan I think he'd be too, uhm, unobservant to notice that crowding isn't always the best approach--even if it tends to get the job done for him. Remy is always fun, and Mmmm OREO fics are the yum. Seriously. We need more of those. **sigh** Thanks so much for the review!! (((hugs)))

Dude, you're back! And packing heat it seems. Nice little movie-verse story. I was a bit distracted with Gambit being present because of with where Origins takes place wouldn't he have been in his 50s or 60s, since it depicts Ororo being a toddler. But then I realized that we don't know how far in the past his meeting Remy was so its all good.

Either way it was a good read. Although I wanted to strangle Logan when Ororo found him back in the party. Its great to see you haven't lost your touch and I hope to look forward to see more from ya, lass. Happy New Year!

Author's Response: HEY! I can understand Remy throwing ya, but given Logan's agelessness and the fact that Wolverine seems to span a few dozen years, i just assumed Gambit was a more recent acquaintance ;). I'm glad you liked it, and as always, thank you so much for reviewing!

I misted up a bit when I read it the 1st time. Wowser Hobbins! It's been way too long since you've been on the Realm and believe me, you were sorely missed. Man it is soooooooo good to have you back!
A party ain't a party if Remy ain't there! Excellent chemistry between Ro and Remy! Logan was in true form as only Logan can be! I want more PLEASE! LOL!
Good to have ya back! Write on windrider1, write on!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. I know, for you, you would have preferred a more, uhm, "hardcore" session, but it's been awhile since I've written one of those. Hee... Thanks for the prompt!
