Hon, definitely feels like you have a better 'feel' for where you want to take this story. I noted that you had a lot of good use of metaphors running through this chapter.

After we've seen the development of Remy and Bella's relationship, I have to wonder if part of the attraction he has with Ororo stems from the fact that he has so much control over everything that's happening to her currently. For instance with Bella, she was a fiery talent that constantly twisted and competed with for dominance, but with Ororo's growth, Remy is basically pulling all the strings.

I like seeing Logan slowly but surely making more of a presence in this story. I'm having the belief again, that out of all the players in this story, Logan is going to be the one that's that going to be the most honest with her. He's basically been at each stage of Ororo's development. And since he's an outside player, he has the most objective view on everything. And although he might not be one of the most favorite people right now, I can see that changing soon.

Anyway later lass, keep up the good work!

Author's Response: I'm grinning and glowing over here, friend. Yes, Logan will likely have a good understanding of Ororo, but he will have to get to know her first, and she already has it in mind that he's too poky, nosy and opinionated for her taste, where she's trying to rise above where she's been. Ororo will have issues with Remy, too, and he won't be the only one pulling strings, considering the industry she's standing at the threshold of. Bella will pop up once in a while. The honeymoon period for Ororo is just about over. Thanks for the compliments and suggestions! Glad you liked the metaphors.

Oh yes, I am thoroughly enjoying this story. Remy is so sweet, I hate to see how he and Logan are gonna butt heads over the lovely Ororo.

Author's Response: Actually, the two of them butting heads is the part I'm looking forward to! Remy is sweet, he's the good guy in this story, I promise, but he isn't perfect. Logan initially seems like a jerk, too, but I'll soften him up eventually. THanks for the nice feedback.

I love how you interspersed Logan into the story, like his gruff cabbie aura and adding Bella into the mix was an unexpected pleasure. This story has a kind of gritty feel to it, perhaps that should be restated to say realistic feel which I might’ve mentioned before. I’m glad to get caught up.

Author's Response: Glad you like Logan. I'm still on the fence about what to do with him. He's a cab driver, but he needs more substance and back story, that's what's eluding me right now. Bella is a character people don't use that much in fic, or at least none of the Remy fic I've read, since readers are so Rogue-centric. Gritty is actually the feel I was going for, so you can keep that word, D. Thanks for reading!

It was the calm before the storm

I'm very intrigued.

Author's Response: Now I just have to figure it out! But it will move on beyond Ororo moving in, I promise. Thanks for reading.

I swear if this wasn't the RoLo Realm I'd want this to be an Ororo/ Remy story. I love this.

Thanks for giving me something to read at work, CeeCee.

Author's Response: I'm planning an Ororo/Remy piece for AFF when I get around to writing it. I'm glad you liked it, Cara. I miss you! I peek at your Facebook once in a while for updates. There's a few of us RoLoers out there, which you probably already knew. Talk to you later, girl. Have a good day.

I really needed to read this today... so much so that I started tearing up reading it. Even though you couldn't possibly know that... Thank you for posting this when you did.

Now that I've stopped tearing up, on to the real review.

I'm really curious to see how things are going to start up between Ororo and Logan. I'm still loving Remy... Can I have him? That scene with Bella was great lol

Author's Response: I know. I'm jonesing for some Ororo/Remy lately, Holly and I brainstormed about that last week. This will be RoLo, but it's a Remy warmup for another fic I'm planning.

I have to say this is becoming more interesting with every chapter. I'm interested in seeing what Remy plans to do exactly. I feel bad for Ororo because she's got a difficult position she doesn't want to be pitied upon but yet she clearly in a situation that warrants help also.

I can also see where the problems with Ororo and Remy's backgrounds will become a problem later. A few lines by Remy ruffled my feathers the wrong way. But in honestly he can't be to blame, its probably assumed that he's never had a life as hard as Ororo's so there are just things he's not going to get.

And we finally have Logan introduced to the other two.

Hate to say this hon, but MOAR!

^^

Author's Response: Remy is still learning about Ororo and how far he can go with their communicating and conflicts. He means well, but it will be a lot of work to connect with her beyond their immediate chemistry. Remy's life had its problems, but he's come a long way. He could end up back on a rocky path eventually, but I won't give up too much. Go back a chapter or two, though, and take a look at Remy's key chain. *hint* And yes, Logan will be popping up more soon.
