The Tempest:

Aspiring artist. Muscian. Gamer. Writer. Webpage designer. Avid reader.

I've been an X-Men fan as along as I can remember, but I've just recently been converted into a RoLo shipper (with some prodding from other RoLo-ers), so bear with me while I get a feel for the coupling. I mostly write alternate universe type stories because I love placing characters in a sort of "what if?" environment. I love feedback, so let me know what you think of my stories -- good or bad.

Note to all you writers out there: Your stories are wonderful. I haven't done much reviewing lately, but I have been reading. And you are all doing a great job on your stories.

Beautifully written so far. I love Pride and Prejudice, and I love AU's, so as far as I'm concerned this is perfection.

Author's Response: Oh Gosh! I really hope I can live up to your expectations. So far the updates have been slow, but I do my best! The P&P book and series (the BBC adaption) is wonderful =)

Summary: Ehn. Read it. LOL.

Beautifully done. I know how it is when you don't want to let go of a story, but you did such a wonderful job on this story, and the ending was relaxing, refreshing.

Summary: Without giving too much away, Logan’s had a tough time recently, and escapes the Mansion with Gambit for some much needed R&R. A chance encounter, however, will change his reasons for returning to Westchester.

For Ororo Munroe, life has been hard enough as a mutant without the added curse of a Day Walker (damn, spoiled that one, huh?). At war with herself and this condition, she will reach out to the X-Men for help…and one of them accepts the call.

Wow, that's all I have to say so far. If there's anything I love more than the X-Men, it's vampires. You beautiful descriptive skills, like when you described the club and Ororo's vampire-esque eyes, I was definitely seeing all that. I started this last night and hoped to finish it by later tonight, but eh, something just came up. Such is my life. But I'll definitely finish reading and reviewing this as soon as I can (along with your other story). :)

Summary: Before Storm, there was Ororo and before Wolverine there was only....well, for that read on. [Summary n' Rating may change] [AU Mutantverse]

Awww...! This story is so cute. I just feel like pinching somebody's cheeks after reading this. Keep it up.

Author's Response: Thanks. Just posted the next update.

To Survive by Gaineewop Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 192]
Summary: Two years ago, in a state of grief over the loss of Jean Grey, Logan made a mistake. That mistake led to Ororo Munroe's resignation from the X-Men. After Charles Xavier is hospitalized, she returns. She has changed, as has Logan. How far will a person go to protect their heart...To Survive? (Post-X2)

Wow, way to go for the jugular, Storm. I am really emjoying this story. You really have a way of telling this story that just leaves me breathless and yearning for more.

Summary: Ororo Munroe has the weight of the world on her dainty shoulders, and would do anything for the people she loves. James Howlett wants to show her how to take a load off, and show her that love is a two-way street. Alternate universe, no powers. These are Marvel’s characters, but by the time I’m finished with them, they will only bear a scant resemblance.

Well, I had a nice, long review all written out but when I hit submit the site decided to die for a few seconds. :( I'll try to sum it up in a nutshell. This story reminds me of one of my favorite books called The Meeting of the Waters. I'm enjoying how your story touches on race issues. Reminds me of things that my own family have went through--the crazy bunch of heathens we are. Beautifully done, very poignant and real. I couldn't stop reading until I was all caught up. :)

Author's Response: Crazy bunch of heathens, indeed...any dragging of feet that my sister and I did on Sundays made us heathens!! I'm getting a lot of feedback from people whose families have dealt with similar issues (like my own family), and it makes me feel happy to get so much feedback and support. I just read your latest and felt myself grinning with recognition in various places. Good to hear from you.

Schadenfreude by Goddessreiko Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 41]
Summary: This takes place during and after X3. I hope to explain things like Ro's attidue and Logans inability to treat like a person and call her by at least one of her names, besides Storm.

I've always liked the idea of Pietro and Ororo together. (Blame it on those old AOA comics.) I can't wait until he's really in the picture. That's going to stir up a lot of trouble. I loved how Logan enlisted Jubilee and Kitty to help him in his "quest." Just call the the girl detectives. Can't wait to read more.

Author's Response: I thought it was weird to see them hinted at again in House of M. I thought it was a one time deal in AOA. Are they trying to tell us something...well not anymore I supose. But yeah in upcoming chapters more Tro/Ro and way more Rolo.

Okay, Pietro makes me giggle--especially with that flashback. I love the urgency in which you paint him because it's Pietro and and it's gotta get done like yesterday! I can hear everything he's saying being said at speeds that most people consider blinding. :D Okay, I'll stop fangirling. :) I really did like the interaction between them. And... You mentioned Sarah Brightman. You're officially my new favorite person. I love Sarah Brightman! I'd just about put someone in a choke hold to get some of her tickets, but I'll settle for listening to her album "Harem" until I pass out. LOL. Poor jealous Logan. *shakes head* It's not a competition... really... Anyhow, this review is here and there, so I'll end it. :) Keep writing.

Author's Response: DT, you have the best taste ever. Sarah Brightman and KH2. I can't say enough good things about you. There will be more Troro flashbacks, and they will be *interesting*. And pretty soon I'm going to have the inevitable Logan Quicksilver confrotation. It will be funny. I can't wait to write it. So thanks for reading, I hope that you'll keep enjoying it. :P

Don't listen to his lies, Marie. He'll freeze you from the inside out if you mess up. He's sweet, but he ain't that sweet. *cough* Loved that Superman banter because sadly it's true. ;) More plot turns afoot! I love it. Bets, yay! :D Geez, I know I'm s'pose to be rooting for the RoLo but I can't help loving 'Ro and Pietro. :D Excellent job.

Author's Response: Thanks for sticking around for this. Glad your liking the tro/ro thing, I finally found out what I'm gonna do with it. He'll show up again real soon. Promise. And Betsy??? Who said that was Bets? Sike. I'm just playin. But yeah, I love how she's gonna be very important in all of this! Thanks for the compliments. I heart them.

Summary: What happened before Bishop and Shard showed up in the alternate timeline with Wolverine and Storm? How did they meet in such an apocolyptic future, how did they fall in love? When did they become so utterly devoted to each other? Can this devotion be carried on in the present timeline?

Nicely done and definitely a good question to pose about their relationship in that particular timeline. Can't wait to read more.

You've done an excellent job in painting the gritty world they live in, but despite all that, they share something that transcends even that and becomes something beautiful despite the desperation of their situation. Can't wait to read more. :D

Author's Response: Thank you for taking the time to notice the details. I wasn't sure if I was overbearing in that department or not giving enough. This particular Rolo'ism is so close to my heart. I hope I can do it justice.

Slow Burn by windrider1 Rated: U Liked [Reviews - 274]
Summary: Post The Last Stand: Loving Jean was easy; it was a spontaneous combustion of emotions that flared hot and intense, here in a flash and gone just as quick. Ororo was different. Falling in love with her was a slow burn...

LOL. Bless Kitty's soul. This was a nice blend of serious and funny. Very nicely done as always. I can't get enough of your stories. :D

Author's Response: **is flattered** Thanks. I'm on fic overdrive right now.

Summary: The School for Gifted Youngsters has seen a lot of casualties in the wake of the Cure. One of their number is about to return to the fold, only to find that everything’s changed. Movieverse, after X3, AU, off-canon; there are some references to X2. Marvel owns the characters, but they aren’t getting my money anymore.

All this young love. It's so sweet. :D I couldn't help chuckling when I read this: "What they heck could they have cloned her from in the first place? Cotton balls and an old piece of string? Sugar and spice? Belly button lint?" I loved how everything's all calm with the kids and all and then BAM! you turn the story completely. Excellent. Loving it. :)

Author's Response: If the story was all calm...no one would want to read it! You know me. I like to get a rise out of people. I'm bad, so very bad...slapping my own hand. In the comics, I always wondered how Sinister cloned Jean, when getting Madelyne and Scott to have a kid was such a laborious process! Marvel characters are always so loose with their kids that they didn't know they had and with losing spare bits and pieces of their DNA. It's just shameless! Thanks for reading.

Summary: If you think seeing a movie can be tough, try making one. Xavier's Pictures is about to gamble on a big picture production. Will the drama off screen destroy the film before they can even start filming? Familiar faces run around like chickens with no heads sreaming for attention. Help me out with this folks! This is our story =) By the way, are you hungry? Common, lets go to the Goddess.
