Kookykrumbs chapter 27 . 3/21/2018
What an amazing journey this trilogy was. Took several days to get through, and it was worth it. The complex dynamics you created between each X-Man is just perfection. Very human, flaws and all. This is a masterpiece in human interaction amidst tragedy and desperation. I was so invested in every single character. From Rogue and Gambit, to Jubilee and her baby, Jean and Cyclops, Bobby and Jean-Paul, even Hank and Panda.

I fell in love with little Charlotte as well. What a sweet little girl. I wish there was a fic after this that showed her just a little older. So much potential in this one character. I thought the different ways the ladies handled their trauma from being gang-raped was very realistic. I was totally hooked as well with that tiny little subplot about Queen Marina wanting sexual favors from Cyclops and withholding her aid because of it. I thought you wrote Cyclops so in character with how he responded (better than the comic books where he cheated on Jean telepathically with Emma Frost).

Probably the only criticism I have of this whole fic was that I really didn't like how Queen Marina got pregnant with Cyclops' baby. I think out of all the X-couples, Cyclops and Jean have the most "picture perfect" relationship one so to speak, and I guess I just hate the idea of Cyclops having a child that wasn't Jean's. Again, not a criticism on the writing (in fact it made a lot of sense for the story), but just wished it didn't happen that way. Or at least maybe I wish there was a scene with Cyclops and Jean dealing with the by-blow (so to speak).

Anyway, all credit to you for an amazing trilogy. It's rare to find such a talented writer. Thank you for your commitment in finishing this. A truly engaging and remarkable story.

I looked up The Catch Trap and it sounded like SUCH a great book. But no stores OR libraries in my area have the book!

This series was just... amazing. I can't even find words to properly comment on my feelings for it, so I'll just say it was amazing. Made me feel pretty much all emotions that a story can make me feel. Everything was put togehter in a way that really made me feel for the characters, even the originals and ones I normally can't stand.

Fanfiction like this is incredibly hard to find, and often unfinished. I am glad to have found this, and even though I only found it after it was finished I'm sure if I was around for the updating time there would be a review on every chapter begging for more.

Thank you for writing these books, they were an amazing read.
Cirevol chapter 27 . 5/8/2007
Wow... Just wow. It took me forever to read all of this, but I have to say, it was amazing. I'm surprised - you really did seem to tie up all the loose ends (I thought you might have forgotten about Mark a while back!). It's amazing that you managed to write such a complete story - and the writing (especially at the end) is very nice. Maybe cheesy or awkward (*cough*bobbytalkingaboutpenises*cough*) at times, but nice. Hey, nobody's perfect. Anyway, I'm totally impressed, I can't imagine the amount of work it must have taken to create something like this.

After many many many many many many many many days of reading, I finally finished the trilogy. It was truly one of the greatest fics...pieces of literature rather, that I have ever read. Could you please please please please write a story telling of the war against the Cetians and then the battle against apoc. It would be a great fic that i know you could write. please!1

Just re-reading. Fanfiction of this calibur is very hard to find, and never gets old. With that said, Are you working on that fourth book yet? :-D
IvyZoe chapter 27 . 4/27/2005

I loved this story, although I was disappointed that Sam and Jubes didn't stay together. I thought they would be an interesting pairing. Hope you write more soon.

I quite enjoyed the triology. I found that although some scenes were not too my liking over all the whole works was rich with ideas that were quite amazing and kept me reading even through the parts that I was not intersted in. I will admit that smut and "sex" scenes have never really interested me and that is mostly what I am talking about, however, over all I find this to be a very good story series even if my favorite character (Psylocke) was a bit of an ass throughout the most of it.

Thank you for a most enjoyable story and a very nice eppilogue where the lose ends were tied up nicely, if a little quickly.

Cheers!

What could I possibly say about such an amazing series?

... Well, I guess I could start with it was *long* a very good thing in my mind; I love epics and this trilogy was the mother of all epics on

I'm not really a huge X-Men fan, not through dislike, simply through lack of exposure. This series was probably one of the biggest motions I've made into the fandom and I loved it. Really, I don't know how much praise I could heap on you for such a fantastic job, I was completely enthralled by everything about this, the drama, action, romance (btw, I love that it was mostly in Bobby's POV and that he was with Northstar, it introduced so many nuances that made it even better to read. I loved the Bobby/Northstar aspects of this.).

I must say, that final epilogue was so well written ... I staretd crying at the part about Pofessor X. After everything that happened he did get to see his dream realised. That was one aspect of the story that always kept me going, to see if he would prevail, it was such a huge bright spot for everyone: acceptance and healing.

I'm so glad my friend mentioned this trilogy, you're a brilliant writer and very dedicated, it's quite admirable. I'm not sure I could keep up something like this for so long. You obviously love what you write and the series itself and it shows in your writing, everything about it is so amazing.

It was such a great experience reading your three stories, I loved every moment I was reading. Thank you so much for sharing such brilliant writing with all of us.
