Bravo! Excellent Excellent story!

it truly is wonderful and i loved it for the most parts.

I guess, I'll start with how you introduced Bishop and Sage into the story and how we were witnessing Remy and Rogue's relationship through their eyes. It felt nice looking at them from an outsider's point of view, though i have to admit that i'm slightly relieved that Rogue and Remy aren't necessarily having problems, but she's just dealing with things on her own. Though, i did think that her idea of being 'batman' was rather idiotic too, thank goodness she talked to remy about it.

I also really liked how you played on the fact that they're adjusting to life and that they're not simply just happy. I always figured that during their time away, it probably consisted of many of the stuff you wrote. I liked how you wrote that it took Rogue a while to get used to being able to touch and how insecure she was. i liked how you made it seem like it took a while for them to finally consummate their love and that really makes their relationship that much more special.

What i think i liked most about this story is how true you stay to Rogue's character. It would make sense that she'd be the one who misses being a X-man more than Remy. She has been one for so long, and arguably, being a X-men, is completely ingrained in her. I mean, her life has been shit up until the point she joined the X-Men. The X-Men gave her a purpose in life and made her feel as though she belongs in the world. and i simply loved how you capture her love and loyalty of being a X-man. What i also love is the fact that you played on her not revolving her entire life around Remy. Very true to her nature as well. She loves him but she acknowledges that she loves other things as well. It really emphasizes on just how independent she is and how she will always remain that way since it is embedded in her. Her whole life she has been fighting for herself and counting on only herself, although, even that is hard to do considering her powers. But that's who she is.

So, absolutely wonderful job on Rogue's characterization. Absolutely wonderful. I guess my only minor critique is that you tend to leave a few words out of sentences like "that" or use "too" when you should use "to". But i won't fret, since i understood anyway.

Oh... and absolutely love the little bit of Romyness in the end. I need a dose of that here and again :)

So cheers to you! i'm adding this to my C2 community! Bravo, my dear!

This is the second story I have read from you and I have to say that it is amazing. I have rarely read anything that has so much emotion in their writing. A lot of writers leave that out when they are writing causing the characters to lose a part of their personality and spirit. Thak you for keeping that part of them in your work. I look forward to reading more of your stories. Keep up the good work.

This was excellent - another triumph - This to me is how I would have expected Rogue and Gambit to behave post power loss. You capture the essence of their charecters flawlessly. In particular I was impressed with the way you explained Rogue's gradual acceptance of physical intimacy - which seems to me to be much more realistic then the way it is often portrayed. Fantastic!

Excellently done story. It was efficiently told in the short story format. You did well to bring the conflict into light right away, give us misleading information, things to wonder about, to speculate on our own, then you broached the real conflict and offered a solution and a motivation for the final act of the short story. This was structurally sound, a small and poignant story with real and immediate human concerns, and it was nicely expressed.

Good job!
