Great finish to the story, my friend! Really enjoyed this. The final love scene with Rogue and Remy was perfect. Loved the striptease and the details you put into it, right down to the color of Rogue's thong and underwear. lol Those kinds of details are lacking in a lot of stories these days. I'm glad you took the time to show them here.

Also, great job on the emotional build-up and the sentiment. It was very tender and loving, as it should be. It's a part of the Rogue/Remy relationship that rarely gets fleshed out these days. The animated show never got around to really getting them together like they did with Cyclops and Jean Grey. I love how you finished what they started.

Again, great job! I certainly encourage you to write more X-men stories. If ever you want to discuss ideas, you know how to reach me. Take care, my friend!

Hey man! Another great chapter. Always look forward to these. But Gambit wearing a banana hammock? Thanks a lot for that mental image. No really, thanks. It really helped make this chapter memorable to say the least. lol I mean why can't the ladies have something to drool over every now and then? It's only fair.

I like how you're handling this. The Rogue/Remy relationship in the cartoon was always somewhat muted because it was a kids show, but it always had the potential to develop into something more mature. I think you're doing a great job with that maturity. I hope to see more of this. Keep up the great work!

If you only do two more chapters and there's no sex, I will flog you with a wet noodle.^_^

This one of my favorite fics EVER. This is amazing beyond words. I think if you posted on fanfiction dot net, you'd see a lot more reviews. I send everyone to you but people are turned off by this sites name. This story isn't anymore provocative than what's already there. I love, love, LOVE this story and I want everyone to read it because I know they'll love it too.

Sorry I didn't review the last chapter. I have no excuse other than laziness. I've got to say, I love that this isn't a PWP, it's so interesting to read Rogue and Gambit's relationship progress-emotionally, sexually and in building the necessary foundations for a relationship. I like that we're seeing Rogue working on trusting and letting Gambit in, and I'm glad that she's starting to not shy away from him when it comes to sexuality-because that scene at the end was both pretty hot and hilarious (due to Gambit's near speechlessness). Seriously looking forward to your next update!

Great chapter. Love how you're building the inner tension within Rogue. It's the kind of tension the cartoon can never really explore, but it only seems logical, feeling the need for intimacy and that "special" release. It's very human, so to speak. I imagine seeing a shirtless Remy would build that tension for most women. lol It also made me wonder that with all the power-suppressing technology we saw on the show, why didn't Rogue make this kind of request earlier? The comics really didn't bother with it because they eventually got around to giving Rogue control of her powers. So I'm glad you're telling this story. Keep up the great work! Take care.

You write action sequences well considering this was your first attempt. I'm really enjoying how many layers you are putting in this story and not just simply making it a PWP. It strategically makes sense for the X-Men to be trained to fight under circumstances where their powers have been completed dampened, that was a smart move to add to the story, plus it made the fight scene that much more exciting to read. I'm sure the power dampeners will come in handy in the next chapter, will we possibly see Rogue and Gambit taking advantage of having no powers? I'm looking forward to your next chapter as always, update soon!

Another excellent chapter- I agree with other comments that it was satisfying that Remy and Rogue could have an honest conversation and that Rogue didn't keep running away, but instead aloud herself to try to be happy with Remy. It can be frustrating , in the comics and the fanfiction, when Rogue keeps pushing Remy away multiple times, but you made sure that while she retains the hesitancy of mistrust, she isn't just stubborn continuously.. As for what your beta writer said- I feel that the highly descriptive prose are good, but if there are too many of those passages back to back then it can seem overly "flowery." I feel that having a few is ok, but definitely space them out especially since the other sections are just as well written and you don't want to lose that. Looking forward to the next chapter.

It's great to see you writing X-men again, my friend! Sorry it took me a while to review this first chapter. You continue to set yourself apart, writing with a level of care and refinement that I don't see in a lot of mature stories these days. I can totally see this conversation happening between Rogue and Jean. I think it's something that might even come up in the new X-men 92 series. lol I'm glad you're exploring it and I look forward to reading more. Keep up the great work! MarvelMaster616

Nicely done! I love how you built the tension up with Rogue, developing a major sense of urgency so to speak. For someone who can't touch, I imagine this happens more than any kids show is willing to reveal. lol Again, you do a great job with the details here, putting just the right amount of mature moments to make it feel hot and intimate. I look forward to seeing more with this story. Keep up the great work! MarvelMaster616
