cute story!

Yak! I'd thought I'd reviewed this piece of loveliness! Sorry about that. :embarrassed cough:

Well, anyway...

The combination of humor, drama, emotion, and complexity was absolutely perfect. Loved the pacing. Loved the "Wednesday drew to an abrupt end with a Rogue-sized escape hole punched into the ceiling..." Perfect. Loved this!

Wow... This was an absolutely fantastic short-story. It started and ended on absolutely perfect notes, maintained the intended mood throughout the breadth, and had a perfect balance of dialogue, internal monologue, scene and characterization all mixed together.

You are an absolutely FABULOUS writer. I wouldn't be surprised if you write professionally. Do you? Because, if not, you should. I would love to be able to write like you do. I would also love if I could get pointers from you on HOW to become a better writer...

Your scene depiction is beautiful. You have such a magnificent mastery of words and description! I especially loved the section with Remy looking for his pants. The way you wrote out each item individually displayed the way we actually look for items. It was systematic, yet totally in character.

My other favorite part was this: "He materializes just within the field of her peripheral vision like smoke, a billowing tower of man and muscle and leather. Cigarette in hand. The hem of his trench coat lifts, whispering a hymn to the falling darkness that remembers grazing tendrils of Spanish moss and the murky brown churn of swamp water. Fireflies in the night. A place where the serpentine hiss of gaslight is an irritatingly constant part of the ambiance."

Just amazing. Again, the word usage, the way everything flows with the mood... it is all fantastic.

Oh... I just looked back at the author, becauase I didn't note that whaen I opened the story... But now, of course. It IS you! NOW I understand. Still. Wanting pointers. Do you have classes for this stuff? How on earth do you make your descriptions flow so well? I would love to learn how to write like this...

Anyhow, another fantastic piece!

Love & Light,

Beautifulbeautifulbeautiful (and so on).

Your writing is. The narration is elegant, and I adore the earthy, realistic interaction and goings-on between characters.

Most of all, your Rogue's frankness about her feelings is refreshing; and the root of them is so familiar and honest and natural. Yes, awesome, amazing, any and all other compliments fit.

really good

I wonder why i haven't noticed this before... A great little oneshot- loved the little Kitty interrogation. :)

Very nice! Quite an enjoyable read!

Nicely done. I love how your descriptions literally paint the scene in my mind.

My absolute favorite part was when Kitty -- the resident chatterbox -- was struck speechless when Remy dropped the sheet. Hell, not like I'd blame the girl! I'd have the same reaction, more than likely!

Not only an update to the Ante but ALSO a new one-shot? Now you're starting to spoil me. I love how much you're able to pack into these shorter pieces with both elegant descriptions as well as the words you DON'T say, but leave to the imagination of the writer. And can I just say how much it delights me to read some real, good Gambit fic for once instead of still wading through the tweener drivel that shows up here so often? Please, more.

I liked that. The scene with Kitty and Remy was especially cute.

Are you sure the hole in the ceiling wasn't the result of Bobby's prank on Scott, though? ;-)

I swear I used to be more known for my detailed explanatory reviews than my own writing, and yet as I find myself here, the review window open, my fingers dancing across the keyboard, all I really want to type is -swoons-

You keep up 'drabbles' like this and I might not go completely stark raving mad between your updates of The Ante, which, I repeat... THANK YOU for doing.

I got a little funny I want to share about that actually, tomorrow though, I think, as I must sleep and I feel silly about typing it here and even sillier about the notion of pm-ing you yet again tonight. ~_~o

Excellently done. I hope you never stop writing Romy fics.

aw...CUTE!
Pyro!? seriously!? she went on a date with JOHN!? was she loco!?

Wonderful lil' one-shot!! Great work!

I admit I was a little worried about reading this. Judgind from the title, I thought it was another angsty fic. But once I read the genres, I was fine. I know people say you should be subtle when dropping hints about your feelings, but Rogue's too subtle. Subtle enought that Remy never noticed them. LOL Remy's train of thought is so funny. Wonder if those are the only thoughts goin through his head. Charging the card was a fantastic symbol of their trust. Thnks for the story!

REMY & ROMY FOREVER!

good goodness! not only do we have the absolute pleasure of getting something new from you, but something that isn't utterly dripping with angst? ;) not that your angst isn't always welcome, of course, but a nice change. particularly since the title of this piece had me a bit worried, and predicting some pain. so yes, this absolutely made my day.

as usual, a great job. this was short and sweet and funny, but with deeper meanings woven throughout... i loved the scene between kitty and remy (much giggling from me throughout), and especially rogue charging up the card at the end. a hearty 'bravo' to you, my friend! :)
