My brain is blown. I can't even...even! The world is so rich, i can't even believe that this isn't Canon. This is what an ongoing Gambit series would look like, SHOULD look like. So wild! The logic and emotion is so, reasonable, lol, it makes so much sense. And the research! Wow all the science! I hope you are well and that still think on this story and take some pride and gratification of how much this story is enjoyed still, even unfinished. I'm very saddened that it hasn't continued, but i feel so satisfied with such a wealth of emotional background! That being said, if you were to ever continue i would be overjoyed. Just, thank you for the read, and for sharing this. I hope your day is awesome

OmGAWD, heartbreaking!

Every few years, I come back here. I start with Blind Sight, and end up here. I’m a therapist with little girls of my own. I first read Blind Sight before my “ grown” life started. And it always takes me back to a simpler time. And for that, I thank you

Your writing is such a joy to read. Kudos to you and your editors.

This fic is SO. SATISFYING. I love the effort that’s gone into world-building - the nitty gritty of the workings of the Guilds, OZT, prime sentinels, even the media. I honestly think it’s better than canon. Thank you so much for writing this.

Insanely well-written! You don’t know how invested I am in this.

This is the best chapter yet in this epic

Every few years I come back and read ValerieJ’s stories. They are so good. I think I’ll always be hoping for an update.

.goodness! It has been years since I read that story and now to find it again and to realise just how many new chapters have been added since then! I am blown away. I thank you for the many hours of being able to dive back into that universe and to enjoy a good old X-Men story (which makes me wonder where I stored my box of comics from back then) Hopefully one day we will be reading the (happy-) end, too!

I think this my 4th or 5th re-read at this point. As always, I found something new to notice and spent many enjoyable hours lost in the Theives Guild. Your work has such power, such magic. The pull back to it is nearly irresistible and I never find myself fighting the siren call back to it. Thank you for putting such effort into your creation, it is truly a thi g of beauty. I hope you and your loved ones are well.

I can't count the number of times I've read this from start to where you left off and every time I find something new to love about it. I know it's been 5 years but should you decide to return to this story know you would have a thrilled reader in me. Hope you are well.

Miss your writing so much. Hope things are well for you and the kids. I worry sometimes that something happened to stop you from writing. If so, I hope it was something good (like you just got too busy living life to write fic). If you get bored during the pandemic and decide to pick at some fic, you’ll always have readers here :)

You are a fantastic writer! I have throughly enjoyed this story and its prequel. Please continue them!

Just finished yet another reread of my favorite fanfic story arc of all time. I’m still drawn in by the drama, humor, character development and story, every time. I haven’t given up hope that some day we might find out how the story ends. If there were a GoFundMe for the last chapters I’d contribute in a heartbeat. In any case, thanks again Valerie for sharing your talent and vision with us all. It’s been a pleasure.

I discovered your stories about a year ago and absolutely adore your Romy stories. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve read and re-read ‘Blind Sight.’ Your story has become the standard to which I hold other Romy stories.

Your version of the Thieves Guild is fascinating and complex. Most times when I read other versions of the Guild (especially in the comics), I find myself comparing those versions to yours and wishing yours was the canon version.

I appreciate how you write the characters and their dynamics with each other. I love how Remy is certain he is going to lose everything, but is proven wrong time and time again. Rogue and Remy’s relationship is sweet and complex and passionate. The time they spend together in their apartment is some of my favourite domestic moments throughout all versions of their story. I love how your reveal of Remy’s involvement in the Mutant Massacre is used to strengthen the team and Remy’s place in it rather than tearing them apart. And how Remy goes from being an untrusted, semi-outsider, to a integral part of the team's leadership. It's just, wow... There are so many things I appreciate about this story I can't name them all.

I really do love this story. It is amazingly thought out and well written. I will keep coming back to it again and again. While I would love to read the conclusion to this story someday, it has been an honour to read it as is. I want to thank you for writing this and sharing it.

I hope you are still writing. You are a wonderful writer. I would follow your writing outside of fandom. Thank you so much! 3 3 3
