Why this must be read: This story, remixed to be from Logan's POV, is the story that sucked me into the fandom. The basic gist is that Rogue grows up while Logan waits patiently, but this story is really about how their established relationship (especially the non-romantic portions) evolves as they grow and mature. You can also read the original story (the link is on the story page), and go back and forth between POVs -- it's an amazingly complete view of the story. At its core, this is a love story about a love that completes, transforms, and ultimately saves Rogue from herself. Also, it made me cry, because, yes, I'm a sucker for romance.

The whole damn school talks about us and wonders just exactly what kind of relationship we have. I know what it must have looked like when Storm and Cyke brought us to the school -- a grown, rough-looking man and a pretty, barely-legal Southern girl. Didn’t help matters when she came into my bedroom to wake me from that nightmare and ended up with three claws through her shoulder, and all they saw of it was Marie in a torn, clingy nightgown and me on the floor, knocked-out cold from touching her.

It’s been a little while since then and it’s clear that Marie isn’t my wh-- well, that we’re not together or anything like that. I might have crossed many, many ethical lines in the sand over the years, but the kid’s just that -- a kid, and I like my women grown, thanks.

So she’s got a crush on me. Big deal.
