Pairing: Wolverine/Rogue

Why this must be read: Logan travels back in time to make sure that Rogue meets up with the X-Men and stays with them. The story borrows elements from The Terminator, which I consider to be a love story, by the way. It's beautiful and tender, but sad, too. The ending has sort of unsettled feeling to it, like the author wanted to go somewhere else with it, but didn't. Despite that, it's a great read and a beautiful story. Possible age issues, though I think Rogue is legal, just young.


"Amazing" wasn't quite the word for it, she decided. "Unbelievable" or "totally fucked up" seemed like a better way to describe it. She made him repeat the whole thing twice, just so she could be sure she heard him right.

He was here from the future, he said. To protect her. To save her from another guy, also from the future, who was going to try to kill her.

And why did some guy want to kill her? Because she was going to grow up to be a superhero.

No. Way.

He insisted that they knew each other in the future, that he was a superhero, too, and that he'd come back in time to save her.

No. Way.
