Title: "Palm Springs Conversation"
Author: Victoria P., at Achromatic and [livejournal.com profile] musesfool.
Characters: Wolverine/Rogue
Prompt: 37. Make-up
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium
Brief summary: Again, all in dialogue! And they have a fight, and Wolverine flirts with a girl, but Rogue flirts with the bartender, and then there is a bar fight, and then they make up. Very cute and funny.

"Don't even think about puttin' the radio on, Marie."

"But--"

"No. Last time I had nightmares about the freakin' Septic Octogenarians or whatever that crap was you made me listen to."

"It was very avant garde, Logan. It was by a new composer, a piece called, 'Mutant Love.' I thought it was appropriate."

"'Big Ten Inch,' honey, that woulda been appropriate."

"Oh, you're so mature."

Title: "Gravel"
Author: Macha at The Sticky Wicket and [livejournal.com profile] thestickywicket.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue
Prompt: 39. Break-up
Rating: PG-13
Length: long
Brief summary: Rogue has run away to college in New Orleans, following a disastrous affair with Wolverine. Six months after she left the Mansion, Wolverine shows up to apologize. This story is so well-written and descriptive, I swear I felt warmer just reading about the heat in the South. Also, it features Angry but Sad!Rogue, which I always like.

Logan. Logan is here.

She never really thought he'd show up, but there he is, the lines of his body so familiar that something inside of her aches. She wants to throw herself into his arms, she wants to punch him hard enough to break her knuckles, she wants to run screaming away, into the swamp.

Before she can decide which impulse to indulge, he's walking toward her, those beautiful eyes trained on her face. The only thing she can think right now is that she's wearing a crummy old tank top that says "SPY" on it, and Logan's standing in front of her for the first time in six months. A bead of sweat slides down her spine, and she shudders.

"Hey," Logan says, wariness roughening his voice.

Hey? He breaks her heart and lets her run away and six months later his best opening line is Hey!?

Definitely she wants to punch him most.
