Review:
After X-Men 2, Logan goes on the road. He and Marie e-mail each other while he's gone.

It's amazing what an author can do with a really well-written epistolary fic. There were times this story nearly moved me to tears, and other times when I laughed out loud. Marie's youth and determination shine through, as does Logan's gruff affection and blunt language. I do wish the author hadn't brushed aside the whole Marie-touching-people issue, but it's a very minor quibble in an otherwise great fic.

Oh great, it's on FFN :) The version I had bookmarked was on the Wayback archive.

I generally dislike epistolary fic, but this is one of the very few I've enjoyed. I love the pairing too.

I only like epistolary fic if it's really, *really* well done. And fairly short:)
