Summary: Charles Xavier has returned from the dead -- but is lost within his own mind. Rogue has cast aside her own power and doesn't know where she fits in the world any longer.

I'm about 3/4s of the way through this and enjoying it tremendously. Along with being a wonderful story, it's a great reading by all seven of you, with a unique touch from each reader but remarkable compatibility in pacing and mixing. Bravo!

Oh, i'm so happy you're enjoying it. I think everyone really made the characters their own, and I tried to match sound levels, though it's fascinating how much background sounds etc differ, even from readers that all sound great. I'd hoped that the musical intersections would help make those breaks, so it wasn't too obvious. (I.e., I never realized how loud my background sounds and how high my volume is :) The story all but read itself, and it really was perfect for a collaboration--the chapters are long enough to get used to the readers but not too long that one voice is overpowering everyone else...or so I felt.

Thanks so much for commenting!!!

You guys all did such an amazing job reading this!! I really enjoyed the story (it was fantastic), and I very much love that you had a different reader for each character. Wonderful listen over the past week.

Man, I suck at responding. Good that you know how to reach me otherwise :)

And thank you so much! I was a bit scared of trying to get so many people organized with different voices and schedules and all...and it was such a pleasant experience...I don't wanna do anything but collaborations now :)

[pslasher]

Lol, no worries. I think you've been busy lately? ;)

That would be cool, lots more collaborations!

I haven't even started this, but Logan/Rogue is my OTP, so I will be back to comment when I'm done. :DDDDDDD

I was really excited when I saw that it was in the story. I used to ship Logan/Rogue long before Erik/Charles and, in fact, my first Erik/Charles fic was as a second pairing in one of Yahtzee's stories from after X2 or X3. So I hear you@! Hope you liked :)
