The Rogue and Gambit Neutral Zone. A happy place.

I'm happy they are separated (room to grow outside of a unstable relationship) but still a huge part of me loves seeing them together. James Asmus showed how fun and flirty they are even when broken up, and in the end I want them to grow old together.

WOOO, thank goodness somebody restarted this thread...I had an enormous panic attack at first, lol! Is there any way we can save or repost all of the wonderful art and links from the original thread?

Glad to see all that made the jump to the new CBR- of course my first new post would have to be in the Romy thread

Just a few picture contributions.. I suck for not being able to credit all the original artists, I'm sorry. Hopefully they know how awesome they are

Tell me about. I have to read Superman/Wonder Women for a good romance.

So, I'd like to hear everyone else's opinion on this subject if you have a moment: Why do you suppose Rogue always pushes Gambit away? I may be wrong, but I'm under the impression that he will always love her, and would do just about anything if she'd admit she (still) loves him too. It's obvious from the Gambit series that she still has feelings for him, but apparently they're not as strong as his and/or she refuses to act on them.

Why do you think that is? (And no blaming bad editors who decide to throw 180° angst-ridden plot twists to keep Anna & Remy apart- enough writers have done it that I have to say that Rogue's reticence must have an actual cause).

I love the pairing. its one of the reasons she and him are in my top 5. I love them seperate as well.

So, I think, when Rogue couldn't control her powers, it made some sense for her to want to keep her distance in the relationship. Or, at least, it was a plausible (albeit slightly frustrating) excuse. Thus, the constant back and forth. However, now that she has had control for awhile, I'm just not sure. It seems like she uses every excuse in the book. "I need me time", "I can't control myself around you", "I'm living vicariously through Legacy", etc. Honestly, for me, her entire characterization took a hit when she gained control, and she just hasn't been the same since. (I know, I know, I can't blame editorial.) So, since her portrayals recently in Legacy, UA, X-Men, and Gambit have been so different from one another, I'll just say that she is probably a very confused woman.
