I could see Rogue fantasizing about Magneto, as "the one that got away"....

[crabby_lioness]

I can see that. To her he's a fantasy, the charismatic, powerful man who slipped from her grasp. To him she's -- not.

[kiplingkat]

Magneto War #1 she has a dream sequence in which is proposes to her and then he and Gambit fight over her.

[crabby_lioness]

That's where the 'ship belongs. In her dreams.

[crabby_lioness]

Within a year MJ is going to wake up and find her Petey in the shower, wearing a wedding ring....

[foxhack]

But... what about Joseph? T_T

I liked Joseph/Rogue T_T

[kiplingkat]

Joseph, "The Magneto clone without test.." I mean, "spine?" The guy that Rogue walked all over?

[foxhack]

I LIKED HIM SHUT UP

*cries*

[kiplingkat]

Aww. Sorry.

I will shut up.

*shivers* That pic, it just feels so skeevy. I don't know what it is about that pairing that sends my inner red alert off. Some of my friends like it, but something about it has always disturbed me. And I'm a Magneto fan, and awfully fond of Rogue depending on the comic/show. Together, it just seems.. *sighs* I hate not knowing why something sets my red alert off, but this does. :|

Also EXiles had a Rogue/Magneto offspring, Magnus.

[aulayan]

Nothing constructive.

But I just woke up, so reading this at first, I thought the Bold Part was part of the Mike Carey answer and the "As a fellow young woman" part made me go "...Wow. That level of sarcasm will make him an internet pariah."

... Obviously I do need caffeine to make my brain go.

[darkblade]

EXiles being made of characters from alternate universes gets a free pass of weird stuff like that. Normal 616 MU not so much.

[darkblade]

If only. If only.

[iondan]

I will forever ship Rogue and Remy.

Also I hate Rogue's new costume.

[cmic]

Well said.

I don't think there's room in Magneto's life for any real relationship (with a lover, with his children, even with his enemies.) He's far too paranoid, arrogant, and haunted to allow that sort of compromise or vulnerability.

Don't get me wrong: paranoid, arrogant, and haunted are why I'm a fangirl. I think he's fascinating.

[crabby_lioness]

The scarf needs to go. I love scarves, but not for personal combat.

[crabby_lioness]

No matter how mature she comes across in other areas, pursuing this fantasy makes her seem immature.

[crabby_lioness]

He seems to be mellowing over time, but I think he needs a genuine friend or two before a lover.

[pyrotwilight]

I lurped Magnus. WHY DID MY RED-SHIRT FAVORITE DIE?!

[sir_mikael]

I read it the same way (and I've been up several hours :P) but thought he was making some kind of weird harmless whedon-esque joke with the fellow young woman line.

[corrinal]

Well, Rogue's in trouble then. Just ask Lee Forrester.

[joasakura]

:liked Magnus too: I would've liked to have seen more done with him :T

[joasakura]

It's OK. I loved Joseph.

And somewhere in my head Joseph/Rogue/Gambit all worked out somehow without that nastiness in Antarctica.

[halloweenjack]

Nothing that has been, or could be, said to justify Magneto/Rogue could be half as cool as movie-Magneto crooning "I love what you've done with your hair" and Rogue starting to take her glove off in response.
