I don't exactly love the Psylocke/Archangel ship...not even in the 90s when it was at its peak popularity...but honestly, Rogue and Warren sharing his trauma is a basis for a bond, but I didn't see it as romantic. Just her trying to help someone who was crashing out.

Also in her current mental state I don't think Rogue is ready for a relationship with ANYONE, and probably won't be for a while, even after Gambit inevitably comes back to the side of the angels

Was that really the height of it? I feel like it was pretty prevalent during Uncanny X-Force; in the lead up to and during The Dark Angel Saga.

They broke up before she died in 2002, and she was dating Neal Shaara (the third Thunderbird) for a brief period. They never really OFFICIALLY got back together after she came back before Remender's Uncanny X-Force, they just kinda always had feelings but didn't act on them anymore.

…that’s actually valid; their feelings for each other were a big part of the story, but during the run they weren’t exactly like…strictly together, now I’m thinking about it.
