Thanks so much! 

I started reading because I wanted a good bella/jacob fic and the whole about her always pouncing on him the second after she did/didnt jump wasn't realistic, plus no one ever really wanted to incorporate that she still did love Edward and I was really hoping for that here, because even after Edward returned she still had this on going struggle of who she truely loved.

Author's Response:

LOL! That's exactly wy I started writing this fic.  I couldn't reconcile the Bella I knew with the one everyone had hopping into bed with Jake during the first five minutes.  It didn't make sense to me, and I kept seeing it happening so differently in my mind. 

Great chapter by the way, I love Jacobs POV's, they're my favorite.

I started reading Breath Again just by chance, a friend of mine told me about another twilighted, having something to do with Edward, because I'm a Jacob fan I went looking for some and came across yours. There are a few about Jacob and Bella but because Breath Again had won some awards I was hoping it would be good, and it didn't disappoint. I haven't read any other ones except for yours, its just written and planned out so well.

I take my hat off to you for all your hard work and making Twilight all that much better!!!!!!!! (well for me anyway. GO TEAM JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Thanks so much!

Interesting chapter! I honestly expected him to be more upset, but I'm glad he wasn't since he didn't need to be! :)How come he couldn't tell if there were still in the house or not?

I actually stumbled across this by simply just looking through the categories. It looked and sounded good! Thought I'd try reading it, and I'm glad I did! I love it!

Jake's observation....well, this is the way I see it.  Bella walked inside, made a call, and then sat down.  Until she gave up on her homework and went upstairs, there would be nothing to hear.  And while Jacob's hearing is better than the average human's, it's not quite on par with vampires who can hear heartbeats through walls or whatever.  Add to that the fact that the vamps' scents were still pretty strong---they'd only left that morning---and Emmett had taken off through the woods to hunt.  Jacob would have been surrounded by their scent and yet hearing nothing.  There was really no way for him to know for certain where they were, but he assumed they were still there.

I just want you to know that I just read all 70 chapters and I LOVE it!  Prob my new favorite story!

Author's Response:

Thank you!  I should have the next one posted tomorrow :)

I started reading Breathe Again when I started googling for the best BxJ fan fic. Almost every thing I came across recommended Breathe Again, and a few provided links here. Now Im one of your biggest fans!

 

Cant wait for the next update!

Author's Response:

Thank you!

"But I had something else that needed to be taken care of first, something for her, and it couldn’t wait."  What the hell! 

I like cliffy's but couldn't you at least give us a clue!!!!!! LOL

As for your question.  I've been with you for a long time.  I love Edward and Jacob. But Edward got Bella in the books.  So when I found this Fan-Fic sight I did a search for Bella/Jake stories and found yours!  Might I add that yours is one of my favorites!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing it with us :)

Author's Response:

LOL! It's nothing bad, I promise!  He actually has two things to take care of, and one of them is kind of obvious if you stop and think about it.  The other one is just Jake being sweet.

I started reading Breathe Again by chance really. I had all of the companion stories in the archives, and that got me curious then I added the Bella and Jacob Chronicles as a favorites series just because I was in the mood to read Bella/Jacob fanfics. Breathe Again was the first story that caught my eye and so I started reading it, and I couldn't stop within like two days I had read all 62 chapters you had posted plus the companion stories. This is a great Fanfic.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much!  It seems everyone ended up on this story through a completely different way...forums, a/n recs, most recent, top tens...but I'm so glad they all did!

New reader here. I just stumbled upon it. And yes, I'm a team edward girl. But love this fic!!!

Author's Response:

Thank you!  It's nice to have some Edward lovers reading it too!

This is the first fic I've ever read and I can't remember how I came to find it! I vaguely remember doing a search for an NC-17 Jake & Bella story.

yay. breathe jake, breathe!

aww, poor jake

I stated reading this story bc I like longer fics. I was looking for something new and you had won a number of awards. Once I started, I really liked your writing style. I never NOT liked jake, but had a hard time finding a beliveable story. I'm worried about him now for when edward comes back. I don't want jake to get hurt, but I like e_b too. Imprinting on someone else?? Merry Christmas

Author's Response:

I know what you mean.  When I first found fanfiction, I was surprised that there were Jake/Bella fics.  It never occured to me that people would write about alternative pairings.  But then I read several, and I usually walked away thinking, "But Jake would never say/do that."  So I just ended up writing one, with the goal of keeping them as true to the original characters as I could.  I didn't want them to be too mature or too alienated from regular teenage life.  I really just wanted to keep the characters and the possibilities alive in my head, and it ended up being this story.
