I love this fic. Finally getting caught up and can't wait to see what happens next!

oh man!  can't wait for the next chapter!  please update soon!  this was an intense chapter ending!

I just left you some lovin' on your thread but I need to review because I haven't yet!!

I am so happy I finally read your story.  Everyone had been harping me to do so, and I was all "yeah, yeah... I'll get to it, it's on my list."  then they told me to move it to the top, and thank god I did!!!!  YAY!

Love the originality of the whole thing.  It reminds me of how I used to get reading Sacrifices by Enthralled.

I have to say your Jacob pre-wolf is perfect... the sweet 'innocent' boy who loved Bella.  AND your Jacob post-wost is fantastic!!  He was such an arrogant SOB in eclipse!  That switch in writing his character was spot-on. Kudos!

you'll be seeing a lot more of me now that I am all caught up!  (Sorry about that... I can be persistant!)

Ok, it's twenty past four in the morning and I just finished reading this entire story all the way through.  It totally rocks and now I'm dying for the rest :)  I think your little project to regain your creativity post-grad has succeeded. :)  

 I'll definitely have more to say at a more reasonable hour but one of the things I dig the most about this fic is your obviously intuitive sense of people.  Though the characters are "in-character," they are also incredibly inflected with your sense of the world which is much more nuanced and mature than what you see in the typical fanfic.  As a result of that more sophisticated sense of subjectivity, Bella and Edward seem more true to form in their uniqueness.  They can actually reflect a sense of being "beyond their years".  Additionally, your emotional maturity helps Jacob manage to be sort of ridiculously typical and overly bound to his heart *and* believable and sweet at the same time.

Thanks so much for this... it's a great one to read for someone like me... a little older and far over-educated. ;)  You rock! 

So, for some reason, from the title, I thought this story was about the Volturi guard and I never read it... and then today I actually read the plot summary and thought, well, this could be cool. An all I can say now is WOW. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster reading this today! I've literally laughed out loud, gotten angry, teared up a few times... what an amazing story. Please update soon, I am now addicted to this story! awesome awesome story!!

Y'know what? You've turned me into an angst addict! Seriously - I can't get enough of this story... Loved the whole hysteriBella outburst at the slumber party (and how you portrayed the general  fish-out-of-place-awkwardness of Bella being *at* a slumber party in the first place!)

And just aaargh to the scene with Jake - I went from thinking "Aww bless" when he was desperately trying to imprint on Bella to "Nooooooo" when he started to turn. I can't wait to see how Edward is going to deal with that one...

All I am saying is Jacob had better run.. quickly...now! Another great chapter. I love this story so much. I feel so bad for Jacob - more so in this story than in the books. It was so sweet him trying to imprint on Bella - he loves her so much. But still -- he had better run.

Omg! I want the next chapter like now! That was brilliant! I was hoping something like that would happen instead of the whole "stay away from him" "No, stay away from him!" thing. I loved it! I also love how Bella delt with Mike. What a jerk. Ah! Can't wait for Edward! Is it too creepy to say I love you? Cause I do. For this chapter alone, I love you ^_^

I started reading this story on the first day that you posted it. I knew it would be great and you have not let me down. I now have all my co-workers waiting for updates and we break them down together. It's so much fun. You have taken this story beyond my expectations. It's remarkable! I look forward to every update. You do not disappoint! In this chapter I cracked up with the "girl" time, but at the end you had me on the edge of my seat and in tears because when you break it down we are all "fine" in one way or another. Thanks Oxy you have made a lot of people happy with this story, me included!

p.s i already wrote reviews for different chapters plus one when i favorited this story but i just wanted to beg you to update soon. i have to know what's going to happen. your characters are amazingly well developed.

My original reaction was, "oh my GOD. Please tell me you finished the next chapter already!!!"

But since twilighted.net decided to not take my feedback... I'm going to use this time to construct a more detailed review :)

First of all, this chapter is amazingly well-written. I thought you totally outdid SM's version of Bella's girl's night out.

The thing I love most about this story is how realistic everything feels. You don't do cliches, and I love that Bella doesn't - and is aware when she's hit her max for the day.  

Love Bella's breakdown at the word "fine" and then her actually feeling that way.

I love the cockiness in Jacob when he went to visit Bella at work. He was so SURE he would imprint on her, it was heartbreaking when it didn't happen. I love that Jacob, in wolf form, actually hurt Bella. It's completely believable... and I cannot wait for Edward's reaction next chapter. I actually thought it might be Edward rescuing Bella at the end of this chapter - Quilette treate by dammed. But I'm glad it wasn't. Makes the wait for next chapter all the more suspensfeful.  You totally know that Edward will read in Jessica and Mike's thoughts... Oiy.

Update soon???

 

this chapter (pumpkin patch) had me grinning like an idiot. :D  and at the end when bella acknowledges her own goofy-jess-stanley-lovesick look....it made me grin even wider.

sigh. loooove it.
