I'm so curious about this story. I've wanted to read it for a really long time. It's too bad I didn't do it sooner. Your words are amazing...

I know this is completed but I'll leave you a few reviews during my journey of reading your work. I think you deserve that.

This was such a fantastic story. Intense, complicated and sometimes hard to read (all in a good way), i loved every single chapter of it.

Amazing work.

I want to thank you for the story and tell you that I admire your talent and skill as a writer. I am greatful for the entertainment and emotion that I have expierenced because of your writing, you have given me something of yourself, and I appreciate it greatly. Now, I have to ask... are you kidding me? REALLY?!?! I won't say that I didnt love  the story, becuase I did, very much. I laughed, and cried, and felt the pain along with the characters.I have loved reading it and relishing all the literary and muisic refrences. Your description of addiction and relationships with those who have addiction are spot on beautiful, and strike a familiar chord that touches me. All wonderful things. But,I spent the entire second half of the story waiting for the passionate reunification... I understand that leaving it where you have shows difference in their relationship, and I appreciate the implied promise of a thoughtful, cautious, stability between the two characters, but COME ON! I feel so... unfulfilled. No hot reunifications sex? Bella never has the earth moving, mind shattering, soul clenching "O" while in the arms of and through the act of making love with Edward?

 I just cant understand how there isnt a need for an outake to let this happen... I wish I were in a position to demand, but instead I find myself full of gratitude and appreciation.

Thank you for reading and leaving such a nice response to the story.

To address the issue of no hot, get-back-together, monkey sex....

I realize that a lot of people were expecting/wanting it, but - to me - adding it would have been completely out of character for the story. It would have been cheap.  And I wanted the story be more open-ended, to suggest potential for more but not make it explicit. I don't expect that to be a satisfactory answer, but that's all I got. =)

I find it quite humorous that Bella is a socialist who doesn't like to share.  :)

I. Love. Your. Story.  Thank you for taking the time to write it and post it, Estar

I like that you've made Seth and Mike good guys.  Their characters are refreshing compared to the norm they usually get.  I'm diggin it.  Thanks

wonderful writing as always, my absolute favourite fanfic of all time, hands down. Estar

Author's Response:

Thank you! You're so complimentary I don't really know what to say. =)

I hope the rest of the story continues to interest you.

o this is not good ..the situation that is the story is fantastic!!

Loved it.  The conversation was just perfect.  Clearly showed both their embarrassment without constantly having to say it.  Perfect. Estar

I'm spending the day reading this and ignoring my kids it's so good.  Your writing is just so consistently good.  Love the way your characters are developing. Estar

This is some of the best writing I've read on this site by a long way.  You manage to hold the tone and style throughout the piece while avoiding cliches and most importantly, the reader is able to maintain some level of sympathy for Edward despite his behaviour.  Thank you for posting your story, Estar

Beautiful, beautiful ending.  Thank you so much for sharing this story with the fandom!  And thank you for leaving it up for people like me who just didn't have the time before.  I hope you are proud of what you have done here.  I would be.  Thank you for not making it a cookie-cutter ending.  For making it realistic but romantic just the same. 

I'm so glad I took time out this week to read this.  I loved it.

Author's Response:

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again for all of your reviews. It's been fun watching you get through each chapter.

The Revival of the Friendship.  Loved it.  Keeping it real, keeping it Bella & Edward.  The puzzles made me laugh, as did the sliding on the packed snow.  I love both of those things :) And I want to know how this ends...So....NEXT! :)
