I always hated the way they (cullens) just 'accepted' imprinting. This insight makes that feeling a 100x worst. Carlise is so passive its to the point of retardation. Rosalie seems to be the only rational thinker in the group for the moment. {Btw, why did she have such a hard time w/ jacob in human form??? [bad writing]}. She was the only one that put up a fight, everyone else seemed to just say, thats weird and move on. The phucking emotional leech, just moved from mother to daughter and 'its ok'. I always hated SM for that. She might have thought it was cool but I sure as hell hated the idea. Too Sick, and now this smelly mutt is going to be around stinking up the place. They are all far to 'passive' to believable. Even if one idiot just accepts, there should be more voices of dissention. Clearly the so-called 'peace treaty' is built in the favor of the wolves. They are over the cullens all the time, but the cullens don't go to the rez now do they?. At least they should be in the house smelling up the joint. Again, too passive to be logical.

I love this story. You have captured Edward's character perfectally, in my opinion. Please continue this story. I would love to know more of the way it happened through Edward's eyes. -_^

I hope you put out the next chapter soon. Please do finish the story. I really like alot

are you going to finish this story?

Wow, the washing of Bella was so tearfully beautiful.

Tender, woeful, amazing

Very Very nice piece of writing!

Thank you for a sweet moment like this!!

 "I had to argue with far too many airline bureaucrats, each the supervisor of the last, each trying to tell me that what I was looking for—a flight to Seattle, not to the moon, for heaven’s sake—was “impossible”.  Don’t try and tell me what’s impossible, I felt like screaming at them.  In my world, nothing seemed to be impossible any more, unless it were my continued peace of mind.  That, surely, was the one thing that appeared to be truly impossible."

This was so "Edward" that it made me smile-even though it's heartbreaking!  And the conversation/argument he had with Kaure was devastating!  OMG.  I may not be able to handle BD from Edward's perspective!  But I'm in too deep to quit reading now-it's so well-written.

It's hard to believe it was hard for you to write-it was beautifully done!  You have captured Edward's bliss-turned-to self-loathing perfectly.  It's heartbreaking to read about it from his point of view.  Perfect bliss turned into agony for him.  How hard, as a man, it must be for him to resist her advances for the next several days! 

Again, beautifully written.  I may just have to re-read this chapter...you know, for further critique...no other reason. Definitely not because it was sexy as hell. ;-)

Aw-that was lovely!  The descriptions were beautiful!  Now, can't wait to read about the confrontation with Jacob. 

Loving this so far!  Looking forward to more.

Oh My!!

Well, first, I have to apologize.  I'm horrid at replying chapter-by-chapter to a WIP.  I just get too caught up.  But, in your case, stopping to reply would have been a downright crime.  I simply cannot get over how amazingly you captured our beautiful Edward.  He's simply perfect.  And, personally, I'm so grateful to have his experience of some of those moments.  Seeing Bella coming down the aisle, that first night on Isle Esme, the second night on Isle Esme (lol, quite a nice touch by the way), the first time he hears Ness, when he holds her and talks to her.... good gods, woman but I was in tears.

Granted, there were some tears for other reasons.  I simply cannot process Edward's pain and those moments when it seems he's going to break just wreck me.  The moment Bella goes running for Rosalie in the airport, I'd like to have killed her right there.  His frustration with and utter hatred of Rosalie are just palpable and make me want to try just once to light her pretty blonde head on fire. 

In summary, you are quite the amazing writer and I feel blessed to have gotten to share this.  I do hope you finish it, as I am frankly looking forward very much to seeing how you handle the Volturi, the battle and the future.  Very very very well done.  Thank you so much.

Author's Response:

Thank you for your lovely, detailed review!  I have to admit being total fail at updating lately...the inspiration has utterly left my body and been replaced by writer's block.  But I have promised myself I WILL finish this sucker, so don't worry, it will happen soon.  Reviews like yours do help motivate me. :)  Thanks for reading.

wow.......you have to keep writing this story......please!
