Summary:
Banner compliments of CrimsonIceGoddess - YOU ROCK my dear!
   
It is amazing how quickly life can resume normalcy after a traumatic event. It's not that the inhabitants of the scenario don't know they are rebounding, but the force of the universe pulls them back into its patterns without their consent. Everything will not be the same, but the normal routine is enhanced, flavored by the bittersweet taste of change or loss in any form.
Bella told me she had once envisioned our lives as the complex pattern of a rug, the colors and textures intermingling, each individual but, when placed together, producing a beautiful creation. If challenged, I would have most likely used a musical analogy. I would have compared our lives to experiencing a musical performance by one of the masters.
Beethoven...Bach...or if you wanted a little strife, Wagner. Most at one time or another had performed their masterpieces within European chapels. I could envision the rise and fall of the notes, as they would weave their spell. The light in the building as it filtered through stained glass, creating a dizzying array of colors. The smell from beeswax candles permeating the room. Modern musical halls lacked this perfect simplicity. Yes...this would have been my analogy.
Little was I to know that Fate had much in store for me. Before she was through with me, I would barely resemble the boy I'd been...
What happens to the Cullens after the Volturi left. Edward and Bella begin life together and face both heartbreak after their lives are irrevocably changed by losses of family and friends, and immeasurable joy as the events of their lives unfold.

Title: Chapter 46: Moments
I have devoured all 46 chapters of this story in less then a day. It is one of the most addictive fanfic's I have ever read.
The thing I enjoy most is the attention to details. The time you must have put into picking gifts, decorating the scenes, flushing out the scenery and dressing the characters had to have been staggering. The level of detail makes me feel like I am standing in the room watching the story unfold.
I also love the humor with which you have graced the characters. Carlisle’s revenge on Emmett had me almost falling out of my reading chair in laughter.
The first half of Chapter 45 was the best. If you are reading this review and have not read that chapter yet... well. READ IT!
Keep it coming. I love your writing. Author's Response: Wow! Thank you so much for the kind review. I'm not sure I've warranted the praise, but I'm glad you at least like the story. The first half of 45 caused me to receive several death threats! :) As I said in several of the reviews - I have a very warped sense of humor at times.
Hope you continue to enjoy!!!!

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - One Shot
Brilliant!!
Summary: Jacob, Leah, Seth, and an adult Renesmee venture out on their own to attend Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, where they discover that they're not the only Quilleute legends on the block.
Written entirely (well, nearly) from Seth's POV.

It turns out that you can turn into a werewolf, get into an epic apocalyptic non-battle with the secret vampire government, and opt into immortality, but there’s still no avoiding mothers who insist on you going to college to further the education you’re not really convinced you actually need. Evidently, Jacob was learning there was also no avoiding fathers who had the same ideas. Not even being an Alpha wolf and at least having a claim at being the de facto chief of your tribe was going to change that.
***
When you only have bad ideas to choose from, you may as well pick the one that comes with a high likelihood of a home cooked meal.

I pulled up to the house with the fruits of my pizza-and-movie-rental run. It was Thursday, which meant beer, pizza, and a movie. I wonder whether Mom and Dad would have pushed college so much when I was a kid if they actually knew how much time I'd spend screwing off.
***
I wasn't entirely sure when my life turned into a B-grade horror movie, but there was no doubt that line had long since been crossed.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10
I am really starting to dig the creepy vibe to the story. Up until now it has been a bit heavy on puppies and rainbows but chapter 10 has taken it to a dark side in a hurry.
Rock the horror out on the last five chapters. I want to be double locking the doors by the end of this one. It has the potential to go the distance. Author's Response: One of the biggest problems I had with this fic after I first wrote it was that I spent too much time getting to the climax and then the climax itself wasn't exciting enough to make it worth the build. Again, this is where big fat enormous thanks go to candymonkeybastard for telling me that and inspiring me to go back and re-write the last third.
Summary: Twenty years after the events of Breaking Dawn, Renesmee explores the definition of self, of self in relation to family, and how to be both an individual and part of something greater. Written as a gift in the Twilight Gift Exchange in Livejournal.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
The point of view shifts were a bit jumbly but otherwise that was a nice little vignette.
