Beautifully, poetically, written. Absolutely my favorite story on Twilighted.net.

Looking forward to future chapters. Thank you for the care, effort and love you put into your writing!

This is so very beautiful. You're a wonderful writer!

Author's Response:

Thank you very, very much.  I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

This is completely and utterly wonderful in every way. Love your poetry (it's inspired!) and the gentle, artistic way you move the story forward. Just discovered this today and now it's one of my most favorite, ever.

Please update again soon!

This is beyond wonderful. I adore your writing!

Oh thank goodness, it sounds like Edward's going to man up and tell her how he feels. Enough with all this angst, already!

He needs to read her iPod over her shoulder, or vice versa. Please -- the tension is killing me!

Love the story, especially the poetry!

Oh, at last! I've been longing for and dreading this day!
What a wonderful ride. This story has been a work of intense beauty. Thank you so much!

The most thoughtful, lyrical, beautifully crafted story on the site. I reveled in every chapter. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

This is really interesting. What an original idea. All the other fanfic I've read with an older Edward is AH. It's fun to imagine what kind of a life he would establish if he were an adult and could do as he wished. Now I can read all about it!

So -- he's finally figured it out! Can't wait for the next chapter!

Really beautiful wrap-up. So nice how you switched the plot positions of Edward and Bella (the who saves who). Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!

Thanks for not sparing or glossing-over the after effects of physical and emotional abuse. Everybody responds differently to it, of course ... but maybe your story will help those who have never encountered this nightmare to be a little more sympathetic and understanding toward those who have. It's not something you just "shake off," but can continue to impact and haunt you for years, and if you don't get the proper help and support, for a lifetime.

This story touched me deeply on many levels. It was tough to read the parts where Edward's mom retreated and allowed his abuse to continue, because that could have and would have been my family's world if I hadn't had strong support from my family and friends to grab my kids and run.

Your story was told with such compassion and sensitivity. I do believe it will have positive impacts on many lives in ways you would not have planned or imagined.

Thank you again so much.

Oh! This is wonderful! Really well written, and an original and clever concept. Love it!

Thanks for tackling a difficult subject. This was my life for too many years. It would be terrific if one of your readers had an epiphany and took a new life direction because of this.

On a happier note -- LOVE the story!
