JOY! JOY! JOY! JOY!

Oh how I loved it! This was the most "fun" of all your chapters yet! You KNOW that I've been a devoted fan to your "MUSIC LESSONS". It's been my absolute favorite since chapter 1. So I just have to say that I was completely and amusingly surprised at the nature of this chapter. It was carefree, freeing, and delightful. It served to bring humor and playfulness to our B&E's lives before the wedding. Oh how I loved this! Everyone's part in it was sooo true to canon...their reactions, their myrth. Just pure joy.

And I thank you for interjecting those delicious moments of lust, fire, and love between our B&E. They were subtle, yet managed to underline the entire chapter with their happiness.

I'm in utter suspense for your next chapter. I can't tell you how much I love this. Bliss. Pure and utter bliss!

Author's Response:

As always, thank YOU for your great, funny reviews - I love them! :)  Glad you liked this chapter - it was a bit out of left-field from the rest of the story, but I couldn't get it out of my head!  I think you'll really like the next chapter(s)...there's one, final music lesson planned that will probably span a few chapters, since it's quickly spinning out of control in length!  Hopefully it'll do the story just as a truly "final" ending.   Thanks again for the review!

I am forever in love. This story has come to be the one I judge all others against. I love it THAT much. And this latest chapter is exactly why.

It had everything. Romance, lust, humor, and most importantly...suspense. And not the kind we usually get with B&E. This suspense is fueled by the ever growing and massing need between our favorite lovers. And it's this suspense that drives this story, pushing B&E's limits to a brink that is both tempting and utterly delicious.

What I love most, though, is how Edward is at his Bella's mercy. Very rarely did we ever get to see this in S. M.'s work. It was most often the other way around, Bella depending on Edward for not just her protection, but her heart's life in itself.

With MUSIC LESSONS, we are able to savor an Edward that not only needs and craves his Bella physically, but an Edward whose very life thrives on her love for him. It humbles him, makes him nervous, makes him excited and terrified all at once. He lives on her every word, breathes in time to the beats of her heart, and tenses in exictement at her very touch. This is all a thrill to me. To see that Edward BELONGS to Bella, just as much as Bella BELONGS to him.

Every word you write is the sweetest form of release for them. You create moments for them that just perfect enough to render them speechless, forcing them to bend willingly to the rapture that awaits them with each new chapter.

And my dear, I cannot wait for more. And I'm certain that neither can they.

Okay, you get two awards tonight.  The first is for being the first one to review the latest chapter (yay!)

Sometimes I can't get over just how incredible this is. And how incredibly happy it makes me. I know that I celebrate your writing all the time. I even think I repeat myself sometimes. I just can't seem to find the words to convey why I love M.L. so much.

But here, tonight, I think I've had an epiphany. You see, I read dozens and dozens of fanfictions in a week. I follow them with dedication, and some almost religiously. What I realized is that most (if not all) of these are either all filled with angst, suffering, drama, horror, comedy, or all of the above. And few actually make me happy. And I mean jus that...happy.

But with M.L., I find that happiness in every single word you conjure up for our beloved B&E. When I get the notice that you'v updated with a new chapter, my heart actually jumps for joy because I KNOW that I'm about to experience something completely wonderful again. And here's the kicker: ALL TRUE TO CANON.

I don't need to jump into any parallel universe. I can live and breathe the glory of S,Meyer's work, and do so in this wonderful story you have created. S. Meyer, herself, would be tickled pink with pride.

Your Edward is OUR Edward. He is the same romantic, inexperience, nervous, gentlemanly, and oh so sexy Edward we've all fallen in love with. His voice in MIDNIGHT SUN echoes beautifully in M.L. And you manage to stay so true to character that it is for this very reason that my heart stutters over every divine scene.

The music, the gentle rocking of the boat, the sounds of heavy breathing, the weight of each moment's tantalizing gravity....it's all Heaven on Earth. And oh, how I love it, woman.

I. LOVE. IT. (Almost as much as I love Edward. I said almost. Edward is...well....sigh....EDWARD).

I cannot wait for more. Seriously, it's all kinds of wonderful. I bow to it in reverance. And once again, I sigh....

Author's Response:

Thank you, thank you THANK YOU again.....my favorite Twilighted reviewer!  :)

I find it amazing that I come away so happy and completely satisfied after every single chapter. I'm either grinning like a fool, panting in lustful heat, or sighing in a blissful slumber. This chapter had me floating in all three!

I can't say anything i haven't told you countless times already. I love this. EVERY. SINGLE. WORD.

Sheer Heaven is what it is. And B&E deserve nothing less. I exhale in complete surrender.

Author's Response:

As always, THANK YOU for all of your kind words!  And I promise to turn up the heat in the next chapter once they're safely anchored in Griffin Bay.  Then Edward won't have anything else to occupy his time with, except Bella and her flirting.  Gosh, I feel so bad for those two......not!

I am seriously about to combust, implode, expode...ALL AT ONCE! The sexual tension you create is so hungry and yet, comforting, that it constantly leaves me in a state of complete surprise.

Let me explain. The hunger that B&E have for eachother is sublime. You never push things to a point that their characters abandon their Canon counterparts. It never feels rushed or forced. What it does is build up this delicious sense of need and want, all laced with B&E's love and passion. We're given this fleeting moment to savor the beauty of what B&E share with one another. And I thank you for that.

As for how this is comforting, well, in all honesty, it brings much needed relief from the angst, desperation, and urgency we most often endure with other fanfictions. Not that we don't want to experience all of that. These feelings themselves are wanted by us. But it is your "MUSIC LESSONS" that let's us BREATHE. We inhale and exhale, all in a silent whisper of praise to the magic you've given our beloved B&E. It is utter relief and sheer bliss.

And so in my whisper, I once again sing your praise. Exhale...

Author's Response:

And why aren't you writing your own fanfic again?  Seriously - if you write reviews like this, you should be writing stories too!  ;)

You did it. You actually did it. You’ve managed to end MUSIC LESSONS with the same love, need, devotion, and all consuming want that has blessedly graced every single one of its glorious chapters. And my heart is broken that it’s ended at all.

I can’t begin to tell you how rare, if not impossible, it is to come across a fanfiction that is as completely satisfying as is “ML”. NEVER ONCE did I ever think to myself “now THAT wouldn’t’ happen”, or “B/E would NEVER do/say that”, or even “this just ruined it for me”. I’m still in awe at what you have achieved. And I so thank you for it all.

I admit that I was nervous about the “twist” you were going to pull in the end. Never uncertain of you, mind you. Never uncertain. I’ve always had 100% faith in your work. But I was nervous at how you were going to pull off an ending that would fit the canon of the saga, and yet be able to stand alone in it’s creativity and worth. Again, I salute you!

Bella’s fall was just right for the moment. And Edward’s subsequent remorse, self-flagellation, and inner turmoil were PERFECTLY written and true to character. I was heartbroken for them. I felt and shared Bella’s disappointment and self blame for “ruining the moment”. I understood Edward’s newly resurrected fear of hurting his Bella. And most fiercely, I reveled in their determination to overcome all the obstacles, uncertainties, and fears they had in order to consummate their love. Their NEED to consummate their love is based not only on lust and desire, but their ever-growing desperation to physically demonstrate to the other, once and for all, just how much they loved and cherished them. They had already spoken every word to declare their undying love to each other. They had already demonstrated to one another the inability to live without each other. And they had already cemented their future together in their commitment to marry and be joined forever through Bella’s eventual change. Their hearts were well aware of all this. But their bodies would now demand affirmation of this commitment.

“It felt like time stood still as we carefully moved forward, kissing, caressing - falling slowly into the opium of our passion.” �“ This will ring true through all time for B&E. And it is thanks to you that they were allowed to share such pure, innocent, romantic, and dizzying moments of sheer bliss together. I thank you, thank you, thank you for that.

Truly, you wrote something that is just lovely. A beautiful tribute to our beloved Bella and Edward. And now, I genuflect in your honor. We all do.

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

Author's Response:

Thank you VERY much.....your reviews really do mean a lot to me!  I'm so glad you liked the ending....it was sad having Edward do and say what he did, but it was true to his nature - even if some of us didn't agree with it!   I really think this is what would have happened, and what could have derailed their "boundary extending" right before the wedding (as well as make Edward freak out so badly on the honeymoon).  Just my opinion of course, but it seemed plausible in my mind....

BEAUTIFUL. ROMANTIC. ABSOLUTELY DIVINE. This was sheer Heaven. You have given our beloved B&E a wonderful gift...the gift of surrender. At long, long last they have come to know the beauty of what it is to succumb to fate and surrender their needs to each other. And it was done so romantically. Just gorgeous writing, my dear.

"As she pledged her love to me again within a breathless cry, I felt myself fall to pieces, my apocryphal soul unchained at last and rising from the ashes of my self-exiled existence. It floated above my physical body, marveling at the beauty of our conjoined limbs, but even more so at the tangibility of our everlasting love. Sighing deeply, and with the purest purport, I laid my forehead against hers, drinking in her intoxicating breath and feeding her mine."- I have never read such a delicately poetic illustration of their physical release before. It moved me to tears. I truly, truly loved it. Thank you so, so much for that.

I cannot wait to read your "Betting with the Cullens" chapter (or story if it's a seperate side-shot). That in it of itself is going to be thrill to read.

But as you well know, my heart lays in anxious waiting for my win of your rendition of the wedding and honeymoon. And believe it or not, I can't wait to see what music choices you decide to lace the soundtrack of the wedding ceremony and reception with.

Oh, sweet Lady, I can only imagine the majesty that will come to be. B&E can't possibly anticipate the beauty that is to come for them through you. Even our Alice would bow to your hand!

I loved this AU to MUSIC LESSONS. But I adored your original ending. The fact that they held on to each other and weathered the storm that was their passion in order to preserve the magic of their wedding night, is what I think serves as the epitome of B&E's love. It transcends all things, even their lust (as consuming as it is). Their love is stronger than anything else....ever. And THAT is why their need for each other frames the EPIC love story that is their fate, their destiny, their forever.

Bravo, my dear. I wait with bated breath for what I know is to come....BLISS. God speed.

Author's Response:

Thank you very much - but I'm still sitting here wondering when you're going to write something!  Your reviews alone are reason enough to take the plunge and write your own fanfic!  I'll be the first to read it - trust me! ;)

DAMNIT! MORE! Just when it was getting AMAZING! MORE PLEASE! WOO-HOO!

Author's Response: Sorry, that's the end of this story.  But there will be more coming on Music Lessons....

WONDERFUL. I can't wait for more chapters. Your writing is just that,,,,wonderful. Please post more chapters ASAP. I wait in baited breath...�

Author's Response:

Thank you so much, I'm very flattered. Chapter 2 has been submitted, just waiting for validation now.

:)

Oh! One more thing! I love that it's in EPOV! I don't know why, but his POV is always so much fun! I hope you keep a lot of it EPOV! Woo-hoo!

Author's Response:

At the moment I am planning on keeping it EPOV, because he reads minds so he knows everything thats going on! It also makes for longer chapters. And cause hes just so fun!

^.^

By the way, please keep it as EPOV! It's just sooo much more fun that way! Woo-hoo!

Author's Response: At the moment, the seems to be the direction I'm headed. He's just too fun to resist XD  

I loved this chapter! But I have a couple of questions. When exactly was it that Jasper was manipulating B&E's lust for eachother? Just in the cafeteria? I hope so. 'Cause that would mean that their lust wasn't exactly as poweful as it seemed. And THAT would be disappointing. Also, how exactly is Bella gonna get back at Emmett? That could be fun!

As for a lemon possibility....GO FOR IT! It's just that it almost seems like you have to since you've set it up that B&E's lust for eachother is actually WORSE than Rose and Emmett! They need some kind of "release"! Or they'll explode! But you don't have to go too graphic or anything, if it makes you uneasy or nervous to write it. Rated R is just fine, even though B&E seem like they're more than ready for some NC-17 action as soon as that bell rings for the end of the day! And to think they've got 4 more days to endure, right? Are you going to do the rest of their week? You can set up soooo many scenarios! Swimming (like you mentioned), field trips, movies in class, etc! Also, we've just gotta see who cracks first! Nessie & Jake or B&E!

Whichever way you go, it's still the most fun I've ever had in reading a fanfiction! Definately one of my all-time post BD missing moments! I LOVE IT ALL! Please post more asap, and Merry Christmas!

To say I'm hooked is an understatement. WOW. WOW. WOW.�
I loved Edward's reaction to seeing Bella look up into the sun, realizing how beautiful she is. Just lovely. I absolutely cannot wait to read more. Please post more ASAP!�
