As always the update is amazing.  I not only feel entertained but educated, it is so refreshing to read something that makes me think, I love having my mind stretched to encompass the philosophy and moral ambiguities.  It is wonderful seeing Edward develop and 'grow up', for him to realise he can't control everything (which is of course the aim of perfectionism).   Thanks for updating so quickly though of course it could never be fast enough for me.

BTW I never realised the Hippocratic oath was so detailed, i always imagined it was just a one sentence thing.  It was very interesting and thought provoking.

I am enjoying reading this immensely.  So far the plot is very similar to 'Bonne Foi' but the feel is completely different.  The third person perspective works very well and the language creates a seductive, sensuous, dream like quality.  I look forward to following this.  Thank you so much for sharing your hard work and creativity.

I was so glad to get this alert.  I was beginning to worry that you had abandoned this story, which would be such a shame.

Like your other reviewer I can see a distinct difference in your EPOV and BPOV but for me it works very well.  They have distinctively different voices that speak of their different characters and backgrounds.

Bellas narrative is much more flowing and reflects her more empathetic and nurturing nature whereas Edwards is more egocentric, with the stitlted cadence of someone not particular interested in humanity.

I am hoping that updates will be more frequent now but understand that you have a RL too, so thank you for what you share with us.

Thank you for the update, I had forgotten how much I missed it but I think I may have to go back and reread to remind myself.  I do so very much enjoy it.

Wow.  Just...wow.

I have only recently discovered this story.  I had avoided it for sometime thinking it was a story about the temptation of a virginal and righteous prson but the reality so much more complex and enthralling.

However part of me wishes I hadn't discovered this until it was completed as I would have liked to read it to the end without waiting.  Having just had a marathon read I am now feeling withdrawn, wanting more.

The characterisation and pacing are just exquisite.

Being one of the Ravelry UU fangirls I had a little squee at the mention of yarn (I know - little things...).  I am having a little fun there with this fic at the moment.  We have an ongoing game 'Name this fanfic' and it is my turn to give clues and teasers.  I have been going through the story trying to pick out interesting bits that wont give it away too easily.  I think it will be guessed quickly though once the US wakes up and more of us get online.

I am sorry to here RL is difficult at the moment.  I am happy to wait for an update if it continues to be as rivetting as it is so far.

Thank you for sharing.

Amazing update, so very complex.  I love that you are avoiding all the cliched story lines.  Thank you.

Love it so far, looking forward to the back stories coming out.  Hope the wait for more isn't too long.

Author's Response: Hope not either - working on it - stupidly have 2 stories going at once so am posting them alternately. This one's on top right now tho and only 1 chap to go with the other so this'll get priority soon.

I forgot to say previously that I think the connection being via music was inspirational since it communicates on inspirational levels - intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

BTW - love the banner

Ok I guess I am turning into a stalker fangirl, since I am rereading and leaving yet another review. 

Firstly I wanted to say how i have realised how this all seems to be unfolding in my head like a film it is very atmospherically visual and I can hear all the the sounds the metallic echoes...

Secondly on rereading the story thread about Bella continually attacking Edward while captive(?) reminds me so much of a storyline in Battlestar Galactica (one of my absoute favorite shows).  Kara Thrace is being held captive by the cylon Leoben (who 'loves' her and is convinced she will return his feelings) everytime he gets too close she kills him (or she makes as if to seduce him and kills him) being cylon he resurrects and the whole thing starts again, over and over... It is unclear as to whether she has feelings for him (oh and some time before she had brutally tortured a previous incarnation of him).

Hey - at last it's up!

Now it's all happening, I like how resourceful and focussed this Bella is, I can almost see her leading the resistance Sarah Connor style.

One thing I wondered about though.  In the flashbacks the vampire is referred to as the man but in the 'present' she tends to refer to them as creatures.  Is this deliberate signalling some kind of loss of innocence happening at that point?

One other thing which I think might be totally irrelevant.  Do you have a time setting for this story, i.e. is it vaguely contemporary?  It feels to me as though it might be futuristic or in some 'out of time' scenario.

Hugs for getting this out here.  You know what I think from my ff review so I wont repeat it here, just looking forwad to waht comes next.

You like RPatz smoking?  I think I said on the forum it was from Haunted Airman which so your sort of thing except maybe the spiders.  Do like spiders?
