Wonderful story!

I know it's late, but I don't really care. I suppose it doesn't matter if you don't read this... as I imagine a lot of my comments are like that... Long and annoying but otherwise ignored and only posted for my sanity.

I read your story because it was BellaxJasper and I almost stopped, but I'm glad I didn't.  You have an uncanny ability to write what people really feel, and still protray how they really act.  That's not an ability many writers have, even best-sellers.  I know that part of that may be people helping you write about the depression, but it wasn't just with that... so I know that's it's your writing.  Bella's reactions alone have inspired me, in a weird way, to find someone that will accept me.  

You're right, though, sometimes it just doesn't work, and there's no real reason why... it just doesn't.  But i hope i just know when it's right... Hopefully it won't be too complicated--I have a flair for complicated. 

I have recently been reading Loose Girl by Kerry Cohen (I think that's her last name), if you haven't you should.  It's a memoir about a girl that is addicted to male attention and it highlights a lot of the issues that you talked about in here, and it also spoke to me.  I have not always been a fan of Bella, or here "pushover" ways, but you made it work.  You showed another side of her.  Congrats on that. 

On a more personal level.  I know that you have gotten a lot of people talking about their fights with depression, and I liked especially that you didn't "cure" Jasper.  You can't cure it.  That's a reality that I have to deal with everyday... I am still struggling now to be able to talk about it ever-- I go in extremes, talking about it up front so that I never have to talk about it again, so that people never ask how I feel and I can continue feeling horrible, or never talking about it all.  I think that you captured that sturggle, I don't imagine that I am alone, but I think that it's hard to see from the outiside.  Your writing has made me realize that I do need to go to group again.  Even if I feel like I have control on my life again.  I need this stability, if not because I need to talk about then because I need to know that other people can talk to me. I need to know that I can be trusted. Somehow I have always been there for other people without being there for me too, it would be nice to be able to do both again, to be able to take care of myself while helping people... 

I'm sorry for the rambling... I'm sure that you've gotten a lot of people talking like this, but I wanted to say one thing in particular.  If nothing else, remember this. I will never forget how I felt when I read, "he's about as observant as a dehydrated starfish..."  That made my day, my week... I know it's small, but it made me laugh and I've found that when you find something that you are connected to like I was connected to this... that one thing, will always make you happy-- that line will always make me smile...  

Thanks,

for the story, the laughs, the time you spent, and for making a difference in me, and hopefully how people see addiction and depression.

Always,

well that just got deep really deep really fast!

it is going to get good... i know you are going to bring ed and al in the mix some time

hum come on you have to spill the beans about everything... i hope you fill in the blanks!!  i wanna know what happened.

Great story - I'm usually all for the fluff and less of the angst, but I really liked that this wasn't fluff in a bottle.

 

I really liked the ways you portrayed the characters and their development. I'm usually E/B but do like a bit of J/B every now and then and this was a good one :) Glad they worked everything out in the end and that things are going well for them all! Great fic!

i am sooo looking forward to reading more of this!

This is an awesome story!! I love it! I think it's cool that you, accidentally, put my name in it! My names Tabitha. I'm a huge Jasper and Bella fan and so I guess it was fate that lead me to this story. I'm sappy. Deal With it. ;)  >_<

I really enjoyed reading this story and thank you for sharing. You did a beautiful job of expressing how the characters felt so we could experience it with them but did not drag it out so that it felt painful to read.

After reading the last chapter of Underexposed by Daisy 3853(another wonderful jasper/bella all human fic by a great gal) I was directed to this story and read it in just a few hours.  Absolutely loved it!!!!!  I find myself searching for this pairing alot lately and I don't know what it is that really draws me to them but I know there are probably a few good reasons like his southern draw, being from the south myself it take precedent, and its his whole personality and how authors write him as a good down to earth southern gentleman.  Ya Know?  Just has to compliament you on a job well done.  I know this has been complete for a while but I know it is still good to get good reviews.  Thanks for the great read!!

Hugs, stephanie

(sorry for the plug of another story but she gave yours credit on her own reason for writing her jasper/bella pairing story, so I knew it had to be worth the time to read and she was right!!!  I will plug yours when I get the chance! :)

i noticed it thank you and i tend to be nosy at times. Love the story by the way.

I usually dont read non cannon but I thought I would give this one a shot. I really liked it. Thanks for sharing you thoughts and story.
