elusiV, Ch. 1

What an interesting and totally original concept! The vampires known and active members of the community at large. I like how you have already teased us with the idea that they are dangerous, while leaving us questioning if they are being set up.

I look forward to where you go with this!

A House of Cards, Ch. 24

Wow. Like everyone else, didn't see this one coming. I am left with mixed feelings about this direction. When I first started the chapter, I thought, man...she forgave him pretty easily, but then I just attributed it to her personality. Then WHAM! So, I thought, Trish gave them some resolution, because she was offing Bella.

It was torturous watching Edward have to make all those tough decisions about his friend. I can't imagine the pain of being someone's medical proxy. I know I am in reality, but hope it all comes down to, "They are 103 and can't breathe on their own" type of decisions. That scene rattled some skeletons for me.

Now Edward believes he has found the person/meaning of love, but has it come at way to high a cost? Will Jasper be able to get past Bella's death? Will Edward? I can't help but think, that if this does form into a relationship, even in the long run, it will never be just between two people. It will always contain the ghost of the third.

Sleepers, Awake: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Ch. 20

Sometimes I hate it when I am right.

Interesting twist on canon having Bella have to choose between Jacob and Edward, but not who she will give her life to, but who she will GIVE life to. You twisted, saucy minx.

I hate when I forget to call my dad when I tell him I will call. I feel like the biggest horse's ass ever. Undeserving daughter. You get the picture.

Shotgun Charlie, Ch. 41

This is how the honeymoon should have been in canon. I loved the part with her taking the single bite of the lobster to find the table up ended, and a feral Edward standing before her! Sign me up!

The mixture of enjoying their environment with enjoying each other was perfect. We truly saw two lovers emerge as a couple. We should all get this type of honeymoon. Maybe I can get it for 20 years...

Evading the Orbit, Ch. 4

I can't imagine the unhappiness caused by living your life by someone else's rules, and your happiness being based on someone else's expectations. To be an adult, and always think of "what would X think" whenever I make a decision about my life or happiness. Edward needs Carlisle.

This is going to be such an interesting journey to watch Edward make. The downside is that I think Jasper is going to be an emotional victim in this whole ordeal. I hope I am wrong.

All I Ever Knew, Ch. 20

I had to set the computer down and laugh for a good five minutes over 'dongbush' before I could continue reading this chapter. Where the fuck did you unearth that term? I don't remember that from the Gillette instructional video on manscaping.

I've missed these boys. I especially loved the moments after Edward tackles Jasper. There is so much joy in that moment, playing, teasing, and loving.

Finally, I love that Jasper wants to be completely in the emotional open with the people he loves before taking that final physical step with Edward. It will make the moment so much more powerful if they are emotionally unfettered by any question of acceptance.

Mr. Horrible, Ch. 32

While you unquestionably will make me laugh with this story, with genius moments like "Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.", when you throw in a line like "I should have known I would fuck everything up. God knows I always do." in the middle of the funny, it is a sucker punch straight to the jaw...or stomach in my case.

I wasn't prepared for the tear up. ::clears throat, wipes eyes::

So, now that I am sobered up, I am glad they are communicating with the powers that be, and are finding a compromise.

Loved Mama McCarty.
