seriously. the best or most well-written fanfic i have ever read. EVER. and i've read a lot since i got introduced to reading fanfics around i think march of this year. eversince i discovered twilight fanfics, my whole day pretty much revolved around reading them, so much so that i don't even watch my fave tv shows anymore (and i was super addicted to watching tv shows before!) and i've gotten i think 10-15lbs heavier since i rarely leave the computer anymore to read. but anyways, again, this is truly amazing. it's very organized or proper.. or actually i don't know how to express it correctly. but i've read in one of your earlier author notes that this was nominated for an award about grammar and punctuations and such..something like that. well i most certainly agree with that nomination and i wish it was you that won! i've read IVO too and i mean no offense to the writer of that but i seriously think this should have won. i really have no words. not just with the grammar and all. but the way you present the ideas, the sides, the arguments or discussions, the way everyone and everything turned out..it just simply took my breath away because most of them i didn't even think of. i'm not really very imaginative myself, but since i've read lots of twilight fanfics already, i've come to expect plots and twists and such. but here, everything is just very original and I REALLY REALLY LOVED IT. from how the cullens fell apart after the victoria thing.. how they realized they were just sort of pretending and not facing underlying problems that they have.. to bella being a paraplegic and having her falling in love with someone else and marrying him. for bella to actually sort of stop loving edward.. most of the other fics, even if bella had moved on, she still loves edward there. here, she hates him and you had them forgive, forget, become friends before bella fell in love with edward all over again. it's amazing. i also love what you did with rose's character here. i must admit i'm not really a huge fan of hers in the original saga. but the way you made her here, i absolutely adored her. seriously. everything was just perfect. usually with other fics, there would be some parts of the story that i would dislike but here, i love them all. also usually i don't really read canon because i found myself confusing it with the real books. so i just read all-human fanfics mostly, like 90% i think. even if i sometimes read fics which feature the cullens as vampires, it's AU so i don't confuse them much with the real thing. but here, as i've said, i'm just astounded. and it sucks that i got to read this only now because i could have nominated it for the bellie and eddie awards etc. i usually nominate and vote for awards and just last week i nominated for the bellie and eddie awards but as always, i didn't have any fic to nominate under the category of canon. because as i've said i don't normally read them so i don't know a lot that's actually worth nominating. i just hope it still makes the final cut so i could atleast vote for it in january. i read on your notes it was also nominated before i think for canon that you wish were true. something like that.. and i think CoH won. i've read that one too and again no offense to the writer of that but i think this should really have won that award. really.

i've been reading this non-stop for the last 2 days and i didn't leave reviews for each chapter because i was so eager to catch-up and finish. but towards the end, i think around chapter 63, i found myself stalling from finishing reading this. i just couldn't let go. i didn't want it to end. something like that. i could have finished reading this hours ago.. but i just, uhm, stalled. haha.. took breaks.. checked facebook, played games.. until i couldn't take it anymore and just had to finish it. and now it's all done and i read that you don't even plan on writing another one. BUMMER! you are one truly gifted writer and i'm sure lots have told you that already. but i just feel really sad we won't get to read any more of your writings. anyways, thanks so much for writing this. from what i gathered you're a pretty busy person in real life but you still managed to coughed this up. it's really really great and truly one of the best so thank you for sharing this story with us. :)

absolutely amazing :)

uhmm.. i was just wondering why edward didn't think to ask alice what the outcome might be should he decide to change bella? surely once he's "decided" to do that, alice could have a vision. she could see if whether bella's walking or still confined to a wheelchair when she becomes a vampire.

THIS WAS AMAZING! all i can say is that this is some of the best fan fic i have ever read!

;-)

I started reading your story over the summer, but got caught up in vacationing and sleeping in that i kind of lost track of all the stories i was reading. Then the other day for some reason, your story just popped in my head and i started back where i left off-part 37 i believe- and i just finished reading it. It was truly one of the best stories i've read. It goes so much more in depth than other stories and you can tell you out so much thought and knowledge into it. It was truly amazing, and although i wish you would write more stories, i'll forgive you if you dont because this one was just that good, haha

AMAZING :]

I have been reading fanfiction for five years and over 2500 fics read and to tell you the truth yours is one of the top five iv had the pleasure of reading.

That was well tought out plot with alot of development and a good idea on an ending even the wives plot twist was fantastic and i hope this isnt the las time i read one of your stories

It killed me when she said she didn't love Edward!! I know you've implied they'll end up together at the end, but it's still hard. I'm a sappy romantic, and I love Edward and Bella together so much, that it's hard to read about her being in love with someone else.

I like the intellectual conversations a lot, and it is definitely a unique and fascinating twist to see her living with a disability.

I really enjoyed reading all of this. Congratulations on this year-long effort. =)

i really love this story, it is fabulous
much better than eclipse and breaking dawn; much more in depth and great.

I THINK THAT WAS A WONDERFUL STORY IT TOOK ME 4 DAY OF NON STOP READING BUT IT WAS WORTH IT I LOVE THE PLACES YOU TOOK THIS STORY... PLACES PEOPLE HAVE NOT REALLY DONE HERE ON FF.. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING I LOVED IT YOU A SO TALENTED...WITH LOVE

I know I'm very late to this story- I found it through a rec (somewhere- I can't even remember, terribly sorry!) and it's been sitting on my favourites list until I had time. I started to read as a study break from essay writing, and now I am almost 50 chapters later. I don't know what's worse- procrastinating with fanfic or waiting 49 chapters to write a review! Definitely waiting to write a review (I was so engrossed in the story, and, quite frankly, kept putting it off because I didn't know how to articulate my love for this story!) because this story is just lovely and full of emotion.

A few things I really love and can appreciate:
- self assured, mature Bella. I love the way you write her...it's so different, yet still the same Bella, just "upgraded." You've expanded her character in a way that's tangible and believable and realistic, and her maturation is really evident.

-Edward's "changes." Obviously in books there's a definite imbalance of power- but this fic really shows how much he's matured and learned from since he left Bella. I love how you make E/B more like equals and show their progression from friendship to lovers again. It's so intriguing and beautiful to read.

-The Cullens. Families naturally go through periods of separation, and your rationale is believable, still fitting with the original characters. And even though I was a little psyched out by !niceRose at the beginning, now I really appreciate her and understand her character better.

-Your attention to proper grammar! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU :)

I wish I could say something more adequate to articulate how much I love this story, but I can't come up with anything else right now. I just love how you write these characters and express their connections, and I can't wait to finish this up- even though I'll be sad to see it come to an end when I finish reading.

Great story - thank you.

Relieved that Bella survived the Change. It would have been too much for them all to loose her.

Love that Edward is so caring and loving - everyone should have their own Edward! ;P

Such a powerful chapter. Edward's grief was just too much to bear at times. Very strong and emotive story telling.
