This is the first fan ficton novel I have read. I glanced at a selection before choosing this one, and I'm so glad I did! I have only read the first six chapters, but so far I'm loving this wonderful work of fiction. The descriptive language is beautifully arranged and the storyline is so imaginative yet realistic, in the Twilight Saga sense of the word! I especcialy love the fact that Bella's character has grown yet remained, essentially Bella..this is so important to identify with the character. I could almost imagine that Edward has not returned and Bella's life disintigrates around her without him.. An author with amazing insight into how the characters could evolve, and brilliantly written too. Amazing work, thank you so much for shsaring this with everyone.

I love this alternative version. I always felt Bella was stronger than SM gave her a chance to be. It's odd how one minute thing can alter the course of one's life. If Jake had not imprinted, if Bella had found the motorcycles instead of the Mustang, one choice alters our destiny. I look forward to reading your conclusion.

Somewhat obviously I'm just getting started on this story but your a/n convinced me to review this chapter (I love ferris). Anyway, I'm very into this story so far. I especially like that you have given us some back sorry here, in the third chapter. Sometimes it is nice to just know rather than have all of the secrets be drawn out for many chapters. So keep it up and I'm back to reading!

Le sigh. Ah, the last chapter posted . . . and ages since the last update . . .means that like ExB . . . I get to have hope . . for future updates.

Wow, a year? I'm glad I'm a cheater then, and coming late, so I get more chapters to enjoy!

Yay for the homecoming!

Good story of Alice and Victoria . . also further acknowledgment of Jake (human) as a wolf, which I guess I'd kind of missed before.

A very sweet chapter.

Alice killing Victoria? Nice.

The image of them in the snow is so precious . . .as is the thought of Edward with lichen in his hair, although that's precious in another sense of the word.

I feel like I should be making notes for my mythology studies . . .there's plenty I've forgotten.

What did Bella do with Jake in all this? It seemed more like her taking off was a bit impulsive.

Student teaching? I taught once. Probably never do that again.

Another beautiful chapter--my sister's cat is a shower spy, and so I know how Bella feels--weird, but glad sometimes for non-judgmental company.

See, the more eager I am for the next chapter, the shorter the reviews get.

Glad to see them talking it out!

I can just picture the smooth stride of Edward as he walks to his execution. Wonder if he's looking for the oh shit handles in that car?

It fun to see more characters coming into play in each chapter. In the beginning when it was just Bella it was good to spend that time in her as a character, since she is a central player. Knowing so much about her internally, it makes it easy on the reader to give her up and share the word count with other players.

Excellent use of the Jake, No scene from New Moon here. I approve. I so approve.

I equally approve of his protectiveness. What is the point of having a dog, anyway? The whole thing was nicely done, and you really feel for the dog throughout the scene. I can almost imagine, if he could, he would have taken two fingers, pointed them at his eyes, and pointed them back at Edward and Emmett as they drove away.

I realized that I was getting a bit delirious with work and New Years and such, and actually wrote nom, nom, nom in a review. God help me. Especially as the fam is here and I may not get to finish tonight!

Okay, I'm going to try and break myself of starting all your reviews with "I like" You know I like.

In this chapter, the images of Emmett poking away at Edward is great. Excellent point too that the tortures of our own minds are usually far superior to any other punishment available to us, although a good beat down is surely not amiss.

Sneaking on Bella in the woods so that she would think you are stalking is not so good. Especially since she's got a rifle and is a pretty good shot. Dun, dun, dun. . . .one more bit of client nonsense to go and then I can eat up all the chapters in a row with no more breaks, nom, nom, nom, nom.
