Great story! An amazing tell-all about Edward's life pre-Twilight. I think it would've made more sense had Tanya actually really gotten this part of Edward!

This was great. I have really liked all of your stories, especially Requiem and Litany, and Eric Yorkie was pretty cute, too. This was such a look into Edward's soul, it really got to me. Liked it a whole bunch.

The relationship between Tanya and Edward is a first for me. I never read in anywhere else (vampire/not human stories). I really liked it. Well, found it interesting - realistic. Of course, I'll always see Edward with Bella. Edward's an old fashioned guy - Even with Tanya - that's what he wanted, she didn't.

I just reread Litany at Dusk, cause it's on of my favorites!

I saw the prequel... I know you're a fine writer, so I wondered how come so few reviews? Now I know. Tanya? UGG. Sorry. Just NO.

I need to go find some brain floss...

Edward and Tanya as a couple! No no no no, yuk no.

That was not what I expected. Far better. Brilliant, actually!

I don't like this at all. Edward as Tanya's conquest and collection.

Thank you for sharing these early days of Edward!

I really enjoyed this outtake it was very enlightening. I like how you didnt make Tanya vindictive she just was who she was.

Anyways I started reading fics on the Twilightarchives site and came over to ff later on in my fic..hobbying? Litany at Dusk was among the first fanfics I read and sometimes I rec other people to read it.

This was amazing, your writing is so profound and impecable as always. I enjoyed so much ALatD but I haven't read this outtake, I think a lot of ppl haven't either.

So good to see where E is coming from, what made him be the way he was before meeting B.

Thanks so much!

wow, Wow, WOW! I live to see Edward's darker side, cannon or not.

So now what will my excuse be tomorrow for being dog tired because rather than going to bed... or at least working on my own stuff... I am reading this wonderful story.

I got it. It's all your fault.

Thank you for my procrastination.

Excellent! His loneliness with the Cullens, his "non-soulmate" Tanya, and the impending rape-murder of two innocents spurring on his bloodlust. Very impressive. FF fail that I failed to receive this when posted (saw on your profile).

Go figure!

That was fantastic! I really miss the updates to this story. It was great getting a prequel to ALAD. Thankyou, great read!

I know it's been a while but I'm just now getting to this. Very interesting prequel for edwRd. I think Iost enjoyed how you described the genesis of his vigilantism. Great job.

Yet again you have given me such a treat and a lesson all in one.

As I read, I was in awe and felt such unconditional love for the hand, heart, and mind that created this chapter in Edward's life that was part of a story that taught me so much.

Thank you again for sharing your talent. I am inspired to keep working on mine.

The part that sticks out the most for me is when Tanya & Edward talk right after his first experience with sex:

I sat up suddenly and swung my legs over the side of the bed. "No. No, I didn't." I looked out the small window in the wall across from her bed. In a few hours it would be dawn. "It was never there for me to find," I added softly.

She clambered up behind me as I sat on the edge of the bed, and threw her arms around my neck. I could feel the softness of her breasts, tipped by the delightful firmness of her nipples on my back, and it was enough to start fanning the newly found fires of my desire.

She rested her chin on my shoulder, and I closed my eyes against the lovely feeling of her lips and breath against my face. She whispered into my ear. "Some lessons must be experienced, not learned."

Wow, thank you again for sharing, I am truly in awe, but not in the ass-kissing way. I am grateful.
