Absolutely wonderful story. (2nd reading) You said it all without dragging it out too much! Perfectly done. Thanks.

Stomp on my heart and make me thank you for it

This should really be a must-read for the fandom

oh my god

oh my GOD

this broke my fucking heart. jesus. fuck. god.

I’ve alreasy reviewed, but let me just say real quick that this story is everything to me. I first found it in 2012 when I was extra emotional and in high school and just started writing fan fiction. I remember the night I read this. I cried for about three days afterward. It’s 2019 now and I’m in college and haven’t really put fanfiction away yet, and this story has the same impact on me, except I seem to understand the deeper meaning of choices more. You did that. I have never admired another writer this much. I have never wanted to write something even half as beautiful as this so much. I hope that you are doing well, with whatever endeavors your life has taken you to since you published this a full decade ago. Thank you, for everything.

I don’t know what prompted me to re-read this after all this time. I saw your name on an authors favorite list and recognized it. I don’t know if you’re still writing.

But please know how wonderful and important a story this is. I am in tears. I have been crying since Jacob told Edward and Bella ‘it stopped mattering what I want the day she chose you’. He was 16 then, a young man, and the woman he loved chose a vampire. He is how old now? Over a hundred and his life has never been his own. He stayed true to Nessie and respected her family and most of her demands. It wasn’t until she left him that the choke of the imprint eased and he had some time with Bella.

You write Bella well. She has regret but it fades, it’s bearable. She acknowledges she used Jacob and she was not always nice to him but she continues to use him. She thinks of him as ‘My Jacob’ because why, how could she be so selfish, but it is because that’s what she wants. You write the contrast of warm and cold as an emotional feeling in addition to the physical, and it’s very good. Bella is staring down eternity and has to tell herself this is what she wanted. She has to appreciate Edward looking the other way in her infidelity with Jacob. Because eternity without Edward would be miserable. Once Jacob is gone, what is left of Bella? She will forget more of her human experiences. She will have Edward and her daughter and the shallow superficial lifestyle of the Cullens. I feel bad for her but she’s an idiot and I can forget her. My heart breaks for Jacob, a good and kind and loving man who didn’t have a choice.

Thanks for writing. We appreciate this.

This is wonderful and you should be truly proud of yourself. Fantastic story, brilliantly written. Great job.

AmazingRuin here again. I just had to let you know one more time how much I loved this.

I’ve read this like 3 more times since I first reviewed and it still tears me to pieces. It’s so beautiful but so painful and all of it makes so much sense and it feels like the natural course in which everything would happen. It makes me angry and sad too because Bella is a goddamn idiot, and I’m left with a lump in my throat because this story displays that in more ways than one(as if the rest of the series doesn’t do that already). Either way, this is amazing, and I’m going to go crawl in a hole now. But not before encouraging you to write some more Jacob and Bella stories. You are a fantastic writer and I would LOVE to see more from you! But even if you don’t, thank you for this. I will always come back to it.

This was AMAZING. I was absolutely gutted by the end, enough to shed real tears. Prose on point, didn’t oversell it, felt every single emotion. Wonderful job!

This story FUCKING hurt. Omg, it tore me to pieces. Not just because of what happened, but your writing. I can’t really form coherent thoughts because it’s muddled by a broken heart. Beautiful, stunning, writing.

I can’t believe I just found this story now. Ten years later. And this is so beautiful and it made me cry so much so thank you for writing this!

the emotion in this story is unbelievable. you are an amazing writer.

Wow, this is the first fanfiction I have ever read that made me cry at the end. Very well done!

Wow! That was so good. Thanks

Im not sure when i started crying but when i finished this i still have a couple tears coming free. This is the best written one shot to date. Loved it so much!

I just want to comment on how much this fanfic affected me. I'm a huge fan of Jacob and always thought he deserved more. I've just discovered this story and already read it many times. It's so fucking depressing, I wish Bella was able to let Jacob go, she's so selfish. It's crazy how this was written years ago and it's still relevant. Anyway I don't think I can properly express how much I've enjoyed this. Thank You
