great story but not a great epilogue

Great, well-written story that moved me to tears! Thanks so much for writing this!

So... The Blue Castle huh? I love this story, but the resemblances are striking. Anyways, its different enough that I don't feel like it's plagiarism but still, it's funny to read this and see the parallels. Great job on the story otherwise.

This was recommended over on Facebook recently and I was curious. The summary didn't sound too good since I usually only read HEA stories and it was not really a given there;)

But you wrote an interesting plot and I'm glad I followed it through to the end

What an amazing journey! I can see why so many people rec'd this story. I'm sorry I wasn't reading it at the time that you had links on your profile or that it was on Twilighted. I would have loved to have see the pics to go with the story and be part of the discussions.

However, I'm glad that I got to read it as a complete story too. After some of those chapters, the Next button was screaming to be clicked. I've been pretty much snowed-in for the weekend and love that I got to spend it with this story.

Thank you endlessly for sharing your amazing talent!

*contented sigh*

It really felt like my heart expanded with this one.

Woo hoo! It's about friggin' time, Edward!

I'm sad that I wasn't reading this story back in the day that I was active on the Twilighted and threads. I'm sure there were some very interesting techversations.

I agree that it will be more interesting to see how Bella is going to live and how she wanted to die. That said, there's also a wussy part of me that is so so happy she's not dying just because I don't want Bella to die. I'd like to think that Bella has had more impact on Edward's life than she realizes and that he'll come after her, wanting to spend the rest of his life with her. And when I say life, I mean a real normal lifespan, not just a few months.

You are seriously killing me here. I'm not sure how much more MY heart can take, and it's perfectly healthy. And while Edward hasn't told Bella he loves her in those three words, he did call her love and I really think that that means something more than just a term of endearment.

This chapter made me want to cry. That's not something that happens very often to me when I read.

Like canon, I don't think that's a crystal. However, I also think it's the most that Edward has let Bella into his past so far. The enigma that is Edward is driving me nuts and patience isn't my strong suit. Not for the first time, I'm soooo glad I'm not reading this as a WIP! LOL

I hope that this is a turning point for Edward semicolon that he starts to trust Bella and way that he hasn't before.

It makes me so sad that Renee is forsaking her daughter's love just to be right. It also makes me sad that Edward isn't in a place to tell Bella that he loves her too. Whether he's not feeling it or he's just not willing to say it, my heart breaks a little. On the other hand, I'm so thrilled for Bella that she's in a place where her dreams are coming true and she knows it.

There's a feeling of bittersweetness here, but definitely far more sweet than bitter.
