I come back and read this story once every year or two. It always feels like the first time. It’s literal gold. I hope you know how important your stories are to everyone. Thank you sharing this, as always.

Can I just say that you are doing a beautiful job incorporating the book with the story. Seems perfectly.

I usually don’t like first person because it feels awkward and personal, but this was done masterfully. I applaud you!

So this is such fun and the sanity updates are BY FAR the best part of the story,

Not sure you’re reading comments here anymore, but I can’t help myself. For some unknown reason I started reading the Twilight books again but so many things kept bugging me. Things I thought about when I was a teenager reading them for the first time, but now as an adult it just drove me crazy. Bella and Edward are not good for each other, no one should depend that much on their parter. Give up that much. And why why why would she be doing all the housework for Charlie, he lived alone for years surely he knows how to cook! And I hate the “and then Jacob imprinted on Bellas daughter and everyone lived happily ever after”, couldn’t even read that book again. Anyway, I’ve never read fan fiction but I just needed a better story. And I found one! So thank you thank you thank you!

I’m deep into my twilight renaissance hyper fixation and shamelessly read this in one day. And oh my goodness, this was phenomenal. Absolutely and utterly phenomenal

Hi! I know you probably wrote this fic ages ago but Netflix just added the twilight series & i watched it & of course... felt horrified LMFAO so i absolutely NEEDED to find a version where bella & jacob win out & searched up "best jacob x bella fanfic" on google and here we are.
And then i spent six hours reading this fanfiction non stop HELPPPP! I had such a good time. You really used the Meyer voice well, I felt you made everything so much more compelling... the jacob and bella moments were so realistic and the way their romance developed worked so well. I'm also so partial to like... the tortured... "I love her but can't be with her" trope so I felt it was especially delicious. Thank you so much for this fic! I hope you have moved on to better books than Twilight, but I also hope that even years later people are finding your work and enjoying it! Off to read the sequel!

oh and i forgot to mention, i loved the fact that bella’s love/attraction to edward is caused by his predator-ness. sorry it’s almost 4am and idk how else to write this but yeah. it’s an interesting aspect that makes a lot of sense in the twilight universe. idk why st*phenie meyer never thought about including this predator-brainwashing-their-prey aspect in her own plot.

idk if you still check this account, but i just finished reading this and damn you’re good. the plot was so interesting and you got me out of a 10-month reading slump. i’m sorry writing this was a bad experience for you, but thank you so much for writing it. bella x jacob had a lot of potential (as you’ve shown) and it makes me so happy to read about them the way you wrote them.

You may (or may not) be interested in knowing that I read this story years ago and think of it time to time. I just went to my favorites list to look it up and discovered to my dismay that I hadn’t saved it. A quick google search (fanfiction new moon twilight sam towel) brought it right up, though. Thank you for writing this!

The quote song in the beginning author's name means "Winning Love" or "Winner of Love". I thought that was cool. I love how you are developing this story so far. I recently went back and rewatched the movies with my mom and remembered how I hated that Bella went with Edward after how much he put her through and hurt her so much and this story is a wonderful spin-off if Bella picked Jacob! Also, nice grammar work with this. 10/10.

How can something sound bright and sparkling?

I've just found this. Hands down best fanfic ever. You're so skilled at writing and it's done beautifully and realistically. Just well done. And thanks.

I stg you are my favourite author across all my fandoms and ... gosh, 16 years of fanfiction. I adore your Zutara stuff, and having devoured your AO3 account I saw a passing reference to . oh yeah baby! This is not my favourite platform but damm if I'm not settled in with the cup of tea and some icecream for what I'm sure is gonna be an incredible story. I'm so excited! Midnight sun reminded me what twilight trash I was 10 years ago and I NEED more Jacob content like burning. Looking forward to this!

With as accident prone as Bella is, I'm surprised she was diagnosed with OA, it's a condition I have that's basically "brittle bone disease "
