Awww, such a lovely lovely story. However I wished you wrote something about the Cullens - how they dealt with Edward's loss and the damage he did to Bella. Hmmm, also what happened to Jasper's and Alice's marriage because it seems that Jasper isn't too happy with Alice. And do I detect a bond between Jasper and Bella? What else did Bella do with the money she got from the Cullen's?

I so hope that you will post your next story soon. Can't wait to read it. Thank you for your lovely story.

i'm sooooo waiting for your other stories !

this one was perfect

in fact, just to read more of it i would love to read its first version (you mentioned in a AN that before, this story was less dark or something)

anyway, i'll stay tuned

I cried all over again.

oooohhh I am glad that you reposted this story. I only discovered this and I am glad because at least I get to read this story through. I love your story and how you develop it. And now there's this twist to the story-oooh, can't wait to finish this.. hope you write more stories like this.

Hey. I read this the first time and its still amazing! I absolutely love this story. I read it over and over again! The character development is so complex and amazing. Sadly reading this makes it extremely hard to find a good story I like! Talented and the best Bella and Paul story ever :).

love it

:p

No words can describe how absoloutely amazing this story was. I read it when you first posted it but wasn't on this site back then to tell you how much i truely enjoyed it! If i ahd to tell you my favourite part i would just say all of it because it was truely one of the best written and most believable stories i have ever read and now that you've posted it again im too lazy to go back and review all chapters so please forgive me!

you are such an amazing writer, this story is the bomb!

wow seems like everything is going fine ! and the wolf brushing made me sooo jealous ...

wow you had me worried here ... i really thought they were both gonna do it

and Bella would be with Jacob on the pretense that i can't imprint cause he is the Alpha ...

well kinda glad that didn't happen :p

OMG so much drama, i'm like crying in preparation already

and i just know this story is gonna make me a zombie like person tomorrow ... gonna read all night

Awww, a soft and fluffy chapter! Kind of you to give these two from the excalating angst, and let each be honest with the other (which defuses so much in the way of needless plot twists) I love Bella wanting to be wanted. Which is what an imprinted Paul can do for her that Jacob couldn't. J *wants* to want Bella but it ain't the same, is it?

Well-named chapter, Seduction! Yeah. For me the cutting back and forth between scenes works, really highlights how both Bella and Paul are doing the same thing and how that works fine physically but really not at all for either of them. And underscores Bella's hopelessness (which Paul surely shares) at the very end.

Clearly Jacob thinks that Best Friends should be enough for him and Bella, is repelled by Sam & Emily's yearning for one another 24/7, and only sees what he wants to see. He wants to see that he can fix Bella (from Edward), doesn't want to see what the imprint is doing to her. The affection between the two of them, with Bella's little distancing maneuvers, is quite nice. Even the Bells nickname, the nickname for a little sister, is telling.

I think the first half of this is a good break from the intensity of the previous chapter, and you do a nice job using Emily and Sam to show why Jacob and Bella are not meant to be. That being best friends, without the spark, isn't going to work for either of them.

Bella's anger and self-doubt (who am I really) is fantastic. Never was a car door slam so needed! I don't see that Jacob is the person to send over to talk to her - why Sam and Emily leap to that doesn't make much sense since they must know he'll downplay the inevitability of imprinting. At least send him over *with* someone? It's a logic leap in the plot that I don't quite get, unless you mean that there is noone else to send. Not that Bella wants to talk to anyone. And Paul is defaulting to his persona, but even so is worried about Bella in spite of himself.

I don't know that I have it in me to review every chapter, although lord knows this story deserves it, but this long slow tango of a chapter - from a stylized stalking/lust to comfort to tenderly kissing tears away to passion/almost full-out sex on the desktop to a shattering, bitter aftermath ... this chapter deserves a ! holy shit!

I love Paul's little tiny house and the meticulous care he takes of his few belongings. I like how you ease back on the adjectives for Bella (just relaxed) and give her room to notice her physical surroundings, and then Paul at the doorway - she's not self-absorbed, she's awake and paying attention. And then your description slows down, beautifully, breaks down every move as they start to move toward one another.

Caught up in RL, I missed the Why of BLW's pulling, but writing like this deserves to live somewhere. I'm awfully glad you're reposting it and giving people a chance to discover or re-discover.
