Argh!!! What the hell?! So nat what I was expecting from the story´s summary!!! ^^ Definately good, though!!! ^^
Author's Response:
lol, I'm happy I can keep you on your toes
Date: 10 Mar 2011 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 5
Awwww...aren't you just a sweetheart!^^ Thanks so much for the chapter!!! ;D <33
And here is another 'awwwwww' for Edward being so damn adorable! ^^ Seriously, how cute was it when he needed to Ant with him to find some sleep? And when he tried to 'multi-task' and failed and landed on his ass...that was sooo funny! ;D Oh my- he is sooo smitten with Bella already...and Esme (Carlisle probably too) so joined Team Edward and Bella! She may even run for team captain soon ;D
Bella's story is really sad - loosing Jacob while in the middle of pregnancy...and what happened to her and Leah with James!!! BTW- I totally think that James also goes by the name Jamie nowadays and it's probably going to get ugly if they ever gonna meet again...I don't even want to think about what could happen if he found out about her being in Forks... Aw shit!
Also, I somehow got the feeling that either Edward is going to 'buy' Bella or vice versa at the auction... My money is on Edwward buying her... I can totally see Esme and Alice talking Bella into participating in said auction ! ^^
Yep, sounds like a lot of fun coming along! ^^ Can't wait for more! ;D

Author's Response:
lol, thanks, next chapter in a couple o days ;-)
Date: 12 Mar 2011 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 6
A. Cliffie!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO! ;D ;D I have a feeling it's James/(Jamie)...I just can't think of anyone else that would cause her to freeze on the spot! Except maybe for some other evil perso from her past that just wasn't mentioned yet...*grumble*
God, Bella's story is so awful! And Leah had to witness it...Jeez! Also, it was so sad when Bella sad that she disappointed her daughter and that the little girl pulled back and sometimes couldn't even stand to be in the same room as her...I really almost cried at that part! If James and Jamie are not the same person, then I wonder what the eff happened to him. If he is, then I hope that Charlie, Emmet and Edward get the chance to kick his effing ass good before the cops get him!...Ooooh...wait a second- THEY are the cops!!! AWESOME!! ^^
"She is huh? Well your lucky to have her as your friend, you treat her like the princess she is, okay?" Edward warned him taking drink of his water.
"I will, you treat Bella like the angel she is okay, daddy." Anthony took a drink of his water copying every move Edward made. - OMG!!! That was one of the best and sweetest things I've ever read!! I think I squealed a bit when I first read that! BabyJesus- they are soooo effing cute! And then the lovely Eddie jumps into doctor-mode when Leah tripped and fell...can I have of tose for myself, please?!?!?! ^^ Lol, and little Ant already starting his matchmaking skills and tricks! ;D
I still wonder what happened to Ant's mom! He ever seems to talk about her and she ceratinly isn't dead.... Yep, can't wait to read more and find out!!!

Author's Response:
lol, you find out about Ant's mom but no for a while yet. I thought you'd like this chapter.

Um...wow...just...wow!!!! What the hell?!?!? Both, the prologue and the first chapter were absolutely heratbreaking and slightly confusing at the same time!! I mean, some things were already explained and we have the (possible) direction this story is going to go...but still!! And as you just mentioned "Lost" in you a/n - I´m expecting the worse but hope for the best!!! ;D The idea of Emmet, Jasper and Alice playing patients in the hospital is really funny!!!The things at the end about Bella knowing JAsper and looking for Edward ever since gave me goosebumbs!!! o far, everything seems to be really promising! Can´t wait for Edward and Bella´s first encounter!!!
Date: 05 Jan 2011 Title: Chapter 4: Crawling
What the hell?! Holy shit!!!! Why would he google Jasper with Whitlock as last name?!?! Ah dang- he must have dreamed more about his time as Robert and joining the Army with Jasper!!! Holy shit-this is so good!! And what about Carlile?!?! If they really met before and Edward wasn´t just mixing reality and dreams/memories why doesn´t Carlisle recognize him?! Or recognize but won´t admit it,then?!?! GAH!!! And how did the nomads find them so fast?! And when will Bella finally meet Edward?!?! Questions over questions!!!!! Oh yeah- Emmets patient file cracked me up so much!!! He is scared og bears coming after him and wa arrested for exposure!!! Too hilarious!!!!;D
Date: 05 Jan 2011 Title: Chapter 6: By Myself
Holy hell!!! Wow- this gets better and better! So many connections and riddles!!!!I kinda feel bad for them all! well, except for the nomads, of course!!!^^ So at some point in one of their past lives, Bella and Edward came across Vicky and James and I guess they are at least partly to blame that things alsways ended bad for B and E! Jeeeeeeeeeeez!!!!!!
Date: 05 Jan 2011 Title: Chapter 7: Faint
You definately got me intrigued!!!I´m totally falling for this story!!! Please keep the chapters coming!!! I need to know how this is all going to turn out and how B and E will find to each other!!! God this is so sad but so beautiful at the same time!!!! Please update asap!!!!PLEASE!!! ^^ (desperate much,you ask- why, yes!! Thank you very much I say!!!! ) ;D
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for reading and for all of your reviews. I'm consulting with my beta and I hope to start the next chapter in the next two days. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. Thanks again! :-)
Date: 19 Jan 2011 Title: Chapter 8: Mad World
Oh shit,girl!!!
First of all- YAY!!! Another chapter!!! ;D It was so heartbreaking, I cried!Bella´s existence is soo sad! How awful is it to die over and over agan,looking for the one person you have to save to be saved in return while doing so, but not accomplishng it?!And to be the only one remembring it!And seeing your family die too again and agan.... Damn!!!! But I think, I have to read the chapters again because I think I really did forget about some things or missed them the first time!!! Is it possible that Alice can´t see Edward in her visions because Vicky has snatched him away and possibly turned him?!?! I mean, Vicky can´t be seen by Alice in her visions in general, but she also couldn´t see James coming for Bella because Vicky was with him...! So maybe that´s the reason Alice can´t see Edward when Bella is turned...Edward is under Vicky´s "chield/cover"....?!?!?!?! ARGH!!!! Noooooo- that would be absolutely effed up!!!!
Needless to say- I´m soooooo looking forward to the next chapter!!!!! No matter how heartbreaking it´s been/goig to be - I love the storyline!!!
Date: 07 Mar 2011 Title: Chapter 10: Talking to The Moon/Remember Me
Ohmybabyjesus!!! I ´don´t even know where to begin here!!! Just know that I cried like the little baby that I am and that I had massive goose bumps while reading this!!!! Happy now?!?! ;D I think I said before in an earlier review- but I gladly say it again - this story is so sad, but soulful and absolutely beautiful at the same time!!! I'm plain right amazed by the storyline! I still don´t know how you came up with this, where you found your inspiration, but whatever it is/was hold on to that!!! PLEASE!!!
OMG - now that he finally remembered her, they soon have to face their fate...So my guess would be next or the one after would be showdown time!! I´m kind of dreading it...since all their pre-stories were so dramatic and sad, I know that this time won't be different. I think that James manages to get to Bella and bite her but he gets killed by one of the Cullens before he can take her away. They change her but Victoria manages to take Edward with her when she flees....after that, I can only hope that they still somehow manage to track her down, end her and Bella and Edward can finally have their HEA for eternity!!! ^^
I can´t wait for the next chapter update!!! I love this story so much, it´s effing amazing!

Author's Response:
Thank you so much for your review! I just ask you have patience with me and trust me in the next few chapters. :-) Thanks so much again!
Date: 17 Mar 2011 Title: Chapter 11: Timing Is Everything
What. The. Fuck?? No seriously- what the fuck?!?!^^ Forget about all the other times I spoke about heartbreak and that your story made me cry! Those times have shit to this chapter!!!!
I mean, Edward finally remembering Bella and their past lives and then for them to be separated by the nomads (temporarily!!!!!^^) would have been bad enough! BUT, Bella thinking that he finally remembered only to find out that he acted out of a dream and then realizing that he didn't remember....and then the nomads attacking and Bella sacrificing herself and that horrible vision of Edward being ripped apart....HOLYSHIT!!!! I couldn't even tell you what the worst part was!!! AND I really thought that Vicky would turn Edward to make him her little toy- I never thought that she would simply want to kill him! WTF?!?!?!
Please! Don't get me wrong- I do think it is brilliant! And I absolutely trust that you have a plan and know where you going with this! ;D My emotions just took over a bit... ;D ;D
OH MY- I sooooo can't wait for the next chapter!! Like, seriously! It's driving me mad!!! I really can't wait!!! That was kinda cruel but pretty awesome, also!You go, girl!
Would it be ok, if I rec'd this story with the next chapter post of my own fic?

Noelle!
I know I must sound like a broken record here...but I just can't help it! This. Is. So. Damn. Good!!! I'm once again amazed by teh storyline and the chapters' events; and once again I had to cry reading it! My oh my...it was just sooo heartbreaking! Bella and Edward finally reuinited and they BOTH remember their past lives spent together, only with the prospect of being torn apart again any minute!! How cruel could it be?! And not only that- I can't believe how interwoven all their lives are- Carlisle being Jamie's singer and Vicky is out to revenge him!!! WTF?!?! The nomads really seem to get it all with one strike!!
I really can't believe the next chapter is the prologue chapter! When the hell that happen?!?! I really really really really can't wait for more! I'll make sur eto restock on tissues until then- it's quite safe to say that I'm going to need them, right?^^ Oooooooh, I really can't wait to read the nect chappy! The suspense is killing me! Iknow it's going to be a close call...argh! You are killing me!!! I still love every bit about it!!! ^^ Absolutely amazing!

Author's Response:
Thank you so much for reading & reviewing! I hope you read the most recent one!
~Noelle
Bella told you the story of our life together, which according to her human memories was correct, she told the story, as she believed it to be. The problem with human memories is that they fade and become blurry over time. Vampire memories are stronger and more reliable. Not to say that Bella didn’t tell the story as she remembered it, but I remember it a bit different than she did.
There was quite a bit she had no knowledge of. A lot of things that happened with my family that she couldn’t know about and I never revealed to her. This is the story she wouldn’t have known to tell. My hope is that it will clear up a few misconceptions…

I don´t know what to say...I really thought that Bella´s POV from the break-up and and everything that followed her birthday was heartbreaking.....but this!!! Don´t get me wrong- though I always disliked the way and Edward and actually all of the Cullens let her- I absolutely love the Saga (obviously ^^) and my emotions were all over the place while reading it! But reading things from Edward´s POV .....that just takes everything to a whole new level!!! The pain and heartbreak...*sigh* everything is so much more intense! (I´m still desperately praying for SM to finish Midnight Sun and soon.... so that we can enjoy that from his POV as well^^)
Anyway, I think you did a really good job so far since my heart truly ached while reading these first chapters!!!! I´m curious to find out what there is to come!!!
Author's Response:
I'm glad your enjoying Edward's version, I too felt it was heartbreaking. I also hope that SM finishes Midnight Sun, but my fustration was what made me write these books in the first place, so I suppose I should thank her for not finishing and allowing me the honor of doing so myself. Finishing Midnight Sun in my own way was very gratifying for me. Edward is such a wonderful character and I love writing his thoughts. This entire series that I have writen was such a wonderful learning experience that I wouldn't change for anything. So please continue to enjoy the rest of the series as I hope it lives up to your standards.
Thanks for reading.
Date: 04 Dec 2010 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4-Seperation Anxiety
Again with the heartbreak...*sigh* I absolutely loved that you let him kept the photos of him and Bella that were ment for Renee and that you let him return to the meadow....ungh...he was sooooo close!! stupid stubborn aching vampire....
Author's Response:
I always thought while reading New Moon that he would return to the meadow. This was his place after all and it was so far out of the way and Bella had only been there once, so I figured he would think that she wouldn't be able to find it on her own so it would be safe.
Date: 04 Dec 2010 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6-The Search
OMG- ´He is just sooo close to everything! He knows that Laurent is up to something and now that the wolves returned....grrrrr......
Good chapter! I´m sad to know that Edward will be mute for a while but JPOV could be interesting also ;D
Author's Response:
When I was finishing Midnight Sun I really thought that when I wrote Dark Moon that I would leave Jacob completely out of it, but when I got to this point in the book I knew I couldn't do that. I knew I had to tell his story from his point of view, which by the way alot of the details came from SM's website. I wasn't a big fan of Jacob's until I was writing the fourth book which is the only one in the series that will not follow the original... at all.
Thanks for reading continous enjoyment.
Date: 03 Jan 2011 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10-The Meadow
Another really well written chapter!!! Soo good!!! I really like how you "filled the blanks" so to speak of the events! Oh God- and it won´t even take that long now until that faithful day including the infamous phone call!!!GAH!!!!! Suspense!!! I can´t wait to read more in EPOV though I really have to say that I like reading from the tribes side!!! ;D
Happy new year!!!!!
Author's Response:
Thank you for reading and reviewing. It's always nice to hear what people think. Although the phone call was an important part of this story, my favorite part was Edward walking into the light. It was my favorite to part to write too.

She was soo quick to get all pissed when she saw them together....hmm...maybe she is just psycho...-but then again...that wouldn´t make the whole situation any better!!

Date: 19 Dec 2010 Title: Chapter 12: Pom Pom's
Ungh!!! What a chapter?!?! Sexual tension would be an understatement!!! ;D ;D Oh boy!!!
Fucking Angela and her cock/hoohahblocking ways!!!! It´s mre than obvious that they both can´t keep their hands to themselves (who can blame Bella- I´d soooo do the same) but they are playing with fire with Psycho bitch around! I think Edward should somehow find ut about Psych Bitch´s cheating ways before he tells her abut the divorce because otherwise he would end up as the bad guy! But then again...no one really likes Angela anyway! But Psycho would totally go after Bella, I think!!! But then again, I think she would go after Bella anyway as soon as she´d find out about them....GAH! Why do I even care abou PB´s spycho ways?!?! But still, how I had wished fr Angela slipping something about Ben when Edeard was tsill hiding under the bed or when she talked to Bella about him in the kitchen ....why couldn´t Edward have come down a wee bit sooner and eavesdropped on them?!?!? *grrrrr*
Anyway, you guys are awesome and I love your wicked ways!!! I wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! <3

FINALLY & HOLY SHIT!!!! That´s what I would call two crazy chapters!!!! Loved the switching POV`s ! Angela is sooo psycho and I´m worried about Edward "seeing Eric and Laurent but not quite seeing them"- incident...! Bless Em and Rose for saving B and E´s asses! I was really freaking out while reading because of the note Bella left and that the wicked witch would find it!! Thank God she didn´t thanks again to Emmets subtle cover up ;D Bella´s departure was so sad- even though it turned to be the best decision made! I just hope that the two of them don´t have to wait too long! ;D As always- can´t wait for the next chapter! You girlies are awesome!!! ;D
Author's Response:
Thank you for loving us and we love u to......We love writing in both POV's ...and part 2 is going up right away...xoxoxoo

Tyggy- you Mistrss of Madness!!!!!! Lol
What the hell was this?! OMG! Sooo good!Fucking intense and dark- but sooo effing good! Wow...You know, I'm all for B&E forever and fluff galore...yada,yada....but I really can't wait to see this story unfold more- even if there is no fluff whatsoever!!! Hell, any kind of fluff would totally ruin the whole story (from what I can tell/what happened so far/what I think is going to happen/from the vibes the story's giving off)! Damn you! Edward is so damn intense...and his kids are so damn freaky!
And the whole gas station scene...oh boy! WTF happened there?! It was like a scene out of Texas Chainsaw Masacre or Wrong Turn or whatever the fuck the name of the movie was your scene reminded me off- what I'm trying to say is: I could totally picture that one!!! Ungh- at first, due to the spikey hair and the golden eyes I thought the little thing was good old Alice....but I don't really think so anymore! (Do Edward's creepy kids have golden eyes in your story- I kinda forgot...^^) Anyway, I think it's safe to say that Bella and Edward will meet soon-ish!? CAN'T. WAIT. TO. SEE. THAT!!!!!
I loved every bit of this madness! Looking forward to read more!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TYGGY!!! You're fucking awesome! Keep on rockin',bb! Mwah!

Hey there again!
Wow- I seriously had some catching up to do here!!! Those last few chapters were really good! Though I am somewhat surprised that Claire and Bella only lasted for a few chapters, I'm glad that Bella got to her senses so soon! I think she needed to hear the words 'you are breaking my heart' from him to realize that she really was close to lose him; like standing close to the edge and only one step further and there would be no solid ground anymore. I'm curious to see how they all will cope with that once Edward is back for good and they have to face reality!
I just hope that Claire will get her HEA also! Even though I'm all Team Bella and Edward, I do like her and she deserves it! Maybe John will get his head out of his own ass and man up some?!
Anyway, it's soo good to see that B & E finally manage to speak about their feelings with each other even though there are still things that need to be said / left unspoken! Also, please don't think I didn't review the other chapters because there was B&C action going on! I'm just really short of time since rl is being a pain!
Once again, you did an awesome job here!!! I'm happy to see that you got so many reviews recently! ^^

Author's Response:
Sorry I took so long to reply. I've been trying to get the final chapter/epilogue ready to go.

Awwww...that really was such a sweet and good chapter! Cue..sigh!^^ Omg, she met his parents and now he is going to meet the chief...yeah, they are soooo on the relationship road! Somebody should subtly hint that out for them...like, with blinking neon signs, for example! =) Oh boy, Edward being all sad and making Bella sad with it, made me sad in return! Oh my....I was waiting for him to really point out that SHE was one of the reasons that he wouldn't enjoy Italy as much!!! GAH! Ooooh, and when he told her about how much he wanted her back on poker night...and when he actually said ' I wanted you to be MINE!' Double GAH!!! Didn't she hear that?!?!? It is obvious that they both want more but are both too afraid to point it out to the other!!! Sigh.... As I said, the more they suffer, the sweeter their sweet moments! On that note, can't wait for their date!!! =)
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review!
They are clueless, aren't they? You're going to love the date! ;)
Date: 23 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 27 - Flames
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I think I just died a bit while reading the last two chapters!!! HE. WAS. SO. CLOSE. TO. SAY. SOMETHING!!! TWICE!!!!! Damn them all for interrupting!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! That aside. I think the date was really awesome!!! And OMG- they sooooooo made love!!! I wouldn't necesarily call all of their other encounters mere humping, BUT that surely was something different! =) And I absolutely love, love, love the necklace! The pendant really is gorgeous!!! I can totally see why that would remind you of the nightsky on a clear night! If you hadn't mentioned it before in the story, that still would have been my first thought while looking at it! Good pick! ^^
Author's Response:
Yes, he was very very close.
I am glad you liked the date. And it was very different, for both of them, but even more for Edward I think, because he's a bit more ready to commit.
Goldstone is my absolute favorite and it just suited Bella so well I thought. Unique but simple. and I really wanted Edward to get it absolutely right for her.
Thanks for the review!
Date: 01 May 2011 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 40 - First Taste
Oh my... ok, first of all- CONGRATULATIONS on BC getting nominated 9 times! That's awesome and you really deserve it! ^^
I can't believe you don't have a prereader or beta! In all those chapters I haven't stumbled upon one typo or stuff(not that I was intentionally looking for them..)! It's all so flawless and I know firsthand how easily those damn typos can sneak their way in it! I'm even more amazed by your skills now! ^^
This chapter was really sensual and intense. There was just a certain vibe ringing with it as the chapter went on. I like how they just took the others body in; it was more than just love making or sex. It was something more. I just hope that Bella saw in Edward's eyes in the was 'only' sadness since they would have t part again in a few days and no because of something else....now that she finally seems to slowly come to her senses and along!
Oooh, there really aren't that many more chapters left!!! I really, really can't wait to read them all and for E and B to get their Happy End! But that also means that the big bang isn't too far away, either..right?!?! Oh oh....^^
-Sue
Author's Response:
Thanks so much. I was really surprised by the nominations, but it did make me very happy!
It really helped to write the story almost completely, and then I could set it aside for weeks (or even months) and go back and re-read, and tweak things, and set it aside again, and polish each chapter before I posted it. It's definitely not flawless, I've gone back and found some typos, but I am glad to hear they aren't glaringly obvious. It was a difficult decision, but I decided not to go with a pre-reader/beta because this story was so intensely personal. I needed it go come up exactly as I heard it in my head. I will probably try to find a beta for future stories though.
I am glad you liked the chapter! It is a bit more than just him leaving, but I don't want to say more than that. The chapter where he leaves will give you a clue to what's going on.
There really aren't many more chapters to go! Thanks for the review!
Date: 23 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16 - Sunday Morning
Hey!
Ok, I admit, it is kinda lame to only leave a review after already reading 16 chapters of the story...but I just couldn't stop reading! Seriously! This story is soooo good! At first, I was a bit confused when Edward hooked up with Rose and Bella went for Jasper (even if it was an unsuccessful trip ^^ ) But that changed again real quick! I saw the whole Rose being pissed drama coming, though! Gosh- I know snatching your best friends' ex is usually a no go- but Rose never, in any way, let slip that she was interested in Edward in more ways than just the carnal! AND she already had a new guy...yeah- female pride, or better to say Rosie's pride...yada yada....! SHe totally played the role as Über-Bitch convincingly! I wonder if she'll get her head out of her own ass at some point!!!
As for Bella and Edward...OMG! Those two are killing me...(yeah well, actually it's you! ^^ ) They are so effing hot! =) But I really wonder how much longer they both can convince theirselves that it's just about the nookie there!^^ I think it is safe to say that Edward has definitely fallen for her- and hard! He is so god damn attentive and sweet! He constantly kisses her or finds another way to be demonstrative in his desire. Even though I think that Bella is coming around slowly with returning the favor, Edward is doing the better job! Bella is so damn reluctant....well...she almost downright refuses to acknowlege the possibily of having a real relationship with him...I think she is afraid..maybe of commitment in general, but also of getting hurt? We already got to know that her self-esteem/ confidence isn't the best...in her head, she just can't see why Edward would want more from her that just fuckhot sex...so, to prevent herself from getting hurt by opening up to him and letting him in, she made up her mind to keep at the sexin, so that if their time as merelovers is over, she canmake it out of there without a broken heart....I think! Maybe there is something else/different also?! We will see about that! She also said that she doens't want to settle on one guy already...but seriously- if you get to have Edward freaking Cullen, what else is there to want?!?! =)
Jeeez, I'm already dreading the fallout!!! I know, I know...that one is still far away...but seriously! From what I've gathered so far, this is the first time that Edward actually feels more around a woman than only the tightening in his pants! He said himself that he is more open, relaxed and less brooding around her...and, well completely different than with his previous fb's...so I think that it's really going to be bad for him in the end! ARGH! I don't even got to the point where it could get ugly and already I'm a mess!!!
Gonna continue reading now! I'll try to sneak a review in as often as I can! It all depends on your writing! =) =) =) ^^
-Sue
Author's Response:
That's alright, I know I have a hard time leaving a review for every single chapter when I get started on a story and am eager to read through it! I appreciate any reviews I get.
I am glad you're enjoying the story so much. Rosalie will get her head out of her ass eventually.
Bella is definitely afraid of commitment and getting hurt. It's a bit more complicated than that (you'll learn more as you read further in the story) but you definitely are on the right track.
The fallout is going to be rough, but I promise they will get there eventually.
Thanks SO much for the review. I really appreciate it.
Date: 23 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - Love Me Two Times
YES!!! Bella is soooo developping feelings for Edward! And definitely vive versa!!!! Really good, really good! Gosh, everytime they lazily hang out in bed (pre- and/or post coital ^^) and they caress and play with each other I'm like- 'just say it already!!!' They really already drive me mad...I'm not sure I can stand the whole story if it's anything like I imagine it be due to your summary, prologue and what's been said so far!!! Oh my!!! Poor babies!!!^^
Author's Response:
Yes, they're really starting to care for each other. I love the lazy hanging out in bed moments. Just stick with the story and I promise it'll be worth it! Thanks for the review.
Date: 23 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20 - Just Can't Get Enough
Awwwww....those two are killing me!!! In mean, c'mon!!! He is calling her petnames, she realized that she needs hom no matter what, they both can't sleep without the other! Ungh...as I said in an earlier review..I really don't think I'm gonna survive the whole stpry if it comes to the ugly!!! LOL! Just kidding! Ungh...but they are just soooo gooooog and sweet together! And Edward id goddamn fuckhot! Jeeeez!
I can relate to some of the things Bella said about being reluctant about serious relationships at a young age..she really didn't have the best rolemodels for that...BUT, love is not something you can plan or fit into a schedule...when it happens, it happens! Obviously.....just sayin'! =) ^^
Author's Response:
It's hard to get past the terrified stage. I tried to plan when I was going to fall in love and it sure didn't work. But I fought it for a long time. It was worth it, but it wasn't easy for me at all.
These two are going to frustrate you, I can promise you that! Thanks for the review.
Date: 23 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - What Are We Gonna Do
*Sigh* Oh my....What can I say?! On the one hand, I'm glad that Bella finally realized that her feelings for Edward run much deeper than just on the friends with benefits basis! Whooop for that! And I really can relate to the fact that she is reluctant to admit those feelings to Edward, given his history of relationships or lack thereof and the fact that he said himself that he hates it when the girl gets clingy and pushy...BUT, seriously, IS SHE DEAF AND BLIND?!?!?! That was basically a love declaration Edward gave her there in the kitchen!!!! Girl, I almost screamed at my screen for Edward to say those three words!!! Ungh! Yeah I know, I'm probably a bit far ahead,,,but c'mon...am I the only one here that ones to shake and slap them on the back of their heads a few times for not saying anything?! And yes- I am aware that they haven't been together that long yet and that they started off in a rather unconventional way...but...ungh...!! I'm sorry for the rambling here...this story really gets me all worked up!!! =)
On another note...I love all their tender moments!!! Now, don't get me wrong- I love ALL their moments spend together...but there is just something about them being all gently and tender with each other...*sigh* You're doing a pretty good job there!! ^^
-Sue
Author's Response:
You're not the only one who is getting ready to slap them on the back of their heads. Just about ALL of my readers are there. I love that you get worked up about the story, it's hugely flattering for me as a writer that you care so much.
I am glad you like the tender moments, I really do too. There will be plenty more of those to come!
Date: 23 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - Three Doors
OMG! The return of the witch!!! Hmmm...I'm not sure what to think oof that yet! On the one hand, I 'm glad that the weight of guilt has been lifted from Bella's (and Edward's )shoulders...but on the other hand I do think that B forgave her too easily! Rose may had her reasons, yes, but a real friend just wouldn't do that to a friend! It's good that she is back and that Emmet finally gets what he craved for so long; I guess, I'm a bit torn about her return as for now....
Gosh, when Bella told Edward about the talk with Rose...*sigh* and when he asked and obviously feared that that would mean his time with Bella was up...*double sigh*!!! OMG- those two are really killing me! The sweet moments and gestures they have and share with each other, they leave me quite jealous! =)
Just want to let you know, even if I rant on and get frustrated about their denseness and stubbornness- I really love this story! If I wouldn't like it at all, I had stopped reading a long time ago! ^^ Your story really gets me worked up (and leaves me hot and bothered...just sayin'... =) ^^ ) So glad I started reading it! Besides, the more they have to suffer and the more hurdles they have to overcome, the more we can appreciate their sweet and tender moments AND their happy end! ;D
-Sue
Author's Response:
I was gone for most of the weekend, so I read your reviews on my phone but couldn't really post responses. You're the only person who thought she forgave too easily! I love hearing differing opinions on it! Emmett is very happy and I can't wait for you to read Rosalie's POV of when she was in NY, I think you'll like it a lot.
I am so pleased you do plan to stick with the story. I'd hate to lose you! Getting frustrated (and hot and bothered) by the story tell me I'm doing something right!
Thanks so much for the review!
Date: 24 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30 - I Don't Have Anything
Oh wow...it's safe to say that the lasttwochapter broke my heart! Gosh,they were so, so sad and just so filledwith longing and desperation!Oh my....Again, they were both so damn close to say something to the other...but didn't!!! I really felt all their pain and it made my heart ache for them! The fact that they just couldn't stop touching each other and take as much of the other in....*sigh* Damn, you're really good! =)
I wonder when we get to hear from EPOV! I'm pretty certain that he feels exactly like Bella, but I'd still really love to hear from him! I'm loving this story so much! You're doing such a good job!
-Sue
Author's Response:
Writing it was hard, it made me sad too. It was ultimately a fairly easy chapter to write. I dated a guy who lived halfway across the country from me and we had some very difficult partings. I knew exactly how Bella was feeling.
You won't get to hear Edward's POV until the story is over. There are some outtakes and the epilogue from his perspective though and I think you'll really enjoy them.
Thanks for the review!
Date: 24 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32 - I Kissed A Girl
Me again! =)
Let me start off with saiying that I really like Claire so far. She seems nice enough and as far as I can tell so far, she and Bella have enough in common. I think the fact that she was Mike's sis freaked me out more than anything else so far!^^ =) I can understand that Bella would fel attracted to her and honestly, I doubt that there are many girls out there that haven't felt attracted to a girl at least once in their life and maybe even kissed/fooled around a bit with the same sex- so I don't see any, nor do I have any problem with that!Just to make that clear ( i think I wouldn't be reading this story if I had any problems with that...lol..^^) I also know that this instant attraction, both physically and emotionally is possible, and it is obvious that Bella loves Edward just as much as before, yet it somehow seems a bit sudden, maybe?! I'm not sure that comes out right and I can't really explain it any better...crap! I'm not claiming that Bella's feelings and love for Edward is not that deep or fickle! To me, it just seemed rather...rash?! Fuck- how come my English always seems to go missing whenever I try to explain something important?! Please don't think I'm trying to be mean here- honestly, I'm not!!!I apologize if it seems that way!
With that being said (kind of ^^), I'm glad you pointed out in your A/N that Rose is totally Team Edward+Bella and is not trying to break them apart by encouraging Bella to get to know Claire better ;) I have to admit that I was worried there for a brief moment! AND, Rose's plan obviously worked- he seemed to be at least a bit concerned about what Bella tols him about Claire and the party! Well, 'concerned' may be a bit too much a word, but I think it at least made him wonder. And he obviously got upset when Bella pointed out to him that she wasn't his! I know she felt bad for saying that in her tipsy state as soon as she realized what she'd just said, but she seems to do that quite often...'rejecting'/'dismissing him that is, whenever he (or anybody else for that matter) try to approach that chapter! And I can really understand that she is scared of losing him or even openeing up to him like that in the first place, but I don't think she realizes that she hurts him by doing so! Oh well,..then again, IF she knew, I doubt she would do it, anyway!
Ok, enough with rambling here and up to the next chapter! =) Happy Easter!
-Sue
Author's Response:
I am glad you liked Claire so much. I've been looking forward to hearing from you about her.
That's so funny that you were a bit weirded out by the fact that she's Mike's sister. That might be a totally new one in the fandom. :)
I'm glad you mentioned that it seemed a bit sudden or rash to you, I want to hear what you guys think, about ALL of it. I can only go from what I know personally, and I have been there, so perhaps I didn't convey it as well as I should have. I don't think you're being mean at all. I love polite, constructive criticsm.
I knew people would be concerned about Rose's motivation. And I think concerned is the right word. Not that he wanted her pining away at home for him, but the idea that she could be interested in anyone else is worrisome to him. Yes, she does dismiss and reject him. It's a way for her to avoid the whole issue, but instead of helping, it's just making things worse. And no, she has no idea she's hurting him by doing it. She's not deliberately cruel, just dealing with it immaturely.
Happy Easter to you too, even if it is belated!
Date: 24 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 34: Chapter 34 - Everybody Here Wants You
First off- I think it was absolutely sweet of Edward that he thought about her and sent her flowers for VD!^^ It was quite cute! And I'm glad that Bella didn't had to spent the day alone - even if she forget about the date anyway! At least Claire took take her mind off of Edward!
I can so undestand all those doubts and insecurities regarding Edward and him being so far away! I'd probably feel the same- especilly since they haven't come clean about their feelings! It doesn't necessarily mean that she doesn't trust him at all- it's all that's been nagging on her combined! Also, I can understand that she feels like he is pulling away...I'm not sure if he is really doing so, though! I mean yeah, the talk about the food he ate was kind of lame, but on the other hand she doesn't give too much away about her feelings away in her mails either! The 'I miss you'-part aside, of course! AGAIN- THEY BOTH chicken out on talking about that part too much! Or, when one of them tries/attemps to talk about it, the other one or a something else interferes! Oh my...that sucks sooooo much!! Grrrrr! ^^ Of course there is the possibility that she really is reading way too much into his mail because of all the stuff that is nagging on her! Maybe it was just his way of letting her know more about his time over in Italy but she just can't see it like that?!
I can really relate to Bella feeling so lonely! Alice and Rose aren't around all the time and neither are Emmet and Jasper! They have their own stuff to tend to and o course, they have each other! Even if they were, it still wouldn't be the same for Bella...Besides, it's important to meet new people every now and then and let them in...so Claire is a perfect 'distraction' to fill the void! ^^
Author's Response:
I thought the freesias were a nice touch, a bit like the necklace. Not traditional, but still beautiful and absolutely her style.
It is so easy to start to get insecure and paranoid about a relationship when it's long distance, but without the actual words out there and a tenuous arrangement at best and a whole lot of things unsaid...it's kind of a recipe for distaster.
He can't say what he really wants to, so he fills the emails with small details of his days there. But without the physical reassurance, all she has to go on our the awkward and slightly shallow emails.
Thanks for the review!
Date: 24 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36 - You Look Like Rain
Ooooooh wow! Now what do you think about that?! Edward flew all the way back home to visit her and she told him that she loved him!Even though he was difted far away in slumberland- that was a first step in the right direction! Whooop for that! =)If there was any doubt left about his feelings for her...they've defintely been erased now!^^
Oh, and speak about tension! Claire and Edward meeting at the party..oh damn! It was obvious that Claire was/is attracted to Bella as well (especially since the previous chapter), but I think it's more than that for her aswell! Not sure if she is in love with Bella, but I think she at least has a crush! I just wonder if ALice or someone else spilled something about the whole Bella& Claire thing to Edward...obviously he talked to them as well...He was a bit too tense meeting her if he only knew about the kiss, the VD non-date and them hanging out, I think! Could also be a part of their friends plan to force him and Bella to finally admit what they feel for each other! I'm not completely sure though...yet! =)
Hmmm...if I could make a wish for a scene I'd like to read from EPOV, I'd ask for the graduation party at Rose's house! I'd love to hear about that from him and how/what lead to him to make the first move! The poker night incident would be interesting also! Or, the first day he actually talked to her for real- when they went to get breakfast for everyone together! Hell, I think I'd like to read the whole story from his POV, but I don't want to sound greedy here! =)
Too bad I'm out of chapters now! That kinda sucks!!! I really can't wait to read more- this story really is so damn good! I'm looking forward to see how they're going to spend Edward's trip back home and if there'll be more Claire encounters and if things will get easier for Bella while he is back home...I doubt it, but I really can't wait to find out!!! I start waiting impatiently for the next chapter and putting this story on my favs list!
-Sue
Author's Response:
I knew you guys would be surprised! It is a small step, but Bella is trying.
I won't say much about Claire's feelings for Bella, because you will learn more about that in the upcoming chapters. But yes, there was tension, and awkwardness. Aside from Alice helping Edward surprise Bella (at his request) Alice has stuck to her promise to stay out of it, as are the rest of their friends. Edward didn't need any more information than what Bella told him. He knows her well enough to read what she isn't saying.
The epilogue will be from Edwards POV, and although I can't completely write the whole story from his POV, the epi will broadly go over all of the chapters. Little bits and pieces of what he thought when certain events happened (Rose's party, the poker party, etc.) I probably will do no more than one or two outtakes of an entire chapter from his perspective, and I haven't made a final decision on that yet.
I am posting the chapters as they get validated on Twilighted, so as soon as a chapter goes up there, I post it here. I am going as fast as my validation beta can manage!
Thanks for the review and for all of the lovely compliments!
Date: 25 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 38: Chapter 38 - Confusion
Oh boy!!!! Hell yeah- that was pretty damn fuckhot!!! Jeeez! =) I don't have much time, so this is a short one! I think the day spent together was awfully cute! The fact that they at least talked a little bit about them and Claire was good! Even though I felt relly sad for Edward! It was obvious that it bothered him! Also, I'd really like to give Bella an extra slap to the back of her head! She keeps on wondering if he could feel the same way about her as she feels for him- claims that she can see it in his eyes and all his gestures, yet, when he basically spills the beans to her, she chickens out, or better to say, doesn't take what he said to her really serious!!! FRUSTRATION!!!! GAH!!! I love them both, and I said before that I can understand her fears and that she is confused about her feelings for Claire as well...BUT, if she keeps that up, Edward may think that she just isn't that interested in him or a serious relationship!!! Again, please don't think I'm saying this to be mean or that I don't like this story of yours! I absolutely love it!It's so damn good that I just can't help myself but get worked up about this!!!=) Ok, this got longer than I actually planned!^^ Can't wait for the next chapter! =)
-Sue
Author's Response:
It's baby steps in the right direction for them. And yes, it did bother him.
I think you'll really like the next chapter! It'll go up in a couple of hours, so you don't have long to wait!
Date: 26 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 39: Chapter 39 - Clementine
Ok, first of all- damn girl, you are a fast updater!!! Jeeez, you must be some kind of energizer bunny or something like that! ;D
With that being said...OMFG! I think I better switch panties! This chapter was so damn hot, it wasn't even funny anymore! Don't got me wrong- all their previous encounters were fuckjot as well- but there was something about this one...hmm..maybe it was the kink? But then again, they weren't all missionary to begin with! =) Whatever it was, it ways so damn hot and good! ^^
OMG, I swear my skin pebbled when Edward basically laid his sould bare for her! And even though he didn't say those damned three words, by now everything he had said to her regarding his feelings and waht she mean to him combined, would beat a simple 'I love you' by far! I'm not gonna lie, Bella really pissed me off when she didn't say anything to him in return- it was another chance wasted- but when she burst out crying silently as to not wake Edward up, I felt really bad and sad for her also! She isn't a cheater, but I can understand why she would feel that way! *Sigh* what are we supposed to do with her?
I really can't believe that everything else said that Rose was all forgiven! Really?! Jeeeez! Oh, I'm rella looking forward to read her POV, though! ^^ Do you have any idea how many chapters this story is going to have? Just curious, it just seems as if this all was just the beginning and there's still a lot to come! NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING! I think by now, you must know that I love this story! ^^
I love the Edward is back - chappies, but I'm also sad because his time is coming to an end! I wonder if there will be another encounter with Claire? Btw, is Claire actually Bella's next door neighbour? I kinda forgot! If so- how thin are those walls?! B and E are not exactly the mute one while getting it on...hearing this would be awfully cruel! Thanks so much for sharing this story, especially since the are some personal elements/ experiences in it as well! ^^ Imaptiently waiting to read more =)
-Sue
Author's Response:
I am only such a fast updater because I had the story 95% finished when I started posting it. I am amazed by authors who post as they write, but my brain doesn't work that way! I am also not working with a pre-reader or beta, so that speeds things up. All I have to do it upload to the validation queue on Twilighted and the beta there checks it over quickly and it's ready to go.
I am glad you liked the chapter so much. I was glad it struck the right note with the kink, I wasn't quite sure how it would go over.
I was looking for a way for Edward to convey how much she matters to him without saying I Love You. You're supposed to be frustrated with Bella right now, she's dealing with everything badly, but I am glad you were sympathetic toward her too. It's exactly what I was going for. All you can do with her is be patient. :)
I know forgiving Rose is difficult. I can honestly say (since that part is definitely based on my own experience) that when you have a friend you've known for that long and are that close to, it's amazing what you're willing to forgive.
The story will be an even 50 chapters. They are all written. I am finishing up the epilogue and some outtakes right now, but the actual end (happy Bella and Edward together) is not as far off as you might think. 11 chapters to go!
Yes, Bella and Claire are technically next door to each other. If you walk down the hall, Bella's room is at the very end of the hall, straight ahead. Claire's door is to the right. So the doors are perpendicular to each other. They would sort of share a wall. The idea for the dorm (and Bella's room) was based on a dorm I lived in, and it was a very old building with really thick walls. So yes, Claire could have heard them, but no, it wouldn't be particularly bad, like the really thin walls in some hotels and apartments.
Thanks so much for the review!
Date: 07 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 49: Chapter 49 - I Never Thought I'd Break
Hey there!!!
Yeah, I know- it's been a while! Sorry about that! But please know I didn't abandon BC!!!! I never could!
And well, oh boy.....FINALLY Bella got over her biggest obstacles and sees things clearly now!!!! About damn time! I feel sorry for her having to go through so much pain and hurt these last chapters, but I think in the end it was kinda necessary.... I guess the line 'You never know what you have until it's gone' is quite fitting! Jasper was really cute taking care of her! So were the girls in their semi- unconventional ways to help her! =)
I loved Charlie! God, he was cute!^^ Sometimes, those you expect the least to, help you out the most! Oh my, I think I ate the smartass cereals today! ;D
I really can't wait to see how the first interaction between B&E will be like! I'm not talking about if they are going to instantly jump each others bones or not (though that is a really goos question^^), but more like how they'll meet..by coincidence on the street or iff she is really just going to show up at his apartment in nothing but heels and a trench coat! And I do wonder if everything will be fine between them and they hit it off right away or if they are taking it slow...etc! ^^
Loved it!!!
-Sue
Author's Response:
I was surprised I hadn't heard from you yet! But I didn't think you'd abandoned the story.
As rough as it all was, Bella did need to go through it.
I am glad you liked Jasper and Charlie and the girls. She needed them all.
So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the review!
Date: 07 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 50: Chapter 50 - Amado Mio
OMG!!!!! THE LAST CHAPTER?!?!?! GAH- I know it was coming- you said so yourself- but I thought there was at least another one before the epi and outtakes!!! OMG!!!!
But thinking about more maturely, I think this was a really good and nice place to end this! It was perfect, really, Them being together all peacefully and with a clean slated...yeah, it was perfect. Period! The reunion was quite sweet...awwww...when Edward showed up shortly after midnight- how cute was that?! And then they were both somewhat insecure and awkward...very authentic in my book! Honestly, wishful thinking aside, I'm glad they didn't jump at each other the moment they set food into her apartment without talking everything out! I'm also glad they were so honest and sincere with each other, at last!
They both came such a long way and went though so much to finally end up together for real! They both grew up and matured, independantly but also with each other. I think they both learned enough about themselves to know that they can make it. They both experienced what it was like to be apart from the other, without the other. They were both devasted and broken but in the non-emotionally-dependant way! They just love each other. They had feelings for the other long enough without really acting on it, they experienced the physical connection first before they really allowed and admitted to themselves that there was more! They also both experienced being with other people to be sure enough....Edward is a bit older and had his fare share of experience (even if it wasn't the relationship-type), Bella never had a relationship before, but she too experienced this and that; the heartbreak, the insecurities, feeling attracted to someone else, meeting people....I like to think that they are both so serious and sure about this to make it work and that they know this is it!l! So yeah, I think they went through enough ups and downs to make it last!
We both know that I often complained and shook my head about some of thing that your chars did within this story (necessary for the outcome or not)- but I absolutely love this story!!! I'm so glad I started reading it!^^ I really can't wait for the epi and outtakes!!! =) Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!! You did an awesome job!

I knew I was going to surprise people with how fast the end came up. But I am glad you understand why I ended it there.
I loved Edward showing up at midnight, it was the perfect gesture to show how much he cared. I tried very hard to make it realistic and authentic.
I am really glad that despite your concerns and frustration you stuck with the story. I think you're really going to enjoy all of the outtakes and the epilogue chapters.
Thanks for the review!

Awwwwww.......!!! Yes, yes, I liked hearing from Edward! It was really good to see his side of the story! Even though he too pissed me off from time to time...oh well, they are Bella and Edward after all, so that was to be expected! =) lol But sometimes, a slap to the back of the head does wonders...so maybe he should have got a little beating from Jazz and Em...! Just kidding ^^
The reunion was really good,too.. it was so sweet and finally they did things in the right order! ( if I got a dollar for every time I used the word 'finally' in my reviews, I'd probably be quite rich by now...^^)
I loved it!
-Sue
Author's Response:
Yay, so glad you liked hearing his perspective.
Edward was a bit more with it, but definitely not without fault. I did love Jasper and Emmett's threats throughout. :)
And I am glad you liked the reunion. It took them forever to get there, but I think it was worth it.
Thanks for the review!
Bella transfers to the University of Washington her junior year. The incredibly beautiful guy with the coppery-bronze hair is such a jerk when their lives first collide, but they can't ignore the fact that they are drawn to each other. However...Bella has a boyfriend back home and Edward is adamantly unavailable; a horrible experience in his past has made him reluctant to form any attachments or new friendships. But sometimes, when you least expect it, you find something you didn't even know you were looking for; something that will change your life irrevocably and unconditionally.
Lots of humor, tons of romance and occasional angst, featuring a rather nosy and intrusive Emmett, Rose, Jasper and Alice. Add a potential stalker into the mix to stir things up. Top it all off with undeniable sexual tension and eventually some very hottt sexy-times.
A big round of applause for Z-21 and Twi-Holoic for the amazing banners! *clap, clap, clap, clap, clap*

*waves frantically while jumping up and down to get your attention* Remember me?!?! CHAPTER 37??? HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!! OMFG- I have soooo much to caught up to!!!! Can't wait for that to happen! I probably won't manage to read everything at once, but I will read everything! Sucking all in like a sponge....or something else.. =) lmao See what you do to me?! I hardly manage three sentences without an innuendo!!! ^^ Something's.. I mean somebody is rubbing off on me...^^ (And apparently, it gets worse by the second...or word in this case ^^ )
Awwww... das war so ein geiles chapter! I really couldn't tell what I liked best! I loved the way B and E were making out of course! It as so cute how Edward tried to think with the head that's connected with his shoulders and not just give in and rush into things, but kinda failed ^^ Oh well, it's the thought that counts ^^ Also I loved the Cullen-Hale Inquisition /Entourage! God, they are so damn funny! Ooooh, and Emmet's Mediterranean Brownies..that's something that could happen to me too ;D Though I probably wouldn't brag about it =) OMG and I nearly peed my pants at the last part and the imaginary/fake guy-love incident ^^ Thanks for the mental image of Jasper (wearing a skilt) and Edward(flipping his hair) walking down the streets while holding hands =)
Yor are really nuts-but I luv it! ^^
Bis später!^^

GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm 10 freakin' days behind in review replies!!! And I can't get my fingers to fly away on the keyboard. I'm suffering from ennui and I don't even speak French!!!
I was so happy to hear from you Liebe Sue! So you were flipping out at my update of chapter 37 and meanwhile I'm up to 41. Ream me when you get the chance. I know how it goes. And I'm really just refining things as I go, so that's why I'm speedy. Just keep in touch as you read and suck things up, you little sponge-like-sucker! (Just keep your damn hands off my Edward...no sucking going on there, girlfriend!)
Glad you enjoyed the Spanish Inquisition and the Mediterranean Brownies. The brownies were actually made by my daughter when she was about eleven years old and I wasn't home. She took out the brownie mix, went to use the vegetable oil, discovered it was about empty, shrugged her little not-so-knowledgeable-shoulders and used the olive oil instead. Gag!
And the fake guy-love...I think I'll dabble in that a bit if I ever get to doing outtakes. That would be a scene worth writing about---Edward and Jasper---just to make the girls around them cringe and be wistful. ;)
Thanks for the review. Keep in touch bb-chen!

OMG! Is it wrong that I basically laughed my ass off while reading this?!?! Those two were too hilarious! ;D Really good!
Author's Response:
Hi Sue!
I have been lovieng your reviews! I couldn't wait to get home to start responding.
So...chapter 1...no it's not wrong that you laughed your ass off reading about poor Edward being run over by a cart filled with Bella's dorm essentials...and tampons! They were both so out of character for where they're headed. It'll be funny to go back and read that chapter down the road and/or see them reflect on that first meeting.
Glad you're liking it.

Gah! I sooo agree with what you just said about reviews and Edward's naked chest...*yummy*
I liked the recap in EPOV...hmmm..he said her eyes were pretty ^^ They already got it bad without knowing it! Especially when Jessica said that he never speaks with any females if he can avoid it, and he and Bella already had their fair share of yelling, spatting, growling and whatnot! ^^ Ooooh...can't wait for more! ^^ Do I want to meet Vicky?!?!
-Sue
Author's Response:
Hi again
Chapter 2...Edward's naked chest, sweaty or not, it's a good place to be. ;) I'm glad you liked the recap in EPOV. At least for now I like giving his view of things. It's not exactly the same as Bella's view of things, so I like showing both sides. Midnight Sun was actually my favorite Twilight book and I'll be sad forever that Stephenie Meyer never finished it. It's kind of what drives my Edward...I loved that Edward had such a tongue-in-cheek, wry, dry, broody sense of humor. So I wanted my Edward to be kind of cranky like that. :)
And yes...they are already interested and noticing things about each other that they shouldn't be if they wanted to keep everything on the up and up. He has avoided girls, but she managed to sneak past his line of defense with that little cart fiasco.
Thank you for the review.

Ungh...Jake was really annoying! Needy, possessive and annoying! Oh my, so Edward is guilt- ridden and therefore so cranky? Can't wait to learn more about that! I really, really like the characters and story so far! ^^
-Sue
Author's Response:
Hi once more!
Everything you said about Jake is true. He's just really immature compared to Bella. (and now to Edward as well). He's also afraid of exactly what is happening...losing her as she goes off out into the world and expands her horizons. And yes, Edward is cranky for a reason. We'll get there. He's not ready to let Bella know just yet but there will come a time.
I'm glad you are in 'like' with my characters and story so far. :)

Wow, Vicky is even worse than I've thought! I'm all for Lauren and Bella exchange roomies! I just know that Lauren is a biotch, so she and Vicky could form a cruesome twosome!!! ;D
I like the Cullen and gang reunion! That was funny!^^ Oh, and I think I would already change the B/E relationship status from 'interested' to 'affected' because seriously- what else can you say to that?!^^
She was just some girl, nothing special. - keep telling yourself that, Edward!!! ^^
I love it! - Sue
Author's Response:
Hi, it's me again, your cyber stalker!
Sorry about my author's notes. I feel compelled to leave them. Victoria is not the best roommate choice and gotta let you know, she's kind of based on my own college roommate...to a point.

Sorry about making you all distracted last chapter and making you misspell. I'll keep my distractions to myself next time.

Date: 21 Mar 2011 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Starting to Squirm
OMG! My mind is such a happy plaxe right now! ;D
"A shirtless and sweaty Edward Cullen, with his shorts slung low. It doesn't get much better than that, girls. Look at that perfect body. Imagine how much fun it would be to play with him until he was all sweaty like that." - AMEN!!! Hell to the effing yes!!!
And yeah, squirming he is! ^^ I think he realizes that he does so,but I don't think that he recognizes why he does so! Or better to say, he will deny why is going to act that way! I mean, the whole Newton incident, he is going to keep an eye on him and pretend to do so because Newton is an ass and he wants to make sure that he won't lure Bella in...BUT he so doesn't want him around her in general AND he was fucking jealous/irritated about Jake...so yeah...ungh..I'm rambling because I can't get that picture of you-know-who-with-his-body-like-you-know-how-and-his-pants-hanging-you-know-where out of my head!!!! *Yummy with whipped cream and a cherry on top*
I love it!^^ Oh, and Jazzy is a hero! ^^
-Sue
Author's Response:
I think Jessica really summed up all our thoughts about sweaty E.C. Edward is just about ready to boil over with all this newfound confusion regarding Bella. He's pissed at Newton and I mean, yeah, I could see how easy that would be, but really, it's all because of Bella and the potential that Newton will sweep Bella away or something. He doesn't realize that he already is jealous/irritated at other males for having/wanting what he would like to have himself.
Loved this: ""I can't get that picture of you-know-who-with-his-body-like-you-know-how-and-his-pants-hanging-you-know-where out of my head!!!! ""

Nice 'Sex on fire' story, btw! ;D
Author's Response:
Bubbles are fragile things, TiramiSue! The little bubble got burst. Had to happen. There will be quite a few ups and downs but that's to be expected and it will only make them stronger in the end and they will be so appreciative of it when they get the "go-ahead."

Need to read more!

Author's Response:
Hii bb, stalker here...
That was frustrating, no? So near and yet so far...he does kind of want her and she kind of does want him. there are sparks sparking. But I think it's too earlyfor them both. He might run scared if she gave in and she wouldn't do that hbehind Jake's back. So...we've got to wait for the right time.
You like that my characters are like the original ones, yet different? Or are you saying that B & E are similar but different? I think you probably mean all the characters, compared to Twilight. I took what I loved best about each of them and just kicked things up a notch, I think. Or maybe tried to make them a little more like their college counterparts would be. I know I have/had friends that are similar to some of the aspects of each of them. Maybe that's what makes them likeable, they feel familiar.
Thanks for spending so much time reading this today!

Maybe Vicky should do one good deed and use her magics effing crytals and enlighten Bella's path or whatever it is she does with them, so that Bella finally end her relationship with him! BUT, on the other hand, I actually can't wait for Jake to come along- yeah it would cause mro drama, but it would also lead to a pissed off and probably possessive/protective/ maybe even aggressive Edward.... And come on...it doesn't get much hotter that that! At least not fully clothed! ;D ;D ;D Lol!

Ooooh, and I absolutely love their inner ramblings!!!!^^ And of course, Eddie got to play hero of the day! And how cute was the whole gym and incident?! ^^ And holy shit- he is a goner. Totally smitten! Again, not that I expected anything else, but concerning the guilt trip he was/is on....yeah, Bella pretty much worked her magic! Now we have to get her to get rid of the puppy! NOW!!!
I'm absolutely speechless about the Jasper wearing a kilt thing! Lemme see! ;D ^^

Author's Response:
Hi Sue!
Glad you are able to find the awesomeness in a chapter that deals with an underwear drawer, bedding inhalation with a side of boner, the inner ramblings of two people who are coming unraveled, and having the girl of your daydreams fall into your arms from the heavens above.
He's a goner, she's a goner...we just have to wait for Jake to be a goner.

Reviewers/reasers response:
Hey banner! ^^
OMG- I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED A CHAPTER YESTERDAY! How the hell did that happen?!?!?! ^^ Ii it wasn't for you telling me, I probably would have never known! Jeeeez! ^^
Damn it, you and your awesome story are killing me! ;D And don't worry about the cyber stalking- I think it's safe to say that it's kinda mutual! After all, I tried to read all the chapters you had posted so far neck to neck yesterday (and failed miserably when I realized that it was already 2:30am over here (Germany) and that I really, really had to go to bed! ^^ )
I really love your characters and especially Edward (uh duh- everything else would be a lie ^^)! I always liked Midnight Sun better than Twilight, even though it's only 12 chapters of the story- but it's soooooooo much better from his POV AND i totally agree with you and say that his inner monologue and dry wit are effing awesome! I really wish that SM would change her mind and finish it! I'd totally do all the chores she has to do at home in exchange for that... Just sayin'...in case SM reads this...;D I really think that you did a really good job in using her original characters and adding your own twists and quirks to them, without making them appear too OOC (at least until now ;D ) Not that I have a problem with the charcters being ooc- that can be highly entertaining... *eyebrow wiggling*
Oh my, I absolutely love your story, your responses and your wit! Jeez- I almost spit my coffee all over my laptop screen when I read this ' he's a goner, she's a goner...we just have to wait for Jake to be a goner' AND the commet about me trying to llok under Jackson's kilt! Mwahaha- I would so do that!^^ But then again..most definitely not- I'm way too shy for doing something like that... ;D
I never had a roommate before, but if this Vicky character is only remotely based on an actual person....O.M.G. !!!
AND, last but not least, as for you saying that your surprised that I could find joy in things like draawers full of underwear and whatnot....- what can I say, it's the simple things in life that make me happy...fictional characters getting a boner from sniffing someone else's bedding is deifnitely part of that...! ;D ;D ;D
Ok, gotta go now... there are still some chaps left ;D

Author's Response:
Guten Morgen!
I don't know...you're in Germany. Does this mean you're German? Your English seems way too perfect. Tell me your deal and I'll tell you mine: I was a German major in college, lived in Germany my junior year (in Goettingen) and loved it. Traveled all over the place between semesters and came back to the US (California) to finish my degree and get a teaching credential. I used to teach German, now I am teaching Spanish in a high school.
I love the personality that comes through your reviews and I'm so glad I cyber-spanked you for skipping chapter 10. :) Actually I felt funny mentioning it...because you certainly don't have to review every chapter, it just seemed like you were that kind of reader. And I looked at the times the two surrounding reviews had been posted. It didn't seem like there was time for two chapters. Anyhow...glad you went back to read. Obviously Bella has some durrrty going on in her mind afterall. ;)
I'm glad you are loving my characters. Rose is rather slow to develop and the boys are the most fun to play with, although Alice is the world's best roommate and mastermind of romantic pairings. Edward...I just love Edward. I love my Edward a lot. He's mine. but i'm sharing him and I'm glad you are liking him.
I totally agree about Midnight Sun and the EPOV in it. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better from his POV...God how I wished that book had continued! And I agree with you, I'll do that woman's laundry and scrub her floors if she'll just sit down and let Edward flow.
I am enjoyiing your reviews and your wit---I haven't poured myself any coffee yet, but I'd be spitting it out on my computer too if I had already started drinking. I'm sorry you're too shy to peek under Jackson's/Jasper's kilt. I'll hold your hand and we'll do it together, okay, bb?
Yeah, my college roommate wouldn't let me rearrange the furniture because she lived there the year before and "this is how the furniture fits best". What did I do about that, you ask? I was becoming friends with the dorm hottie (my Edward) and he and another dorm hottie (must have been my Jasper) invaded my room and took over, moving things, putting my bed up on risers so I could get away from the nut-job that was my roommate. After the first quarter of school, nut-job transferred to a different school and I got to room with my Alice. We put our beds up on risers with the help of the hotties and we created a Swanky Fort beneath them. :) There. Oh...one more thing..."My name is Bella and this is my story..." LOL
So a few things are autobiographical.
Thank you for reading, for reviewing and writing so much fun stuff when you do. I'm having a lot of fun here.

Awwwww...that was so sweet but also soooo sad! They both just admitted that they were feeling something for the other but they can't act upon it! I think my heart beat a bit faster when I read the last part.... Don't get me wrong- I'm all for inappropriate jokes and innuendos and pervy fantasies and whatnot..but deep down, I'm a drama and lovestory loving romantic! I know that it's probably too soon for them to act on their feelings, just like you said, but I just wanted him to grab her face and kiss her!! Yeah, I know, he still has his emotional luggage and the notion to not act as long as Jake is in the picture. On top of that, he is trying to protect Bella just as much as himself. And Bella is just torn! I think that, deep down she knows that her ffeling for Edward are already stronger than her feelings for Jake, but Bella being Bella rather sacrifices her own happiness than making anybody else miserable! *sigh* I gotta feeling that this going to get intense.... (can't wait!) Damn you- I can't get the picture out of my head how they are both sitting in the DFSF, gazing into each others eyes and he leans forward to caress her cheek.... Poor babies!

Hallo Schatz!
Awww...I know...Edward and Bella..they care about each other but they're not in the right place for anything to happen yet! I'm also all for the romantic love story. And I too love the pervy jokes and innuendos, but there's a time and a place. This isn't the place...yet. ;)
And yes, you wanted him to grab her and kiss her, I did too, but instead he's being noble. Which is what she needs. Because when she's finally ready, it's going to be that much more spectacular. I promise! He's got baggage and he needs to share that with her. We don't want either of them to get overwhelmed and run the other way (screaming for the hills...). We need to get Jake out of the picture before the picture can bring Edward into focus.
They both know they have feelings...it's just a matter of time. And you are exactly right about Bella. She's sacrificing her own happiness because she's loyal and doesn't want to do the wrong thing...although she WILL realize it's the right thing. This IS going to get intense. Poor babies...

Oh that was sooo good! Edward couldn't keep his hands to himself. He went from hand on her waist to stroking her hair...someone's got it ba-ad...^^ Wooohooo!

Maybe he'll lose a bet against Emmet again or something...but they've been mentioned twice now and he is fighting it too damn much! Emmet could so use that against him! ^^ Lol! Jasper is a freak!

Gruesse aus Kalifornien!
Okay, here's the deal...when the story is through I'll auction my Edward off to the highest bidder. Good luck to you. Glad you liked the "date night" out with the gang. Sneaky Alice...she decides a nice way to thank the guys for helping her and B is to take them out for dinner. It's a date in disguise!
And yes...sneaky Edward (obviously it runs in the family) touching Bella because he just can't help himself. I think they both went a little overboard with their "displays" as they marked their territory---or at least staked a claim to it.
Poor Edward...having to deal with Emmett and Jasper giving him a hard time because he's kind of interested in B and they can tell.
Ah yes...the assless chaps...you knew they'd come back and be important somehow. You just didn't expect how. And Jasper is my sweet little freak. Don't you say unkind things about him or I won't let you look up his skirt...or kilt...or "SKILT" ever again.

Yeah, I really can't wait for him to visit Bella and see him and Edward get along (and maybe, If Jake keeps that attitude, Emmet and Jasper need to drop their two cents in also!) ^^
I think Bella could use soe light slapping to the back of her head also! Jeeez, girl, open your eyes already! That damn dream could soooo become reality!!! (BTW, I'd sooo wanna have that dream, too...sans Jake, though....Oh WTF scratch that- I. WANT.

But seriously, Stop.Fighting.It, Bella!!!

(Ja, sie ist schon wieder da)
Jake...or Jerk...same thing...He needs to go. He's just too needy and he shouldn't be angering Bella and making her feel bad like he does. It'll be interesting when he visits. I can assure you.
And Bella..seriously...if she can't open her eyes and smell the Edwards, she should maybe just keep Jerk...I mean Jake...and let the rest of us divide Edward up and share him. But you are right...she can't just drop Jerk...I mean Jake...like a hot potato. She's got to really think this over. What if Edward is just a passing fancy? Whet if she truly does belong with Jerk?...I mean Jake.
And as to those assless chaps...just imagine what Emmett will do with those things. ;) Only Rose will know for sure. ;D
Hope you like the newest chapter. And maybe you'll take a look at the other story I'm just starting?? I think it has real potential.

HalliHallo!
*Insert sigh* Oh my...what can I say? Edward's story was sad, but I expected worse, and I'M glad it wasn't as bad and heartbreaking as I feared it would be! BUT I'm really, really glad that Edward opened up some more and told her about it! He's doing so gooin in etting her in and I absolutely loved to see the two of them interact so freely with each other and banter during their little game!
There's sooooo gonna be a birthday- party for Bella! Or at least a supersweet-it-makes-mý-heart-melt-damn-you-SM-for-creating-the-perfect-boyfriend-and-ruin-me-for-any-other-guy-due-to-this-fictional-characters'-awesomeness-thoughtful gesture/gift from Edward. Or both- I mean, Alice is his sistr after all and the pixie has her ways...^^
I'm soooo looking forward to the auction!^^ Achja! As if I'd ever say anything bad about Jacksper!!! Ich liebe diesen kleinen Freak! And I mean 'freak' in a positive way! ^^
I promise to check out OST as soon as I finish writing the next chappie for my own story! I kinda neglected my little baby in the last few days and need to make amends! ;D
Hoffe, dir geht es gut!
Bis später, Hase ;D ;D

Guten Morgen!
Jetzt muss ich dir dreimal schreiben denn ich war vorher zu beschaeftigt. Es tut mir leid wenn ich Fehler mache, aber es ist vielleicht zehn Jahre bis ich sehr viel auf deutsch geschrieben/gelesen/gesprochen habe. Aber Uebung macht den Meister, nicht? Und es macht Spass deine Reviews zu lesen: ganz tolles English geschrieben mit etwas Deutsch reingespritzt. :)
Der arme Edward...his backstory is sad, but at least there hasn't been any abuse like in many stories. I couldn't go there. But he is letting Bella in. and she's the right kind of girl to let in. (Duh!) Their interaction feels easy and fun, I think. She's not "after" him, so maybe that is why he is so comfortable getting to know her. there is no pressure there.
Bella's birthday...you'll have to wait and see. It's not what you are expecting. But Edward will be thoughtful. You'll love it, but it's not what you are expecting. :)
Jasper ist wirklich ein Freak, aber ein ganz suesser Freak. Ich kann mir Jasper in einem Kleid mit einer Perlenhalskette (?) ganz gut vorstellen. ;D Und trotzdem wuerde er ganz maennlich aussehen. Hoffentlich macht das Sinn. Oder Unsinn is vielleicht besser, denn dieser Jasper ist so.
Danke fuer dein/deinen/deine??? Review.
Tschuess!

Awwwwwww.....*sqeal* I know, I know...we are not there yet...they still have to work things out...need more time...yada yada...BUT- and I can only repeat myself- *SQUEAL* Trust Edward to always find a way to show her how precious she is to him even though he can't officially act upon it! Yeah, pockets apparently do not help all the time! (and thank God for that) Oh. My. God!!! The almost-kiss II ;D
Ooooooh, Alice and Jasper are so game to kick Jerk..I mean Jake out of the picture! Woohooo! And I don't think Emmet would like to miss out on all the fun! ^^
And, ach du meine Güte, I absolutely loved- loved- how you interlaced events/conversations and whatnot from the original Twilight into this so fittingly, while still making it your own (did that even make sense?! Scheiße... ^^) This one was my favorite :
It suddenly felt to me as though I were thirsting for something that only she could provide. And every day that thirst grew exponentially. I had only met her one week ago; I hadn’t known her long. And now I didn't know how much longer I could hold out to slake that thirst. - That was absolutely amazing, bb!
Hoffentlich hab ich jetzt auch nichts vergessen das ich sagen wollte...hmmm... next time I may have to make a lost before reviewing!^^
Jeeeeeeez- I love this story an awfully lot! I really can't wait for the next update and I'm especially awaiting the return of the Jerk..I mean Jake..!!! ^^ (yeah...you started it- now you've got to live with the consequences ;D ;D ;D) Oh, and of course for some more 'Edward and Bella 101 not quite makig out, but in the most innocent way possible they actually do'! ;D
Hoffentlich bis ganz bald!

Awwww...I know...Edward...holding back but falling in love. Oooh I just got a chill writing that. (The Power of the Edward is inescapable.) There will be all kinds of ways that he lets her know how much she means to him before they get to the good stuff. :) The almost-kiss is such a powerful thing, isn't it?
Jerk...oops, Jake...he's not going to have many fans when he gets to visit Bella.
I'm glad you liked my interweaving of Twilight concepts/lines into the story. I kind of figure the whole reason we read these fics is because we loved Twilight, so why not allude to it and pay it some homage? It's kind of a fun little game, too, trying to think what to work in where. Glad you liked Edward's "thirst" inner monologue.
Dankeschoen fuer die Geschichteliebe oder Ficliebe. I did just update last night or maybe it was this morning. I'll keep posting a chapter about everyother day or even everyday.
Glad you like the concept of calling Jerk "Jake"...or was that calling Jake "Jerk?" What's his real name? I don't even know anymore.
Thank you for reading and writing such fabelhafte Reviews!

Date: 27 Mar 2011 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19: This Might Be Working Out
*Gasp* Oh my... *Squeal* OMG!!!! Bella' finally giving in to the awesomeness that is the Edward! Jeeeez- he had me when was angry with her on the first day! ;D
I can't believe how honest they are with each other in regards to their emotions and everything around it -Not that that it something bad!! But we all know how fragile the heart is and since things are still a bit uncertain -especially since the Jerk...I mean Jake (I love doing this^^) is still in the picture- it would be easier to preotect oneself by not laying everything out in the open! Aber ich liebe dass sie nicht um den heißen Brei herumreden! ^^
BTW- I love writing in Denglisch with you, bb! ;D And don't you worry about making any mistakes or whatsoever! Everything was perfectly fine ;D
The only thing I'm a bit concerned of, is that now that Edward stays for the return of Jake...I mean Jerk, that said Jerk somehow manages to lull Bella back into being his gf and not breaking up with him and Edward gets hurt. We all know that Bella is more in love with Edward, but I dodn'tthink that the Jerk will go down without a fight! And if he'd have to use more mind-trick powers- he'll so do it - play the hurt puppy and whatnot! I just hope that Bella can stand her ground and wouldn't fall for it! If Bella won't break up with Jake..I mean Jerk and Edward has to see it, now that he cancelled his trip to visit his parents, to protect himself....that would be really awful! (Did I ramble?! I tend to do that a lot...if I did...just ignore it ;D )
On another note- Jeeeez! I loved their semi-naughty texting and playfullness! ;D Keep it coming! ;D Oh, es is zwar nicht genau das was du dir gewünscht hast, also keine Perlenhalskette und er ist auch nicht blond, aber er ist als Frau verkleidet!! Viel Spaß damit! ;D
Such a pretty lady! ;D ;D
Anyway, loved the chapter, as usual! ;D Can't wait for more and the weekend's showdown! AND I'm curious about Bella's birthday and whatever Edward has planned for her! ^^
Ok, das ist eine lange review geworde...deshalb sag ich jetzt erstmal Tschüss und bis ganz bald, Schätzelein! ;D

Ach, Du lieber Gott! So ein schoenes Maedchenmann! Ich musste das Foto ganz genau anschauen um zu sehen dass das wirklich Jackson ist. Unglaublich! LOL
I really had to laugh at your line: "Jeeez-he had me when he was angry with her (Bella) on the first day." I think what you really meant was: "He had me before I even started reading this story because this story features Edward and what's NOT to love and lust after as long as the story has an Edward, any Edward at all because all Edwards are good Edwards and that's why we are all on these sites." Right? Am I right or am I right? ;D
I'm glad to know you love discussing Jerkob...I mean Jerk...wait, no, I guess I mean Jake...that's his name, right?
I think the reason these characters can be so open and honest with each other is the fact that Bella is a rather honest person to begin with...she has no artifice about her. And knowing about Edward's past and having an idea how that has shaped him and that it makes him somewhat fragile makes her be careful to keep him in the loop. And Edward, we know, is rather sensitive and protective of her...he knows she is somewhat of a loner and doesn't really have many people in her inner circle. He realizes that in order to be with him Bella will have to remove Jake from her inner circle and he knows that will hurt her.
Und Du hast recht: sie reden nicht den heissen Brei herum...bald steigen sie in den heissen Brei hinein! You are soooooo gonna love their first kiss, my bb!
Und wir writing in Denglisch??? I thought we were expressing ourselves in Germish! My mistake! Oder Fehler!
I can't wait for your take on the next two chapters. I don't want to give anything away so I won't comment on Jake just yet. Or Jerk. Or Jerkob. But we are getting to some good stuff. And some tension. I love tension!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the texting thing in this story. It gives them a whole different way to express themselves to each other. You will see more of it as we go. And it will often be kind of naughty and playful. ;)
Thanks for the Chapterlove. Glad you enjoyed it. the Weekend Showdown is coming as is B's Geburtstag und Edward hat einen ganz edwardischen Plan schon vor. Der suesse Junge... *sigh* *drool* *puddle*
Okay. Das ist es. Bis bald Schaetzle!

Einen wunderschönen guten Morgen, Fahnentag! ;D
Now that that's been said...WTF?! No, seriously, What.The.Fuck???? AAARRRRGHHH!!!! Let's give a round of applause for the nominees in the category 'Best Jerk Appearance of the Year' : Jacob Black, Jerk Black, Jercob Black and, last but not least, Jacob Jerk! Aaaaand the Award goes to...All four of them!!! Wooohoooo!!! Alter Falter! Dude has been there for how long- an hour, tops? Yet, he manages to cause sooo much drama! I mean, ok- finding Edward's shirt like that was pretty shitty and yes, I guess I have to admit it that was a bit shady...but come on! WTF?! Stupid, testosterone and probably steroid driven puppy...!!! Ungh...he sooo lost all brownie points he had in the Cullens/Hales book ( if he had any to begin with sine we all know they are Team Edward^^) Sccrew him!!! AND he also punched Edward!! Umm..hello?! Hurting that pretty face should be a crime!!! Jeeez! ;D
On another note... *Squeal* OMG! OMG!! OMFG!!! *Claps hand frantically while jumping up and down* (Yeah- my inner Alice just took over...ignore her ;D ) Could Edward get anymore sweeter, sexier, more adorable, effable?! *blush* (Sorry! I couldn't help it ;D) Seriously, I almost died with all the sweetness he displayed in this chapter! I wanna lick the sweetness off of him- over and over again! And yes- I totally just said that!!! ;D I absolutely love his goofy side and playfulness!! First his tickle-attack in the hallway and then the food-fight-tickle-punishment!! OMG!!! That was sooo awesome! And when he secretely held her hand while watching the movie...AGAIN with the sweetness!! Jeeez! Alice and Jazz's reaction to the whole food fight incident made me laugh so hard! Wie geil war das denn?! Picking out their phones to take some pictures!! ;D ;D
Eff it all to hell- this chapter was sooo awesome! Thanks for all the mental images btw!
* I giggled at him, although for a brief few seconds I contemplated Edward, dressed in full Scottish regalia, and I thought that would be pretty easy on the eyes. - GIMME!!! Where the hell is the wind gust when you need one?! ;D ( I'm sorry,..ich bin ein bisschen versaut heute..;D )
* "Mmm, melted M&M spots." His low voice was smooth honey. He licked his lips and I died a little. - Hell yes! ;D ;D
Ohja, bevor ich es vergesse:
I really had to laugh at your line: "Jeeez-he had me when he was angry with her (Bella) on the first day." I think what you really meant was: "He had me before I even started reading this story because this story features Edward and what's NOT to love and lust after as long as the story has an Edward, any Edward at all because all Edwards are good Edwards and that's why we are all on these sites." Right? Am I right or am I right? ;D - Amen to that! That's all I can say!! ^^
AND that line cracked me up, also! Can’t skip in front of Emmett - Yes he can, as soon as Edward walks in on Emmet wearing the assless chaps, he can skip anywhere and everywhere he wants to! ;D
Ok, SchatziHasiMausi LOL- time to say goodbye for now :( BUT, before I go I have like a question- can you tell me way you say 'uncle' when you surrender playfully? I never got the reason why you say that? I've read that before a lot but never understood why they did that! ^^ Oh and if you're ever bored out of your mind, maybe you could give my story a try (Rolling in the Deep)?!...But then again...maybe you better not- you'd probably get yourself any an aneurysm or develope some kind of involuntary twitching in your right eye when stumbling over all my grammar/tense/sense mistakes!!! LOL!
See ya later, aligator! Mwah!

Hallo Sue!
I have been so ganz busy die letzten Tage! Ich habe ueberhaupt keine Zeit zu lesen oder schreiben oder Reviews zu beantworten. But I'm here now. So you weren't happy with the arrival of Jerkus Blackimus. Well, we all knew the shit would hit the fan when he arrived. Bella should have grabbed him when he arrived, explained that she'd fallen for the Ueberhunk and told Jake to head on home. Jake probably does use steroids. I never went there, but I thought I'd leave that thought up to the readers. LOL He did lose major points for hitting The Pretty on the face. Should have aimed lower...but not too low, heaven forbid! LOL
I'm glad you loved my sweet and goofy Edward. He will be quite goofy and sweet in an oh-so-sexy way for most of the story. I think it's a good mix. it's amazing what a little happy can do for a boy who has cut himself off to feeling these kinds of things for three years. You know? Enough's enough, Edward...get back out there and dazzle a girl, for God's sake!
This is one of my favorite chapters. Edward tickling, m & m's in the bed, clandestine hand-holding, Jasper and Alice taking pictures of giggling Edward in case that doesn't come around again for a decade. :)
I'm glad to know you agree with my assessment of why these sites exist:
"Jeeez-he had me when he was angry with her (Bella) on the first day." I think what you really meant was: "He had me before I even started reading this story because this story features Edward and what's NOT to love and lust after as long as the story has an Edward, any Edward at all because all Edwards are good Edwards and that's why we are all on these sites." Right? Am I right or am I right? ;D - Amen to that! That's all I can say!! ^^
You asked me why people say "uncle" and I haven't a clue. I do know a lot of language trivia, but not that one.
I haven't had time to get back to your story, but I did read the first 10 chapters one after the other and was so sucked into the story. I hope you are continuing it. I will get back to it but I usually read stories for about a week then I feel like I've neglected writing my stories (now two of them on three different sites! YIKES!!! Plus the reviews that go with them--I always reply to every review so that's very time-consuming too. Plus I have to work. And there's eating and sleeping as well...I don't eat very much anymore, so just sleeping. And I'm down to about 4 or 5 hours a night.
And as far as your story goes...the grammar and vocabulary are wonderful. I've read stories by Emglish speakers who didn't seem to know the language as well as you do, so props to you, bb!

Awwww....Jeeez, Edward really is in or the kill with all his charme and sweetness, huh?! Jeeeeez! The almost-date on the patio was so very cute! Ah damn it all to hell....damn shiny and absolutely loveable fictional characters...!!! ; )
As for Jake...ungh! He is gone, yes, but it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be?! Why did you have to turn him into this reasonable and understanding puppy?! Now I have a semi- bad conscious for calling him a jerk...repeatedly..and with a passion.... ^^ LOl
Ooooh, I soooo can't wait for the non-date date!! *squeal* I know that Bella needs some time to really get over the Jerk...ooops..I mean puppy...I mean Jake... but ...I.Can't. Wait. For. Some. Edward. And. Bella. Lovin'!!! ;D ;D ;D
Oh und nur um das klarzustellen- I WANNA SNUGGLE WITH EDWARD ON A ROOF IN A SLEEPING BAG!!!! ;)
Up to read the next chapter, bb! Bis gleich, also! ;D

Author's Response:
Hi again Sue!
So chapter 21...Edward is a charmer. Get used to it. The boy is nearly perfect...he does have a few flaws but he's going to be working on them. Glad you liked the almost date on the patio. A little birthday surprise for Bella. I think it was exactly what she could have handled. And he didn't break a promise to her by just celebrating her birthday with her privately. She wouldn't have been able to do the Alice thing...at least not on a day like this day.
And I'm glad you don't feel that satisfied about Jake now. See..I didn't want him to really be a horrible character, because why would Bella be with a horrible character? He was just being left behind and sometimes that happens when you get to a forkiin the road of life. Jake will be back but in a good way. That's why I didn't want to make him a real villain, but I wanted readers to want him out of the picture. :)
At the rate B & E have been going the non-date is due to last about 20 minutes...then it will turn into a date magically. Not really. But you've already read it I think.
I have an idea for a boardgame: It's called Fiction Addiction. We collect all the wonderful intimate/tender moments that Edward shares with Bella from every fic on these sites. Then we write those moments on the spaces on the gameboard. Players roll the dice, move their marker around the board that number of spaces. When they finally land on a space, they read the romantic E/B situation. If the player can name the fic that scene came from, she wins that Edward and gets to have him in that spot for real. YAY!!! I WANNA PLAY!!! I WANNA PLAY!!!. It'll make millions!
Es ist schon Mitternacht. I gehe jetzt schlafen. Hoffentlich traume ich von Edwards...viele Edwards...alle aufeinmal...Du lieber Gott!...die Edwards sind alle nackt!...solche schoene Traeume...ZZZzzzzzz
Gute Nacht und edwardlicherweise, Gute nackt!

OH. MY. LORD!!!! *SQUEEEAAAAAL* Did that all really just happen?!?!? If that was a 'non-date' Edward's book, the I really, really can't wait to find out what his idea of a real date is!!! ^^ I swear, I need to make an appointment with the dentist, asap!!! This sweetness is really bad for me ;D Ooooh, and Bella made the first step when she took his hand and kissed him on the cheek- and yes, I know that Bella needs her time before she can like really get closer to Edward, physically...however.. I would have smeared that damn piece of chocolate cheesecake, smeared all over Edward's delectable face and neck and then licked it off!!! Thoroughly!!! *Blush*...ungh...sorry but I can't help my one track mind! ;D ;D ;D
Ich liebe diese story and the characters!!!! And what Edward said about his matching scarf that he gave to Jasper...OMG, Ich hab mir fast in die Hose gemacht vor lauter lachen!!! ;D
Can't wait for more!! ;D Bis später, SchatziHasiMausi! ^^

Hallo liebe Sue!
Gah! You liked the non-date! So did Edward. Oooh I just want to walk around in the rain with that yummy boy! Okay, enough about me. When these two go on their real first date it will knock your socks off!
So the non-date...yeah, Bella is coming around, thankfully. She won't be able to hold off for long, right? And she does need some time before they get close physically. I don't like the idea of her jumping right into his bed the minute Jake is out of the picture.
I love your idea of smearing chocolate cheesecake all over E's face and then licking it off. Could be a great one-shot. ;)
Glad you liked it. I'm still drowning in work and writing. But I'll need my reading fix soon and then I'll pick up Rolling in the Deep again. I will re-read those first 10 chapters (well, 2-10 and shoot you a review for each). :)

BB!!!
OMG- I can't believe I'm four chapters behind (well, one is down- three mor to go now! ^^ Whoooop! ) The last few days were kinda crazy and pretty busy! Some stuff happened in rl, i started posting the first chapters of RITD over on ff.net and I tried to finish/ write/ edit my next chapter for said story since I'm pretty late with my update, but it just doesn't work out...so yeah, sorry it took me so long!
I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED OUT ON THAT!!! WTH?!?!?! *kreisch* Bella attacked Edward with pepper spray!!! Poor baby!!! I mean yeah, following her as she took her run really wasn't such a good idea...even though his intentions were good....but then again, I highly doubt that he regrets his little stunt since it lead to some shower stall 101...
With that being said... OMG!!! OMFG! Eff me sideways!!! THAT WAS SOOOOOOO DAMN GOOD!!!! As soon as I got your Edward after winning the auction (don't even pretend that any other of your reader would stand a chance! I sooooo called dibs ever since he made an appearance in chapter one! He.Is.Mine!!! ), that's soooo what he and I gonna do first! ;) Mwahahaha!!! Argh! They finally did it! Yeah, well not it - aber ist doch schonmal ein guter Anfang! Und was für einer.... hmmm...barely covered Edward, soaking wet...THANKS FOR THE MENTAL IMAGE, BB!!!! SHIT.EATING.GRIN.- that's all I have to say! Ooooh, and it was just too funny how he got a boner when Bella straddled him even though his eyes were burning like a mother from the pepper spray!!! Only Edward... ;D So, I guess it's pretty safe to say that your assumption that I'd like their first kiss we more than confirmed!!! ;)
I can't believe that freaky Jazzy actually got bashful and slightly disturbed by seeing them together! ;D He is such an adorable little...freak! ;D I loved his rambling! ^^ I may gonna bid for him in that auction as well....ooooh, kinky!!! ;D LMAO
Superduperawesome chapter!!! Loved it- up to the next one now ^^ Oh, and we sooo have to start that little game of yours! ;D I may gonna cheat though... ^^

Ich bin's! (schon wieder)
You did a good job of catching up today. I know how RL can get busy and crazy! For some reason fanfiction is glitching. I've been trying to post over there and have been having problems all day today. I'm glad if you post your story there. I can read stories from fanfic on my Kindle--but for some reason I can't get the stories from TWCS to upload. I usually read from my Kindle so that is one reason why I haven't continued with your story. I don't like sitting in front of the computer screen reading...that's when I begin playing with my own stories and checking for updates and checking for reviews and replying to reviews...I'm so easily distractable!
THE PEPPER SPRAY!!! Why has no one else thought to make pepper spray an important factor in their stories? It was one of the first things I thought of when I decided to try writing a story. ;) I know, I know...I'm nuts! Totally loved "Shower Stall 101" ;)
So yes...they finally kissed. Pretty decent for a first kill. When Edward comes out of his 3-year funk he comes out BANGIN'! Poor Mike Newton...he thought E needed his help and advice. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Dipshit!
Glad to know you apparently liked Showerstallward and Wetward and Pepperspray/Bonerward. And Firstkissward. I thought that would go over well. ;)
Poor little freaky Jasper...so confused and disoriented and random. He's a cute little kinky Kiltsper!

Hallo BB~!
You know, if you must do laundry, doing laundry with Edward would be the way to go. I would enjoy it then. I bet vaccuuming and cleaning toilets with Edward would be fun and sexy too.
Glad you liked the way Bella came to E's rescue in front of the Spanish Inquisition. ;) Emmett---er ist ja so doof! And don't you agree---Edward walked in with Bell in more of a swagger than a strut? I think Jasper was pretty dead-on with his observation. It makes me think of the parking lot scene in Twilight (the film) when Angela has spotted them and they get out of the Volvo on display for the first time. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ungh...thanks also for the little insight into the fantastic and over the top delusional brain that belongs to none other than the King of Freaks (and this time- I#m not talking about a good freak like the skirt/kilt wearing Jasper..I mean freak-freak!!), Mike Newton! WTF?! That guy is sooo wrong in soooo many ways!!! The only Freakazoid there is him! Ungh...amazing how he passed his words if wisdom in regards to get into a girls panties to his little minion Crowley....that cracked me up...hmmm...forget about romance...play Monoploy instead!!! FREAKSHOW!!! ;) ;) And the news of B and E in the shower spreading like a wildfire...LMAO!
Oh, bb that was soooo good! I swear, you are crazy! But I love it and wouldn't have it any other way! Thanks for making my day (and my face hurt a little more!! Can you actually get muscle ache in the face?!?! ) with your crazyness! ;D

Halli Hallo!
Thank you for riding with us on the bullet train to Wackoville! Please don't make eye contact with the residents! So yes...a dorm filled with crazies and generally speaking everyone is flipping out because the world has tilted on its axis and has begun spinning in the opposite direction, oh and the seasons are now going in reverse...because untouchable and aloof Edward Cullen was hooking up with FREAKIN BELLA SWAN!!! OMG!!!
At least Newton took it upon himself to delve into the evidence on behalf of the masses, so he could present his little view of the truth. :) And he and Tyler...now we see just what kind of numb nuts these two are.
That chapter was so much fun to write, although I have no desire to do various POVs like that again.

Eeeeehm....I'm sorry Mrs. Bannersay, but I'm still undecided as to which topic to choose for my essay...is it possible to get a bit more time to write it? It's just that I could basically write one for all the topic choices...and I'd have to rate the pro's and con'r for each of them to eventually decide for the most suitable...I want to pass this course after all! Do you think some extra time could be granted?! ;D LMAO ^^
Damn it woman, you are driving me nuts with your awesome crazyness! First off all, I need to get one of those rain protestion thingy's for my laptop screen, since I - again, I might add- spit my coffee on it! And YOU are the one to blame!!! Seriously, what were you thinking... 'I'm BD. The author of Twilight is SM. If she and I melded into one person, we'd be BDSM. Sit and think about that for a moment. No infringement or spankings intended.' - I laughed my ass of at that! Oh, and I nearly coughed and choked to death..but that's just secondary... ;) That was probably one of the best things I've ever heard! I kinda wish my initials were BD, too... :( LOL
Ooooooo... I think my love for the Cullen/Hale family grown with every chapter! Now that Carlisle and Esme made a semi- appearance, too. I think I'm a lost case...( Yes, I know...I was totally smitten with them all from the very beginning...^^) OMG- poor Edward, getting THE TALK from his parents at 21... I think he summed it all up quite eloquently...what was it that he said.. oh yeah...'for fuck's sake!' ;D Gotta love them all
Again,, I loved the bantering and teasing they all have going on all the time with each other! Ed and Jazz making fun of Emmet and the whole shower thing...LMAO! Yep- definitely love them all! And then Edwward suggested that Jasper has to put the kilt on before going and distract Alice from torturing Bella! OMG- that cracked me up once again! Kilt Powers For The Win! ;D ;D ;D That shit seriously is way too good! ;D ;D ;D
And of course, Edward made my heart meld, my knees go weak, my hear beating faster and my saliva flow increasing, with all his effing cute/sexy/adorableness!
"Well,” I shrugged, “we’ll always have a great story to tell about how we first met. I couldn’t avoid you. And you didn't come into my life gently, did you? You came hurtling into my life; you and you…our…damn cart. Whether I thought I wanted you or not, you were on a collision course with my whole world." I smiled at the look of dismay on her face - Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....! <3
I chuckled, gathering her in my arms and pulling her down against my chest. "Okay, so no meteoroids or asteroids. How about we think of you as my falling star? It sounds less aggressive. You tripped, fell on me in the shower and now here we are." I trailed my fingers through her hair. - *Sigh*
I smiled. Understatement. "No, I'm not disappointed at all. No complaints here. I'm really happy. I found something I didn't even know I was looking for. I think I've just been going through the motions these past few years. You've come along and woken me back up from some kind of static trance. It’s a nice feeling to wake up in the morning and feel happy instantly." - *Swoooooooooon*
Mannomann....der Typ macht mich echt fertig! ;D I can't believe I actually caught up with the chapters already!! What the hell am I supposed to do now?! Mist! Can't wait to read the next one! Dave to assume that Bella'S going to meet the parents soon, huh?!?! ;) Absolutely loved it all!
Bis Bald, SchatziHasiMausi! ;) ;)

Hallo suesse Sue!!!
You wrote a lovely essay. I'm going to hang it on the classroom wall so all the other students of The Transfer can see it and marvel over your abilities! Dankeschoen!
I'm sorry about your laptop...my suggestion is, wear a plastic bag over your head---but remember to poke a few air holes in the top and make sure it's not an opaque one...you still want to be able to read while you are protecting your computer from Kaffeespritzen. (My apologies about the whole BD SM thing...just couldn't help myself.)
With Dr Carlisle Cullen as his dad, I'm sure poor Edward got "the talk" at an earlier stage of life, but you know, his parents were probably wondering if he needed maybe a "refresher course" now that his "dry spell" with the ladies has apparently come to an end. lol (God...I sound like Mike Newton. Kill me quick!) I'd like to imagine Edward's reaction if his phone had been on speaker and Bella had gotten an earful of that convo with the parents. ;)
I love the boys being boys and giving each other shit for stupid stuff...like poor Emmett, probably trying pepper spray on Rose and getting freaky in the shower. And the kilt...you know those boys suspect that kilt has super powers when it comes to Alice. There's just so much fun stuff to mine between the three of them, especially between Edward and Emmett given their relationship and age difference and personality traits.
I'm glad Edward got you swoooooooning. He's definitely swoonworthy! Er macht uns alle echt fertig! Sorry I'm kind of doing these reviews of your out of order. I'll get back to the other ones in a bit. And yes...there is a trip to Port Angeles in the near future.
Danke fuer die Fic-liebe! Bis bald!
Deine,
SchatziHasiMausiBannerdayli
Two shattered hearts. Bella is lonely and scared after escaping a violent marriage with two children and a mountain of debt. Edward is jaded and lonely after a stinging betrayal. Can caring for a sick little boy be the glue that puts them back together?

WOW!! OMG, you're story is so fucking amazing! When I found it here by coinsidence and read in one review from another reader that there are more chapters to this story alredy posted over at ff.net, I logged in there immeadiately to read them...only to find that ffnet pulled the story! (that sucks, btw!) Thank God for that blog of yours!!! I would have dropped my two cents in over there, but due to unknown reasons, I wasn't able to post anything there today! :( Which brings me back to over here....quite the journey I did here =)
BUT.IT.WAS.SO.WORTH.IT!!!! You're story is seriously so fucking amazing! I just couldn't stop reading! I devoured every single word of every single chapter! I just feel so bad for the both of them! Don't get me wrong- the sexin' was more than steaming hot! But, it's obvious that they are both just so broken and damaged! Edward even more so than Bella (as for now- you never know!) It was obvious when he freaked out after their first 'playtime' and he emerged back from the bathroom and thought she was gone! I just feel so bad for him, even though he is the biggest ass around Bella - or well,probably everyone! From what is revealed in later chapters, he went through some really tough shit himself- I really can't wait for everythig to come out! The way he freaked out in chapter 11...it must have been several things coming together, too!!! OMG! That really was intense! And when he saw Bella standing outside! GAH- I so wished for an EPOV!!! I really, really, really, really wanna kno wwhat happened to him and his little girl! And how he came to pick out Bella and how he reacted to finding the note she left him! OH- and whatever it was that he found out and confronted Esme about! The last chapter was a bit confusing since I had absolutely no idea what was going on between them, but oh so good at the same time!
It was just so sad when Bella walked away from him after finding him seeing her! Jeeez, poor girl never had it easy either! She always got it left right and center and I just don't think it's going to change anytime soon!!! I really can't wait to see where this is all going! I wonder if Alice is going to leash out on Bella for Roughie ( I absolutely love that nickname btw! ^^) attending the wedding! Not that that was Bella's fault, but Alice made her opinion regarding him clear beforehand and well, she ist Bella's biggest fan either. Besides, it may appear too much of a coinsidence to her?!?! I will haveto wait and see about that one....just like everything else =( =( =( *pout* I also wonder how the whole Bella/Edward relationship is going to unfold...if at all at that point! ^^ I really, really, really, really can't wait for the next chapter- did I mention that already?! =)
OMG! I'm soooo glad you started posting over here! I would have missed out on such an awesome story if you didn't! The storyline is absolutely intriguing and captivating, the writing soo good also! The banner...I don't even have words for that one!Absofuckinglutelyfuckawesome, maybe! =) =) =) I think I'm going to have fanatstic dreams tonight! So, thank you for that also!
I can't seem to stop saying it, but I really can't wait for the next chapter!!! Edward's look out of the car window is kinda hunting me down...among other things! =) =) =) Fucking awesome! ^^

Holyfuckingshitandeverythingelsethereis!
OMG- this seriously is fan-fucking-tastic! The atmosphere you created is amazing- I could feel it, and yeahm I got a bit scared ^^ The fact that you used these common mystic beliefs, like that they can morph into bats...i liked that a lot! It's a bit freaky at first read, but really good!
I'm glad you stated in your bottom A/N that Madam didn't know that Carlisle James, Edward and Alice's fates were connected. For a moment I thought it was all a plot of Madam because she had some kind of hidden agenda going on and needed these events to happen for god knows what she wanted to achieve! And yeah, the whole Carlisle/James part was a bit confusing but again, the a/n was helpful! I hope we get to learn more about that later on ^^
Ooooh, and poor Edward! Throwing up his organs?! Jeeeez- that can't be a fun activity... =)
Though it is scary and a wee bit disturbing, I love this story! You are a true genius for crating all this! I really, really, really can't wait to read more of this and how things will go for all of them! I would love for to get kissed by your muse and update sooner...but please don't feel pressured! =)

Date: 25 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 2: Awakening of a See'er
Damn it all to hell!!! Speak about suspense...what the hell was that?!?! Sooo damn good!!!Jeeeez! I have to admit, I have absolutely no idea about voodoo or the history of New Orleans or Louisiana-it's just not something they tought us about in school over here other than the basics- BUT I may gonna do some extra studies at the University of Google to learn more about it! ;D It sounds pretty interesting and it'd probably help me with some parts of the story as it goes on!=)
Boy of boy, that was such a killer chapter 1! I'm already intrigued!! I actually had to read it twice because there was so much happenening all of a sudden! It was like lazily walking along the shore with your feet barely touching the water one minute just to be thrown into the midlle of the ocean with waves crashing all around you the next! Damn you- that was awesome! I loved it!!! Alice's vision was amazing and the storyline already sounds so good! I really can't wait to read more!
The new banner is a killer as well! I liked the first one a lot also, but this one is even more fucking awesome! =) I stared at it for two minutes straight- it's so intense! I have a question though- what does the title mean?! I'd really like to know that! ^^
I'm really, really, really, really desperate to read more! Please update fast!!! ^^
-Sue
Author's Response:
Lmao! awww !!! i'm still squeeing your reading this lmao!
Lmaooo! story the chappy threw you in the water so quick lmao!!! Alice's vision came fast and hard!
I'll be switching banners in and out next time it'll be the other one. The title is actually a term meaning.... well. I guess i'll let you read that in the next chapter lmao!! Nah it's a voodoo term meaning Amulet.
The next chapter is finished actually. Just widly waiting to be published lmao. You know if i could get a chapter of Rolling in the deep lmao I might *cough* Update *cough* really *cough* soon lmao!!!
Date: 26 Apr 2011 Title: Chapter 3: Third Eye Blind
THAIGER!!!
OMG- I think I pisse dm yants while reading this chapter!!! That seriously was some scary shit! And I'm not talking about Edward being attacked by James (from the description I just assume it is him- maybe I'm wrong...idk?! ^^) - the old Madame and her freaky pet those were the ones to blame I almost made an Ooopsie in my pants!!! Damn you- that was sooo effing good! I'm just really, really, really glad I didn't read this last night when I first saw that you updated (it was really early in the morning over here!)- I would have had the nightmare of my life if had read it before going to sleep! Eff me sideways, but I'm soo amazed by the creativity of your storyline!
I don't know if I should slap Alice repeatedly in the back of her head for interfering with fate and making it hard for Bella and Edward too get together or if I should bow down in respect for her willingness to sacrifice so much and her eagerness to take so much just to keep her family safe...and then slap her on the back of her head! ^^ Hmmm...poor girl really didn't know what she had gotten herself into! Maybe it would have been easier to ask Madame for a way to keep Edward from being bitten instead of making sure decades of descendants were hidden from him! But then again, knowing your wicked mind, it probably would have lead to the same thing! ;D
On another note, of course I'm reading this! The banner drew me in first (*cough* I don't want to go into detail here- but the first thing I saw was two Edwards...ungh....*cough* and...yeah^^ But then I read the summary aadn wanted to read it! And I did....what? Don't give me that look! I never said I wasn't a bit kinky/ pervy! =P ) lmao! ^^ Also, I told Jells that I'm going to read LAH as soon as I have more time- i really can't wait for that one! Sooo, curious!^^
Btw, I held my end of the bargain as well! =)
Really, really, really can't wait for the next chapter! I'm really curious to read the attack! Whooop! XO

Aloha!
*Squeee* I'm so happy there was an update! Before I start my usual rant, just let me tell ya that I'm glad to hear that you survived the first week in the land of the Scots! =) You were absolutele spot on in your assumption regarding my last review that I wanted to know whether they wear knickers under their kilts, or not! =)
I'm not sure if I said it before, but I'm amazed by all work and effort you put into this story! It is obvious that you put a lot of time into research and coupled with the detailed love for the era, the end result is really fantastic! *takes imaginary hat off* Chapeau!
Alright, here we go....Though I do have a few things to say about His Royal Dickness, my main target for the trash-talking-rant that is about to start is none other than that pitiful waste of space that is Renee! I swear, she almost gave me an aneurism (don't you dare reminding me that is all just a piece of fiction, based on another piece of fiction, and therefore, I shouldn't get worked up like that due to what they do! I know that! They still piss me of, thank you very much! =P )! Seriously, what kind of person is she, giving her daughter the sex-talk-101 from hell?! OMG!!! I mean, what the fucking fuck was her problem! She got what she wanted- couldn't she at least pretend that her daughter wasn't some imbicilic, good-for-nothing eyesore she gave birth to, or better yet, ignore her completely? Jealous, hateful and wacky old hag! GAH! I think the sight-seeing tour to the Tower is way too good for her....
And I know that that was a different time and era (though i like to forget that little fact =P) and so were their habits, interpersonal association, manners, standards and customs, upbringing and beliefs. To us it seems outlandish and common sense tells us that this chauvinistic and abusive behaviour is wrong. Also, we all have this idea in our heads how we ant our fav characters to be and act, and if they don't, we get upset and scream 'riot'! =) Or at least worked up and upset. I guess that's why many readers mentioned the abuse of Bella by her parents and the dick-ish behaviour of his Royal Imbicile!
Speaking of the devil...King Edward really isn't the smartest cookie in the jar, or the brightest crayon in the box, or is he? First he goes all ram-bam-thank you ma'am on her, then all of a sudden--after he left her without so much as if it really was his wife he just humped and was already back in his own chambers--he suddenly wonders whether she actually had a good time! And when he checks on her, the fact that she was alive and breathing (which he could tell by merely glancing at her backside) he leaves her again all to herself, and then he walks around with a puffed out chest, utterly proud that he was so perceptive and sensitive to only have her once for the time being, since he just took her virginity! WTFF?! Gimme a break! That guy is killing me! And yeah, the caring moments and gentleness he showed her earlier, was really sweet! (He has his moments,I admit that! All is not lost...) but the stunt he pulled there in their wedding night...the least he could do was offering her another cup of imported cocoa! =) Another brownie point he gained when he turned down that tramp Stanley and her pathetic attempt at being seductive! Bravo for that, you Royal Asshat! *rolls eyes* Poor, poor Bella! I'm really glad she still had Emmett with her!
Alright, enough with the ranting here! I'm sure I forgot half the things I wanted to say here, but I promise the ranting will continue with the next update! =) As for your question...in general, it depends on what kind of party/gathering/celebration that is. Some kind of dessert like brownies or cake would fit all three =) But mostly, like at all the parties and gatherings my friends and me had, the best food would be everything everyone can help themself with, all kinds of salads, bread and dips, and some meat, mostly hot dogs or bratwurst. But the food is always secondary, it's more about the drinking...(seriously, could I be any more German????) Damn!
Anyway, I enjoyed the chapter and can't wait for more! Looking forward to your reply! =)

Author's Response:
Guten Abend meine Lieblings-Rezensentin!
Excuse my rudimentary German. I've studied it for six years and still shit at it :P In regards to your review what can I say? I received four new bruises on my legs after falling off my chair and landing on the floor because I was laughing so hard. Then it resulted in me just lying there as I was unable to breathe or move! Absolutely loved your review! Its reviews like yours that make it worthwhile doing the research and writing for your entertainment (and my own when I read your response!)
In regards to the kilt thing...there is a kilt shop in the little town I'm at and it sells the full regalia. What the shop doesn't sell is boxers! ;)
Feel free to rant furiously about my characters. Its enjoyable for me to read (whilst eating chocolate) and the main reason for why I write some of the things that occur. I want to get a response from my readers and yours is always superb! I am completely understanding of the fact that these characters will really piss you off. In other fanfics and proper books I find myself becoming infuriated with certain characters and screaming at them through my Netbook...not great first impression for my flatmates for them to hear me scream "Would you grab her and fuck her on the desk already?!" *innocent face*
Lady Renee feels only hatred towards her daughter. She cares and loves her sons but because of Bella's gender she looks down upon her and only thinks of what Bella can do for her. But even that is not enough. She is a jealous, sadistic harpy who enjoys inflicting physical, emotional and psychological pain on her daughter. When she receives her just desserts have no fear it will result in much more than just a sight-seeing tour to the Tower of London! *grins as own sadistic mind provides images of what I plan to do*
King Edward really does have a lot of growing up and learning to do. Thank you for picking up on how he left her a second time! *coughs* kinda important for next chapter *coughs* He's an arrogant motherfucker and as proud as a peacock, showing off that he's all that when he really isn't. I think the small glimpses I plan on giving of King Edward's kind nature are really gonna frustrate you *giggles* I loved your sarcasm about the king turning down Lady Stanley! Emmett will be helpful and important for both Bella and the king.
Again please do continue with your awesome rants; I love reading them! Dessert is definitely the best course there is :D And, hon, I'm from Northern Ireland the drinking is the rimary part of parties there too XD
Sorry this reply took so long but already I'm getting bogged down by shit I'm having to go to (most due to it being Fresher's Week and I've been going out drinking...quite a bit) as well as the spectacular number of reviews that suddenly appeared with the uploading of this chapter. The next chapter will be up on Sunday.
*hugs* Thank you again for such an awesome review!

Date: 14 Aug 2011 Title: Chapter 2: Flaunting
Yay- an update!! Alright, so the king now officially has Bella on his radar...the attraction doesn't seem to be mutual at the moment, though! So, either things will change pretty soon or Bella is just good at covering it up! But then again, she was the Queen's maiden- it was probably inappropriate to gush over the queens hubby =)
I'm reading UC myself and I love it! Or better, I started reading UC, and fell in love but due to a lack of time I missed out on quite a few updates now and probably need to start with chapter 1 again soon! Not that I terribly mind- it's a really good story! ^^ Tanya basically giving her permission and even 'tips' was quite nice! AT least one thing less to worry about! ^^
As for the question - Well, I'm not one to give away free performances soft porn style on the dance floor, but if the right song is playing, I have my friends and had at least two drinks, I totally flaunt it! =)
Can't wait for the update!
Author's Response:
King Edward will have to work quite hard to gain any mutual attraction from Bella. Bella is as she appears. Yes he is handsome, but she is not one to care for looks. The reason for this will be looked at in a later, somewhat emotional, chapter. Queen Tanya has given up and realises that there is no hope for her and Edward anymore. She would much rather have him cared for by soemone she knows to be just, good, kind and loyal rather than one of the court whores.
I enjoy UC too but it wasn't until I visited the forum on Twilighted that I realised so many people were up in arms regarding the situation Edward is currently in.
*high fives* I'm definitely the same in regards to the dancing with my friends and alcohol though I have been known on occasion to go the soft porn style performance on the dance floor on occassion :P
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Date: 07 Aug 2011 Title: Chapter 1: Lacking
Hey!
First off, I think the start was really good. The first chapter gave enough insight without telling too much (if that made any sense^^)- and I like the premise. Hmm..Edward seems like a wee bit like an ass =) but then again, he is a king and they tend to be like that!^^ I don't think that ten years age difference is too bad, besides Bella is eighteen...again not too bad (in my book at least). I can see what you mean when you say that King Edward will resemble King Henry VIII somewhat, or better, that there will be resemblances in the story. Tanya getting ditched and then send to live in an Abbey just like Catherine of Aragon was really good. I wonder though, if Bella already lived in the castle as lady wouldn't Edward must have noticed her before? Oh well, he probably did....anyway, we are going to get ther, soon I hope! =)
Alright, I actually have two places I like to hide out in to escape everything: one being a park bench next to a small pond. It's really secluded and peaceful but unfortunately, the bench is often occupied by the older folks since it's placed near an retirement home. I know better than to kick the ols folks from their bench =) The other one would be my bed. Earplugs in, favorite music playing and completely hidden underneath my blanket. I know it sounds somewhat childish, but seriously, there's no better place than you own bed! ^^
-Sue
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like my premise. Yes Edward is an ass (no wee bit-ing about it :P). In regards to the age difference I had considered making her younger but from my own experience from reading certain fics I have found that there are more flamers if an author does that, so eighteen it is. I love the story of Henry VIII and not just because of The Tudors - though Jonathan Rhys Meyers is gorgeous! There will be some resemblances such as Tanya going to the Abbey, the next wife being a lady in waiting to the previous queen and the king's character. Edward hasn't noticed Bella previously for which you'll understand in the next chapter entitled 'Flaunting' :)
Lying in bed, blaring your music into your ears and hidden from the world under your duvet has to be one of the best places I reckon! It's where I like to be most too.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing my story. The next chapter will be up next week.

Date: 20 Aug 2011 Title: Chapter 3: Departing
Aloha again! ^^
Aaah, quite the bunch of men we have here. Feeling their manliness threatened by a dog...sounds like something real men would do...*eyeroll* Pardom my German, but scheiße! It's not that I expected Edward to do a whole 180 and get all lovey-dovey-eyed sap within a matter of days after acknowledging Bella, but I didn't think he'd shit a brick over his dog getting bitten! (Yes, I know: pets become dear to us and we consider them friends or part of the family easily- especially dogs) but seriously...! What a terriorial, possesive jerk! And then, he lets himself getting manipulated by James- just because the latter basically accused him of having a really small dick... (Again, I know that saying stuff like that to a man is even worse than insulting his momma...but seriously!) Ungh...men! Does he really thik that's the way into Bella's heart? What a royal fool! =)
Don't let my ranting think I didn't enjoy the chapter- I did! A bit sad,yes, but good! I feel for Bella. Obviously she cannot expect any kind of comfort or attention from her mother or father and I have yet to decide where Emmet stands here! Anyway, looking forward to the next chapter! =) Well done!
As for the question: I do love dogs! Though I have to admit that I'm not too big a fan of those teeny tiny ones whose eye balls are almost as big as their heads and resemble an overgrown rat more than a dog! ^^ If it doesn't at least reach my ankle, its not a dog! (to me anyways!) I like the bigger ones better- especially Australian Shepherds and Alaskan Malamutes <3<3! I'd die to have one (or both^^) of them my own but at the mom that's just not possible!
-Sue
Author's Response:
*hugs* Thanks so much for cheering me up today with your review. I love when my readers start ranting. I want them to be frustrated with the characters. King Edward is simply a wanker who has his head shoved up his Royal ass so far that he cannot see past titles and looks. He doesn't want to get into Bella's heart (yet), merely her bed and have her as his new queen. I also thought I could use the attack on King Edward's dog to show not only the cruel punishments inflicted in Tudor times, but also how the lower classes tended to suffer for things that were not truly their fault.
I'm so glad that although it was quite sad you did enjoy it. Emmett's alliance is first and foremost with his family duty but you will see that he can be a caring and compassionate oaf in an upcoming chapter when Bella truly needs some form of comfort. Her mother and father care not for her feelings, merely the titles that she can bring to them should she have such an advantageous marriage.
I was really giggling at your opinion (which is the same as mine) in regards to the overgrown rats, sorry I meant small dogs *coughs* yappy wee fuckers :P Bigger dogs are much better. I had to Google both your breeds of dogs. The Australian Shepherds look a bit like a Collie and the Alaskan Malamute like a Husky; both of which are exceptionally cute! :D
Thank you once again for cheering me up with your fantastic review! See you again next week.

Date: 31 Aug 2011 Title: Chapter 4: Resolving
*Gasps* Was this?...No, it cannot be...did he just? Did King Edward "His Royal Asshole" Masen just do something sweet? I mean yeah, emphazusing that he exclusively exported the hot chocolate was a wee bit showing-off, but the gesture was still kind of sweet. Maybe he should have a doctor check that out.... Just sayin' =) Alright, altight, enough with the sarcasm! ^^
"So you have resolved your choice between your whore's daughter and the Lady Isabella." - "I wish you would not call Lady Lauren my whore's daughter. It makes it seem wrong that I had ever considered her in the first place." ----> That was so damn good! =) Love Jazz for that one! AND Edward appeared pretty damn normal and laid back during that quickie with Jasper! THAT is the side he should show Bella! That side of him coupled with more hot chocolate may make her taking the news of her faith being sealed better! I really, really don't think she will be too happy about it! But then again, it's not like she has any choice or say for that matter at all! I wonder if His Royal Denseness caught the hint of her being afraid of being seen as nothing more than a pretty face- a precious shell for thoughts that are not meant to be spoken or heard. Yes, he said that she shouldn't listen to the bullshit Renee said, but did he really mean it?(Nope- I'm not the leader of the anti-King Edward front- I just call him out on acting like a huge di** =D ) Speaking of the devil wearing fair dresses- I bet Renee is going to wet her undergarments when she hears that Edward will take Bella as his Queen!
Sir Thomas Stanley, his whore of a wive and their spawn of a whore to be on the other hand will shit bricks right and left!!! It's obvios that he/they are up to no good and are going to try everything they can to prevent the marriage from happening! Most likely, they are trying to ruin B's reputation or make false accusations or some other shit like that! Poor Bella really needs to be careful!!!
I know, I know, I'm quite on a roll here, but that's only because I'm craving chocolate big time right now (thanks to you mentioning it! -.- ) and the only remotely chocolaty thing I have here comes in the shade of my nail polish!!! (Maybelline Colorama #23 "Dark Chocolate") *Pouts* Anyway, good chapter! Can't wait for Sunday to arrive =)
Oh, I love hot chocolate on a cold and nasty winter's day! I'm not talking about beautifully, with fresh snow covered streets and trees here (though that works perfectly fine as well^^), but about cold, dark, stormy and wet days, were you really don't want to leave the snuggly confines of your bed! (Unfortunately, that's how my Winter's look most of the time where I come from here in Germany! The last couple of years we did get a lot of snow, but rather late- most of the time it's like described above :( Anyway, I love my hot chocolate, but no whipped cream added on top for me! I don't like that too much! I actually drink all kinds of hot drinks, coffee, tea- all fine with me! I do love my Latte Macchiatto the best, though! ^^ And now- here's a question for you! HAH What's your favorite drink/ refrechment on really hot summer's days?! (For me that's a big glass of any kind of juice mixed with sparkly water and lots of ice cubes! My Fav: passion fruit or apple juice!)
Alright, that was a long ass review! =) See you next update! Good luck with startig College and moving!

I am currently rubbing my cheeks because your review had me grinning so broadly the whole way through it!
Now first off, yes King Assward did something sweet but of course had to be a dick and mention the whole exporting thing. I wanted to see how many people would catch on to that. For our dear Bella that won't be the impressive thing. What would be the impressive thing is giving her the chance to learn about life and other delicacies. I loved your sarcasm! :D Don't worry he'll be back to his 'normal' kingly self soon enough, no need to fetch Carlisle ;)
Sir Jasper definitely deserved a high five for that astute performance in the study lol I wanted mostly to portray the other side of King Edward in this chapter, show a glimpse of what he is behind the king. Of course he won't show this side very often because that just wouldn't be proper. They're also best of friends as well as brothers through marriage. I felt they should have a close camaderie where they know it is just the two of them and they can both just shove the pressures and duties of their titles away, leaving them as just Jasper and Edward.
No His Royal Denseness did not catch Bella's implication of being wanted for more than just looks. He was being sweet with his words to her, but notice he said she should stand up to her mother, not her father. No male was mentioned. He is fine with her having thoughts and speaking freely of them with courage...but only amongst those of her own sex. Feel free to call him out all the more for being a dick. He is one. Pure and simple lol Its how I created him ;)
Lady Renee will just be so delighted by the news that she is to be the mother of the Queen of England; 'cause you know she doesn't care its her daughter becoming Queen of England, but rather the titles that will award her as her mother. The Stanley's will be deeply dissatisfied by this outcome and are definitely ones to keep both your eyes on. Unfortunately they are sneaky and no one suspects that they would stoop as low as to gain revenge for Lady Isabella stealing the crown from their daughter.
I'm sorry I made you crave chocolate. If it helps when I was researching the Tudor foods I made myself extremely peckish! I know the types of winter days you mean for the hot chocolate as it is only in recent years we've actually had the 'pretty fresh snow'. Here in Northern Ireland it tends to rain, ice, rain, more ice, hailstones, fog, rain. That's our winter. Not very nice to be out in at all. I prefer mine made from milk chocolate and served with squirty/whipping cream. Nom nom nom.
In regards to your question to me: here in Northern Ireland we have very few hot summer's days, let alone really hot summer's days lol However when the sun does break through the clouds and we get a bit of blue in the sky I do like to drink an iced concoction I created myself. It's simply Coca-Cola with Apple and Blackcurrant Juice Cordial. It makes it extra sweet. I usually would do 1 part cordial to 4 parts coke but that's because I have an immense sweet tooth :P Sometimes I'll stick ice cubes in it, but usually they aren't needed here XD
That was a long ass reply ;) I'll see you on Sunday. Thanks for your well wishes for me in regards to University...I'm pretty nervous and mostly because my Dad is taking me over and I'm staying in a mixed (males and females) flat on Campus. That should be fun(!)
Thank you as always for leaving such amazing reviews!

Date: 04 Sep 2011 Title: Chapter 5: Coercing
Aloha!!!
Okay, first of all- congrats on getting your story featured!!!! With only 4-5 chapters in! I remember squealing myself when i got that notification myself! =)
As for the chapter...fuck me sideways- do I want to punch Chrales and Renee or what?! They are both just awful! It was clear from the beginning that Bella doesn't hold a big place in their hearts *snorts*; but abusing her?! Oh how I hope that Edward somehow finds out about this and sends them on a one-way-trip to the Tower of London or any other miserable place of his choice!!! Jeeez!!!
Alright, alright- you may have just altered my opinion of Emmett...and Samual. Good to know that at least these two stick by her; even though they didn't/ couldn't/ weren't able to stand up for her! Yes, yes, Emmett should definitely prolong his stay for her- even though he probably couldn't do much against the king if he were to maltreat her(which we all hope Edward won't...at least not in that way!), she'd at least have someone there to talk to and find comfort in?
*Le sigh* and speaking from his Royal Dickness....I know, he is the king and therefore never had to actually work to make a girl fall for him, but does he know nothing about wooing them at all?! Nothing makes a woman feel more special than telling her that you own her utero...*facepalm* But then again- he gave her a cup of hot chocolate, so why the hell not?! Hell, I would give all my organs away for a freshly imported cup myself...*eyeroll* What a fucking tool!! Oh, and the way he almost shit a brick because he saw Bella hugging a man....Royal stupidity knows no boundaries! Yeah, yeah, he is the king and he made his claim, Bella belongs to him,his ego is as tall as the Mount Everest and he has a super-sized penis, times and mannerisms were different back then, yada, yada- but come on! That guy is killing me! But I totally get what you meant by 'he'd beback to his normal self soon'! =)
Oh, you're gonna go and study in Scottland? That's so awesome! And mixed flats on Campus...NICE!!! Do me a favor? Make sure to check how Scottish the Scotts truly are and then tell me!!! =) =) =) I hope that everything works out as stress-free as possible and that you'll find your way around there easily! And of course, that you have really nice roomies! =)
Don't sweat over the updating schedule- rl comes first! Moving alone is bad enough, but moving into a whole new environment and facing a whole new situation more or less alone is whole different thing! Of course you need time to adjust and settle in! If anyone is giving you crap for it- send them my way! =) lol Anyway, good chapter! Waiting patiently here to read more! =)

Oh Sue! You always have me cracking up at your reviews. *wipes tears from eyes* I think this was one of the best reviews I've received so far for all my stories :P You've read my previous Twi stories, you know I like giving Bella a pretty shitty home life. However in those days it wasn't seen as abuse (probably should have shoved that in the a/n to remind people). Lord and Lady Swan will get what's coming to them and King Edward will learn of their behaviour...later on.
Lots of people had an unsure opinion of Emmett. Emmett is kinda in between a rock and hard place. He's got a wife and two children to support. Until he gets the Viscount title he relies on dear ole Dad to help make sure that they can remain living and not be poverty stricken. Emmett has no titles until his father passes, which is why I had King Edward be nice and award him with one. In regards to the maltreatment? Yes there will be some. The king is an asshole and only thinks about himself. He allows others to goad him and it will have a negative result on Bella.
I did warn you that the ass in him couldn't stay put for too long. It needs to be seen and heard and fussed over. He really isn't all that suave with the ladies due to his ability to just click his fingers and have whomever he pleased placed on a figurative silver platter for him. He has a huge ego but most men, let alone kings, during those times did. King Edward may start to seem a bit bipolar. He'll be switching between the asshole and the Edward we got a glimpse of when he was talking with Sir Jasper in chapter 4.
In regards to Scotland, yes I am going there to study as it costs half the price. It all depends on the man really as to whether they don't wear underwear under their kilts (I'm guessing that is what you meant by the check how Scottish the Scots truly are). I've had a number of Scottish friends...strangely all male. Some of them do the 'hang it all out' and others don't. It tends to be a bit chilly for most so nowadays I'm afraid to disappoint and say most wear some form of underwear.
Thanks for telling me not to worry about the updating schedule. I know real life is more important but I feel bad leaving people with my story seeing as I've been in that situation myself. Everyone so far seems to be understanding about it and are fine with the waiting period.
So glad you liked it. The next chapter will be the wedding and the Lady Stanley situation will be dealt with too. Thank you again for your immense review!

Date: 27 Sep 2011 Title: Chapter 7: Apologising
*courtsies* Lady Anna-Margaret! Lol =)
Do I actually have to word my thoughts? I think at this point you'd guess what I have to say pretty well....but, oh hell, where'd be the fun in that? =)
Alright, here we go...
WTFF? No, seriously, What.The.Fucking Fuck? He actually injured her?! In- and outside of her hooha? Yes, yes, he is the king and a man (duh! ^^) and only out for their own pleasure, yada yada...but seriously...ungh! He acts as if he was actually a virgin with no idea whatsoever how to handle a woman, and only knows the basics from hearsay (in...out...in...out...) Ram-Bam, indeed! What a fucking dick! Oh lol! I mean, certainly Lady Isabella's wasn't the first cherry he popped...the thought of hiom leaving behind a trail ripped and deflouvered young girls kind of makes me queasy...(even if it's just a fic ...=P) Sweet Baby Jesus, that guy is killing me! And to think that Bella got her ouchies 'cleaned and treated' with vinegar and salt water...well, fuck!
And then he actually hit her...again, I know that he is a man in a world/era dominated by men, and also king, which grants him the right to do whatever the fuck he wants to do-no questions asked... So, when Bella kind of showed an attitude towards him, he reacted without thinking. It was an impulsive reaction; he had no idea how to handle it and it was obvious that he was sorry the moment it happened. No, I'm not saying that I agree with what he did, think that Bella is the one to blame for showing a little glimpse of her free will and personality, nor do I tolerate violance against women (or violence in any form/kind!)
However, I do believe that he was really sorry for his behavior. I mean, he apologized to her after all-nothing I think a king would do too often! He actually fell on his knees--> that gesture was worth more than the stupid gift he gave her! Bella was absolutely right-he doesn't know her at all, if he did he would have thought of something else buy her forgiveness...oooops, sorry (I'm trying, really trying not to be too harsh with His Royal Asshat, especially since he's doing a little better...but sometimes it's still a bit hard to let things go or see hit from his perspective/ be objective)...*cough* I mean, ask for forgiveness and make amends. But then again, he probably never learned how to apologize in the first place because he didn't have to, and-I'm taking a ballsy guess here- he must have adapted his behaviour from somehwere growing up, buying affection and using ostentatios things for bribing reasons were kind of normal, I think. So, I guess His Royal Dickward did it with solely good intention. After all, the fact that he apologized in the first place shows that he cares about her. Again, that probably didn't happen too often in his life...it is a learning process for him. So yeah, here I am, admitting that His Royal Imbecile really made an effort, and it was kind of cute. Boy, do I love to hate him..or do I hate to love him? Gah!
In case you're wondering at this point whether I forgot about Charles and what he did, or if I simply have nothing to say about him, rest assured, I was just saving the best for last....That stupid mofo needs to rot in hell! NOW! The nerve he has...ungh, I want to see him in so much pain! Imean, what kind of person blackmails his daughter by threatening the well-being/ life of an innocent child (nevermind that said person is a girl...)! I couldn't even tell whom I hate more at this point- him or that loathsome thing he married! The yboth need to day a long and painful death!(May as well take the Stanleys with them when they go...just sayin') I really can't wait for Edward to finally find out about the maltreatment of his wife. I love how Bella stood her ground-well, at least tried to until he brought Georgia up...I really hope that Jazz will tell about what he and James saw. He is not stupid, so I hope he saw the'hug' for what it really was! Please, please, please!!! =) I seriously want them all hung on their genitials and the burn! GAH!
Alright, Ithink that's all to be said about the chap at this point...only maybe that Edward should have gotten her a new little pup for company instead of what he did get her. I forgot to tell youlast time, but I love the new banner! =)
Regarding your response from last time- I was kind of dumbstruck when I read the greeting in German! It actually took me a few secs until I realized it was indeed you! Wow, six years of German must have been a pain- especially grammar! Hell, I've been learning it all my life and still mess it up here and there (grammar has never been my forte, no matter the language...you may have realized that by now...=) oops! ) Anyway, that was really cute! ^^ I'm really sorry for butt-kissing the ground while reading my thought vomit! But it was kind of dunny, too!^^ I'm exactly the same, I always get so into a story and the characters, that my emotions always are all over the place! For example, when I read New Moon for the first time, I a) panicked out when I got to the part where there's only month's name announced and nothing else-> for a second I thought something was wrong with my copy....(facepalm). b) I was so pissed off when the Cullens and most importantly Edward left for such a long period, that I actually threw the book away and against the next best wall in a childish outburst, only to hurriedly jump right out of bed the instant it hit the ground to continue reading...(don't say it! Don't even think it! I know, okay, I know....as I said, that all occured the first time I read that book, so please have some mercy with me!). c) I more or less skipped every other page -starting at the point meadow/Laurent incident- until Alice returned and then again until they were reunited in Volterra. d) read the whole book in merely a few hours, and then again right away (since I skipped so many pages the first time) because I had to know what the hell was going on.... And don't even get me started on how I cursed Bella out in Eclipse when she went and kissed Jacob....LOL I'm such a freak!
Ok, in case you are still with me, sseing as you updated you obviously survived the party week at college. Thank God for that! Don't worry about replying taking longer than usual- I totally understand! I so would have done the same =) Have you met a lot of people yet? I think, I really need to start saving money so that I can go and check out all those in kilts myself! =) =) =)
As for your question, I prefer the thoughtful gifts that come from the heart at any time. I'd rather take anything self-made than anything that was just bought only for the sake of gifting. Did that make sense? What I mean is, if I only buy something to give away only because I have to, then in my opinion, the gift itself is not worth that much, since there really was no thought behind it. I'mnot sure I'm expressing myself here correctly, but I can't do any better at the moment- sorry. Of course I am thankful for any gift or little something I receive. But when I see that the person who gave it to me actually put effort and thought into it, maybe even made it themself, it's worth so much more than any materialistic value something bought could have. (In most cases anyway =) ...)
And now, finally, I ran out of things to say...Jeeez, that really turned out to be a long one! =) Again, I am sure I forgot half the things I wanted to say, but we can't have you doing your homework last minute again, because you were busy working through my ranting here! So, let me just say that I enjoyed the chapter and really can't wait for the next one! And in absolute Irish and German stereotypical fashion, let me part with a
Prost/Slàinte!
Until next time! =) Take care
-Sue

Finally Sue I have gotten round to replying to your chapter 7 review. I suck, I know. Firstly *curtseys* I love how you began with ‘Lady Anna-Margaret’ *giggles* I definitely haven’t been showing the most ladylike behaviour in recent weeks ;)
By this point yes I do know that there will be lots of ranting from you which makes my day! Your reviews make me smile as broad as Jack Nicholson in Batman :D
Yes he did injure her poor vagina. It was common that a poorly prepared virgin could be ripped both inside and outside should the man just slam into her. King Edward has been with virgins before but they all wanted to be in his bed and so were naturally aroused. Bella, unfortunately, did not have those kinds of feelings towards His Majesty and had also just received a frightening from the evil Lady Renee; definitely unlikely to have helped her have any natural arousal. Whilst vinegar and salt water are good at cleaning cuts and preventing infection in some cases they do sting like fuck! :P
King Edward was truly remorseful for his violent action. Yes it was wrong for him to slap her in the first place, but I am glad that you understand it was an impulsive reaction from a man living in a male-dominated society. His buying of affection he learnt from his father. You’ll learn more about his childhood and background later on in the story. I think some people might find it rather intriguing and help to see him in a different light. In regards to your question ‘do I love to hate him…or do I hate to love him?’ I’m sure you can’t help but hate me for making him so hateable and likeable at the same time lol
I’m sure you, like many others, will be highly anticipating Chapter 11 in which Lord and Lady Swan will receive their dues. You definitely provided me with a, um, vivid picture of what you’d like done to them *chuckles*
I am glad you like the new banner. I think they are both pretty awesome. These people are truly talented!
Six years of German was absolutely crippling, especially the last two years but that was mainly due to the other three people in the class bullying me. I so did the same in regards to New Moon. I was flicking backwards and forwards completely freaking out at 3am in the morning (I’d just finished Twilight, went to the toilet and came back to start in on New Moon). I skip the wolf bits too; I just go “Boooooooooring!” lol
I have met lots of new people however its quite funny as quite a number of the people here staying at the Halls of Residence are doing the same course as me – Masters in Primary Education with Teaching Qualification – and are from Northern Ireland! If you save up enough money to visit Scotland, even though there is bugger all really here, you gotta come to Dumfries!
I definitely took your departing words to heart and ended up drinking more :P
Thanks for always being patient with me and being a truly amazing reviewer!

Date: 06 Oct 2011 Title: Chapter 8: Crying
Guten Tag! =)
Alright, this is the third time I'm trying to post this reply...no idea what's wrong here!
Anyway, glad to see there was an update! =)
Yes, you're giving us an emotional whiplash in regards to His Royal Asshat, and yes, I crossed him off my imaginary shitlist for fictional characters for the time being, since he managed to make up for his latest fuck-up! =) Seriously, that guy is killing me! I can't believe he got all pissy and pms'd over Bella being eager to go down on him, and accused of whoring around his castle! WTF? It was a bit dubious that Bella did a 180 in the bedroom and was eager to go down on him, when she was just an innocent and pure young girl the day before, I give him that. BUT seeing as he probably stuck his little Edward into more things than he should have, he shouldn't be so quick to throw accusations left, right and center! *facepalm*Totally irational that guy, when the heck was she supposed to turn into a Stanley between getting her private bits torn, being abused by her father, and made fun off by her maids?! GAH! PMS thou' art a wacky bitch! =)
I'm glad that Jasper reported what he and James witnessed to Edward! Chapter 11 can't come soon enough... I know that you are perfectly aware that we all want to see Charles and Renee taking the train to nowhere (yes, I saw some of the other reviews ^^) and you probably annoyed by answering that question! But seriously, they need to go! =)
I would say, Edward should go Protestant.
Loved the chapter and the story- as usual! Can't wait for the next chapter- as usual! Loving to get frustrated and hating on Edward, as usual! =)
Take care!

Date: 15 Oct 2011 Title: Chapter 9: Failing
Aloha!
I wasn't sure if I should leave you this review seeing as you already have a ton load to go through, but in the end, I just couldn't help myself =)
As ususal, I'm shaking my head over the asshat's behaviour. That guy is just so damn frustrating. Here I sit and my eyes are bugging out since he made so much progress and was kind of sweet at the beginning of the chapter, and then BAM! His Royal HTI (Hot tempered Idiiot) is so damn fucking quick to screw things up! How come he never questioned the audacity of Stanley for reading the letter in the first place? Catching the 'suspicious' letter because he was 'concerned' was one thing, but reading it? Shouldn't he have passed the letter over the to the king right away? And why did the king never question why Bella was bleeding? (Seriously, did she fall or did someone hurt her?) And most importantly, why didn't he lash out on Renee for hitting his wife. The Queen! I mean, he caught her doing so, but didn't really comment on it! Oh well, mayb we hear about it in the next chapter...but still! GAH! So far, he only commented on all the wrongs that Bella did 'wrong', whereas everybody else seems to get away with murder!
And don't get me started on Renee and the whole baby incident! Oh well, since you asked for my opinion...=) I do get that a male was worth more than a female ( as sad as it is), since they need heirs to ensure the bloodline and thereby, the throne and the reign over the kingdom. Alright, honour, where honour is due: kudos to King Edward for not sharing Renee's idea and killing their first born child because it turned out to be a girl. But did he really have to leave Bella like that- and so shortly after that traumatic experience no less? I mean, he wasn't upset that the baby wasn't a boy (yet?), but the way he acted, it was like he was washing his hands clean...and the only thing he had to say to her was, that they would start for round two in a few/ asap! Douchebag!
As for Renee..and Charlie....the crusome twosome.....I really, really, really can't wait for chapter 11 to arrive! I just hope ehatever hellhole the two of them end up, there's enough room for the Stanley's in it as well! *smirks evilly*
To answer your question: If my midwife (even if we were living in the olden days) would induce labour by sticking her dirty finger iside of me to break the waters with her fingernail, I would so kick her in the fucking head repeatedly. And if she then went on to put pig fat (or any other fat or substance I didn't deem kosher) on my private parts, I would wrap my legs around her head tightly, and choke that bitch to death! Just to clear things up here- I don't appreciate violence. I'm a fucking pacifist. In my head I'm like Gandhi! But there are some things that would trigger me turning violent...messing with a pregnant and in-labour-me, is definitely one of that. (not that I was in labour before...just sayin'!)
Anyway, as always- despite my ranting and yelling profanities left, right and center, I do love this story! I think I love that it pisses me off so much! Well, not the story per se, but the asshats that starr in it! =)
Take care!
-Sue
