Wow...so far, very intriguing!  I stumbled up your fic as I was wandering through the new Forest library.  The banner definitely drew me to it, but your writing really drew me in.  Can't wait to find out more.  Thanks for sharing it

I knew she'd meet Carlisle.  Why doesn't she just tell him?  He, of anyone, would believe her!  Still can't wait until she sees Edward though.  Man, this is good.  I'm supposed to be working and I can't concentrate on work 'cause I keep sneaking back to read more!

I like this Bella.  She's a go getter.  Not going to let this situation get her too down.  She's making the best of it and if it leads her to Edward, so much the better.  She's got gumption!  I like her a lot!  Great story.

Oh yeah, this is very interesting.  Edward's antiquated ideas are getting under Bella's skin, hmmmm???  So maybe she's not going to want to save him from the influenza because he needs the next 100 years to realize the strength of women!  Very good premise you've got going.  Really great.



Author's Response:

Yeah... he's a little frustrating to her. She's definitely got her work cut out for her! LoL!

Summary: Past Featured Story

i remain

After unexpectedly being given an antique desk and finding a letter written by Edward to his cousin over nine decades earlier in a hidden compartment, Bella, on a whim, decides to respond and starts them on a journey neither could have ever imagined. 

Perhaps there are some things we aren't meant to understand, just accept....

This story will eventually contain character death.

Okay...I have switched to reading I've here since ff is acting up.  I hate tht TWCS isn't as user friendly as ff but oh well. It does make sense that Edward's memories from right before his illness would be super cloudy.  I am a little confused because didn't Edward tell Carlisle more about Bella...his friend from Arizona?  Did Carlisle know about the desk?  If so, he would have told Edward to bring his letters with him and would have had to explain who this Bella person was.  So I am guessing Edward did not tell him much?  And wow....Charlie is going to be vamp?  Hmmm...new twist!  Never read THAT one.  Cool cool stuff.



Author's Response:

I actually much prefer TWCS or Twilighted.  It's easier to post because it keeps my formating intact, so I don't have to use periods to hold blank lines.  On FFn, everything just runs together.  I also much prefer being able to see my responses to reviews.  It so much easier to make sure I don't miss anyone accidentally.

Edward did tell Carlisle about Bella twice, once by her first name only and once he said he had a friend who lived in AZ, but as far as Carlisle knows, Bella was a human girl - granted one with an exceptional gift, but human nonetheless - living in 1918.  He has had no reason to connect a human girl he believes lived in 1918 with one he knows lives in 2009.  As will be mentioned in the story, Edward does not like to be reminded of the human life he cannot remember.  Regardless, I don't think Carlisle would ever have told Edward he had a friend who he'd appeared to have fallen in love with.  What would be the point?  It would only bring him pain.  Edward's human life was lost to him as soon as he reached a point in the influenza that changing him became the only way of saving him.  I think Carlisle would only considered it a blessing in disguise that the memories of a love he could no longer have were lost.  Like Edward - mistakenly - said to Bella in NM, "It will be like I never existed." Or something like that.

Thanks for reviewing!

Ooh ooh...I was thinking maybe Edward could snek into her room (like he does) and he will see the desk, but I forgot his 'singer' issue.  Damn!  Maybe he'll see Tanya turn towards the desk and see it?  Ooh, so many thoughts here.  Can't wait for more.  Damn...I hate being caught up.  



Author's Response:

He won't go so far as to sneak into her room, but....  Oops, almost gave too much away!  It wouldn't matter if Edward saw the desk in Tanya's mind.  He doesn't remember owning it himself.

The teaser for chapter 22 has been submitted to Fictionators and Twi Fic Central, but they don't show teasers till Wednesday.  I hope to get onto A Different Forest to join the teaser campfire tomorrow night.  The teaser for chapter 22 can also be found on the forums page for Twilighted under Shameless Plugs, but you need to create an account to access it.

THanks for reviewing!
