And thank you for allowing Edward to redeem himself.  I was really worried there for a while.  And I love B/J, but that doesn't mean that I want ol' Eddie to be such a jerk.  So thanks for that.

Loved the story!  First time to review and comment because unfortunately, my iPhone and Kindle Fire don't allow me to comment, and that is how i access this site most of the time.  

You are very talented.  And I wish now that I would have written down all of the things I had wanted to say so that I could tell you now.  But I didn't.  

Can't wait for the next story.  And I promise to make sure to either find a way to review each chapter or I will take notes! 

I want my own personal Emmett.  I couldn't get enough of him.  Even when he was gassing people.  I will admit that there were times I wanted to choke Bella for being, well Bella.  But I felt the same way towards the books as well.  Not enough of Jasper.  I adore that man!  Edward was swoon worthy, as he should be.  And Rose, I want her and Alice as my BFF's.  

Great job on the story.  As I said, I cannot wait for the next one.  

Now on my way to read through LRM!



Author's Response: hoping to have more Jasper and Alice in the sequel...we got a little more of them in Love Rescue Me...but still not enough. Thanks so much for the great review! I'm glad you like the story. Watch for the future take...under Outtakes Lullabies & Eternal Love.

I don't get to review much because most of the time I read the stories on my iphone or Kindle Fire, and they don't allow me to type reviews.

But I had to tell you that this is by far the BEST fanfic I have ever read.  And it was the first B/J I read, and I have to say that it has swayed me to believe that they are the best couple!!!  

Please, more B/J stories!!!

Keep up the writing, it is great!  Thank you for causing me to ignore all those around me until I had completed your story!

The Transfer by bannerday Rated: NC-17 starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 389]
Summary: Past Featured Story

stories/43371/images/The-Transfer.jpg

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*

Would love to see a mini (or longer) story about Rose/Emmett, and Alice/Jasper.  Show us what made them the couples that they were.

Okay, this is only my second review of your stories, but come on...  Where is the next chapter?  I should have known not to read it until it was finished.  I cannot handle the wait for the next chapter!  Though part of me would have rather had Edward wait to talk to her until Alice mentioned at the bbq that Bella was late.  But I guess he would of had to have had this conversation with Angela around.  So I guess not.  

So, is the next chapter ready yet?

How about now?

Thank you for reading and reviewing.  Nikky and I enjoy working together, and I think it shows in our work.  Her and I have come along way together since she came to me for help on A Year of Hell.  Where it is far from perfect, it is a great story.  Once we learned to get over Nikky's dyslexia, and my own lack of proper grammar skills we sure have managed a few decent storylines.  Thanks for the love as a writer I know that you know how much it is appreciated.  Thank you, Kasi (&Nikky)

We agree. Gopher is invested in the overall health of the family, both on and off the boat. There's no separation for him because he's already looking at how things will affect them later on where the trio fully separates on and off the boat.

Date: 26 Apr 2016 Title: Chapter 42: 42 Got Lucky

ok, I am beyond grossed out. Enough with the nosy people. There are not two people in Bella and Edward's relationship, there are at least 5. Seriously, Whit, Lee, and Esme need to back the hell off. It's not normal or healthy for people to be that involved in someone else's relationship. Even being best friends/family. It is getting to the point where it really is warring on me.

Author's Response:

Every family is different. This one just happens to be an open book. It works for them. Doesn't matter that it might not work for many others, the important part is it works for them.

Good progress with Alice. Love that Gopher stepped in before Mase blew his lid.

It is good to see Mase relaxing a bit more.

Still think that Lee needs to learn to mind her own business more. She is always forcing her self into Mase's business. I know she means well, but UHG, it sure is tiring.

So glad that this accident isn't causing a relapse in Bella's progress. Give us more Gopher. He's awesome. And he could really help bring Alice around with his personality.

Wow! Normally Mase is the one with the bad reactions that make me smack my head. But Esme and Carlisle doing that without letting the kids know first... To me, it was wrong. This would have been the right time for him to be upset. Esmeralda and Carlise preach about family, yet they didn't include them at that time? Seems weird to me. Kind of disappointed in them.

Loved it. I am always so excited when I get the email that this story has been updated!

So glad that they were able to work it out. In a way I feel as Bella is a different person. She went from being naive to a woman who knows exactly what she wants, and asks for it.

But I am so happy where they are at now, together. Can't wait to see what happens when Jasper comes back.

Author's Response:

WOW...the responses are so awesome that Nikky and I are both giddy.  There haven’t been many questions asked in the first 60 reviews, so I am going to answer a few non questions I noticed.  Bella was never kidnapped by Sue and Charlie.  Charlie Swan is Bella’s biological father, and Bella was sent to live with him after her mother died of cancer.  Aro honestly never knew of Bella’s real age, he had suspicions that she was not raised correctly and was acting younger than the 18 he thought her to be, because of the inept social skills.  Zafrina did not know either, but again had those same social skill thoughts that her son had.  We in no way were bashing DCFS or DHS or any other social workers, by saying that the kids would be taken by the state.  If anyone had turned Sue in for abandoning the kids the almost 6 years ago now she has been gone, the kids would have become wards of the state, because at 13 no state official or judge would have deemed Bella capable of fully caring for 2 yr old twins alone.  Just want to say that we both believe that it takes a special kind of person to be a social worker, and we both give those of you who are in the field of social work a round of applause because the things you have to see and or deal with can’t always be fun.  I have to say that the wonderful response to this story is more than either Nikky or myself could have hoped for, and we owe that all to you the readers.  THANK YOU!  If there is any questions or discussions you would like to have or read about past discussions, feel free to join us at TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction on Facebook.  Kasi (& Nikky)

Teaser for Chapter 19: The Legal Side of Things.  Subjected to changes during beta process.

I dropped Bella of at Seth and Leah’s school. Before leaving her, I told her I would pick her up from the college when she got off.  It was so fucking hard to leave her; I just wanted to stay with her forever.  I knew the minute she was away from me, my old doubts would come back.  I knew that I had to talk with Jasper about her upbringing.  It’s that thought that makes me leave, even though I want to wait with her, take them home and stay with them. I am really at a loss for what I should do.  What can I do?  What do I do?  How do I help her?  How can someone so pure and good, come from people so evil?  The questions are killing me, but I know one thing for certain: if that bitch doesn’t stay the fuck away on her own, I will make her.  That sorry excuse of a parent will never get her hands on my Bella, Seth, or Leah again.  I will protect them with my very last breath, and deplete every cent I have, if need be.

I sit at my piano and just start playing.  I let the music guide me, keeping Bella in my thoughts as a play.  I let out all the feelings I have been denying myself. I haven’t been at it long before I find myself playing ‘Angel Eyes’ by The Jeff Healey Band, and I begin to sing along with my playing.

Girl, you're looking, fine tonight,

and every guy has got you in his sights.

What you're doing, with a clown like me,

is surely one of life's little, mysteries

 

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,

"How did I ever win your love?"

What did I do?

What did I say,

to turn your angel eyes my way?

I am so glad that Bella, Seth, Leah have so many people who are looking out for them. I am hoping that Edward will be able to open her up enough that she accepts their love and friendship.

Author's Response:

Thank you once again for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  As you can see Edward’s view is changing and for the most part it is better.  His time at Aro’s will take a drastic downward spiral soon, once he realizes that without thinking of Bella he is rendered unable to perform.  He will struggle with this mentally, and as you will see from the below teaser he will finally seek some assistance.  A lot of you are worried over his reaction to her age, and how soon that will all unfold.  I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but I will say that you will all want to be sure to read chapters 17 and 18 rather closely.  Jess2002 who has been on board for discussions since the beginning ideas of this story said to tell you that in her opinion chapter 11, will be over-shadowed by chapters 12, 13, and 14.  There are some really great chapters coming up here and according to what I am hearing from the pre-readers they will make the story even better.  There are also a lot of questions coming in about Charlie and Sue Swan.  First Charlie Swan will most certainly not be making a show in this story, he is dead.  His death is what sent Sue into premature labor.   Second, eventually even if just for court, Sue Swan will make an appearance.  There are a lot of people in this story that will bring drama to the surface, and there is a lot of story yet to come.  Thank you for your continued support in us and our story.  We hope to hear more from you again soon.  We will be right around 30 to 35 chapters when complete.  See you next Thursday.

Chapter 12 teaser…subject to changes during Beta Process.

Jasper sets the bag he carried down, and lets out another sigh. “Edward, as your friend I am here if you need to talk. As a psychologist, I strongly recommend that you talk to someone soon. Edward, I do mean soon, because you’re not helping anyone by getting so worked up. What just happened is a form of an anxiety attack. Your fear almost caused you to have another panic attack. They are not just going to go away. You need to talk to someone to help deal with it.”

I look at him, then close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. “You can’t help her if you stay on this path, Edward.  She needs to talk to someone too. Just think of how you would feel if she doesn’t talk to someone. What if it was her who keeps putting it off, and you have to watch her slowly lose it and get closer and closer to the edge.”

I nod my head at him, fuck I would drag her to see someone if I have too. “Make me an appointment, for at night not during the day. Just let me know when it is, I will be there.”

Jasper nods his head at me. “Have a good night, Edward.”  My head rests against the door after Jasper leaves. I feel the restriction in my chest, the sharp pain, shortness of my breaths and my heart is pounding. What is fucking wrong with me, I can’t believe I get myself so worked up about Bella, but fuck I am so fucking glad that was not why he was here. It doesn’t mean that she is okay. She could be lying hurt in the fucking park all beaten and broken. Well, more broken than what she is. Fuck, don’t think like that.  Zafrina would have called me by now. Bella is fine. She is at home in bed. I’ll get to see her tomorrow; when I drop off the bags of clothes. If she is all right, that is. She didn’t go to the police the last time. Maybe they went after her again, knowing she is an easy target. God only knows if it has happened before. Just because she went home, doesn’t mean that she’s okay. Anything could have happened. Fuck, it is after midnight, it’s not like I can go over there and knock on the door. I just want to check on her, but if I go over there she will think I am nuts. 

I pace my floor pulling at my hair. I should call her. I would know by the sound of her voice if she okay or not. Fuck, I can’t call her at this time of night. Why in the fuck can’t she just take the fucking bus, instead of walk? You know what, just fucking call her. Fuck!

I pick up my phone and dial her number. Just after four rings someone picks up.

As always, great chapter. Glad to see that the men in Edwards family are all behind him to support him and kick him in the ass again if needed.

Is Gins going to be a problem? And I am ready for Rose and Alice to get their asses handed to them.

Author's Response:

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Each week I read the reviews for like the first 3-4 hours to see what kind of questions you all want answers to, and this time there are hardly any questions at all. 

So I thought we could touch base on some comments.  We have gotten a lot of Great chapter, sad ending, but it was needed...stuff (and it was needed).  ‘Edward had to allow the pain to flow out instead if keeping it locked inside of him.’

We have had a few diabolical people suggest that Edward would maybe recognize Sue and Charlie Swan, or Harry Clearwater.  ‘This is an interesting theory.’

A lot of you would love to lynch Sue.  ‘But first she has to make an appearance.’ 

Some of you have noted that you for see Gina as being a problem.  ‘Ummm…YEAH!’

A few have wondered if Tanya and little Edward are in fact dead and buried.  ‘In the graves in Port Angeles are in fact the bodies of Tanya Denali, and her son known to all as Edward Anthony Masen Jr.’

The comments people have made on the complexity of our characters though is what I want to touch on the most.  The fact that we have made the characters so out of character in most cases is what I am enjoying so much.  I personally love Alice in the books, I think she is WAY underplayed in the movies.  I love Alice she is one of my favorite characters, but to make her this unlikeable character is hard, yet I think it really gives so much to this storyline.  Alice will learn some very valuable lessons in this story and that old saying a leopard can’t change his spots, does not apply to Ali-cats. 

I like Rose and if I (Kasi) had to compare myself to a character from Twilight that I am most like it would be her.  I am not a royal bi*ch, but I am pretty outspoken and tend to say exactly what is on my mind, and that is how I see Rose in the books and movies.  The Rose in this story though goes above and beyond the snippy, and stuck in her ways bitchy Rose from the books or movies.  Our Rose is a downright spoiled rotten mean girl, who will never grow up because she wants to remain that rich girl who has everyone surrounding themselves in her light to better their standings.  Edward could have married the high class daughter of some billionaire tycoon, and Rose would have issue unless she bowed down to Rose. 

Jasper in this story is one of the most in character, characters we have.  Very smart and laid back, goes with the flow and yet is always there to help calm matters that need attention. 

Emmett, God I love Emmett.  He is so fun loving and wild, but he is so very smart and he can step up and show it when the time is called on him to do so.  You will be seeing a lot more of this intellectual and loving Emmett as the story progresses. 

I hope that you have enjoyed this little insight we have shared with you this week.  Feel free to join us on Facebook, where there are tons of discussions and theories shared daily.  Just search for TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction and it will pop up.  Thanks everyone for making us feel so great, we are proud to bring this story to you and so happy you are enjoying it.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Kasi (& Nikky).

 

Chapter 20: Snow Storms Teaser...Subject to changes during beta process.

Emmett has filed papers with the court, getting Bella temporary custody for Seth and Leah.  Angela, Ben’s wife, who is a social worker, is making case notes on Bella’s behalf.  She is also talking to each of the kids, and doing a home study to make sure that they are having all of their needs met. 

It was not an easy task to get Bella to agree to all of this, but when Emmett explained that if her stepmom came back, she could take Seth and Leah and Bella might never see them again. He also explained that because Bella was now of age, she could keep it from happening by letting us help her.

I didn’t like scaring her, but it worked.  She thinks that if her mother gets them, she would not allow her to see them anymore.  She is afraid that Sue would then leave them with someone else, and they would end up getting hurt.  She said she would rather be there for them to keep them safe, so she finally agreed to sign the proper paperwork.  We all told her there was no way that she would lose the kids. 

Angela sat her down and explained to her that with her support system, it would be in Seth and Leah’s best interest to become their legal guardian.  It took us all a while to convince her that, since she was now a legal adult, and she had been taking such great care of them, that the court would be on her side.  Carlisle, Rev. Weber, Jasper, Peter, Marcus, Samantha - who is another worker at Jasper and Peter’s office, Chas, Esme, Aro, Zafrina, and myself, were finally able to convince her.  So far, quite a few people from the church and Sunday school program have written out statements, all in Bella’s favor.  Aro and Zafrina have documented files that they have kept; all of which have been copied and sent to Emmett.  Aro has documentation of all of the work she has done over the years.  With Aro’s help, and Bella’s social security number, I have paid all of her back Social Security taxes, so she has documented earned income. Bella is also now a real employee of the college. She is no longer paid under the table. 

Because Bella has had no education, we have set up a verbal IQ test for her to take. Since she is so smart in mathematics alone, I know her scores will be quite high.  Once she can fully read, we are going to have her take the GED test and get her a diploma.  Angela said that because the kids are in school, her inability to read will not be held against her.  Angela was also quick to point out, that with the substantial support system that Bella has, DCFS would recommend that the children be placed with her at this point anyway. 

Emmett says that at this point, he is ninety-nine point nine percent certain that Bella will be granted full legal guardianship of Seth and Leah in court. Until the hearing, there is a temporary order of guardianship filed, and unless they take Bella to court, neither Sue nor Harry can come in and take the kids away from her.  The case has been booked for the second week in February, which gives us eight weeks to prepare.

Great chapter. Ms Alice needs her butt kicked. I love me some Emmett!

Author's Response:

Teaser for chapter 11.

Thank you for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  Well in this chapter you were given the chance to know Edward a little better, in the next chapter you will get to know a tad bit more about the kids and the background story on them, but you will also learn more about Bella.  Alice and Jasper are still together, but Jasper does have issues with Alice and her behavior and he will continue to call her to the carpet on it.  Rose wants the world to revolve around her, and when she rages there will be all kinds of fun things going on.  More to come on their bad behaviors, lots more...  Don’t everyone lynch Carlisle, he is just worried for the welfare of the children, and he will be a saving grace in Bella’s life because he is now the children’s doctor.  Edward and Bella are both going to be learning form the other.  Edward doesn’t realize what Bella is teaching him yet, but he will figure it out.  Thanks again for having some faith in us, I know we can’t redeem him in everyone eyes and there are a few of you who are still very upset about his time at the club.  If you are still upset, I hope by the end of the story, you’re not dwelling on that, because the basis of the story is so much more than that.

Thanks so much.  Kasi (&Nikky)

 

 

 

Chapter 11 teaser… Subject to changes during beta process.

“I am Seth Charles Swan.”

“Do you know your date of birth?”

He nods his head. “December, 31st, 2003.” So that makes Seth seven years and almost nine months.

Carlisle looks to Bella. “Was he born in a hospital, or at home?”

She looks at Seth. “Hospital, mom had a few weeks left before they were supposed to be born. The police had come to tell her dad had died, and her water broke when she was shouting at them. Then the EMT people came, one of them was a lady and they took mom away to the hospital.”

Carlisle looks at Bella and nods. “Do you know how early?” Bella bites her lip and shakes her head. “After he came home, has he seen a doctor?”

Bella nods her head.  “I had to take them to see Aro’s doctor and he gave them all the immunization shots they needed.  Zafrina took them for me if I was at work at the hotel.  Zafrina is Aro’s mom and she promised that they would be okay and said that they needed those shots. She told me that they were very important for them to have so they stayed healthy.”

Carlisle looks at her. “Can you tell me who Aro is, or the doctor’s name?”

Bella frowns at him and then looks at me. It is clear she is confused as to why he doesn’t know who Aro is. “Zafrina lives next door to me, she very kind and looks after Seth and Leah when I am at work because you’re not supposed to leave them by themselves, that is very bad.  Aro is her son; he helped me get my jobs. They help me, but I know that I should have been there, but… I… have I done something bad?” She looks like she is getting upset, and at no point has she told him that I know Aro. I grip her hand and rub the top of it and give her a smile to thank her for keeping my secret.  I turn to look at Carlisle and tell him who she is speaking about.

“I know Aro and the doctor she is talking about. His name is Jason Jenks, I am sure you are familiar with him. I will give him a call to fax all the paperwork he has on them.” Carlisle looks at me nods his head, and gives me a clear look to say that he wants to know more about this. I stand up heading to the door.

“Okay, Leah can you tell me your full name?”  She smiles and nods her head.

“Leah Sue Swan,” she smiles at him.

“Do you know your date of birth?”

“Yes, it is January 1st, 2004.”

“Ah, the twins have different birthdates, so that tells me that you Seth were born very late at night, and you Leah were born very early in the morning.  Am I correct?”

They nod their heads all together, and I smile.

Date: 02 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Birthday Surprise

What a great story! Just started it today and couldn't stop. I didn't even work on my own story!

I like that Edward is making such great progress in his quest of self improvement when it comes to Bella. And I like that Bella seems to be more open to him.

It seems that they have both been put through hell by their mother/step mother.

Love Jasper and his relationship with Edward. I am ready to punch both Alice and Rose in their face. Please let me. Just one time each. That's all I ask!!!

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.
LOL... Have to say that if you want to punch them, you might have a line to stand in, because i am half responsible for writing these b*tch*s, and I want to throw them off the nearest cliff!  Our next update is next Thursday, so get some writing done between now and then, I don't want no mad readers, for you or for me. 
We know that the more the story develops the more we all want Edward to just post haste stop going to Aro’s club.  I wanted to give a clear run down on the girls that he sees there, so that we can keep things straight.  Edwards’s girls at Aro’s:  Sally: sex addict 27 tall she about 5ft 8 red shoulder length hair thin and tall. Likes roll play.  Irina: 6ft tall slender and Blond Hair to her cheek bones like rough sex and anal sex. 29 years old.  Carmen: 5ft 6 long black hair enjoys being controlled by men, average weight and size. Likes BDSM and being restrained.  Maria:  5’5 180 pounds curvy and thicker than other girls.  Sandy blonde hair, cute features and very large breasts.  More relaxed and sensual.  Edward only sees her maybe once a month, sometimes longer than that between visits.  He controls her too, but it is all about sensual and erotic pleasure with her than it is about rough and controlling hard core sex.  Some question if he chose Maria the last time and more often, because she reminded him of Bella.  Truth be known Carmen would be the one who resembles Bella the most.  He is not with Maria to pretend she is Bella, but because from Maria he gets the softer more sensual erotic side of sex.  Edward had made the decision a long time ago to make himself this untouchable person, and when it came to the girls most of the time he went with the hard core domination side of the act.  I can’t say that Edward’s visits to the club will cease right away, but I do assure you that soon our professor with the extremely dark view of all women will soon realize that he just can’t do it anymore.  He may be smart and he may be a lot of things, but sometimes when you shut yourself off, it’s hard to wake up those pieces of yourself.  I hope that this helps a little in the explanation of Edward and his tainted views.  I will tell you this, I just got done with my part on a chapter where he comes clean with Bella about what he did when he spent time at the club, and telling the truth can be quite cleansing.

Thanks, Kasi (&Nikky)

 

 

Chapter 9 Teaser… Subject to changes during BETA process.

“Mr. Masen, I don’t mean to be rude, but where are we going? Do you need me to work at your house today?”

I shake my head as we keep walking.  “No Isabella, as you know all my employees have to have a medical check.  I am accompanying you to yours.”  We stop walking when we arrive at the bus stop. I look at Isabella who is looking upset.

“Mr. Masen, I didn’t bring any money with me.  I can’t afford to have a medical check, I am sorry.” I look down at her and frown.  There is something in her expression that tells me that it’s not just money she is worried about. I look up seeing the bus coming to a stop beside us.

We both get on, but this time I lead her to the seats at the back.  I motion for her to sit and I sit next to her, leaving a little room between us. “Isabella, I set up a medical plan for each of my staff including you. Your medical is a part of that so you don’t have to worry about payment, it has already been covered.” I am not really lying, more like stretching the truth a little. “I know that you don’t like people too close to you, for that reason I am taking you to see a dear friend of mine.” I smile thinking about how to explain Carlisle. “His name is Carlisle, and he is much more than a friend to me.  I guess you could say that he is like a father figure. He is a very compassionate man, and he has an amazing ability to relax people. He will not hurt you. I would never allow him, or anyone to hurt you.” I didn’t really mean for what I said at the end to come out, but as I looked into her eyes it just came out.  She looked me right in the eye for much longer then she usually does.  I watch her reaction and notice her bite her lip, as she nods her head.

“Will you stay with me, the whole time?”  She asks, as her eyes fall to the floor. 

Without meaning to, my hand moves to the underside of her chin.  I feel small sparks on the tips of my fingers as I keep my fingers against her skin.  These are those same comforting sparks I felt the night of my panic attack, I dismiss it.  I slowly tilt her chin up, making her look at me again. “I will stay with you, if that is what you want.  This is your choice Isabella.  I know that I have been ordering you around a lot, but this time it is your complete choice and decision.  If you wish for me to stay in the room with you, then I will.  If you want me to leave, then I will.  This is all about you, and what you want.” 

She keeps looking at me and I could feel her shaking a little, but she never pulls her face away from my hand.  “I would like you to stay in the room please, Mr. Masen.” I nod my head letting her face go.

Great chapter ladies! I always look forward to your updates. I have to say the thought of getting brokrn into never crossed my mind and I have no clue who it could be. The only ones I could think of would be Alice or Sihbion. And I will slap a bitch if it is one of them!

I was hoping that you would work it to where they stayed at Edwards a while instead of going back home.

Can't wait for the next update!

Author's Response:

Wow what else can Nikky or I say...once again the overwhelming response and the amount of story love we are receiving from so many people just makes us both feel so loved.  I know that this story may have a few minor flaws, but we have tried all along to keep them to a minimum.  So essentially thank you as always for reading and reviewing our story it makes us all giggly and excited to see all the reviews we are getting. 
We asked you who you thought it might be that broke into Bella and the twins apartment, and I must say we were a little surprised that a lot of you have it figured out.  With a wide range of evil or rude nasty characters, many of you said it was Uncle Harry...and you are right.  There will not be resolution for a bit when it comes to Uncle Harry, so if you want to figure out what he was looking for all I can suggest is watch for clues.  There are some very important and much asked for things coming soon. 
We have been asked many times for Edward to stop using Aro’s girls for his pleasure.  And where we understand why, we also knew it was very unrealistic for a man with so much anxiety, pressure, cynicism and tainted view to jump into a healthy relationship and give up the release and hidden pleasure he has surrounded himself in to get by for the past five plus years.  He has slowly been weaning himself from the place, and very soon he will open up and tell Bella why he went there.  We have been asked when you all get to know a lot more about Edward...well very soon actually, and by that I mean the next few chapters are chuck full of things from the past. 
We have been asked if Renee will come back...(A LOT ACTUALLY)...Renee was Bella’s biological mother, who died when Bella was only three years old.  At the age of three after her mother died, custody of Bella was given to Charlie Swan who was her biological father.  Charlie was married to Sue Swan, who is the mom she talks about leaving all the time.  Sue Swan is the person who left Bella to care for the twins.  Since this story is not alternate universe, neither, Charlie or Renee will be making any grand entrance, unless via a dream.  But don’t get too happy, because Sue Swan is still out there somewhere, and she has a few things to say.
We have been asked a lot if Alice, Rose, Siobhan, and Esme will make any redemption...Esme already has begun her turn around, and we think she is doing well.  Siobhan, well she wore out her welcome quite completely at the ball, at this point there is not a real plan to drag her back into the storyline.  Alice...well this is a hard one for me.  I actually normally always LOVE Alice, but this Alice is a tough nut to crack.  She is not going to bring in the roses and become a fan favorite anytime soon, but you will notice some changes.  As for Rose, well...I just can’t wait to hear your opinions of her...and I am sure you’ll have plenty next week.
Updating...we had planned all along to only update every other week on Thursdays.  However since posting the first chapter we have been on an every week posting schedule...and we have NO INTENTION of changing that at this time.  Nikky and I have a comfortable cushion, and the next chapter to post is with the beta now.  I got this weeks chapter back from the beta on Tuesday afternoon, so realistically we are posting around when they are ready.  Nikky is working on her part of chapter 26 right now, and I am working on 24 so we are not looking at any lapses in time.  We are both so excited you are choosing to come down this road with us. 
Where the next chapter has some major info and angst, we promise that chapter seventeen will make up for it.  Thanks again for always being so supportive and showing the story love HCV deserves.

Chapter 16 Teaser...subjected to changes during the BETA process...

Its Thanksgiving today, and I am on my way to pick up Bella and the kids.  Bella and I decided that, after dinner with my family, they would all stay the night at my house tonight.  I will run them home to get their things for the camping trip in the morning, and see them off to camp.  Bella will make sure that Jake has enough food, and then she is coming to spend the weekend with me.  I’m looking forward to this weekend, but I am worried about my growing feelings for her. I knock on the door before using my key to get in.  Bella gave me a spare key so I could let myself in. The new door has a double lock on it, and is reinforced with steel; no one is breaking this one down.

I walk in, seeing Leah in a black, knee-length dress with a cream ribbon around the waist, and black shoes.  Seth is wearing a pair of black pants and a cream colored button down shirt, with a black tie and shoes.

“Wow, look at you Leah! You’re very beautiful, and Seth, you look so handsome.” They both smile at me and look up as Bella walks in. She is in a cream colored dress, with a black ribbon around the waist. The dress goes to just above her knees; she looks fucking beautiful in it - so fucking beautiful.

“Wow, Bella! You look sensational...really beautiful.  Are we all ready to go?” I look her up and down, I am so glad she allowed me to buy us all new outfits for today. 

I got around her apprehension by telling her that I wanted to go to church with them this Sunday night.  We are attending the evening service after Seth and Leah return from camp.  Since I was buying something for myself, I wanted to get them something, as well.  As usual, getting Bella to let me buy Seth and Leah something, was easy, but her...not so much.  I was so fucking glad Seth and Leah helped me. I have on black pants and black shirt with a cream colored tie.  I push my fucking guilty feelings down and smile at the three of them.

“Yes, we’re all ready.” Bella picks up their bags, and I quickly take them from her.

“Let’s go,” I say as I usher us all out the door together.

Great chapter ladies. Thanks for the background story on Edward, Tanya, and his son. So glad Bella stoodnup to Rose. But I hope that both Rose and Alice both get more of what is owed to them.

I'm just worried that when Bella's real age comes out that he will feel like the Tanya situation again.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  Nikky and I are both just so blown away by the response our story is garnering.  Thanks to the many recommends and pimping we have been getting.  Thanks for the response of our fans that make and send us banners and poems and mostly the kind words of love that give us the drive to keep HCV going strong. 
There have been a lot of you all asking for the Bella point of view, and you are going to get it.  The next chapter will have a lot of things going on and we hope you love it.  The age reveal will be in chapter 17, along with a first kiss, the kids going off to camp, Edward and Bella together and meeting up with Sally...those are a few things you have to look forward to.  We started a group on Facebook, you’re all invited to join.  TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction. 
Now to the nitty gritty... 
We both wondered how many of you would ask if Edward’s son was really dead or not, and if Tanya was dead or not.  We want to be clear that Tanya Denali and the child she gave birth to are in fact deceased; they died in the fire.  
We want to point out that Edward is not a Dom.  He role-played and dabbled with the girls at the club, because it was his way of maintaining full control.   He has no desire to tie Bella up and spank her, he is not looking at her as his next submissive or slave.  Just want to be perfectly clear, he is not into the BDSM lifestyle, he is just a man who was seating his needs at a club the only way he saw fit to do so and protect his heart and soul. 

Thank you again for all of the story love and wonderful things you say.  You really have no idea what your words and kindness mean to us.  Thanks, Kasi (&Nikky)


Chapter 17 teaser...subject to changes during Beta process.
Right now, we’re back at Bella’s apartment getting Seth and Leah’s stuff ready for their trip.

“Okay, Seth, you have everything from your list in your bag, right?”  I watch as he nods his head, and chuckle to myself since Bella had just checked over the list and the bag with him herself.  “Leah, do you have everything from your list in your bag, too?”

“Yes, Bella. Edward and I just went through the list twice.”  I turn my head to hide my chuckle. 

“Okay. Well, we have to be at the church in forty minutes, and since Edward is taking us, we have time to double check.”

“Baby, Leah and Seth have everything they need. How about you go pack your bag now, and feed Jake?  I will help Leah and Seth take their backpacks down to the car.”

“Okay, I will hurry,” she says, leaving to go to her box.

I can tell that Bella is trying to put on a strong front for them, but I know this is killing her to let them go on this trip. It will be good for them, though, and good for her, too.  I have planned out this weekend so that she gets a chance to be a twenty-four year old for a change.  After we have everything packed and ready, we head out.

I drive them to the church, seeing a bus and a bunch of children.  I also see Sally there, and I frown as I pull into a parking space.  “Sally works in the Sunday school. She’s the main reason they are going.  She is taking her cell with her, and said that I could call her anytime.  She is also going to have them call me before bed, and when they get up in the morning.  You can stay here if you want. You don’t need to come with me. I won’t tell her who you are.” I turn to look at her, and smirk because she answered my internal question.

I shake my head.  “No, I am fine, Baby. Thank you.” 

The night of the break in, I explained to Bella that I went by a different name at Aro’s, and the girls I was with, had never seen my face because they were blindfolded.  I was very glad that she just nodded her head, and didn’t ask any other questions.  I hate the fact that I’ve been with them.  I don’t want my sins to show in her eyes when I look at her each time I remember that she saw me there.  When the time comes, and she finds out what I did and what happens there with me and the girls, I hope and pray to God that I don’t lose her friendship.

We get out of the car and start walking over. As we do, Sally waves, making her way over to us.  Her eyes hit me for only a few seconds before she looks back at Bella.

Date: 03 May 2012 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Weekend Revelations!

Great chapter as always. So glad to see that Bella is finally opening up to Edward. Loved the kissing! And so glad that she told him how she feels.

As far as the age thing goes, I think that it will be hard at first for Edward to accept it, but I think he loves her too much to let it stand in his way. I just think this will make him take it a little slower than he already is with her.

As far as alternate POV's, I would love one of Rose. This would tell us what all she is thinking and why she is so hell bent on destroying Bella and Edwards relationship. It can't all be about Tanya, can it? I think the Bella POV will be the most interesting. And I can't wait for it.

Good job ladies!

Author's Response:

Hello our faithful readers and reviewers!  We were expecting a bit of a lashing from some of you, and we have gotten a few but nothing like I expected.  Please let me remind you all now first and foremost that we are both happy ever after kind of gals.  Little refresher is needed about ages, and a few other things, since there were a few questions.  Edward is 28 and will soon be turning 29.  Bella just turned 11 when the twins were born, Sue left when Bella was 13, and Bella has been working for the university for over 5 years.  Bella just turned 19 in chapter 8.  Edward is 9 and 1/2 years older than Bella.  Before Sue left, she obtained a fake ID for Bella that said Bella was 18.  Therefore everyone surrounding the apartment building assumed she was of legal age.  Sue needed everyone to think Bella was 18, and she was sure to scare tactic that into Bella.  All these years, Bella has continued to maintain the age Sue said she had to say she was, in fear of not being able to stay with the twins.  Now for Bree Tanner and James...Bree Tanner was the female student from Edward’s Summer school course he taught.  In the summer for the past several years, Edward has been helping his good friend Marcus by teaching the kids who struggle to pass, or are so far behind they may not graduate high school.  Bree Tanner was the hoodie wearing shy and quiet girl from chapters 1 and 2.  Bree lives in Forks and attends high school at Forks High.  James Hunter is a Math teacher and the truancy officer for the Forks school district.  We don’t want to give too much away, but if you think back to the earlier chapters, when Edward had to take a break from his panic attacks, he was clear to tell Marcus his concerns about Bree being abused.  Bella is naive about many things, but she has grown a lot in the past few chapters.  We want to be clear that Bella feels as if she lied to Edward, she started trusting him a long time ago and when she started trusting him she feels she should have told him then.  Edward doesn’t feel betrayed by the lie, but he is more of in shock by the lie.  When he thought he was almost 5 years older than Bella he was concerned with the age difference, mainly because of how innocent she is.  Now that that almost five is almost ten, he is confused.  The next chapter will have you cheering Edward on, and hating his guts too.  We don’t want to give too much away, but I will say this, we are both excited at the prospect of the reviews after the next chapter posts.  Thanks as always for reading and reviewing this story, you all have no idea how much your words mean to us.  Thank you, Kasi (& Nikky)

 

Teaser for Chapter 18: Confessions  (As always subject to changes in the Beta process.)

Leaving Bella’s place, I get in my car and drive.  I don’t even slow down when the speedometer hits one-hundred-thirty miles per hour; I just keep driving.  I am racing to get away from the fear and the rage that is inside of me. I still feel so angry; how the fuck did I not see that she was only nineteen?!  I mean, she looks so young; I am so fucking pissed at myself.  She is still a baby, and the fact that she is only nineteen, doesn’t keep me from wanting her.  I want her, and I need to be with her.  I want her in every way, which is so fucked up. I shouldn’t want to be with a nineteen year old girl.

 

She was thirteen when Sue left her to look after Seth and Leah.  She was so fucking young, and she ended up in Aro’s club at thirteen!  Fuck, if he would have said yes to her…if she was in the pictures I had to choose from…I would have picked her…I know I would have… fuck! I could have really hurt her.  I am really fucking sick! Thank God he said no! Fuck, the dip shit pimp that said yes...shit! I’m sure she would…fuck I don’t even want to finish that thought.

 

“FUCK!” I scream out and I do an illegal U-turn at eighty miles per hour.  I decide I need to see Aro. If I find out that fucker knew her real age, I am going to add that motherfucker to my shit list.  I am going to hurt him so fucking much, and anyone who tries to stop me, too.

Date: 24 May 2012 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Snow Storms

UHG! You left it there? Really??? Killing me here.

As usual, this was a great chapter. Love the fact that Edward is starting to set it all up for Bella, Seth, and Leah to move in. Getting the rooms ready is just the first step. I know he is only doing this for when they are there, but I hope it won't be long before they are there full time.

I loved the fact that Seth and Leah threatened Edward. Seems to me that everyone that truly knows Bella, loves her and will protect her. (I don't consider Alice, Rose, and Gina, as people who really know her. They have not taken the time to know her. They are jerks who are too full of themselves.)

I think my favorite line is... You have a winkie, and I have a flower. Then I like when Edward asks her to never refer to his penis as a winkie. LOL!

Glad to see all of the things that they have all set into motion for Bella to get custody of the kids.

And I am really happy that Bella is really opening up to Edward, and is making so much progress.

Please tell me that something horrible will be happening to Gina!!!

I know that you wouldn't kill off Bella, as she is the story, but I am just praying that she didn't get sexually attacked. Don't know how much damage that would do to her. Not that she would be okay with just being beaten up, but because of her history, I think she would make it back from that a lot better than anything worse.

Can't wait till the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Hello to our faithful bunch, thanks for reading and reviewing chapter 20 of HCV.  Nikky and I really are so grateful to all our wonderful readers and reviewers.  In the author’s note I asked all of you to tell me what your favorite line from the story so far.  Here is Nikky’s from chapter 19 – "Have a good night, and keep Little Edna in your pants. And I do mean your pants. Close the door behind you when you're able to shut your mouth and leave." I stand there for a minute with my mouth hanging open, before shaking my head and leaving.   My favorite quote so far is from Chapter 20 – "I will use the adult terms, and try to stick to the given terms of penis or vagina, but please, for my sanity, can we not call my cock a winkie?"

Many of you are wondering who is behind Bella being hurt.  Bella actually fell, but it was what took place at the college before she left that caused her the issues to be as sick as she is right now.  In the next chapter that person and their actions will be handled, and handled quite well.  Some have worried that we may have Bella been brutalized or raped and we want to be clear that we would not ever do that in this story.  We both agree with you that Bella has been brutalized and hurt enough from her so called loved ones to cause her anymore brutalization.  There was an attack against her at the college before she left, and as I said that will be handled quite well. 

Thanks again for all of the wonderful attention and recognition you all give to His Cimmerian View.  Your responses mean the world to us, thanks.  Kasi (& Nikky)

 

Chapter 21 teaser…subject to changes during beta process…

I make it back to my car quickly.  I open her door sitting her in her seat and strap her in as best I can. “Baby, you’re in my car, I’m going to get you to Carlisle.”  I kiss her head, close her door, and run around to my side.  I get in and start driving without waiting to put on my seat belt. I switch the heat on high. “Baby, I got the heating on for you. We’ll be there soon.”  Please God let us get there soon!  I fiddle with my cell getting the hands free turned on, so I can call Carlisle.

“Hello Edward,” I hear Carlisle’s cheerful voice come across the hands free.

“Can you get to the Hospital, right away?  Its Bella, she is hurt. I found her in the park unconscious. She has a head wound, and she’s been lying in the fucking snow for about an hour.”  I try to calm my voice, the last thing I need to do is break down.

“Edward, I’m on way back to the hospital now.  I just left a few minutes ago. I should get there before you do.  I will let you go. The last thing we need is for you to crash.  I’ll be outside with a team ready for you when you get there.  Drive safely, son.” Carlisle disconnects the call, not waiting for me to reply.

“Baby, we’re almost there. Come on Baby, wake up for me.”  I stroke her face, while driving around the fucking cars that are in front of me.  These people are idiots, they are driving like old people fuck, slow and sloppy.  I commit many driving penalties, yet I am driving better than anyone else out here.  I’m sure I’ve been caught on nearly all the speed cameras that are up.  I sigh out in relief as I come up to the hospital.  I pull up in front of the emergency doors and I see Carlisle already there.  I pull to a stop and he waves to the door and opens Bella’s door with his other hand.  He picks her up turns and places her on a gurney.  I jump out and catch up to him.

“Hey you can’t park there,” I hear. 

Turning around I see the security officer glaring at me, and I throw him my keys.  “Then you move it,” I say.

He catches my keys, and looks at me.  “I am not here to be your valet.”

I turn back and glare at him.  “Then call and have it fucking towed, I don’t give a shit.  My girl is… fuck!”

I feel Carlisle pull on my arm.  “Mitch please can you park the car for my son, she is in critical condition.”  Mitch looks at Carlisle then to me and his face pales, but he nods his head.  I feel the air leave my body, she’s in critical condition!   “Edward I need you to calm down and come with me.”  Carlisle pulls me along with him and I head to the trauma room.  I see them removing her clothes.  “Edward, do you know why her clothes soaking wet? Even under her coat is wet. There is no way this all occurred from her lying in the snow.” I shake my head at him, because I don’t know. I stand back and watch them work on her.

Date: 28 Jun 2012 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25: A Sketching Surprise

WOW! You packed a lot into this chapter. I would have never guessed the Harry/James plot.

As for the evil bitch Rose... Is this the last we hear from her? Or do you plan to let loose some retribution? I loved it when Emmett said that he would take Bella for his own. That made me giggle. I liked getting to see Bella with Cam, and her helping out. That baby needs a mother, and even though Bella is more of an aunt, I know that her loving him would greatly help him out. Babies need to feel that motherly love.

Okay, as far as the scrapbooks. First off, how dare you leave it there! lol I don't remember ever hearing of Tanya's or Sue's age, so I am not sure if they could be the same person. Not sure how I will feel if they are. One one hand I would be glad because that means that she will never be able to come back in their lives again.

I do wonder how Harry/James was able to know of Edward to use his name. That was 9 years ago. I don't remember the time frame of Edward/Tanya. So I am not sure of the connection.

Can't wait for the next chapter. Dang it. I have a whole week to wait. Not good. :-)

Okay, heading now to read Bella's POV.

Author's Response:

Thanks again for the outstanding and wonderful reviews!  We are so excited and happy to have you all on board with us for this journey and we sure hope that you all continue to love and praise the story the way that you do.  I know that you all learned some rather interesting pieces of information in the puzzle we call His Cimmerian View.  I bet a lot of you have more questions than you are asking.  But to answer a few of the questions that don’t take away from future story line here you go.  Yes it is possible that Tanya and Sue are the one in the same, but do remember that Tanya Denali was positively identified by dental records.  Some are asking if Sue could be Edward’s long lost mother... I guess that is a thought, but the age thing would be difficult to swallow.   Sue could very well be masquerading as Bella and trying to get her hands on the money that has been left to her both from her mother’s Estate and her grandfather’s.  Wow more of you seem to be worried about who might have their hand on Edward’s shoulder than much else, so I will relive you of that stress, it is in fact Carlisle.  Between this chapter and the BPOV on EHCV we have had many question how Harry/James could have gotten into Bella’s apartment after Aro did all the security measures, and I assure you that his ability to get into the apartment will be answered, just have faith in us, and you will see.  Lots of new things will come out in the next chapter as well and unfortunately you are all going to hate us, because it will be ending in a cliffhanger as well.  In the next chapter we will get to see Edward come face to face with Harry though... insert evil laugh... but at least I am showing you the teaser from that meeting!  I am excited about the ending of the story; however we will not update any faster than we currently are.  I am working on chapter 28 and Nikky is on chapter 29.  At this rate we are going to be pushing to keep up with the schedule of posting each week.  No I am not saying we will not post, but I am saying we will at this point be sticking to the every Thursday posting.   If you haven’t yet, go check out Enduring His Cimmerian View... the Bella POV chapter is posted.  We will not be adding any chapters to EHCV, until we have the main story cracked out of HCV.  Thank you for being some of the best readers and reviewers out there and for loving this story we are sharing with you all.  Kasi (&Nikky)

 

Chapter 26 teaser...subject to changes during Beta process.
All of it; I mean, this mother fucker broke Seth’s arm.  I close my eyes, and when I open them again, I see nothing but him. Without even thinking about what I’m doing; I hit the fucker as hard as I can.  I just keep hitting him until I feel someone pull me back. With the rage still blinding me, I knock whoever it is off of me and hit Harry again. 

Suddenly, I feel a lot more people dragging me back. I feel a sting on my face, and I look around to see Aro shaking his head.  Garrett has his arms wrapped around my waist, Felix is holding my left arm, and Emmett is on my right; I have no clue when he got here. Standing right in front of me is Jane. 

“Jane, I don’t think you needed to slap him,” Aro says as he walks over to us.  That fucking bitch slapped me! 

“He was out of it, and it brought him back didn’t it?  Besides that, I get to do the beating up around here,” she huffs, walking away from me to bend down and look at Harry.  I look down as well, noticing that I knocked the fucker out. I can’t help but grin about it.  “Wipe that look off your face! You broke some of his ribs and his nose; that’s my job, Assward!”  Jane jumps up and walks over to her bag. She brings out some jars and sets them in a line on the desk.

“Eh...what the hell is in those jars?” Emmett asks as he gives me a look to ask if I’m alright.  I nod and the three of them release me.

Great chapter. The mystery pov has me stumped. They are not after her but need to get to her house. Hum??? What is up with that. And I think that Em's insiders is of course Rose. But with her attitude he needs to give her some extra sexy time!

Great chapter. Glad to see some progress being made with these two.

Can't wait to find out what the deal is with Bella's house. I have a feeling it has nothing to do with her shoe throwing. Speaking of shoes, what is up with Jasper and shoes??? Come on, give a hint.

Shorter chaPters. That way I get some of it sooner! Great chapter. I hope Bella pulled back because of morning breath and that's it.

Maybe Rose won't be such a frigid bitch of she starts getting some from Emmett.

The saboteur is Victoria, right? She's working with James. I noticed that you have mentioned Victoria's name both in dealing with James, and then in a meeting that Edward had with his department heads. She's PR if I remember correctly?

I was always disapointed that nothing happened that night between them. I like your version better than Janet's!

This is a look into the minds of those who have watched Edward slowly remove himself from his own cimmerian view. These are Outtakes based off of His Cimmerian View. Read through chapter 24 of His Cimmerian View before starting this. AH/OOC

Banner made by the wonderful SoapyMayhem for His Cimmerian View, we just added the word Enduring.  Thanks SoapyMayhem you ROCK!

Okay, please tell me that the man/boy that gave her a muffin was Edward! That's the first thought that hit me. And maybe that is why he had such a strong reaction to her scrap books. He saw a drawing of himself that she had made. Maybe???

Thanks for letting us get a glimpse of Bella, from her own perspective.

I would really like a POV from Jasper, Emmett, Rose and Alice. I want to see what Jasper thinks from a pshyc point of view. And Emmett is such a loving person, I would like to see what he thinks. And as for POV's from Alice and Rose, it would be to see why they feel the need to be bitches.

Great job ladies!

Author's Response:

Hello to all our lovely readers, thank you for reading and reviewing Enduring His Cimmerian View.  A lot of you were shocked by the level of abuse, but from the story in Edward’s POV the abuse was clearly going to be a factor.  Thank you for all the kind words and things said, trust us we want to hug Bella too, she is such a good person.  I personally feel a connection of sorts with our Bella, and I hope that Nikky and I are able to continue to write her in a way that allows you the ability to feel a connection too.  There was a few questions regarding the talk of Aro being married and mixing up of Aro and Marcus.  In Bella’s thoughts she is remembering seeing Edward outside of Gina’s office and then again outside Aro’s office.  Marcus did marry a girl who was one of Aro’s girls, and Aro married Sulpicia who is the girl that Bella witnessed being raped.  I hope this helps to make sense of a misunderstanding.   As for future POV’s we have planned, the next one we will write will be the Esme and Carlisle joint POV.  A lot of you have requested a Rosalie POV and we will do it, but it will be a while before we post it.  We are very honored that so many of you take the time to share with us your thoughts and we are so glad to have you all on board reading our stuff.  Thank you, Kasi (&Nikky) 
PS.. yes edward gave her the muffin, the next POV is Janes and it will be coming to you very soon.
