Hello,
I've recently decided to consolidate my fics into one central location. I don't have too much time to write anymore but when I do I try to keep my fics updated on FFn. It's where I started and where I most feel at home. I apologize for dropping them from this site but I get stressed out keeping up my fics in too many locations. I just wanted to thank all the readers of this site for your support and hope that you'll look me up on FFn if you would like to continue to follow my stories. Thanks again, Qute.
Married for a year, Edward is disillusioned with his nagging wife. Bella is upset with her forgetful husband. Their fights are frequent and loud, their only saving grace the passion and love they share in the bedroom.
Can this marriage be saved?

Back again. :0)
I love Pink. Her songs a great source of inspiration and mood. Can't wait to see what you do with this song.
"He thought about cleaning up the mess on the floor but then decided against it. Let her see the devastation she had caused" I'm going to call this the metaphor for their life right now. He sees something is broken, but will he do anything about it? No. Let her find it for herself. I think communication is what most of us lack in relationships like this. Talking, not making noise without listening, but real talking needs to happen. Maybe she wouldn't feel frustrated if he told her more than just whined back. And maybe she would be more appreciative if she got whatever it was she felt she was missing with him too.
Surprisingly enough, I'm not pissed at this Bella- yet. I tend to be uptight about things myself. Having someone roll their eyes at me when I point out what I want only makes me yell too. ;0) I guess really, what I mean is I can't lay all blame on her. Two people say I do. I don't see Edward abused so much as... silent. You know? I don't believe he talks to his wife. As I'm very certain she does not talk to him. This is a two lane street we're heading down now.
I can already tell Edward holds his parents up to some unrealistic expectation. Just because you don't see it in your face everyday does not mean there are not problems. I have a feeling he'll be seeing a different side to his parents now that he is older and married himself.
I like this. Not that they fight so much, but that makes them a real couple. They feel very authentic in this. Their needs and frustrations very real. And their lack of understanding in each other very true to life.
Frankly Bella... he don't give a damn. ;0P
I like the time they spend apart. Like that we find out that Edward's so called "perfect" family was far from it. It's obvious that these two have a long way to go still in really making this work but they have open eyes now and that is really what life is all about. Passion=fighting. But love=a desire to make up.
Loved it!!! Good luck on the contest!!!

Jacob does a bad, bad thing. What happens to a rabid dog when he meets his executioner?

I know...it's taken me a looooong time to finally review this but I don't like to not give you my full attention. :0)
So let's start.
First off- I love Executioners, just saying.
"a wicked, panty-dropping grin on his face every time he slung me onto his back." um yum
Dun Dun Dun....Jacob's at the door.
Now I know this is gonna sound odd...coming from me...but I don't believe that Jake would have ever done something like this to Bella. I know this is a separate story but then, I don't believe that Edward would ever go that far sexually with her before marriage either so what I love about this one shot is the way you've intensified aspects of these characters. They lose their IDs..or that part of their brains that are keeping their desires in check. I think Jake's brain kept him from being this extreme in the original story but I won't deny he probably had the desire to do this a time or two. And now we see why it's good that he didn't. It spirals into bad to worse very quickly.
oh and can I just say that I appreciate that this is in first person? lol I know. I'm a punk. But I prefer first person.
EPOV-
Aww is it wrong that I find it so endearing and sweet to hear Edward excited to be a randy little teen? lol
protective, furious Edward makes me feel like a randy teenager. lol
BPOV-
I have the same reaction to Bella here. I don't believe that she would rally Jake's death so...easily. I know he hurt her. I know she has fear and pain fueling her in that moment. But she didn't even rally Victoria's death like that. And she wasn't practically, according to SM, in love with Victoria like she was with Jake. I think Bella would be ashamed to want to have Jake die, but more interested in helping him than hurting him. That's what makes Bella, Bella to me. That's what made it possible for her to love a monster that wanted to kill her- compassion. But there again, that's not to say that if you remove the filter Bella might not want to see Jake end. It's an interesting spin on her character. It makes her very different to the original. In my opinion.
I truly see this moment as insanity for Bella. Even once she was a vampire she couldn't kill a human. I know he hurt her, but she can't be thinking properly to snap like this.
Good ridddance indeed.
Well done. :0) and congrats on the awards!!!
Author's Response: Well...thanks for the long and detailed review! That's just fecking awesome. As for Jacob going this far - yeah, it was a bit of a stretch, but that was basically the whole point of this story. We needed a villain and he was our prime candidate. I'm not sure if Edward would let things get so far - SM only hinted at it a teeny tiny bit in BD. I do believe that they had some kind of intimate explorations, but since she had to keep the book YA, it didn't delve any deeper than his shirt on the floor. So we took some creative license, and be honest - who doesn't like to see some limes in a story like this? Can I see Bella shooting the mutt? Yes, absolutely. Again, we made him a villain, and this is set after she had said goodbye to him already. In BD, he's in Canada, moping, but in this story he's reacting a different way to the invitation. I think it's plausible that he snapped, and thus it's plausible for Bella to exact her wrath on him. I think that kidnapping her and practically assaulting her would have killed any feelings she might have had for the dog. By the way, you are one of the very few who questioned the characterization - most people simply said, hurrah the dog is dead. LOL. Thanks for reading. Love ya!
