I Will Follow You Into The Dark, G, 495 words. anonymous October 23 2009, 08:32:20 UTC

It was like hitting a brick wall. Or jumping into icy water, which was something she wasn't unfamiliar with. But this wasn't uncomfortable. No, far from that, this was the biggest comfort she'd ever felt. That's what Jacob Black was to Bella Swan. Comfort. Warmth, wholeness, as if somehow all the good feelings she'd ever felt in her life were somehow embodied in him and his sunrise of a smile. She felt ridiculously stupid for not realizing it before. Jake sure had. She couldn't be chastised though...when you thought you'd found your destiny, you weren't too hasty about letting it go. But what happens when your so-called destiny left you, with seemingly no regard for how you would cope in his absence? That's what had happened to Bella. She'd been abandoned, and shattered to the core. But patiently, painstakingly, Jacob had been putting her back together all along. And she didn't even realize it. He'd seen her at her absolute worst and pulled the best out of her. How was that even possible? She was sure she couldn't have done the same ( ... )

I'm not even gonna lie. This line: "Love isn't about what you get in return, Bells. It's what you have to give. I was always yours, and in my heart you were always mine," gave me goosebumps!!!

That was my personal favorite line too, actually! ;) Thank you so much! This was my first hand at J/B fic, or fic of any kind, really. So it really means a lot!

Coming to Nothing, G, 382 anonymous October 23 2009, 22:37:12 UTC

Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up ( ... )

Re: Coming to Nothing, G, 382 anonymous November 6 2009, 18:47:48 UTC

The rare times she was alone, and her mind was unquiet, Bella wanted to just to hold his hand.

Awwww :(

I love the tone of this. It's so pensive and simple. Very beautiful, anonymous.

tonight we ride, PG, 191 words anonymous October 24 2009, 02:24:50 UTC

If not for the monsters she'd have better reasons not to sleep.

Oh, yes, she is a Good Daughter, the kinder and cleaner type of a divorce-bitten cleft child; but even without a love sent from something she would find the dark in the middle of the night, sneaking out for friends. She would pick a daisy from a neighbor's yard and it would dangle from her hand when his car came scuttling through the thinness of too late o' clock. Coffee at the diner instead of cigarettes, but something that would happen in the back seat with a soft rush. She'd be a good girl in her quiet skirt, her red sneakers for tiptoeing to keep from waking, and she'd write Renee a letter every day. He'd be a kid cut free from any kind of upbringing that tells him what to do, find something for his heart in what the rule books never say. He'd do the right thing, he'd do the risky thing. He'd dare her to know the difference; when he'd drop her off, when his hand would leave her knee, she'd wonder if there was one.

oh my god, this is gorgeous.

I especially love this phrase~
the kinder and cleaner type of a divorce-bitten cleft child

It's so beautiful, I couldn't believe I'd actually read it. Brilliant.

Re: tonight we ride, PG, 191 words anonymous November 6 2009, 19:51:41 UTC

What a mysterious story. I cannot stop rereading it.
I love how the story tells you in such a subtle way what's going on and leaves a lot to the reader's imagination.

Re: tonight we ride, PG, 191 words vanillefax December 22 2009, 08:55:06 UTC

Please reveal yourself! :)
I really liked the mysterious and... adult tone of your story and I hope you are going to contribute to round two of the drabble contest

Dirty You Up, Bring You Down, PG, 427 words anonymous October 24 2009, 04:55:44 UTC

Bella's never pretended she wasn't a hypocrite at heart. Take take take and never give. Lead on and on and never crush.

And least, deep within her most private of thoughts, she is honest with herself.

She doesn't want Jacob to find happiness with anyone else.

She wants him for herself.

Jacob's seen her at her worst. Worse than she ever could have imagined she'd act. More deadened than she ever could have thought she'd feel. Broken to the point of recklessness, battered to the point of cruelty.

She's only ever seen him at his best.

When Jacob figures out how to break the Imprint, she's excited. Renesmee's her daughter. She's excited ( ... )

Oh goddd. How I wish I could edit this comment - can we just pretend that second line says "At least" not "and least"? And that I spelled Quil with only one "l"? *facepalm*

Re: Dirty You Up, Bring You Down, PG, 427 words anonymous November 5 2009, 15:34:17 UTC

"a life free of anything sleepless or hard and cold as marble"

loved that line
