This is a dangerous, dangerous thing first thing in the morning! How am I supposed to have any coherent thoughts for the rest of the day?

Before I get too distracted by what happened toward the end there, I have to say that your snippets of the other characters are perfect:

when he smiled I saw something of the man he must have been long ago --- Jasper; heart-wrenching image here!

Bella, where have you been all this time? --- Emmett; I can just see his dimpled smirk.

Your general theories of Bella's powers and vampire instincts are amazing! I've seen fan-fics with post-hunt intimacy and vampire/vampire love but this has put them all to shame!

Such intensity...I seriously need a cold shower now. Bless you, woman!

Oh wow, that was amazing!!! You're a much better writer than Smeyer. The story, descriptions are soo perfect and you capture the characters so well. Keep up the good work!! I'll be anticipating the next chapter =D

[bratanimus]

Thank you very much! I'm thrilled you liked it, and flattered by your kind words about my writing! *blush* :D

Thanks for your nice comments about the characterizations and the narrative. I really appreciate your reading this.

[bratanimus]

Yay for cold showers! May I recommend getting in a rainstorm whilst in the arms of a vampire? LOL ;)

I'm glad you liked this, especially the characterizations of the others. I'd love to see the change in Jasper when he's released from his constant torment. And Emmett ... I just love him more and more. He's my comic relief and Bella's voice of reason, lol.

Thanks for your comments about the vampire/vampire love! I've been itching to write that for a while, so I'm glad it delivered. :D

Thanks again. :)

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?

Morning smut. My day is now completely shot and full of distracted Edward/Bella thoughts.

I admit, I had the same thought as Carlisle - what if Bella couldn't feed? Luckily, not the case, and now they'll be able to get on a plane to go to Volturra without knocking Bella out :)

I love Jasper and Emmett in this fic, and I'd elaborate more, but your 9:30am vampire sex has broken my brain.

You are amazing!!!!!

[bratanimus]

Hee hee, thank you! Glad my morning smut managed to get you completely distracted. Great way to start any weekend. ;)

I wondered, too, about whether Bella would be able to feed at all; but I figured animal blood is somehow different to her than human blood (maybe all those rare steaks she made for Charlie, lol). So their flight to Italy should be relatively uneventful. ;)

Glad you liked Jasper and Emmett; I'm really loving them more and more.

Thank you again! :D

DAMN, that was good! I need a cold shower....

Emmett cracks me up so much!

All the vampire/vampire love I've read so far is put to ashame thanks to this. I've said it before: You're the best FF-writer on the planet!

Ok, now I REALLY need to take that cold shower.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

[bratanimus]

Thank you! For everyone who says they need a cold shower, I'm recommending getting in the rain with a vampire. It's win-win. ;)

I'm happy you liked Emmett; I sure did enjoy writing him. And I'm glad you liked the vampire/vampire love. :D

Thanks again!

I wish I could be more eloquent... I really like this series. It's like nothing I've read before. You're doing a fabulous job and even if BD Josses you thoroughly, I hope you continue with it!

[bratanimus]

Ugh, I hope BD does not Joss me. I will be very put out. Hence my writing my own version of how certain events should come to pass, lol. ;)

Thanks for your very kind words about my writing, and the story. I'm so pleased that you like it! :D

[shadow1905]

Oh... my.... intense and gorgeous, as always! And I'm ROTFL over the "walk of shame" comment :) Also over Emmett's comment earlier about Bella's guilt being like Edward. Emmett is hilarious! And Bella and Edward are oh... so... hot... Bravo!

[bratanimus]

Thank you very much! I'm tickled that you liked Emmett (and his comments) so much; he's a hoot to write. :D I'm pleased, too, that you enjoyed the post-hunt love scene; I had been wanting to write something like that for a while. Thanks for reading, and for your lovely feedback. :)
