This was such an interesting piece to read, and so well done! I loved following the theme and getting those bits and pieces of Edward's life, however unpleasant they were for him.

[lost_spook]

Thank you! I'm glad it wasn't too confusing for you. And, yeah, although I think part of the thing for Edward is that most of these were probably worse for other people.

I just love how intricate the details of your plot are. I never feel like I'm reading something I've already read, because there's always so much going on!

I always feel so sad about how things had to end with Edward and Julia. I mean, I see exactly why they had to...but that seems to just make it even sadder.

Another lovely piece, though~

[lost_spook]

Aw, thank you. (And this is why they get all the AUs.)

[oonaseckar]

Oh, too sad. And Edward compromising himself professionally from the very beginning, for Julia, too, of course.

Worst of all that he's so tired that he welcomes the end. Lose the will to fight, and it's really all over.

Convincing and detailed and horribly sad.

Aw, thank you for reading! And, yep, I partly wrote this because I wasn't entirely sure that (most things around this particular event being Julia POV) that I had made it at all clear that whatever Edward's reasons, the main one is simply just him giving out under the strain of it.
