Oh goodness. I'm afraid it won't live up to expectations. It's really just a drabble.

Yay!

[sirenprincess]

Thanks.

Very good! Wow, I am so into your Jasper, please more more more!! I love it! *hugs*

[sirenprincess]

It makes me so happy to hear that you like my Jasper. But it's all Jasper. I'm just writing him down for you. He's still whispering lots of ideas in my head, so there will be lots more stories to come. Thanks for commenting.

[edwardsvamplove]

Well you are doing an awesome job! And no problem!

This was awesome. I love what your mind does with a few simple directions (or if it was directions at all, I'm not sure). It's genius. Love it. And poor Jazz for immediately putting the blame on himself because Alice saw what she saw. He can't help the visions, she can't help the visions but there they are and it's so sweet of him to take on the blame - no matter how faulty that is.

"I just can’t stand to see a girl cry," I muttered. -- Aww... Like Alice, I totally melted right there. And to me, this is one of the lines that just get to me. For me, this line right here is Jasper's personality simplified. His southern upbringing shines through. Aw! In my head Jasper's got this southern accent when he says that, nearly tacking on a "ma'am" at the end. lol Love it.

You sure helped me with my curiosity about this. So thank you. :) It's always a joy to read your stuff, honey.

The story was definitely written from your directions, just for you. I would have made Alice a bit softer if it was just my ideas, but I went with your thoughts. I combined your ideas into something I could see, and then there's your story, dear.

I LOVE poor Jazz. That's what makes a story enjoyable to me. Any moment where I go "Aww, poor Jazz," that's the good stuff. And, of course he would blame himself. He can't stand for Alice to ever be unhappy. He'll always blame himself if she's upset. That's just Jasper. He's used to being at fault and taking blame.

"I just can't stand to see a girl cry" was one of my favorite lines, too, especially combined with him ducking his head, ashamed of himself. Too cute!

I'm glad you liked what I wrote for you. Feel free to prompt me anytime.

[han_corrupted]

*giggle* Oh wow, doesn't that make me all special? lol I certainly feel special now. Thank you. :)

And now that I know I can prompt you into writing so good I'm sure gonna try to find questions you can spin on and like little ideas that pop into my head you'll be the first to know about! :D

[sirenprincess]

You are special! I really enjoy readers that leave comments that make me think. I look forward to your comments and ideas on further stories. You never know what you might inspire.

!!! with the lump in the throat and wails. THIS WAS SO SWEET AND WONDERFUL AND I TOO SQUEED IN MY OFFICE CHAIR. I'll comment with a novella blurb about it when I get home later but jklasg;kj;lj <333.

[sirenprincess]

Lump in the throat and wailing is good? I hope? I'm glad I made you squee, though. That makes me happy. If I can make people squee with a drabble, I can't wait to see the reactions I get when I actually get to some of the better fics I'm planning. I look forward to seeing your novella blurb. I can't have a post without us analyzing every detail. I would miss that too much! You really make me focus on my character representation when I write.

[inyourfrequency]

Of course it's good! It was the omg this is so sweet and sad/cute lump and the SIGH JAZZ wail.

The very first thing that gave me the "awws" was when he didn't question anymore how she knew where to find him. I don't know why. That is just such a cute thought!

I can imagine the look on Jasper's face when he realizes Alice saw visions of the future where he killed Bella, and how awful and heart wrenching that look must be. I can imagine the thought of Alice being subjected to that would definitely spin him into depressed Jasper hell, only he doesn't need the actual hell part because he has his own head and that's way worse. I think you've nailed something we've talked about already, actually. That maybe Alice treats him so gently because he doesn't know the extent of his control. What I mean is, he goes into everything with good intentions, and while he knows he has to be very careful because anything could fluctuate and make him snap, only Alice really knows the fine line he's walking and the others just kind of follow along

[sirenprincess]

Thanks for writing that all out. You hit on my favorite parts, too, of course. Talking to you about it is as fun as writing or reading it.

As for the visions, you're right. Was it a real possibility? Was it only the slimmest chance of it happening that was making it flash through Alice's head? Was it only a possibility until Bella decided to trust Jasper, but Jasper knew Bella would because Bella knows she can trust Jasper, so their own faith in each other makes it never a true possibility? It's fun to play with.

And as for the poor Jazz wail, that is the point of the stories, isn't it? Perhaps we should all give him a hug. He agrees to let us, as long as Alice can be there, too.

Thanks again for the review. More stories to come soon.
