i love the fun of this. i’m really loving this edward also.

Great story! Very interesting

Really good and a very unique idea. I loved it.

I don't care how old this story is, I just want to say how much I liked it, even if it's about seven and a half years late.

I didn't understand this one. Thank you for sharing your imagination with us here. Enjoyed the journey. ~Christy

Loved this ending! I really liked that they went not just the eight months but, a year and a half before marrying and completing the mating sexually. Yay for them! I adored that you brought his parents into the fold of knowing what they are and that Edward would be one of them. Not keen on the keeping of the sperm to have a child later. That's just my personal choice of living the childfree lifestyle, that my hubs and I chose, speaking. Really liked how you had Esme find The List on the internet and present it to Bella and Edward as a way of coping through the last few months. I read that story years and years ago and it is one of my favorites. Great way to tie it in here. I'm glad his acclimation period was only a year and that he was able to see his parents again, as well as other regular strangers on the street. Very much enjoyed this, thank you.

Yuck.

That was cute.

That made a great deal of sense about Edward wanting to wait to be changed, as he had no desire to remain a teen for the rest of eternity. I like that together, they figured out the best way to make these eight months work. Alice's idea to being in the heated mattress pad and blanket, will help them as well. I like that they are transferring Bella's schedule around to accommodate them being together. I even liked that keeping the one class with Jasper. Jasper will feel drained everyday after that class, I'm sure. At least the whole family understands what these two are sacrificing to be together. Love that Edward has this powerful strength to put himself in that meadow, even as a human. Even bringing others in with him. It's fascinating.

I love everything in this, except that they are in pain from not being able to finish their mating fully. I wish you'd have made it that they could fully mate, yet not have to have the two to three crazy mating years. That way, Bella and he could complete their bond and no longer be in pain . . . and . . . she could give him everything she wants for him. Graduation, his family for longer and his higher education. Then change him for the rest of their forever. Your way, in order for her to give him what she wants, they have to remain in pain. That makes me sad for them.

I really like their connection. The way you write it, it is magnificent. They're playful and lustful. A fantastic combination. I'm glad they know they can have some relief of the pull thy feel. That even though they are not having full sex, they can still get relief of that pull by doing other things.

I am loving this alternate universe you've created. I love that it is smell that attracts them to one another. That the bond it nearly complete, just from physical contact. Yes, they got one more step, or two. However, the bond is pretty damn strong without the final step(s). I adore that the mated couple can hear one another. That Edward can hear Bella already, and he isn't even changed yet. I wonder if he'll have the mind reading ability throughout time, once he is changed? It sure seems as though that will be the case, since Alice and Jasper share theirs. It was so good that she was able to show him what she is and tell their story through her mind opened to him. His full acceptance of it, right then, was wonderful. Really loving this.

She prefers repeating college over high school. Have to say I'd agree with that. Who would want to willingly repeat high school? Maybe someone that has all their glory day there and it went downhill after. I loved high school although, I wouldn't want to go back there. I'm glad the scent seemed just as potent to her. Maybe even a little more so.

This one popped to the top of my TBR list today. I'm really enjoying the twist you've got on this so far. Looking forward to the journey.

I READ IT THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT FUNNY EVEN
