BellaTesoro chapter 28 . 4/27 I enjoyed this story. Thanks for sharing it! |
BellaTesoro chapter 18 . 4/27 I'm glad Edward isn't the father of Bella's baby. And since she's gotten positive proof that Sam is the father, Edward can't be so why is he getting tested? It's impossible for two DNA matches. |
BellaTesoro chapter 17 . 4/27 These two men are sweet and hot at the same time. Edward's first was well done. And it was good to get both their POV's during and after their love making. I think Carlisle's reaction to Edward's 'coming out and going out' was understandable. Esme's too. I mean for most of Edward's life they thought one way about him and knowing that in the public eye coming out as gay would be difficult but Carlisle as a dad was well done. |
BellaTesoro chapter 13 . 4/26 It's understandable that Edward would faint from the stress and not eating. I don't think Paul needed to make the phone call to Jacob. That should have come from Edward. |
BellaTesoro chapter 12 . 4/26 What's with Edward crying so much? Sure I so get he's distraught over his life but at every turn he cries. And it's not that he's a guy crying, I'd say the same if it were Bella crying instead of feeling the sadness and getting a grip and moving forward. So he kisses Paul, gets hard and Paul finds out his secrets. Edward was foolish to tell his secrets at this point to someone he doesn't even like at this point but whatever. Edward continues to make some real immature moves. I guess he's got some growing to do. |
BellaTesoro chapter 9 . 4/26 Lots of drama as I suspected about Bella being pregnant. And I suspect the person speaking about ...'I thought this baby was mine...' is Sam? Yup lots of drama |
BellaTesoro chapter 8 . 4/25 It was predictable that Bella would be suddenly pregnant. As if Edward doesn't have enough to worry about. |
BellaTesoro chapter 7 . 4/25 This leaving is a good thing. Edward has a lot to process. He needs to heal from his breakup, make peace with now falling for a man and then there's his work. A lot to deal with and I'd say he needs the space to sort it all out. Jacob's fantasy was very erotic. |
BellaTesoro chapter 6 . 4/25 Edward's 'voice' is so mousy and immature. I'm wondering what Jacob saw in him? What are the likable character traits that Edward had that attracted them to each other. I get Edward had a hero worshiping thing going on and he was young but what did Jacob see in the young Edward. Certainly now he's just a bundle of hurt and confusion and in need of some serious growing up. I guess I'm not connecting with Edward like I usually do. Hopefully he'll grow and develop from his lost love of Bella and his young crush of Jacob and finally find his real voice. |
BellaTesoro chapter 5 . 4/25 It sounds like Edward made the right choice to go hide out at Jacob's and deal with Bella and his parents. I'm sure now that the decisions have been dealt with he can move on. |
BellaTesoro chapter 4 . 4/25 I felt Edward's frustration, confusion and hurt as he made a rash decision, but felt he had to go through with it...here's what I don't like. He's still doing it, doing things that he'd rather not do but stays the course because he doesn't want to make waves...if he felt, after reading the script, that he didn't want to do the movie and didn't like the costar, he should have spoken up. So what does he do, another rash choice, understandably angered by the pap, he punches the guy out then has to go with his tail between...and tells mommy what he's done. This Edward needs to grow a pair. Here's another thing I question. Did he really love Bella and that's why he's hurt or is he hurt because, well it hurts to be cheated on period. So if he was in love with Bella, I get it all but how does that mix with being gay and all that...I mean if you are gay you are gay and I'm guessing then he's not gay but bi? We shall see. |
BellaTesoro chapter 3 . 4/25 Well even though Edward's parents have been controlling in the past and also with trying to get Bella and he back together, they did at least back off when Edward told them he needed space and that Bella had slept with Sam and that he was struggling with always being the yes man to them and wanted them to give him a voice in things, so what does he do...even though he said he didn't want to do anything in the mist of this and not make any rash choices, he does make a rash choice admitting he was doing it to showcase a new independence but he didn't even read the script and lied to Leah that he did. Sounds immature to me and very teen rebellious. I guess he's due that rebellion. |
BellaTesoro chapter 2 . 4/25 I don't usually like Jacob main story lines. I'm not a Jake fan. If I read slash it's with E/J or E/C but I'm giving this a go and keeping an open mind because it wasn't just the Jacob character I didn't particularly like, he just didn't do it for me. But this story is making him sound solid even though I can't help picture him like teen Jake. I'll use my imagination and age him well. As far as his needing or wanting to leave behind his acting because he felt his career would be ruined if he came out and out he came, well that sucks. Today being gay isn't usually a big deal and most are open to it. Sad he had to go hide but I'm liking he man-ed up and called Edward in a caring way. I take it something did happen between them those fives year prior. So Edward does know he likes men but also likes women? We shall see. |
BellaTesoro chapter 1 . 4/24 Edward really does need to grow a pair. He's a grown man in an industry that he knows uses people and yet he's clearly stated he knows he's just going along with the program because it's easier that way. I'm unclear if Edward at this point has ever felt attracted to other men, other than the brief detail about wanting to work with Jacob because he'd always looked up to him. So I hope this isn't going to be he was cheated on by a woman so he suddenly hates woman and falls for Jacob. I have gotten caught up in this story and look forward to see how Edward grows and develops as a character. |
CSG chapter 28 . 5/2/2019 I never thought I’d read & enjoy a E/j fic, but I read this & did. I run The Twilight Fan Fiction Finders, & made this story the story of the week for this week. Congratulations! |
