I read this whole saga, curious at the novel idea of Jade/Freddie, and while I honestly hope you come back to it one day and develop this universe more, I have strongly mixed feelings about it.

The good: I love how you've rewrote so many episodes; Crazy Ponnie, One Thousand Berry Balls, and The Slap Fight; in particular, and brought a strong sense of realism into the story while still keeping it somewhat wacky and escapist. The consistent characterization was most welcome as was the fact that past events were actually acknowledged. How they matured as adults in this story was very mature and very neatly in line with what the previous stories established and it was quite enjoyable to see them develop their ambitions.

The bad: Freddie can't take even a single joke and overreacts to anything. I understand why he's so defensive, and why he felt the need to be so hyper-vigilant in his life but overtime he started to feel like a different person altogether, and not in the sense of character development. And, again I understand why he's doing it, his constant support of Jade. Sure she's his girlfriend but there were times where it seemed that he did exactly what he accused Carly of doing with regards to Sam. Blind support no matter what. Admittedly Jade is not as bad as Sam, and Freddie wanted to go at Jade's pace, but there were moments where it honestly seemed that Beck was right to treat Jade as a child.

Dusty and Ava. Dusty, as I believe he said in this story, is largely a sanctimonious asshole. Sure he dishes out some hard truths and tough love, but most of the time, it seems like he wants people to hate him and is looking for an excuse to fight. Ava, nice girl as she is, is frankly just boring. She's every complaint that the Bade shippers used for why Tori shouldn't be the star of the show. Full credit to you for crafting these OCs into more than one-dimensional cut-outs but I frankly don't think the story needed them nor did it benefit from having them.

And just a minor nitpick, but Tori not getting that she looks like Shelby Marx. As a one time gag, it was funny, but to do it over and over again just feels stupid. Especially since Freddie hasn't commented, at least I can't recall if he did, that Andre looks exactly like Harper or about the Trina clone at Nora's party.

Again, loved the journey, food for thought, hope to see you again, though on TF/BSG first, and kudos for, somehow, making Jade/Freddie work. Even if this saga made Tori/Freddie seem like a better relationship, and the fact that I'll forever laugh at the idea of Jade dating anyone but Tori or Robbie and Freddie dating anyone but Carly.

I am a big fan of your writing especially the jade/freddie pair which has became my favourite after reading your are certain things that i love are the interactions between the couple,Freddie is portrayed beautifully in your stories which is super different and fantastic than he is portrayed in the show.I wont lie that i was a seddie fan before i read our work but slowly your work changed my view and the pairing that i love now is of jade/freddie or jeddie as everyone puts be honest your work is really good and is awe inspiring but i would like to point out some things which lack a bit.I beg your pardon but after jade likes nice guys both of your stories have shown less intimacy between the main characters it is romantic story and more affection between these two just like the first two parts would reflect their chemistry more in your stories and please post more stories of jeddie i would appreciate if you would take my suggestion although other than that i would say that your stories are perfectly written and your creativity is stories are usually difficult because it is like starting from scratch but you make it seem effortless which is last i would like to say a big thankx to you for sharing such beautiful stories and i am eager to see you continue with the jeddie stories as you are a really good writer.

First of all i would like to say that i really like your style of writing it is a unique blend of

Prudence and Leonard? That's such a funny combination, it could be Prudenard...

Definitely seems like Dusty doesn't want to make any amends with anyone. Heather must be feeling it.

Ruh Roh...

Damn traffic light malfunction! Hope Heather gets through to Dusty and the little girl survives.

Hey! Long time no see. Love the new chapter. Can't wait for dusty to come back. And I get that he has a lot going on and needs time to think and figure it all out, but why does he always disappear after something happens.

It might not be incredibly easy, and it wouldn't happen right away, but Ian being with Freddie and Jade probably isn't as hard as Mrs. West (the original one) makes it sound. There is the matter of how close they are, in spite of any attempt to interrupt that. And I think some guy alluded to Ian eventually running into the same issues that Jade did when he gets older.

Beck is right about the simple fact that Dusty is a killer, but he keeps forgetting or doesn't wanna acknowledge who he killed and why. And while he isn't somebody to cross, Dusty isn't simply a "kill first, talk about it later" kind of guy either. Beck should understand that just by the fact that he's still around to complain about him.

This chapter was very good. The drama is really starting. I can't wait to see how Roy reacts to Jade wanting to take custody of Ian. I am looking forward to the next chapter.

Go Jade! I love that she is becoming more herself.
She knows Ian is someone worth to fight for and she really needs too.
Personally I don't think Ian's Mom will let him back in her life if she does nothing and that would break her...
Thanks for the update (: I'm going to read the Dark Dame now :D

Uh yeah, they seem to forget that Ian is the son of the second Mrs. West, so even if the situation does not please them, they do not have much to do.
If the situation is reversed, I wonder how Jade will feel with a young woman who seems to take her place as a mother in her son's life?

Hey,

I saw you were updating a Dark Dame again and I love it!
But I also wonder if you are planning to update this story?
