You finished this story 10 years ago - I found it just yesterday. What can I say? I am deeply moved! You describe Edward's pain, his anguish, desperation and self-loathing so intense, it gave me goosebumps. Then there comes Demetri and his love. It was so great to read about the changes love can do, to see how both develop a deeper bond, how Edward begins to see himself in a new way. Demetri loves very deeply. You describe him, his feelings and actions so detailed, so appreciative... It was for me like finding a treasure. Thank you as o much for this story, the love you poured into it - it is a rare jewel! You are a very sensitive and gifted writer!

Splendid story. I enjoyed it inmersely!

I absolutely loved this story (:

This was beautiful! I hope there are more e/d parings out there, cause they're amazing together!
Thank you for sharing! It was beautifully written and it was a captivating story, read it in less than a day! Couldn't stop ;P

I am in love with this story. It is a perfect departure from the second book. Thank you for giving life to all the Volturi characters that were previously so underutilized. Not only did I enjoy the story shoefreak37, I also found your colorful use of vocabulary delightful. Thanks for sharing.

And thank you for the image I now have stuck in my head due to the epilogue: “Vampire v.s. Shark” the crappy but highly entertaining made for T.V. scifi movie.

I wasn't sure about this one when I started, but I enjoyed it very much. It was so well written I though I was on the boat with them. Thanks for sharing!

Loved it.

Aw, that was so sweet.

I loved this story so much!

love this pairing...love demetri...pleaz write more

ok, so, I know its been a long time since u wrote this but I have a request for u that is if u are still writing at all. for some reason I have always loved the idea of Edward having an affair and ends up leaving Bella. I was wondering if maybe possibly u could write a story that takes place at the end of breaking dawn but Aro was interested in Edwards power more than Alices. Bellas shield doesn't work so Aro tells them that if they give up Edward they wont fight and since Edward doesn't want to see his family fight he agrees. Aro offers the rest of the Cullens to go with them but they don't have to actually work for them if they don't want to. they agree. Then Edward eventually falls for either Demitri or Caius (is that how u spell it?) either way I don't care I like both characters. I would write it myself but I don't have the patience or the writing skill that u obviously posses. Anyway I know u probably wont read this let alone actually make the story that was talking about but I am still keeping my fingers crossed. P.S. I asked u to write this because u are great at writing and u seem to plan the events in your stories perfectly:)

Wonderful story.

Wow, this was such a wonderful story. Not a pairing that would usually pique my interest, but having read some of your other stories, I gave it a try. So glad I did. Your writing continues to be original and entertaining. Thank you!

Hello! Well, I don't think I have enough words in my vast vocabulary to express how much I enjoyed reading your story. Yesterday, I was randomly looking for something that would be mildly interesting to read and thought: "Hey, let's see if there is something with Edward and Demetri together, it's something people seldom write about!". I was literally seduced from the first paragraph and it took all of my weekend to read the 15 chapters of this story, but not regrets! I really don't think I wasted my weekend with your story. On the contrary, I enjoyed it!
I don't know how much fanfictions I have been reading over the years (some thousands maybe), but I can safely say that yours was the best written and most entertaining I every got to read!
I think the moment I laughed the most was when Edward actually ASKS Demetri if he can rim his arse! (I mean, it is not something you usually ASK, you just do it. But I will put that on his absence of experience in anything sex).
I think the saddest moment for me in the story was when Edward is at the airport and tries to catch Demetri, thinking him gone to Athens (maybe I should put that on the music I was listening to while reading that part... "Hurt" by Christina Aguilera is a sad song. It was quite fitting with the story in a way!
I don't think I can say more about your story except that it really made my day (well my weekend, more accurately) and I will surely return to it someday when life gets boring
I wanted to post comments earlier on other chapters, but I told myself that a longer review once I read everything was a better alternative!

Loved it! This is the first Edward/Demetri story that I've read and I truly enjoyed it. You are very talented and I look forward to reading more of your writing. xo

Good grief you're good! so glad they worked things out although i must say Edward is an IDIOT. if he pulls one more stunt like that im taking Demetri for myself...
