That was probably the best story I've ever read. I will be saving this in my favorites to read over and over and over...

So good! So good! So marvelously, wonderfully good! Thank you for sharing this! It makes me happy every time I read it-not as happy as Carlisle, but happy enough.

Great story and happy for everybody.

awesome job

Wow! This was incredible! Uncomfortably explicit but so sexy too. You did an amazing job. I like the small mention of Alistair. I'm sure more good things to say will come to me after I've submitted this and the story has sunk in further, but for now I'll just say I enjoyed this - a lot!

Great story. I always love a good lemon (or two or three) but when they come with really well-developed characters and truly funny writing, it's a real treat!

Totally fantastic, I loved it!

Hi! Whatsmynom mentioned this on twitter and I had to come check it out. I rarely read slash - not because I'm opposed to it but because I have so much to read I rarely get to it. Either way - I'm sure glad I read this. It was lovely and the message really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing! xo ~DD

I usually don't read slash but I thought this was a great story. You totally deserved to win this contest.

This was truly a lovely and warm story - loved the struggle with Carlisle and his father's interpretation of religion. Loved the open, sensual, sexy Edward, so accepting of him. How his friends at the hospital are so happy and delighted when he finds someone to mack on in the bar! Love the joy in his work, I know how important that is when you work with cancer patients (it comes from the heart!) So, this is a gem - Thanks for that! ;)

loved it... love carlise and edward stories.

Loved it! So glad Carlisle realized his own happiness and stood up to his father. Loved the ending where his father asked him to lunch again. So totally hot too ;)

This was fabulous, beautiful, amazing, lovely, sweet, hot. Each person, was so well described, they all really stood out as three dimensional characters (whether lead or supporting.) I'd happily read stories that followed any of their lives. However my heart belongs to the leading men. You managed to avoid the cliches and capture a snapshot of lives at a turning point. My wish is that all couples, regardless of gender or orientation, could find this bliss. But, I guess this is why we have fic, to live vicariously. Reading this made a wonderful start to my day/week - thank you.

Wow. That was a wonderful story. Just the perfect mixture of humour, drama, hotness, cuteness... *sigh* Lovely job. Good luck with the contest.
