Okay, the theme really was disturbing. The mere thought of Aro watching each and every move is pretty creepy. But anyway, that was very emotional and family-bonding-esque, very good! Although I have to say that I like your other stories more; this one wasn't as well written.

it was funny in the beginning but then I understand the warning you gave and I agree it IS a VERY disturbing topic to cover and the way you wrote this, which was excellent by the way, reminded me of another fanfic with a similar topic as this, but Edward ends up running away and indecisive on whether to take up Aro's offer. I knew that maybe that's where this was going but I was wrong. I find it creepy that authors would write almost the same story except, without plagiarizing, of course, is remarkable that I'd pick up this weird sense of...not deja vu, but maybe something similar in nature to understand somewhat of where you took the story before I even got to the point in the story that would ultimately prove what I was feeling was indeed somewhat correct in my assessment.

I've read this more then once and the sensitivity and emotion of this story blows me away.

That was awesome! All those feelings! What a bastard Aro is! To leave that impression in someone is so horrid! Only Carlisle could fix it and he did! Good work!

This was heartbreaking. Really. I was close to tears by the time I finished reading this story.

I was slightly nervous reading this story, because of the warning. I did feel slightly disturbed, but the sweet father-son moments and awesome climax made up for it.

There are a few errors, though. Vampires don't have tears. They don't cry like humans do. And also, for some reason, it really annoyed me the way you wrote 'doin'' instead of 'doing' and so on. Was it really necessary? Jasper doesn't talk like that in the books. But that's my personal opinion.

I do love this story. I never really imagined that Aro would mind rape Edward, and I like the sweet ending. There were a lot of moments that were really cute.

That was REALLY GOOD. It had never crossed my mind to think of Edward as having been, essentially, mind-raped, but that could be easily what happened.

That was intense and tearful. It was so understandable though from Aro leaving his arm around Edward for so long at that confrontation. Good resolution with Carlisle getting Edward to talk it out. Rosalie would be the one to best understand the violation Edward felt, nice reunion there. Good idea for Jasper to go out with Carlisle and let Alice breakdown. Very good last line.

I...am speechless. Oh, wow. This is wonderful. Your words just flow together so elegantly, and you have such keen insight on psychological torment like Edward's. I know it's not really the same thing, but as someone who suffers from a myriad of mental disorders like anxiety and OCD, you've hit the nail on the head (forgive the cliche, lol). I've seen a loved one break down like that, I've broken down myself, and it is so scary for everyone close or involved. You've illustrated that point so accurately. I can see Edward doing something like this, too, what with Breaking Dawn and turning into the "burning man"...not enough authors expand on how fragile his mind can really be, in the right circumstances.

I loved that it was told from Alice's point of view. It allowed a unique perspective that pieced together the story in a coherent and intriguing way—and of course I love Alice. She cares so much for her brother and for all her family, it's a little bit heartbreaking.

I'm sorry for rambling :x Anyway, great fic—IMO one of the best I've seen in a long while. I look forward to more of your work. :)

Great idea, and loved the family moments!
I think it was a little over 'told' though - every action is explained, where I think it would be more effective, at least in some cases, to let the actions and dialogue speak for itself.
Nevertheless, it was beautiful! :')

Alice was so afraid of what she was seeing with Edward. Bella did not understand what was happening with Edward. The final straw with Emmett and Edward broke. The only one to help was Carlisle. It took Carlisle understanding what Aro had done to Edward and Edward's fear of what could happen for Carlisle to put everything into prespective so that Edward and Carlisle were able to sort through everything that had happened. Alice could see some things but after everyone had left and it was just her and Edward the healing for both was taking place. The only way was for Edward and Alice to talk about things. The healing was just as great for Jasper with Carlisle. What a story of what happened after the Volturi left and what problems needed to be resolved. Thank you!

Wow. That made me cry. The power and emotion was strong and vivid. I felt it all. brilliant job, and a very likely possibility, too.

This was fantastic, so emotional and sad. You did an awesome job with alice.
