Why this fic deserves to be pimped: I've loved this one for a LONG LONG time now. Everytime an update hits my inbox I drop everything to read it, or I save it as one of those special "I've completed the yucky work i had to do" presents to myself. I love LOVE Missa's writing, from the descriptions of what's going on not only between the characters but around them. To the emotional depth she brings to each character. I'm always left sighing, in a completely good way, at the end of every chapter. Reading this one, is almost like watching an old episode of a tv show that you loved when you were younger, something that feels.. home like. Like a bowl of soup on a cold winters day, or having your significant other wrap you in a warm embrace. Yes, I don't think its strange to refer to this one as like a giant HUG.

Sure there's moments of tears, there's moments of tragedy and breath holding. But the good, fun loving moments out weigh the small worries that each character has.

At the moment, we're only at Jasper and Edward exploring their relationship, but Missa has assured everyone it will become a EBJ by the end. And honestly, I'm not concerned. I've loved watching Jasper and Edward explore their relationship thus far. The way they've slowly started opening up to one another and gaining trust that can only come from really being honest with each other. The issues that may have once kept them seperated, are worked on to bring them and the others in their lives closer together.

Thats the other reason I really love this one. It's not just a slash story, its not just the romance between the characters. Its a story that is more about family and what family means in this day and age. Is it just the one's your born related to? Or is it the one's you know you can rely on, who are there to support you through any bump that life may put in your road? There really isn't such a thing as a side character. Sure the story focus is mainly on Edward and Jasper at the moment. But that doesn't mean the goings on in Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Bella or the parental units that are Esme and Carlisle aren't delved into either.

I really don't know what else I can say apart from give it a try.. here's a little sneak to whet your appetites...
