I was a competitive skater with a stage mom and had a hard time getting through this story because Renee was so triggering. But the Cullens were great in this story, and props to you for doing your skating research!

I have reread your story multiple times now & each time I fall more in love with this story. Another outtake that would be cool to read would be when Edward has his turn at the Olympics. Either from EPOV or BPOV.

Re-reading this fic because it is one of my faves, but it's just so frustrating to see Bella's feelings about Renee haha. Everytime I re-read this fic I get irritated all over again over this because I feel like Renee got away with soo much in this fic, she basically had zero repercussions for her actions because she's still Bella's 'mother'. I think that's such a toxic way of looking at it in a way, because its almost implying that because somebody is your flesh and blood, when they do you wrong you eventually have to forgive themwelcome them back into your lives? Like you have no right to permanently cut those people off, even if youre better of without them and Bella definitely is. Renee contir uted nothing but making Bella feel worthless and insecure, she essentially worked her daughter into burnout (regardless of how much Bella loves skating) and STOLE from her, and amongst all of that she never ONCE showed remorse ornregret rhat we readers got to see. We didnt get to see Renee's redemption arc we just read a few lines about it in the epilogue, which after buliding her up as the story's villian essentially, just wasn't enough for me because by the end, I felt nothing but negative feelings towards Renee and this forgiveness plot wasn'ta satisfying ending for me. And, of course Bella isn't going to press chargres because it's her mother *major eye roll*. I think had I read these chapters and then Bella at the end had forgiven Renee (at most because honestly she barely deserved that, there was zero remorse that we as readers got to see), then fair enough, but I've read this story multiple times, and I know Bella not only forgives Renee but allows her to play a part in her life and be a part of her children's lives? That's the part that just throws me, that she's not hesitant at all about letting Renee play grandma to her kids, after all Bella had to face mentally and emotionally because of Renee's treatment towards her. I don't know, it's just frustrating to read, because I think we have two veryyy different viewpoints on this topic and so I can't relate to it at all lol., and sadly as much as I do love this fic, it does kinda ruin the ending fir me a little. I find myself skimming over any mention of Renee and the part she plays in their future, whenever I reread this story and finish the epilogue x

Loooooooved this Edward! OMG he's dreamy. I was a bit disappointed with Bella in the early days but glad she had the courage to break free and that she and Edward remained perfect throughout. I know this was written many years ago, but thank you for your contribution to the fandom. Your writing is beautiful.

I really loved this fic, it's so well written! My only criticism would be that I really didn't like the whole Bella made up with Renee part at the end. I don't know, maybe it's because we didn't get to see any of the character development for Renee in the story overall, but it just felt forced and out of place. I can understand wanting to tie up some loose ends regarding any plotholes with Renee/Bella's relationship, but I felt like that could have been done with a brief mention of Bella having forgiven Renee without inserting her in their future inthe Epilogue. It just felt kind of redundant and off to have spent all the story building Renee's character as dislikeable and controlling, to then basically saying oh well she reflected and she's sorry and therefore she's now a part of their life, in the epilogue. From a readers POV it really threw me off and kind of spoilt the ending for me? Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I honestly really loved the story otherwise! I loved the connection between BellaEdward, the way it was written made their relationship seem so organic and I also really enjoyed seeing Bella coming into herself and learning her worth! I think that's also partly why I have such a dislike for the whole Renee ending lol, because I know it took a lot for Bella to feel worth somethingRenee played a prominent role in that (without any remorse for basically the whole story, it jidt didn't feel like it tied in with the image you had built in my opinion). Great fic otherwise!
