Bwahahaha! TANYA AND JACOB. Dude I loved Elisa in this. She wins me over and over... Fav: "Why don't you go find someone else to stalk, dog boy?" I fired back. I knew my mouth was running away with me again, but I couldn't seem to help it. "Like, I don't know, let's say...someone who is not getting married today?" That girl is a FORCE to be reckoned with
Author's Response: Ahahaha thank you. I had the best time writing the Elisa/Jacob scenes and although Elisa can't stand her, I really enjoyed Tanya too. She's an interesting character to write.

I love this story. Actually, it is good that I have finished reading it today so I can finally get my head in the game and go study for my test! The last three nights, I have done nothing but read this story and the previous one. I love the character Elisa! I keep laughing outloud and my husband (who loves Twilight BTW) looks at me like I am psycho! There have been so many great scenes. I could totally picture every scene in great detail, like a movie. Your writing is wonderful. Also, I am waiting on pins and needles for Elisa to tell the others about the cross falling and the reversal of time (or whatever that was)! Does she have a gift? Can she protect herself or the other Cullen's? That would be freaking awesome. She is going to need something to protect her soon, right? I have a question, too. When she dreamed that she killed Edward...does he know she has drempt that or had she successfully hid it from him so far? I just noticed it has been since September since you posted "The Clash"? Do you intend to finish the story? I have to know what happens!! Sorry so long but I wanted to let you know how much I love this story! Luckybella
Author's Response: Thank you SO much for such a great review! Elisa's 'secret' is definitely going to be an issue in the next few chapters. Her denial will make it a bit of a non-issue for a while, but it will certainly come up again. Life has been a little too calm for Elisa and the Cullens lately - things will get dire pretty quick. I'm really looking forward to that - I'm such a mean writer. My poor characters... :D Edward and the others know about Elisa's first foray into their world, where she accidentally stopped Alice and Bella getting to Italy in time. She told them about it in Extraordinary when she met the Cullen brothers in the forest, (they didn't believe her then, of course) but none of them have any memory of it so they don't think about it much. Elisa alone carries that burden. I will definitely continue Evening Falls...stresses on the homefront have been very distracting but I am absolutely committed to this story. I am working on the next chapter now and hope it's up soon. Thanks again very much for reading and reviewing!

oh sweet mother. why?! if i was having to wait for the resolution...i would be spamming you. but i guess that's why this is so great. it makes me NEED more.
Author's Response: I know; I tend to drag things out like crazy. I never mean to but I always have so much in my head. You wouldn't believe the amount of stuff I cut, either. Thanks again so much for your reviews! I love all reviews but getting them from someone whose writing I really admire is always a special thing.

I cannot tell you how much I loved Elisa in this chap. First gettin annoyed at Bella, granted it was silent...but what the hale? Bella can be a bit, um, self centered? And it's just lovely to see her grow..now for Jacob. Bring on the angst!
Author's Response: Teehee....yes, Bella can be such a brat. She was actually far less of a troll in BD about the wedding than I thought she was going to be, but the girl does tend to whine, and generally about stuff other people would be grateful for, like birthday parties and makeovers. Hard life, Bella. Hard frickin' life.
Reviewer: smellyia (Signed) · Date: October 28, 2008 05:27 PM · On: Dreaming: Edward
Oh lordy lord. Edward just kills me in this. He is the reason for my absolute heart failure. Which is a good thing. I swear...if I'm all aghast and angst ridden over the wedding and all that to the point of not being able to concentrate on my own fics...I will be pointing IN YOUR VICINITY.
Author's Response: I love you for reviewing so much! THANK YOU! You really brightened a fairly blah week. But....but...no Disaffected? *cries* Which I need to catch up with myself...
Reviewer: smellyia (Signed) · Date: October 28, 2008 01:52 PM · On: Dreaming: Elisa
As always, I am behind and playing catchup! Seriously, the best thing ever. Elisa singing Like A Virgin to Edward. I peed. AND CHOKED ON MY DIET COKE. Now the song is playing on my itunes...and yes, it is as bad as Edward percieves it to be.
Author's Response: How well I know what it's like to be behind...I'm behind on everything. Thank you so much for your comments...you totally made my day. That chapter was fun to write - I always enjoy Elisa/Edward interactions because they are such polar opposites.
Reviewer: starshinedown (Signed) · Date: October 21, 2008 11:57 AM · On: Clash
This has been a lot of fun to read! I'm finally caught up, and I, too, am delighted that Elisa found a boy to crush on that hasn't already been marked by Bella. :)
I'm craaaazy curious about her ability and Jasper's attitude toward her--what does he see?--and about how she'll continue to cope with her bizarro life.
As an aside...I was not so thrilled with the concept of Nessie as a character, so I'm glad you haven't gone the baby route with B&E. Thanks, man!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to read through the entire story! There will definitely be a lot more developments with Jasper and life in general still has a lot of curveballs to throw Elisa's way. I'm looking forward to writing it. Oh man, don't get me started on BD. I didn't enjoy the Nessie storyline either....if Bella and Edward had to be parents I wish it could have been handled with more realism. I've written a little Nessie in my Leah fanfic but I had to come up with my own concept of her as a character because I just can't write this superbaby that is so incredibly perfect and advanced in every way that she's no fun to try to relate to as a character at all.

Hello!! Sorry I haven't reviewed this chapter yet but better late than never. Great chaper as usual. Dead-on with the humor (Tanya's snarky comments to Eliza when she answered the phone, Eliza's anger towards Jasper's brooding, the interjection of a Harry Potter character turned adjective, I could go on and on...). I love how your humor isn't forced, btw. :) Anyway, nice introduction of another intriguing, likeable OC. It'll be interesting to see how Jimmy's involvement in Eliza's life plays out. So...when are you going to update???? I want my Eliza fix! She's really my favorite OC in all the stories I've read so far.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! This chapter was so much fun to write and I'm so glad you enjoyed. I want to get the next chapter out so badly and I'm so behind. My computer got a crippling virus but it's back now and working fine so I really hope to get something wfinished and out soon.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'm so sad all the pre-published before I found it stuff is over! Now I have to wait for updates! Argh!
Author's Response: Thanks again so much for all of your reviews. I really have to get moving on the next chapter too.
Reviewer: Gravity (Signed) · Date: October 10, 2008 06:04 PM · On: Miles To Go
Wow. I must say, I never really imagined Jasper being that awful. That makes me kind of sad; I'm currently writing a fic that he's kind of the hero in and my head is filled with "yay Jasper" thoughts. And if you've never gotten a migraine, that is an EXTREMELY accurate description. Ugh. Though I am interested to see what it actually was...
Author's Response: I don't think of Jasper as awful, but I can see how he comes off that way. I've gotten so many responses (not so much here but on FFN) saying what a jerk Jasper is to Elisa and through her eyes, he definitely is. But he does have good reason to be concerned, with all they are risking, and he has a point in believing that Elisa is too reckless. The relationship between the two of them is definitely going to continue to evolve. And in the chapter I haven't released yet, that I'm working on now, I get to write a POV from Edward that will show more of what's going on behind the scenes. Thanks so much for all of your reviews. I know it takes time and I very much appreciate it.

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Teehee, thank you! I was so, so nervous about writing this chapter and trying to straddle that line between fading to black and NC 17... It went over well, and I'm so happy about it.
Reviewer: Gravity (Signed) · Date: October 10, 2008 04:50 PM · On: Bittersweet Symphony
This chapter made me smile. Not the depressing Jacob stuff, but pretty much everything else.
Author's Response: I know...I'm pretty hard on poor Jake. But I wanted to show that he truly loved Bella, enough that he would sacrifice his own happiness for her. Of course, he's way too stubborn about the not moving on part. I'm glad you liked the rest of it; I really loved writing Jake and Elisa and the wedding too.
Reviewer: Gravity (Signed) · Date: October 09, 2008 07:20 PM · On: Dare You To Move
Holy crap. Talk about suckish timing. Could Jacob have planned that closer to the ACTUAL TIME SHE WALKS DOWN THE AISLE? Wow. Lol. You actually had me sitting at my desk with my mouth hanging open. :D.
Author's Response: Haha, yeah, Jake was running a bit late there. In my mind what happened was, he decided on the run back to La Push that he had to go back, but it took him a little time to convince Sam to not order him to stay away, plus borrow some nice clothes and have Emily trim his hair. And then he ran back just in time to see the band playing The Wedding March with...no bride coming down the aisle. So he took a peek to see what was going on and you know what happened from there. Oh, for the last chapter you reviewed for some reason I thought it was the chapter where Bella was freaking out and now I realize you were talking about Tanya. Teehee...bitch indeed although I like her in this story. She's not exactly nice like she was in Breaking Dawn but she's got layers. Elisa's attitude towards her isn't going to change any time soon though. Sorry for these long review replies. I tend to ramble. Thanks again for all your reviews - I definitely look forward to them.
Reviewer: Gravity (Signed) · Date: October 09, 2008 09:09 AM · On: Wedding Daze
Wow. Bitch. I must say, you take a much more negative stance when it comes to some of the reactions set up by Eclipse. They make sense, of course, but it's interesting to see how different they are from what actually happens. Definately cool.
Author's Response: Yeah most of this was me guessing what would happen in Breaking Dawn...a few things I had right, most of it wrong. I'd still write it the same way though, even knowing what I do now. I love Bella but sometimes she does get whiny and resistant to things - to me, she was just falling apart because of the stress. Nobody's perfect, I guess. Thank you SO much for continuing to read and review!
Reviewer: Gravity (Signed) · Date: October 09, 2008 08:48 AM · On: Unexpected
Wow. I like the scene with Jacob, but I have to admit, I was kind of hoping he might imprint on Elisa...oh well. It was a really good scene either way.
Author's Response: Haha, I wrestled with that so much. I've had this whole (long) story plotted out from the time of Extraordinary but there were times that I really wanted to change stuff. I loved the idea of Elisa and Jacob together but it just didn't feel right. One, she's fifteen and he's sixteen - it's odd for me to think of someone finding their soulmate and that level of commitment so young. The other was, if Jacob imprinted it gave him a pass on what he's going through with losing Bella and I very much wanted to explore that.
Reviewer: Gravity (Signed) · Date: October 08, 2008 03:39 PM · On: Dreaming: Bella
That was...odd. Very very odd. But I like the rising action.
Author's Response: :D I can't help it; I love the foreshadowing and the red herrings. Plus, for me, dreams are interesting tools to work with. Thank you so much for continuing to read and review!
Reviewer: Gravity (Signed) · Date: October 08, 2008 03:01 PM · On: Forever
Wow. PIVOTAL! Cool chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Forever is one of my favorite chapters...I really wanted Edward to make that commitment to keeping Bella around for eternity, but first for Bella to acknowledge what a real and painful struggle that is for him.

Ha. I'm kind of glad you're putting Rosalie in a pretty positive light. It's pretty cool that Elisa relates to her. There isn't really anyone in the books who does that until BD...
Author's Response: Thank you! Rosalie has always been one of my favorites, so it's a lot of fun to write her and how she interacts with Elisa.
Reviewer: LiveForTheMoment (Signed) · Date: October 06, 2008 09:51 AM · On: Dare You To Move
OMG that goodbye bit nearly made me cry!!! This story is great I have truely fell in love with Elisa. At first I was a bit hesitant on readng this story because I didn't... how to put it... I didn't like the idea much but now I'm kicking myself for not reading it earlier, I really am! please please a thousand pleases update soon!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed this chapter and Bella's internal goodbye speech...I really wanted to address all that she is leaving behind. I can definitely understand the hesitation; I love original characters but they're tricky to work into a Twilight story. Many stories I read with OCs seem to have them taking over and becoming the central point of everyone's lives and I really didn't want to do that with Elisa. I am so glad that you like her. Thank you so much for taking the time to review!

Hello, For some time now, I have been trying to figure out a way of reviewing this fic without having to register with Twilighted. As you can see, I failed. I read Extraordinary a month or so ago and have been following Evening Falls since, and I've registered with Twilighted for the sole reason of reviewing them, because they really are that great. I may not have written much, but I've read a lot of fanfic, and I can see it takes a certain talent to remain in character, to build up characters and to be believable. Elisa could so easily be a Mary Sue, but you've treated her with a remarkable amount of restraint, and as a result, she is vivid, exciting, entertaining and at the same time, amazingly realistic. The way she speaks, the way she thinks, the way she acts, it all makes sense and best of all, it's all very funny and incredibly readable. She is possibly my favourite all time fanfic character. On top of that, I think you've built upon all the main characters wonderfully - they all have depth, they are all flaws and they are all in character, but even more interesting, than they were in Twilight. The plot is completely absorbing and very fun and you've taken Stephanie's world and transformed it into something more, something more vivid and rich and fun and exciting. Sorry, I will have to cut this review short as I am pushed for time, but just thought I'd you have a fantastic style and this is an amazingly gripping and enjoyable read. This story deserves a lot more appreciation; keep up the good work and I look forward to the next chapter! K xxx
Author's Response: Thank you so much - that was definitely one of the nicest reviews I've ever gotten. I am so, so happy to hear that you enjoy Elisa. I have so much fun writing her and her story and to hear that she is realistic in the middle of a very fantastic tale is one of the best comments ever. I really love writing this story and delving into all the characters that we didn't get to see as much of in Twilight and there will be a lot more to come. Again, thank you so much. You truly made my day! :)

Author's Response: :D I know what you mean. I want to just sit and write all day too but life always seems to have other plans... Thanks again for reading!

Woooooow...that was seriously intense. I totally didn't see that coming...wow. Will we ever get to find out if Nancy was okay?
Author's Response: Thanks so much! These chapters, given what happened to Elisa, were definitely difficult to write. I'm glad I was able to surprise you. At some point, I actually do plan to write an interlude chapter from Elisa's father's POV so yes, you will get to find out what happened to Nancy.
Reviewer: Gravity (Signed) · Date: September 30, 2008 03:20 PM · On: Just a Girl
Wow...Charlie and Renee=waaaaaaay different. I do like the way you're changing other things up in an AU fic. I've read other stuff (not Twilight, mostly HP), where people just leave stuff the same and end up retelling the book with a few minor differences. Good use of artistic license!
Author's Response: Thank you! I actually wrote quite a bit of this before Breaking Dawn was out, so it was my guess on how it was going to be. Clearly, I got quite a bit wrong. =P I had originally hoped to finish this before BD was out, but...well, you've already seen the amount I write. I've still got quite a bit to go too. I'm keeping everything the way I planned from the beginning and trying not to let BD influence it, although some things will be similar just because some twists in the plot were easy to predict, given hints and implications from earlier books. Anyway thanks again SO much for continuing to read and review.

Hey. I discovered your stories yesterday and have just finished reading my way through both Extraordinary and Evening Falls and I have to say I adore them both! Elisa is so much fun! I was a little hesitant to start reading them because of he potential for obsessive fangirl/mary-sue-ish storylines but you totally proved me wrong. The idea motivating the story is fascinating, and I love the way you take our expectations (especially with regards to Edward) and give us a new take on everything. Who knew Edward could be so smug and annoying? Or Rosalie so attached to a human? But at the same time they absolutely ring true to their portrayal in the books. Can't wait for the next chapter because I get the feeling that this was definitely the calm before the storm what with all the ominous nightmares, not to mention Elisa's 'incident' with the cross but while I can be a bit of an angst-wuss I'm trusting you to make it all right in the end... Can't wait for the next chapter! Thanks for sharing this with us :)
Author's Response: I am so happy to hear that you like my stories. I understand the hesitation too; I think some probably read the description for this fic and are like 'wtf? crackfic in the wrong category!' :D I live in terror of Mary Sueness; I try hard to make Elisa normal and relatable. I wanted her to be part of the Cullens' and especially Bella and Edward's story but not take it over. It makes my day completely to hear that her story rings a bit true to this universe that we all fell in love with. You are so right that these last few chapters have been the calm before the storm; things are about to get a little dire... Thanks again so much for taking the time to read and review.
