I truly believe that this story helped change my life. Jasper’s Izzy is an amazing person and an awesome writer. I say this not just as a good friend of hers and an original beta of the story. Without this story you would not be sitting at your electronic device reading a Darlins post. You truly wouldn’t be reading anything from “The Darlins” nor would the darlins even exist. My reading this story and becoming the beta for it set in motion a crazy chain of events and that is why this story is near and dear to my heart. That is the reason I have decided to use this story as my final post for a while. As of today, I will be going on Maternity leave. I’ll still be around just not as much.
I found this story a long ass time ago and before I even knew who Jaspers Izzy was the story stayed with me. I started beta’ing it when it was only 6 chapters and I can remember dying for an update. The story line while started out as your basic Edward/Alice betray Bella/Jasper was written in away that made it her own. Her Bella captivated me, half the time I want to hit Bella the other half the time I want so badly to comfort her. Though most days the desire to hit Bella wins out. But Jasper isn’t that much better lol, though much much MUCH hotter LOL. Jasper is sweet and sensitive. He’s the guy everyone wants to be with and Bella is the one everyone should be jealous of.
Jaspers Izzy has captured Bella perfectly. Ever the defeatist this Bella is. Bella is so self-deprecating and it drives me nuts but it’s who she is and in this story it works. She has experienced the worst kind of betrayal by the one she loved and her best friend, its understandable that she would feel not only worthless but also substandard. Bella is in love with Jasper and god forbid she should think herself worthy of a vampire other then Edward. Don’t even get me started on that.
Jasper is the perfect gentle man. He is in love with Bella but will never tell her because he thinks it’s too early and that she could never love him. **sigh** don’t you just want to crack their heads together? I know I do.
This isn’t just a mushy love story; I don’t think Izzy knows how to write mushy love stories. This girl likes dark ass shit and she writes it well. However, this story isn’t near as dark as her others. The conflict in the story doesn’t just come in the form of “he/she could never love me” there is so much more going on with this story from cheating lovers to crazy stalker vampire. Plus who cant wait to find out what’s going on with Peter, I mean damn, showing up all cryptic with out Char, yeah you know something is going on there (though, I already know **grins**). I will tell you now to stick with this story because it’s unlike any other you have ever read.
I know my words are pointless and useless, you will read it if you want and wont read it if you don’t. But Jaspers Izzy writes a magical story that is about to turn you all on your head so I beg of you read and enjoys this story. You wont be sorry. Also you are commanded to leave her lots and lots of love!
This "T" rated WIP is an absolute treasure. I've had the pleasure of reading this one from its days of inception. I've watched this story grow from the traditional Edward/Alice betray Jasper/Bella into a strong, solid fic. This is a slow build J/B, but I assure you it is worth the wait. The chemistry that Izzy has created between these two is pure magic. The build up is what keeps you coming back. I swear you'll be screaming at your computer screen waiting for these two to realize what they are to one another. One of my favorite things about this tale is how despite what Edward and Alice have done, the Cullens still remain intact. They don't abandon Bella in her time of need. Izzy portrays a true family unit, and one we don't often see in many J/B fics.
Not only has the fic grown into something incredible, but so has the author's writing. Each chapter gets more developed and I really feel Izzy challenging herself with this one. The amount of thought and time she dedicates to each chapter comes through and certainly pays off for the reader. As we move into the final stages of her story, I have no doubt that we will be surprised and captivated. It's a great find; one you won't want to miss.

There are no words that I can express right now to tell you Jess, the amount of emotion that I felt while reading this. It touched me beyond words and I want you to know that I treasure this story, because it brought me you as well as the rest of the Darlin's.
It is an honor to be apart of this group and have you all as sisters. I love you all and I want to say thank you for sticking with me in this journey in not only learning how to write something worth a shit, but also in finding myself.
We Found Each Other is a perfect name for this story, because in all honesty, it is how we found each other. It's corny saying it, but it's the motherfucking truth.
Steph, you are always so supportive of my crazy ass and I thank you for always lifting me up with this story. You know it is my weak spot because it is my baby and I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning. Thank you for always being there for me.
I love all you girls.
