Teaser Tuesday! UC Chapter 25

OK Unexpected Circumstances fans!  Here's the teaser you may or may not have been waiting to read...

***

Edward pulled me against his chest, and I felt his lips on top of my head.  I had no words to speak and tried to instead comprehend what had been told to me.  It was clear Edward needed to secure his successor as quickly as possible for the good of all of Forks, but why did he take such a route to that end?

“I had no time to really think on it,” he said, his voice again strained.  “I should have, but again my lack of forethought has harmed us.”

I reached up and placed my hand against his jaw, my fingers working their way into the strands of hair at his neck.  I turned my head to press my lips to his chest where his robe fell open.

“The only other option I could see before me was that of concubine,” he finally whispered.  “Your place as my wife would remain secure, and Aro would not be able to begrudge me the alternative.  I told them I would take Angela as such, and she would provide us with the children we must have.”

I finally spoke.

“Why Angela?”

“You love her,” Edward said, his voice husky in his throat.  “You will love the children she bears as if they were your own.  They will be your own.  No one but you will raise them.”

“Does she know?”

“She does by now,” he responded.

“Has she any say in the matter?”

“Of course,” he replied.  “And…if you would prefer…if someone else was…”

Edward’s voice trailed off, and his hand left my back to cover his own eyes.

“I cannot believe I am speaking to you about such a thing,” he said.

“What if she refuses?”

“I will not…I would not…if she did not agree,” Edward said softly and shook his head.  “But if she does not come willingly, the other option placed before me is Princess Jessica.”

“She would become your concubine?  A princess?”

“No,” he said softly, “she would not.”

The meaning of his words hit me harder than the original news.

There are rocks, there are hard places, and then there's the place these two are stuck.

  4. OMG... poor Bella!! I can't say poor Edward. He made the situation going after King Aro for revenge and look what he's gotten for his ill gotten deeds. This could get really tricky! I'm glad you're writing it! ;)

  5. OMG, I'm back to hyperventilating over here. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I can continue if he sleeps w/Angela. I'm just going to pray that they find a solution before that happens. OMG, this rips me to shreds.

  8. I know it would kill Bella but I almost wish she could get out of this marriage and after some time passes find happiness somewhere else. She did not ask for any of this. I am not liking Edward right now!

  9. When I read the last chapter in my review I said "well it could be worse, he could have been required to take Jessica as first wife and bump Bella", or something like that. That would be real misery for Bella. I have been in a real funk over that chapter, and actually I hesitated to read the teaser. But honestly, the teaser made me feel better. I can see Bella and Angela raising the children as sisters. Of course assuming that Angela agrees...and assuming that Angela gets pregnant and has Edward's children. So can Angela agree please? I really like feeling better. Just saying.

  10. *bangs head on desk* your cruise is until 10th?

    GAH!

    He is taking the lesser of the two evils. I would hate to be in either his or Bella's shoes.

  11. Second wife alert!!!11 This is better than Maury on a rainy day.

    I love these two, but fuck this situation. I'm now all for Bella taking him up on his original deal to leave him and live elsewhere, at least temporarily. He is still so immature, I mean, he has sex with (special headboard sex, even) and THEN proceeds to drop this nugget? Son, please. There is only so much royal politics our sensitive lamb can endur. I vote for a separation.

  12. I think we should kill the 'Tea Giver'! She is the one who is preventing the pregnancy!!!!

  13. I was excited to read your teaser... but now, I am not so sure. I am not sure if I want to read the next chapter. Of course I will still love your story. I would just have to wait. That is my initial plan, but I guess I can not help myself if I'm too curious to see how this one goes. :-)

  14. OMFGGGG. please dear god do not let edward cheat on bella. i'll have to flounce and i don't want to do that!

    and don't say it's not cheating. if he's putting his dick in someone else's pussy, it's cheating.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I was really excited to see Bella pregnant with Edward's child, especially after chapter 16! So I would be upset if Angela had Edward's child...even if Bella would act as it's mother. Other than that, great stuff ;)

    ReplyDelete
  16. I just want happiness for Bella that is all. She didn't ask for any of this. Edward placed her in this situation when he decided to use a human to get Aro to go into war with him. Bella is the one suffering, she will be the one that has to deal with the person she loves bedding her best friend. What really gets me is how Bella wanted a baby so that she could be the only person tied to Edward with such a strong bond.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Jezzz, No this is not right! Edward has got to do something. How can he get it up for someone else? How can Bella be ok with Edward sleeping with her best friend? How could he put poor Bella in such a misery? I vote for Bella to leave him. He made this mess he can suffer the consequences. And dont tell me its not cheatting, it might be not intentional, but getting it up for another woman and sticking it in is cheatting. This is pure torture. I thought Edward would fight this, and I understand this is the only option not to lose his wife, but Id better see him let Isabella go, then hurt her like that. How could she endure Angela's belly grow with Edwad's child? Edward and Bella will never be the same again!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Well i'm happy Bella would raise the child and not angela!

    ReplyDelete
  19. this is such a sensitive subject for me, I can't even think straight... you see, my first marriage ended when my ex husband confessed he had a mistress and she was preagnant... I thought I would die. because we were trying to have a baby. I know he was a bastard and what happened was for the best. he didn't deserved me. and I know E/B situation is totally different. but when other readers say them want to puke I can say I'm about to do it, for real.
    and I guessed from the very beginning bella woulnd't be able to get pregnant...

    I wish there was another way.
    what if angela doens't get pregnant either?

  20. This makes me sad. I think its because it hits personally for me - and it feels like this fanfic is telling me that because I cant have a child, my husband is going to go out and have sex with someone who can... and that makes me feel like crap. Which isn't why I read fanfic. :/ So much other stuff in fanfic is angsty angsty and it hasn't bothered me ... this one just keeps sticking with me since I read the last chapter. If they actually do sleep together, I don't think there's any coming back from that for them as a couple, at least not for me.

    Other than this bit ... have loved this fic. This just feels like unnecessary angst with all the existing stuff already going on.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I want to cry. Seriously, big, heaving, gut-wrenching sobs. I feel so bad for Angela. And Bella. Hell, I even feel bad for Edward to a point. I won't flounce if he sleeps with Angela (or someone other than Bella), but I may have to wait and finish it when it's complete to limit the heart fail to a single day. :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. You people gotta be kidding me. Now you are happy that Bella will love angelas'kids and will raise them? and that makes you feel better? How can they take angela's kids from her? She bears children and she doesnt raise them? And we are not speakig 1 child here, but children ffs? This is double fucked up!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I have read the teaser several times now. It seems to me Bella Is handling the news pretty well, like she is resigned to it. Edward is justifying it as the lesser of two evils. So Savage, it looks like you are going to go down this road for real. No turning back. Honestly, I can't decide which situation I hate worse... I think I would rather he be forced to take Jessica and send Bella away. I just can't deal with the threesome lovefest with Angela. I respect you for being historically correct, for this is what would happen during medieval times, but as I have said before, it will kill the intensity of Edward and Bella's romance for this story, and that makes me sad. I will follow, but I will not enjoy it as much. But who knows- you are the queen of curveballs!

  24. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    ReplyDelete
  25. this may be fiction, but i think it's safe and fair to say that this subject matter would be taken or viewed exactly the same in real life...so you have to know that if this union between edward and angela actually happens that he and isabella will never be the same. that's not a story i'm interested in reading.

    i've loved all of your past stories and it's killing me to say that this one's not making that list. yes, all of your stories have some angst in them, but it feels like this entire story has been one huge angstfest from the beginning. it took so long to even feel anything but disdain and pity for these characters. then even when things were good with edward and isabella, there was still some underlying crap going on in the background. at what point do the readers get to feel good about this story, about these characters? you've said that it (the angst or heart fail, i assume) is going to be a while because the story will go to around 40 chapters. are you saying that this is all we have to look forward to - more of the same? no happiness?

  26. Love this teaser . You are an amazing author and I'm completely addicted to ALL your fics!! UC is a heartstopping read, can't wait to find out what happens next!

  27. Ok everyone suspects Jane and her teas, but I
    wonder if Bella got pregnant the night of the headboard breaking, since Jane was trying really really hard to not let them sleep together that night, did that not occur to anyone else?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Me too. Id rather see Edward takes Jessica, and be forced to marry her, than sleep with angela, who is somebody he likes, and wont be too hard to take her and make her pregnant. i want Edward to suffer for puting bella in such position. whats better than losing Bella and being forced to live with a bitch like Jessica? He can let Bella free for all that matters...what a fuckery. so Bella waits every night for her husband to finish with Angela, then take Bella to bed and make love to her? Nah, no matter how much Bella and angela love each other, somebody is going to get hurt, in this case is Bella.

    ReplyDelete
  29. WTF!!!!! I know that this is a story, not real, but fuck. How can Bella be ok with what her husband is telling her at that moment right after they just had headboard breaking sex. Jeez I would go apeshit on the fucker. LOL but seriously how can she really be ok with having her friend have sex and children with the love of your life. How would she be able to handle the nights that he'll be with Angela and then come back to their bed knowing what he just did with another woman. And then another blow to poor Bella's heart....that if Angela doesn't accept Princess Jessica would become his wife cause that what he is saying at the end right??? JEEZ!!!!! Damn can't wait to read what is going to happen to Edward and Bella. I'm going to go cry now bye:(

    ReplyDelete
  30. Of course the 'special teas', should've realized that!! I don't believe Exwsrd will go thru with it. Jessicas nasty ways will be found out before then surely!

    ReplyDelete
  31. This leaves me soooo very sad. I may have to avoid reading for a chapter or two - uber angst just gets to me.

  32. I'm also thinking there is more to the tea then we know....

    ReplyDelete
  33. Can't Angela secretly get pregnant by a different guy and pretend that the baby is Edward's?

    ReplyDelete
  34. OMG! I'm crazy for the next chap and the next and the next...
    My first time with incomplete histories.. Is TENSE
    But I have sure that will be rewarding.
    go go go
    Don't care with the comments of who don't can understand all factor that your history contain, like age, for exemple.
    Don't is just the clothes that are different here, people mind are. If you want see more of same, reread twilight books.

  35. I must say that i adore this story but i'm slowy dying with all thie angst!!!!!!!!!!can't they have one moment of peace.Their marriage will never be the same if he sleeps with angela,it is simply not right savage!!I want to terminate both bitches JANE and JESSICA.poor bella dying to give her love a child and unable to,the hurt,disappointment,the feeling of being a failure.she is so kind to everyone why must she always suffer???
    please make them realise the real source of their infertility and after killing the manipulative bitches be somewhat happy,let the angst be in the background not in their relationship,it's the only sacred thing left!!!
    please do your best to post before you go on vacation
    we love you all!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. so confused. just by the last thing he said, that Jessica would not be a concubine (spelt wrong, on 2 hrs sleep) nor would she be a princess. So that means that the marriage of E/B would still be, since Jessica would NOT be a princess..right? maybe I'm just tired. Hadn't really given much though to the teas. I mean Bella saved Jane, so why would she not want her to be preggers? I just have one request Savvy.. if you are able to update before your trip.. please do not leave it on a cliffy. that's just plain mean. love your writing, and you have always had a hea..i think, lol like i said 2 hours sleep. btw, why is Aro involved in this whole not getting pregnant thing?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Can't Edward lie and say he uses Angela that way? 'Oh! Theres no need anymore, Isabella's pregnant!' I don't know I'm still dying over last chapter...sadly the defibrillator did not work.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Gross!! Edward sleeping with Bella's best friend and then goes back to Bella. That is just nasty on so many levels!!! I feel bad for Bella and Angela. This isn't fair to them. Poor Angela having to let her best friend raise her children. Even if she does agree to it, she doesn't know how much she'll love her baby after it's born. She should be able to raise her chilren. Isn't it bad enough how James raped her, when can she find happiness. Then there is Belle who will have a cheating husband. She doesn't deserve that at all! I agree with the others that say let Bella divorce Edward and find love else where. This makes me sick!! I rather Edward have to get with someone he hates like Jessica. If Bella has to go through this then Edward should have to have an awful time doing it too. This is his fault. Bella would have been better off if she never laid eyes on him and of course Bella will be fine with this, she is SO submissive because of how she grew up. Gosh I hope we find out that it's Edward that has the problem and not Bella if he sleeps with Angela. Makes more sense, since he's never gotten a girl pregnant and he's slept with lots of other women, I think it would be funny to see how he would react after having to cheat on his wife and then find out it's him with the problem and then Bella probably having to sleep with someone(Although I bet she shouldn't), I think he'd go crazy! I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate Edward after he cheats on his wife and I'm going to have to skip reading some chapters if not the rest of the story. Oh well I loved the first 23 chapters. This is going to be hard for me, because this was my favorite story!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Why is it always the woman???? Maybe Sir Edward don't have any swimmers. This is so hard he does nothing but keep hurting her one day at at time and to raise another woman child a lot to stomach for a dear sweet Bella. All the transgression stacking up in a neat stack. How much more can she be expected to take from him. Oh get rid of the handmaid and her tea if not Edward lacking it is the tea!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Some theories:

    1) Carlisle didn't have children, but he didn't get another wife and he didn't get a concubine. Simply, he adopted Edward...and Alice.

    2) Alice is pregnant. Her baby could be a boy. Problem solved ;-) Edward becomes king and he will leave his kingdom to Alice and to his friend Jasper. Otherwise, hopefully Alice can have other children and -- very hopefully for the kingdom -- a boy.

    3) If Edward gets Jessica, his kingdom will be in Aro's hands (or better, in Aro's bloodline), and Edward will lose Bella. So, if he gives up immediately and he gives the kingdom to Aro, it's almost the same and -- at least -- he doesn't lose Bella.

    4) Edward could be sterile...and he has bedded many princesses... is there any chance that a little Edward is already in the world? O.o

  41. I also want Edward to suffer for having the audacity to infer that Isabella would love the children as her own since she loves Angela. I am sorry, that is nauseating. He goes all psycho if another man even looks at Isabella. Sorry I actually like your other Edwards in your other stories but this one makes me sick. I mean, if he dies then of course Alice's kids would be heirs in this kingdom so I am having a rough time swallowing that Alice's kid belongs to Whitlock. What should happen is Isabella and Angela should leave the kingdom and Angela provides food and drinks for Isabella. Now,Isabella is fertile since there is no more Jane and her tea. Then she meets a nice man who loves her and gets her pregnant. Then at the end of the story everyone finds out about the contraceptive tea and food, "Sir Edward" is standing there with his concubine, heir and Princess Jessica, as well as the "family". Let him suffer as he sees Isabella's belly full with another man's child. Then he could take his heir, concubine and the rest of the kingdom and he can shove them. sorry, but this guy has the nerve to expect this poor child to sit there while he destroys his own sacred bond with Isabella, as well as Isabella's friendship with Angela, since it will be easier for him? He should suffer with Jessica but I bet he just doesn't want to let Isabella go since he is so possessive and jealous. He wants to do what is easier for him. That is how I see it.

  42. How gut wrenching! :-(
    But if Angela comes, she *can* replace Jane and Bella will no longer be drinking that tea?!? Eeek -- what if they *BOTH* get pregnant...
    You implication about Jessica is even more horrifying!

    You make my heartache -- but it's oh-so-good!!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. It's just wrong, on so many levels... in the end, It is Edward's choice, and I am disgusted in him for this... He was easily adopted by Carlisle and Esme, could he not take a similiar route... I adore the story, but I can't really stomach him sleeping with Angela... I think Princess Jessica would be a better choice, set Bella free and then at least I would know he would pay for his choice forever... Poor Bella, OMG...

    ReplyDelete
  44. I've had this thought and I can't get it out of my head. Does anyone else think that Angela should drink Jane's tea? I know its random, and doesn't go with the post, but comments?

    ReplyDelete
  45. To comment on the above comment,,,,if Angela drinks the tea, then she can't get pregnant and Edward has to keep having sex with her.
    Holy crap! I thought I was the only one nuts about what's going on. I hope that Bella isn't so submissive about this and gives Edward a ration of shit about it. I am so not happy that Edward has to sleep with Angela because Bella is gonna be like...well be nice and gentle with her and would probably say make sure you make her feel good cuz she so effin nice!!! She would love Angela's children and you know she would have Angela be a part of raising them. Dammit....get some balls Bella! She needs to find out about the tea herself. I think that Aro and Jessica got to Jane and told her what she had to do or they would do something to her. What I would like to happen is...they bring in Angela but being the good friend she is she tells Bella and Edward let's continue trying to get Bella pregnant for a little while and then they find out about the tea and that Aro was a part of the plot and Bella gets pregnant before he sleeps with Angela and they let her stay on and be part of their family or they find Ben for her to marry....how about it????? You can still give us a little angst in the middle savage so you're happy and then we're happy!!

  46. I can't remember a story ever getting to me this much. It is mad, you updated a week ago and all I could think about was it. I went from toying with the idea of not reading it until you had finished, to reading it and back again. Having read this teaser I don't know whether I can handle the angst! You are such an incredible writer and the angst you are able to make your readers feel is incredible. I have read all your other stories and I am going to stick with you and read each chapter because I have faith in you and your happy ever after endings. I know it will take a lot more angst to get there but I know *I hope* that we will get there. Have a lovely holiday and enjoy the sunshine.

  48. Give us an OPTION 3 to choose from. This SUCKS and sorry to say neither of your possible story lines work for me. Trusting you have another twist here so I can continue reading this fanfic.

  49. OMFG I want to rip someone's head off...... not yours Savage, don't worry, I want to rip Edward's head because of the pain he is making Bella feel, I want to rip Bella's head because for what I read she isn't even angry, I want to rip Aro/Jessica's head b/c they are shit, and I want to rip Carlisle/Esme's head b/c they should be on Bella´s side.
    Bottom line is, I have murder tendencies right now!!!!!
    *Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
    Can't wait for the chapter, even if I know it will be angsty and it will have lots to take in!

    ReplyDelete
  50. PS: I'd rather Edward lose his dick to sleep with another woman! Even though I'm one of the ppl that can accept Edward with other women in this case I can't tolerate that, he is already married... HE CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It's going to be a long wait for this angst to end!!!! :´(

  51. This situation is so fucked up. Ugh, I could strangle Edward! Or Jessica or Aro...

    ...or maybe Jane? 'Tis the TEA I tell you! The TEEEA! And we should kiiiill her...

    Um, anyway, I think I was expecting Bella to go into shock and/or faint and then get angry - for obvious reasons. She should at least give him a bit of a cold shoulder, methinks...

    I hope you have a fab holiday and I can't wait for the next chapter! :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. I dont know what to say anymore. I felt sorry for Edward last chapter, he was devastated telling bella about Angela because i thought Aro and Jessica chose Angela to get to Bella, but reading this teaser I cant help but dislike Edward. So, he choses Angela because its easier for him to sleep with somebody he likes, and has the nerv to think he actually made Bella a favor for chosing her best friend? You gotta be kidding me, but if angela sleeps with Edward there is no way it wont affect Angela's and Bella's frienship. What a prick! why didnt he chose a faceless bitch to sleep instead? It would have been better than making poor Bella see her best friend bear her husbands children (yes children) as in many and share him with her all the time. How would they be able to see eachother in the morning knowing Edward has had them both? Another thing: Men form a bond with the mother of their children, even Edward might have no feelings for angela now, his affections toward her will grow once she gives him his heir. Poor Bella, she will be humiliated on so many levels. And please, how can They rip off angela of her kids? How can Bella see angela's belly swell many times and get to have the guts to raise her children? This is so wrong! what are we gona have a thressome one day? No matter how you twist and turn it savage, there is absolutely not right to go this route. i'd rather he is forced to get Jessica then sleep with the innocent angela. Is he going to deflower her? yuck!, kiss her, touch her naked body in intimate parts? shivers! Last, dont tell me Edward doesnt have a choice here, he has to think with his head on his shoulders not impulsively. If Isabella is his world, the fuck the kingdom you fool! And dont get me started on Isabella. what i get for this teaser is that she wasnt so shattered from the news, is she going to close her eyes and let them humiliate her like that? She didnt ask for this fuckery, she shouldnt suffer like that. Edward should suffer the consequences of his irresponsble decisions!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I can't believe this. I can't believe he'd hurt Bella like that. He knows how much she wants to get pregnant and how much she likes Angela. I can't believe he'd do that to her. And I can't believe that Bella will accept that just so she won't loose him. I mean, he's going to take her biggest dream and make it happen with somebody else and she's just going to put her head down and be ok with it? He's going to sleep with someone else just because Bella can't give him what he wants and that's the worst kind of betrayal.
    She can't accept that. She's already accpeted too much! She got married with a man she'd never seen before! She can't keep accepting everything that happens to her, she has to stand up for herself! She has to stop being a scary little girl that says "yes sir" all the time and fight for what she wants! She has to make them listen to her! This is important to her, she dreamt about having his babies and now she'll have to raise the ones he has with another woman?! That will destroy her. I know it'd destroy me.
    I'm sorry. I love all your stories and I've loved this one since ch 1, but if he does this, if Bella just accept this then I can't read this story anymore.

  54. It would be pretty funny if the tea had absolutely nothing to do with their infertility issues. They are doing their job and helping with Bella's menstrual related pains. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I see some users bringing up the possibility of Edward lacking viable sperm (I mean sexy times with nine women and NOTHING?) but that could only be proven by having sex with a non-Bella related woman for a period of time. There wasn't exactly an abundance of IVF centers for royal couples to do such testing in this story's era.

    My hope is that one of his past nine lovers has been keeping a young redheaded son out of the public eye for personal reasons...

    ReplyDelete
  55. Bella really does have to stand up for herself and fight! This is bullshit. Granted they are in older times so there aren't any fertility clinics available but they must have some kind of methods no?? I mean how many woman were "baren" in those days. Did they just take it as that or did they try something other than just fucking 24/7? Plus isn't it better to not have alot of sex so his sperm count goes up? If he is gonna have sex with Bella and Angela that is gonna make it worse. If he has to sleep with Angela I hope that doesn't mean he won't sleep with Bella...but that's nasty! If I were Bella I would tell him you make sure you wash her smell off you before you come near me....oh god! I would not be able to handle it. I would feel ashamed for being able to bear his child and then for people knowing that he is fucking some other woman because of it!!!!!! I can't see anything helping us for a few more chapters so get use to feeling like this ladies for a while longer aHHHHHHH!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I ment not being able to bear his child!! sorry

    ReplyDelete
  57. what are you people saying? If edward is sterile this story is over. He will betray his wife for nothing and he will lose everything becase he would never have his heir. That wouldnt make sense except it will further hurt Bella and destroy Edward!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wow...I am just stunned. But I have faith in the wonderful Savage and there will be light at the end of this tunnel. While we all hate this scenario it was probably more commonplace than we would like to think. Kings had certain requirements and an heir was one of them. I'm going to try to just hang on for the bumpy ride and see where this goes. I do hope Bella knocks Jessica on her spoiled ass though.

    ReplyDelete
  59. For the love of all that is Holy!!!!! When will this poor Bella catch a break?? I'm so disgusted right now...I don't care how much Bella loves Angela, that doesn't mean she should feel better about her husband screwing her... I love my bestfriend, but if she even laid a pinky finger on my man I would cut a bitch! I would rather Bella knock his ass over the head and through him in the fire burning in their fireplace, than to have to read about his marathon screwing between his wife and her BFF or that dimwit Jessica. Someone please catch Jane poisoning the Lipton Ice Tea mix!!!!!
    Have a great vacation :)

    I can't believe what I'm about to say but now I'm hoping Angela doesn't decline. I don't want Jessica to get her way and even if Angela comes to Forks they don't have to get right to it. He could stall a bit to get things fixed...OMG, this is stressing me.

  63. I think that Angela will work out the nasty deeds of Jessica and together with Jayne ( who Bella stopped from being continually raped)will 'save the day'!!

  64. Here is what I think. I think that there is a link between Esme not being able to bear children and Isabella not being able to bear children. I think that she was also given some kind of birth control in food or drink, so that this family is unable to have an heir that won't be linked to Aro. Marrying Jessica would link the bloodlines. In Alice's case, her child would go to the Whitlock family. As for "Sir Edward" the only way he can redeem himself from this disgusting idea of a concubine is if he purposely chose Angela and secretly helped her find a nice guy, and then Angela and (maybe Ben) would have a child and willingly pass it onto Isabella. Maybe he is thinking that Angela would be the only person who would make this sacrifice for her friend, and to protect Isabella, he isn't telling her that part for now. If he was willing to have sex with Angela, even if she refuses, then, I am sorry Savage, but there is no excuse and he disgusts me. Isabella is just a child who has lived a life of servitude for 16 years and she isn't going to change over night, human beings usually don't. So that makes the readers angry and we want to protect her even more. So, unless Edward secretly has other plans we don'tknow about, he is a this moment really sickening and he disgusts me, sorry.

  65. Wow, Savage, you really are hoping everyone just flounces this story, huh? That's an interesting approach to writing, trying to alienate your audience. Also, while I realize you're not trying to be historically accurate so you probably know that your version of a concubine is not what a concubine normally would be (i.e., a concubine normally would be very much a second wife and true mother of the children - they would NEVER be Bella's, and Bella would not be the one raising them), you contradicted yourself by inserting the notion of a "second wife", as Angela mentioned in the last chapter - where she also mentioned that she wouldn't mind being a second wife because at least she'd have a chance at a family. According to what you've got in this teaser, she *won't* be having a family, the family will be Bella's.

    As someone else said, 3-2-1...FLOUNCE. If there's one thing almost all of us won't tolerate, it's cheating. If there's another thing I personally won't tolerate, it's Doormatella. How is her rather subdued and accepting reaction in this teaser consistent with the last sentence of the previous chapter, about her world shattering? At LEAST be consistent with your fuckery.

    (P.S. This is just fuckery for fuckery's sake, this isn't you exploring character flaws. This is stuff happening TO E and B because of people, this isn't exploring the results of their own poor choices. Again you've contradicted yourself.)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Anonymous - of course not. My concubine is not your concubine, as you said. Angela believed Jessica was planning her to be a second wife to someone, that doesn't mean that's what's happening. If you want to stop reading, that's your choice.

    There is consistency. Perhaps you haven't seen it yet, but there is. The entire outline of this story has been written for nearly a year, and nothing has changed - you just haven't seen it all yet. I consider Isabella to be an extremely strong character, but that is my opinion and you are entitled to your own. It's a "teaser" - that is, it's meant to tease you with a portion of what's going to happen, not tell you everything that's going to go on.

    This is plot, not fuckery for any sake, but again - that's my opinion. I also consider this exploring my character's strengths, not their flaws - again, my opinion.

    P.S. stands for Post Script, and since you didn't sign your name, there is no script, and adding a P.S. this is a contradiction. ;)

  67. Savage, I've always felt that with time as we see Bella's confidence grow we would see her strength of character come thru!

    oh so if i correctly understand angela was tricked by Jessica in believing of becoming a second wife and having her own kids, a family and a man to take care of them. But you say thats not whats gonna happen. I hope Im wrong, but whats gonna happen here is that angela is going to be fucked until her baby making factory cant take it anymore and be ripped off her children. Or maybe Edward/Bella/Angela will have a thresome and live like a big happy family ever after?
    sorry im being kind of raw, but thats what you do to us, stir emotons...lol
    Hope you will figure this out for the best. I stll have faith, but can i ask for 1 thing only? Can you make Bella smack the shit out of Edward for being devastaed tellin bella the news and on the other side talking to her as if this is the most normal thing on earth.
    Thanks

  72. I posted this on FFn as a review to UC, but since I don't want to hide behind "anonymous" and have now thought through my reactions in detail, I thought I'd put it here, too (has to be done in several parts, though...apparently I'm too wordy!):

    Hey Savage, it's me, the one you wanted to educate about the meaning of "P.S."

    *deep breath*

    First of all, I have to say that I surprised myself by deciding to read chapter 25 despite having previously decided to flounce. (There: an inconsistency of my own for you.) I guess my own morbid curiosity about what happens next prevailed over common sense and self-preservation. That certainly says something about your ability to generate a compelling storyline... and I guess it also says something about me being a sucker for punishment - or something. ;)

    Second of all, to my even more profound surprise, I found myself not really hating E, B or Angela by the end of the chapter, when I fully expected to want to personally crucify all three, and every other character who has a part of this mess. I was actually convinced by your argument that B is demonstrating great strength here in the context of the historical times and her position with the royal family, which is totally counter-intuitive to me, because the 21st-century female in me wants to slap her senseless so that she'll stand up for herself for once and not tolerate what is the most fundamental humiliation a woman could possibly be expected to endure in a marriage (NB: I thought B’s nod to what “remained of her dignity” that night was apropos – at least she recognizes that this situation is the ultimate assault on that). I was also convinced by E's anguish over the whole thing and his genuine, deep-seated reluctance to go through with it, making him far less of a douchebag than if he'd just said, "Yeah, this is the way it is, we have to suck it up." You rendered his reactions very well, very appropriately for this (or any “true”) Edward, and very convincingly, in my opinion. Lastly, I was convinced by Angela's reaction, her sense that she's doing a serious favour for her best friend... I could see a similar discussion between a modern woman and say, her sister, in these situations you hear about where one is infertile and the other agrees to act as a surrogate. (I don't know how people live through that, frankly, since I would think it would be so much easier if the surrogate were a stranger and just left your lives permanently after the kid is born, but I guess people do it somehow, even in this day and age... Though you do have to admit that a modern surrogacy situation is way easier, because your sister wouldn’t actually have to have sex with your husband in order to act as surrogate for you.)

    (to be continued...)

  73. (part 2)

    I also concluded that I need to give you a chance to tell your story and not get so pissed off about what I *think* is coming... because at the end of chapter 24, as you would have seen if you noticed my other comments, I had concluded that Angela was being brought in as a true second wife and any children would be hers, not B's, and I just couldn't see how B could possibly be expected to tolerate such a situation. There's a HUGE part of me that wants to be pissed off at you in advance here, too, because now that Jane is also giving Angela the fuck-with-your-ovaries tea, I have visions of E having to fuck HER ten times a day, every day, for the next six to 12 months, for what will ultimately be absolutely no good reason -- and I just can't foresee any possible way that wouldn't utterly and completely destroy the ExB relationship. Sure, they could stay together for political reasons (a la Bill and Hilary, perhaps), but how could B possibly look at him, much less touch him, when he what? - comes back to *their* bed immediately after having sex with Angela, still smelling of sex with Angela, and then either does it with B, or doesn't do it with B because he's...um...tired? Even on top of THAT, which is more than enough in itself, there’s just way too much that’s utterly untenable about the situation if Edward has to go through with it. How is he going to be "gentle" with Angela without, uh, getting into it and making sure she's into it? An Edward with a sense of decency, as you’ve written him to this point, isn’t just going to climb on her, do his business without caring how she’s doing, then climb off, is he? Either way is pretty horrifying to think on: either he’s cold and that’s nasty for Angela, or he’s *not* cold, and that’s nasty for Bella. And how is B supposed to look Angela in the eye again? What could they possibly say to each other? "Uh, so how was it for you, Angela? Was he good?" "Oh, yeah, thanks, Bella. Boy, he has a huge cock. I don't know how you've been managing for so long."

    So I don't know... I’m really struggling yet determined to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and see if you "save" the situation in the next chapter. I'm going to try really hard not to try and pretend to read your mind, and will avoid sharpening the pitchforks before seeing what you do next.

    But if Edward has to actually go through with this with Angela? That just kills the ExB relationship – and this story – in my opinion. Because even if the political reality was you absolutely had no choice, it couldn't help but affect you. It could not possibly *not* affect how B feels when E touches her, or how she looks at him. If it doesn't, they're not human, I don't give a shit WHAT the historical times are. There's acceptance, there's doing something because you literally have no choice, and then there's having no human emotions - or at least no realistic human emotions. It would be like... God, like being forced to have sex at gunpoint. You're doing it because you have to, but you're sure as hell not going to walk away from it without it having profoundly affected you. So if you write it such that E and B just go on along tickety boo while E regularly fucks Angela for 6 months? It's just utterly and completely absurdly unrealistic, in my opinion. That's not a demonstration of personal strength, it would be a demonstration of characters who are not actually "people". NO ONE would be that way. No one. Not if they actually cared about each other. It's just simply not human nature, and I just can’t even imagine how you could convincingly argue otherwise. A person can accept her lot in life, but she can’t control how she feels about it, and no woman truly in love with a man is NOT going to feel like utter shit about this - forever.

  74. (part 3)

    So… being that the ExB relationship is why I read fic at all, if this happens with Angela and the ExB relationship is pretty much killed (or SHOULD be killed, if you’re at all realistic about human nature), that is where I will absolutely, definitely get off this train. There will be no reason for me to read it, because I don’t read angst for angst’s sake – I just don’t enjoy it. I may as well jam sharp objects under my fingernails. And I don’t think that should be considered as a “threat”, either. No one saying they’re flouncing or thinking about flouncing should be considered a “threat” – it’s an explanation as to why a person ceases to be a member of your reading audience. Wouldn’t you rather know *why* you’re losing readers, rather than having them just slink away quietly? It’s as much a comment as any other kind of review. And all authors (and readers) on FFn need to remember, the “Review” button is not a “Compliments Only” button. If you post your writing publicly, you expose yourself to and implicitly agree to accept comments both positive AND negative. Besides, in my view, it takes more balls to send a negative review, since so few people around here seem to do it.

    (Oh, and since you asked expressly, I’m sorry, but I don’t think the dress ribbon analogy worked very well. For one thing, I was like Edward initially, going, “HUH? What does that have to do with anything?” But for another, I thought it rather trivialized what is a pretty grave and ugly situation. Having someone help you with your buttons is hardly even in the same ballpark as having to let someone fuck your husband. I don’t think it’s even the same sport, much less the same ballpark.)

    Last of all, I want to try and explain my very visceral reaction(s) to what you've been setting up, here. I think it's what many other readers feel, too, even if they don't articulate it quite this way.

    As alluded to above, the reason many of us read Twilight and now read Twilight fan fiction is the ExB relationship. It's a story of great love, two people meant to be, ALWAYS meant to be, only for each other. There's something "sacred", for lack of a better word, about the relationship, and readers have certain expectations about how that relationship will go. One of the expectations is that they'll end up together, HEA. Another of the expectations is that they won't be fucking other people. As readers, we're of course willing to watch them work their way through various obstacles - E voluntarily leaving B for whatever reason, E and B being separated by circumstances involving their jobs, families, whatever - and so forth. But a hard limit in pretty much EACH AND EVERY story is the notion of either E or B being with someone else, however temporary. Look at EP. E and B were separated for a hell of a long time, for various reasons, but NEITHER was dating/fucking other people in the interim. If that had happened, I think you would have seen some incredibly angry reactions. Look at MotU. E fucked up at the end with his ridiculous reaction to B's pregnancy, but he didn't actually go running back to Mrs. Pedophile Pervert to fuck her. If he had, that story would have been utterly ruined, and again would have generated incredibly angry reactions. You didn’t even do it in CBWR – E and B were separated for a long time while he was in jail at the end, and she wasn’t dating other people in the interim, even though it would have been more than understandable if she had.

    (to be continued...)

  75. (part 4 - last part!)

    Put those scenarios in another book, though, with other characters who are NOT E and B? I might not really like it, but I'd still read it, and I wouldn't be wanting to punch someone in the throat over it, or cry, or whatever. I think many other readers are in the same boat. Sure, that shit happens. Bad shit happens all the time, and writers write about that.

    But E and B are "sacred". THEY don't do that. That doesn't happen to THEM. THEY are "ours", and we like them rendered in a certain way. (In fact, you probably could have written this exact same “surrogate” scenario in UC but with it happening to Esme and Carlisle or Alice and Jasper and not have gotten HALF the negative reactions and screaming you’re getting doing it to E and B.)

    To me, that's when angst/plot crosses the line into fuckery: when the bounds of what we'll accept in terms of challenges to the ExB relationship just go too goddamn far. And that’s what you’re flirting with here. This B, as one of your other reviewers pointed out, has been tormented left, right and centre almost continually throughout her life, and this story. This is TOO MUCH. It’s now at the point where it’s like, SERIOUSLY? What’s next? What other bad thing can possibly happen to her? Will a meteor fall out of the sky and hit her on the goddamn head? Piling the shit on top of the shit, making it worse and worse and worse and stretching that bottom line, the fundamental Line That Shall Not Be Broken – E or B fucking someone else – is just too much. THAT is when it becomes fuckery. THAT is when you get accused of just trying to manipulate emotions and pushing it and pushing it and pushing it just to get reactions out of people.

    So there you go. I hope this helps you understand where I – and maybe a few other readers – are coming from. I also really, really hope you “fix this shit” (as one of your other reviewers said), because I do enjoy your stories and I enjoy your writing quite a lot. I like UC in particular because I like historical fiction and this setting was so unique and humourous in many ways (e.g., the horses named Volvo and Vanquish – *snort*!). It will make me sad to have to delete it from my favourites list.

    Hope you had a nice vacation. There’s always internet on those cruise ships, but they usually charge you an arm and a leg for it!

  79. Wow!Scooterstale! Very well written....very long winded but I think you needed that in order to explain everything. I liked that you did not insult Savage even though you did not agree with the way the story was going. Not all B&E stories have a happy ending...believe me I have read some where I knew what was going to happen in the last chapter and I just could not read it....like Edward died in one of them and I told the writer...sorry but I can't do it. I was sick to my stomach and thought about it alot even though I didn't read it but I knew.... Yes we do get wrapped up in these stories don't we. To a point where I keep checking for updates during work instead of working...oh well. I definately see your point and appreciate you writing it. I think after reading all of Savage's stories, that if there were not a HEA she would have told us in the summary. I do feel the same as you as far as if he does fuck Angela he would definately be fucking Bella because of it...yeah had to use the word because it would be that vulgar...she would not get over it and it would totally mess up their relationship. I feel that if the characters didn't react that way, then they would not be human. What she shows on the outside may be one thing...but on the inside, she would be a freak if it did not affect her and how she feels about Edward and Angela. I hope the next chapter eases our stress levels a little bit and not have to wait for a few more chapters before being able to breathe again.

  87. I can't believe this. I can't believe he'd hurt Bella like that. He knows how much she wants to get pregnant and how much she likes Angela. I can't believe he'd do that to her. And I can't believe that Bella will accept that just so she won't loose him. I mean, he's going to take her biggest dream and make it happen with somebody else and she's just going to put her head down and be ok with it? He's going to sleep with someone else just because Bella can't give him what he wants and that's the worst kind of betrayal.
    She can't accept that. She's already accpeted too much! She got married with a man she'd never seen before! She can't keep accepting everything that happens to her, she has to stand up for herself! She has to stop being a scary little girl that says "yes sir" all the time and fight for what she wants! She has to make them listen to her! This is important to her, she dreamt about having his babies and now she'll have to raise the ones he has with another woman?! That will destroy her. I know it'd destroy me.
    I'm sorry. I love all your stories and I've loved this one since ch 1, but if he does this, if Bella just accept this then I can't read this story anymore.

I went from toying with the idea of not reading it until you had finished, to reading it and back again. Having read this teaser I don't know whether I can handle the angst! You are such an incredible writer and the angst you are able to make your readers feel is incredible. I have read all your other stories and I am going to stick with you and read each chapter because I have faith in you and your happy ever after endings. I know it will take a lot more angst to get there but I know *I hope* that we will get there. Have a lovely holiday and enjoy the sunshine.

I think Princess Jessica would be a better choice, set Bella free and then at least I would know he would pay for his choice forever... Poor Bella, OMG...

How much more can she be expected to take from him. Oh get rid of the handmaid and her tea if not Edward lacking it is the tea!

  93. Can't Edward lie and say he uses Angela that way? 'Oh! Theres no need anymore, Isabella's pregnant!' I don't know I'm still dying over last chapter...sadly the defibrillator did not work.

  96. Me too. Id rather see Edward takes Jessica, and be forced to marry her, than sleep with angela, who is somebody he likes, and wont be too hard to take her and make her pregnant. i want Edward to suffer for puting bella in such position. whats better than losing Bella and being forced to live with a bitch like Jessica? He can let Bella free for all that matters...what a fuckery. so Bella waits every night for her husband to finish with Angela, then take Bella to bed and make love to her? Nah, no matter how much Bella and angela love each other, somebody is going to get hurt, in this case is Bella.

  98. You people gotta be kidding me. Now you are happy that Bella will love angelas'kids and will raise them? and that makes you feel better? How can they take angela's kids from her? She bears children and she doesnt raise them? And we are not speakig 1 child here, but children ffs? This is double fucked up!

  99. I want to cry. Seriously, big, heaving, gut-wrenching sobs. I feel so bad for Angela. And Bella. Hell, I even feel bad for Edward to a point. I won't flounce if he sleeps with Angela (or someone other than Bella), but I may have to wait and finish it when it's complete to limit the heart fail to a single day. :)

  100. I was excited to read your teaser... but now, I am not so sure. I am not sure if I want to read the next chapter. Of course I will still love your story. I would just have to wait. That is my initial plan, but I guess I can not help myself if I'm too curious to see how this one goes. :-)

  101. Hello Hope your vacation was fabulous sounded like it was. I found your story recently and couldn't stop reading at work,at home, 2 AM. (by the way u are some writer really,really crazy great. When he left to go screw sorry crass but it is what it is her best freaken friend UGH! Please let it not be so I like the mix-up but really sleeping with her friend I'm still hoping the reason is that freaken tea Jane gives her is preventing her from getting preggers. So looking forward o and update to see where u will go. I just finished Surviving Bella  again great writing it just seemed to cut off at a point of huh what happens like one of those movies that all of a sudden the credits come on and your like WTF what happens....can I just say I'm luving you a little bit ...Lily
