When I first trawled FF.net for Bellisle fics and found this...well, I was reluctant to read it, I admit - I'm not a huge fan of abuse, and I usually scroll down the page double-time when anything really graphic appears on my screen...but then, this fic doesn't shovel abuse in your face for no reason.
This fic vividly shows you the consequences of a person's actions, how that person dictates their victim's life, even when they're not there, and how, when that victim finds herself stuck between supernatural worlds in little ol' Forks, light can be found in the strangest and darkest of places.
To date, 'Take This Heart' is eighty-five chapters long - I know! How does she do it?! - and an update for it seems to appear in my inbox like clockwork. But not only is BookwormBaby2580 dishing out the chapters faster than I can say, 'Wait... Is that another chapter?' but the quality of them... *sighs* Her writing is fan-fucking-tastic - it's more than readable, more than relatable, and it gets to the heart of the matter so cleanly and precisely you'd think she's written it with a scalpel.
