Author's Note: This is my first and quite possibly only Twilight J/B fic. I started it an extremely long time ago and was encouraged to finally post it when the Big Bang was coming up because I thought this story worked more like a novella than a multi-chaptered fic and could be presented well in this format. As it is I think this fic would be best read in two sittings, but I also split it into smaller chapters the best I could.
