Sometimes, you find a fic that is so thought provoking - so soul speaking - that it makes all others pale in comparison to it. It makes anything else just not fucking worthy and haunts your dreams, your thoughts, your life.
This... is that fic for me.

(Sorry I didn't have the banner. I looked but couldn't find one.)
Summary: To me, life was a heartbeat in time and a breath of air. Jasper showed me it was truth, justice, faith, love, and fear. He dared me to be different. He encouraged me to defy the rules of my world and create my own. And on my last day, he took it all.
This fic blows me away. I love everything by Oracle Vas, but this story just grips me in a way I don't think any other has. Her Darksper is the one I think of when I imagine Jasper's darker side. He's so thought provoking - so mysterious - yet, he's also not this bad ass motherfucker that can't be taken down.
Don't get me wrong, he's powerful, handsome, cunning, you name it, but what makes him so fucking special is his way to make you think about shit like you never would have before. The first 20 chapters are done in Bella's POV. (We do get JPOV later on, so stick with it) So we're only getting her side of the story. She's been thrust onto Jasper for the "good" of the family, but there are dark secrets that all the Cullen's are hiding, including him.
You can almost see Jasper's fight against "feeling" anything towards Bella. It would be easy to love Bella, but dark shit in his past might keep him from doing so. Not to mention he has own motives for "teaching" Bella the lessons that he shows her.
Alice and Jasper are not mated in this fic, which makes it all the more perfect in my eyes. Not to mention that Alice is not this perfect little angel either. She has her own agenda, and her own dark secrets. I actually like her Alice. (gasp) I know right?
Edward and Bella are due to be married, but the longer her and Jasper spend time together, it becomes obvious that her heart is not in it; and Edward's for that matter. There are motives and plans at work here that Bella is slowly shown as she gets to know Jasper.
He shows her a new outlook on life after figuring out she just might not be the mousy little human they all thought her to be. Jasper is preparing her for the vampire world - or is it something bigger - and uses hard lessons and a dickhead attitude to do it. He doesn't care about sheltering her from the hard truths of becoming a vampire, and does not spare her feelings as their lessons continue.
Jasper and Bella find an easy (well, not so easy) relationship. They just get each other in a way no one else can. They share things that no one understands, but in a sick twisted way, it brings them together and makes them who they are.
We signed our names in dirt and talked about death. I dropped you off a roof and pushed you off a cliff. You called me a jackass. I called you disappointing. We were good like that.
Jasper truly is a JACKASS in this story, but he has his moments where his softer side shows, though. It makes everything all the more confusing. Does he love her? Is he using her? Does he even give a flying fuck? You just never know.
Bella starts out a fucking mess. She's the same weakling we find in the Twilight series, but a few moments of Jasper's unnoticed attention, reveals to him that she's something more just waiting to be discovered. He helps her with that, even if he is a dick while doing it. I love her Bella. She grows a backbone of steal and makes it believable. It's not often I can say I actually like Bella in a fic, but after a few chapters, I grew to love her.
Oracle Vas has an amazing way of keeping you thoroughly fucking bewildered with the plot. Just when you think you have it all figured out, a monkey wrench is thrown in and everything becomes tangled once again.
This fic is so beautifully written - so amazing - that I honestly don't know how I make it from week to week waiting for updates. I know this review is very vague, but I wanted to keep it that way. Giving too much away would ruin it for you. We are to the part of the story where revelations are just made and questions are answered, so you're at a good point to jump in and take a look, if you haven't already done so.
I'm actually highly ashamed that we haven't rec'd this story yet. CWMK's Darksper has to be, hands down, the best Darksper I have ever read. There will never be another for me, because this motherfucker owns my heart, fully and completely.
Please, go read it and giver her some love. I know you'll be happy you did.
