* CrowningMomentOfAwesome/ CrowningMomentOfFunny: When Bree [[spoiler: kicks Alec off the Lutheran Cathedral]], now THAT takes some sheer gall.
-->Bree: I was optimistic, though. If I could outrun a werewolf, I could outrun a fourteen year old bloodsucking anesthesiologist, right?






* JerkassWoobie: Alec and Jane have a rather heavy TearJerker backstroy that makes you want to hug and cuddle them, [[ManipulativeBastard and then]] [[AgonyBeam you]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast meet them.]]



* RomanticPlotTumor: The story starts off exciting, fairly fast-paced and plot driven, with Bree traveling around the world looking for her lost friend Fred. It skips out on nearly all of the [[TwentyMinutesWithJerks wedding scenes and prep at the beginning of Breaking Dawn]], and thankfully doesn't pause to linger on Bella and Edward's relationship. Six chapters in, Bree meets Alec and the story grinds to a halt for at least another five chapters to focus on the romance. Then apparently the tumor became malignant and [[ScheduleSlip killed the story]]. Of course, given that this is ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fanfiction, it's not [[StrangledByTheRedString all that unexpected]].
** YourMilageMayVary on how malignant the romance is to the plot since the majority of reviews express [[UnderStatement some mild interest]] in the future of Alec and Bree's relationship.
** Also, watching Bree and Alec fight can be pretty entertaining in itself.



* StrangledByTheRedString : Though Bree is ''dead set'' on fighting it as long as she can it was kind sealed by this line from
--> Alec: She was one of my kind, yes, but one of a kind as well…which was peculiar since threads of my cold, empirical logic saw nothing remarkable about her in the least. She was a girl – my age or near to – with the enchanting beauty typical of all female vampires but not to the same memorizing extent as Heidi. Nonetheless, there was some ethereal quality to the girl that I couldn't place anymore than I could ignore.
** Kind of justified, in that Alec was bored out of his skull at the opening of his side of the story, [[spoiler: and actively contemplated turning one of the humans he was going to eat, just so he would have someone else his own age to talk to.]] Plus, it seems like all ''Twilight'' vampires are vulnerable to the same romantic whims of fate.



* YourMileageMayVary: Quite a bit actually, most notably the alternative views of the Cullens Alec presents.
** Also Alec himself, depending on your view point he is either a VillainProtagonist, AntiHero, AntiVillain, HeroicSociopath, or some combination thereof. The Jury is still out.

* HannibalLecture: On multiple occasions Alec deconstructs the Cullens' value of human life and their desire to imitate it in ways that make them appear far less noble and benign than portrayed in the book series.
** During a phone conversation with [[spoiler: Alice Cullen]], Alec offers a disturbingly alternate view of the Cullen family that depicts them as a [[spoiler: cult pretending to be a family who's love and acceptance is entirely dependent on their members' obedience to their diet and human-friendly philosophies]]. He also accuses the Cullens of [[spoiler: forcing their views onto Bree - an impressionable, newborn vampire - and pressuring her to conform to their lifestyle to the point of (unintentionally) physically and emotionally abusing her]].
*** Possibly the most horrifying observation Alec makes of the Cullens is that [[spoiler: their inaction against the growing newborn army during the events of ''Eclipse'' and singular desire to protect Bella Swan resulted in hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent humans (such as Bree herself) dying to build and sustain Victoria's newborn army, all so Bella could have a few extra months as a human being]]. Which certainly makes the Cullens sound like a bunch of selfish hypocrites when it comes to their criticism of other vampires lacking respect for human life.
** Ironically, Alec's motivation for saying all this seems to be [[spoiler: a genuine desire to alleviate Bree's physical and emotional anguish as well as bolster her self-esteem and independence as a vampire]]. Something the Cullens are, arguably, not doing despite their professed love.
