BLACK SWAN

"A black swan is a large-impact, hard-to-predict, and rare event beyond the realm of normal expectations. Almost all consequential events in history come from the unexpected—while humans convince themselves that these events are explainable in hindsight."

"First off, I love Jacob & Bella because it came so naturally for them, and the way they fell in love with each other is very realistic. I believe they are soulmates even in the world of vampires and werewolves. And "People who are meant to be together, always find their way in the end." I believe that is true and that Bella & Jacob will somehow find their way to each other in the end."

-lafs1684

"I love Jacob and Bella for many reasons but the main one is that they both really care about one another. Jacob may be a werewolf but Bella doesn't mind. She was scared for him when she thought he would die and kissed him to persuade him not to endanger himself. He stayed to fight for her even after Edward took her away. She ran away from Edward to see him whenever she had the chance. She wasn't scared of seeing Jacob as a werewolf like she was with seeing Edward as a vampire, and because he is her air and her sun and she saw her whole life with him."

-loveloveme

"I love Jacob and Bella because they are real. Their realtionship is relatable and they have this understanding of each other that can't be described. They don't have to ask questions, they just know who the other person is. They love the person for who they are entirely and really mean the world to each other. You can see them at their happiest when they are together, laughing and just being themselves. When they hug, it is like they never want to let go. You can feel their chemistry in the book. Jacob is her personal sun, and they have a relationship that transcends labels and names - they are just Jake and Bells."

-courtneybangelcakes

"I love JB for many reasons. I think that Jacob brings out the best in Bella. Whenever I read New Moon or Eclipse -- well, any of the Jacob and Bella scenes, really -- I feel like Bella is an actual person. I can hear her laugh and see her just having a good time. Jacob brings out a literal sunny side of her and it makes me so happy. Another reason I love Jacob and Bella together is because they make sense. I know what you are thinking: Edward and Bella make sense too 'cause they're in a relationship. Yes I know that. But...if vampires and magic and all that stuff did not exist, Jacob and Bella would still have been friends. Then they would have progressed to more than friends."

-How Cute Is She

"I love JB -
Because they are real.
Because they make me laugh,cry and fall in love all at the same time.
Because they know how the other is feeling without speaking a word.
Because they can laugh and have fun with each other.
Because they are equal in every way.
Because they dont have to change who they are to be with each other.
Because even when everyone gave up on Bella, Jacob took care of her and made her feel half alive again.
Because they arent enough words to describe how I felt about them "

-barneyrocks

" They were the one thing about the magical yet somehow strangely unmoving story SM had to tell, that I truly believed in, they made me laugh, and cry, and made my heart ache. They were the only real, honest and meaningful thing she wrote.

To me, Love is loving when you know there's a great chance of it ever happening, loving inspite of it being a losing battle for you. Thats how Jacob loved Bella. He was there for her when all the people she’d come to rely on left her “for her own good”. He pulled her out of the darkness, became the reason for her to go on when she didnt have any and he did it all with his heart on his sleeve, knowing that she probably would never be able to love him the same way. Yet he never regretted loving her, or ever wanted not to love her. I could see the world ending, but I could NOT see a day when Jacob WOULDNT love Bella. He didnt need some supernatural stuff to make him fall in love with Bella, his human heart and feelings did it ALL by itself. And that what makes their love greater, no magic invloved, no imprinting, no bloodlust. Just pure unadulterated love. He brought to her life, the one element that was missing - humanity. She cringed at the idea of marriage, she loathed her mortality, she'd never imagined having children. But with Jake, she saw all of that and she wanted all of that. The best thing was that she didnt feel that she had to change to fit in, to feel like she belonged. She could be herself, plain, clumsy Bella with him. And I liked who she was with him. She was strong, confident, she laughed, she wasnt afraid to be stupid and be reckless.

With JB, there was build-up, there was a journey. I could feel what Bella felt for Jacob. I smiled with her in response to Jake's smile, I swooned when she finally kissed him, I cried with her for what she saw as her future with Jake, I felt her healing through Jacob, I felt their connection. I felt what JB meant to each other. Long romantic speeches and big declarations were not needed. Their love was evident in the small things. How hard he tried to make her happy, how he understood that she wasnt ready and was willing to wait till she was, how easily he sensed what she was feeling and how she understood what he was thinking just by looking into wolf!Jacob's eyes, how words truly werent needed, how fiercely possesive and protective she was of him, how easy it was for her to smile when he was around, how he made breathing easier, how his pain felt like her own.

What they have is what I'd want for myself."

-Pure.Magic

"When Bella first went to Jacob on a mission to be reckless she was nothing more than a zombie simply going through the motions of life, alive but barely existing, and he alone lit up her world again and became her personal sunshine. He brought her back to life, taught her how to live again, saved her from becoming a mere shell of a person. Around him she laughed and had fun, craved his smile, felt real and genuine emotions again for the first time in forever. When he was hurting she felt his pain like it was her own, was willing to run away with him if it would make his pain stop. For most of the books she loathed her own mortality and feared growing older, but when they kissed she imagined having kids with him and growing old with him, years passing and meaning something as they did so. She imagined a future with him. He may have been a werewolf, but there was nothing mystical about how they fell in love, it was a result of a beautiful friendship that became something more and was totally natural. She even admitted to herself that in the non-mystical world Jacob was her soulmate, that they would have been together and happy. The kind of love they share is exactly what I someday hope to find too. "

Mucho gracias for the new thread!

"I can’t wait to see how [Jacob] is able to pull [Bella] out, but he does.
She’s like a zombie and he’s the light. It’s such a tragic story.
It’s like, ‘That’s who I should be with, but I’m totally in love with the guy I shouldn’t be with'." - Kristen Stewart

"I'd go with Jacob. [for Bella] He's way more interesting." - Robert Pattinson

"...To see this character Jacob, who's supposed to represent light and warmth,
and he pulls her out of a rut that’s like seemingly impossible... it's really tragic. - Kristen Stewart

"Yeah, I totally agree with you. [Bella]'s just young and doesn't know what's right but she'll figure it out
[Edward]'s so confusing and tense. Jacob is just so friendly. It's almost like they're family.
Yeah, that's the real man for her, I agree." - Taylor Lautner

"She has a best friend. And he'd do absolutely anything for her. And he is the right choice....
....He is the epitome of warmth, and to reject that is heartbreaking." - Kristen Stewart

“He becomes like her best friend. It’s really [expletive] sad.
Edward probably isn’t a very good idea for her. He’s not the guy she should actually be with, because it’s not very convenient.
And then there’s this guy who comes in and oooohh. Ummmmm.” - Kristen Stewart.

All I caught was that one of the girls was also named Jessica, and the boy who noticed me was named Jacob.

"I’m Jacob Black. You bought my dad’s truck."

But I really did like Jacob. He was someone I could easily be friends with.

"Seen anything you like?", I teased, nodding towards a group of girls lined up against the wall like pastel confections. "Yeah," he sighed. "But she's taken."

"Can you believe my dad paid me twenty bucks to come to your prom?"

"He said to tell you, no, to warn you, that — and this is his plural, not mine, ‘We’ll be watching.’"

I’d forgotten how much I really liked Jacob Black.

"Wait a sec—are you legal yet?"

Jacob was simply a perpetually happy person, and he carried that happiness with him like an aura, sharing it with whoever was near him. Like an earthbound sun, whenever someone was within his gravitational pull, Jacob warmed them. It was natural, a part of who he was. No wonder I was so eager to see him.

"I believe that… we have a date."

Jacob was waiting for me. My chest seemed to relax as soon as I saw him, making it easier to breathe.

"Jacob, you are absolutely, without a doubt, the most talented and wonderful person I know. You get ten years for this one."

"Bears don’t want to eat people. We don’t taste that good. Of course, you might be an exception. I bet you’d taste good."

"So are you going to be my Valentine? Since you didn’t get me a fifty-cent box of candy, it’s the least you can do."

"I told him you were planning to corrupt my youthful innocence."

He was my best friend. I would always love him, and it would never, ever be enough.

"As long as you like me the best. And you think I’m good-looking—sort of. I’m prepared to be annoyingly persistent."

"I’m not good enough to be your friend anymore, or anything else. I’m not what I was before. I’m not good."

There was nothing left in my life at this point that was more important than Jacob Black.

"Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf?"

"How do you know me so well, Jacob? Sometimes it’s like you can read my mind."

"We’re a pretty messed-up pair, aren’t we? Neither one of us can hold our shape together right."

/

"Look, do you mind saving the stupid stuff for when I’m around? I won’t be able to concentrate if I think you’re jumping off cliffs behind my back."

Like we were connected, the echo of his pain twisted inside me. His pain, my pain.

I knew that last glimpse of his face would haunt me until I saw him smile again.

by Pure.Magic

"I think I might have been wrong before, you know, about not being able to be friends. Maybe we could manage it, on my side of the line. Come see me."

As we walked, I felt myself settling into another version of myself, the self I had been with Jacob. A little younger, a little less responsible. Someone who might, on occasion, do something really stupid for no good reason.

Jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now.

"I miss you every day, Bella. It’s not the same without you."

"Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV."

"But I’ll never see anyone else, Bella. I only see you. Even when I close my eyes and try to see something else."

"Does my being half-naked bother you?"

"What’s it like — having a werewolf for a best friend?"

"Hey, it’s the least I can do — I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life."

"I’m in love with you, Bella. Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know you don’t feel that way, but I need the truth out there so that you know your options. I wouldn’t want a miscommunication to stand in our way."

"You love me, too. Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me."

While he slept, every trace of defensiveness and bitterness disappeared and suddenly he was the boy who had been my very best friend before all the werewolf nonsense had gotten in the way. He looked so much younger. He looked like my Jacob.

"You could kiss me, for example. I don’t mind if you want to use me to experiment."

Jacob was right. He’d been right all along. He was more than just my friend. That’s why it was so impossible to tell him goodbye — because I was in love with him. Too. I loved him, much more than I should, and yet, still nowhere near enough. I was in love with him, but it was not enough to change anything; it was only enough to hurt us both more. To hurt him worse than I ever had.

It made no difference that Jacob was not human when he cried out. I needed no translation.

"I’m exactly right for you, Bella. It would have been effortless for us — comfortable, easy as breathing. I was the natural path your life would have taken… If the world was the way it was supposed to be, if there were no monsters and no magic…"

"I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun."

"How can we be friends, when we love each other like this?"

"I probably won’t think she’s good enough for you. I wonder how jealous I’ll be."

"I’ll always be waiting in the wings, Bella. You’ll always have that spare option if you want it."
