Tjcbunni22 is just brilliant. I have read some of her other stories and always feel in love with them. So it was no surprise I was instantly drawn into this one, As I Am, featuring Edward and Angela. 
This is a beautiful read with Edward’s internal struggles to find happiness in his life, and to let it stay and not run from it. Or push it away. Angela is a powerful and amazingly strong character in this story while staying very cannon (based off the bit we know about her from the Saga). She even delves into Angela’s personal life, from her mother dying in front of her and her being the daughter of a Preacher. 
Angela intrigues Edward and that conflicts him. How her mind works makes him think twice and I think he loves it. While she thinks he is absurd and confusing, she does find herself falling in love with him.
