Summary
My no-kidding master's thesis, the tl;dr version of which can be summarized as "Twilight sucks, but not because teenage girls love it or because it contains sparkling vampires". Actual abstract: "Despite being generally received as wholesome entertainment, Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series implicitly supports rape culture by subtly reinforcing dangerous ideas about romance and relationships. In order to demonstrate the pervasive nature of these attitudes at work in the Twilight series, this paper first describes the concept itself and the crucial features of the beliefs that support it. Dracula—and, more importantly, the prevailing cultural perceptions about Stoker’s novel—functions as an important intertext for Twilight thanks to its status as one of the earliest popular vampire novels, and I use it to show how these attitudes can normalize certain assumptions about sexuality in a context generally assumed to involve a clear sexual interpretation. My examination of the books in Meyer’s modern vampire narrative takes this idea further, arguing that the same attitudes applied to Dracula provide an even more subtle representation of the mindsets that comprise and perpetuate rape culture."

Summary
This is a story about a woman and her odyssey walking backwards from hell. Along the way she meets her demons, soothes her tortured soul and finds herself walking paths that lead to the same place.
But this is a story about him too, a man who battles his duality while closing cycles that were left bereft and fraying. While doing so, he stumbles backwards from heaven.
This is a story about mirrors, and reflections. Somehow, these two individuals meet in the middle to find balance between Order and Chaos.

Summary
“Oh shit, you love her.”
The first time someone says this to her, it's enough to give Mal whiplash.
(AKA the one where everyone knows that Mal is in love with Evie despite how hard she tries to hide it.)
