Pwns of the Week

Pwns of the Week – 8/19/10

Every week, we mention the stories that are pwning us~fics that we are just so darned excited about, we can barely think of anything else. We asked you to tell us what’s pwning you and you answered! The top five plus five randomly chosen (using random.org) make up this week’s TEN FICS THAT PWN YOU!

Cura Te Ipsum by: SuperstarNanna
Summary: Physician, Heal Thyself. Can doctors Edward and Bella manage to navigate their egos, their workplace, their friends, and their past secrets? A story about finding the courage to let go of the past, heal and accept love. M for language/content/lemons.

Why this fic pwns Skeezon: This story has believable, likable characters that have you cheering for them from the beginning. Edward pursues Bella, even after he learns of her past. Now, her past is back to haunt her and Edward vows to protect her, no matter what.
This Edward is real and hot and Bella is a smart, no-nonsense girl. The author keep things interesting while tagging us along on a journey into the mess that awaits just around the corner!

Love in my Box by: cosmoandmarvar
Summary: Bella’s an intellectual free spirit and Edward is a reserved, slightly geeky med student. They have a brief, but intense encounter on Sp Brk in Miami. Can they find true love through emails? There will be lemons and laughs. Look who’s writing this!

Why this fic pwns Natalie: I usually don’t like it when stories are told mostly through correspondence, but cosmogirl and marvar have really captured Bella and Edward. The story is intriguing, and the the UST is high!

Out Lives Unbound by: theladyingrey42
Summary: My mind is trapped in circles, my loneliness pressing in. Unable to speak, I reach for her spark. In her eyes, I find my partner. In her command, I find my freedom. Together, we open our lives to something more. AU/AH, D/s, male sub.

Why this fic pwns MsKathy: I love that this story begins with an uncertain Edward. There is beauty in his confusion and pain, especially when he begins to work things out. When he meets Bella, just as confused and hurt by life, they forage something unique and wonderful together. Watching their journey unfold step by step has been so compelling, and being inside of their heads is a gorgeous place to be, even in their states of distress.
I urge you to give this story a try even if you have traditionally found “BDSM” stories to be not your cup of tea. This is so different and so very easy to relate to for anyone, I think.

Paradigm Shift by: Lilyofthevalley77
Summary: Bella’s life as a Cullen was near perfect. But what happens whenJasper and Bella return from three days away and find that everything theyknew, everything that was has been changed forever?

Why this fic pwns Linda Larsson: It´s such a new, fresh idea, they loose everything and gets chased away. and the last chapters had me biting my nails when Bella had to make a really tough decision. Love the story and i think the author is a sweetheart who replys to all my reviews, =) <3 <3

That Pain to Miss by: HelenahJay
Summary: Carlisle told Edward it was his decision to try and extract the venom from Bella’s wrist in the ballet studio. Edward decided not to. E/B, Post-Twilight AU, canon couples.

Why this fic pwns songster51: This fic was just recc’d to me Thursday night by a fandom friend in whom I have great respect. My respect was not misplaced. This is a little gem. It’s short, only 23 chapters, but it is captivating. The chapters are short and paced beautifully. This is a story from Bella’s POV and it is angsty but so alive and gutsy. You will find yourself cheering for her and not really caring so much that Edward isn’t around for quite a few chapters. But not to worry because you know Edward is nothing if not smart and this story is definitely redemptive. Please read this. You will not be sorry.

The Woods are Lovely, Dark, and Deep by: bananapancakes7
Summary: Bella visits a quiet lodge in Forks and she meets the secretive, tormented Edward Masen. Just as their relationship transcends friendship, Edward’s past comes back to haunt him in the most brutal way. B&E are human, but oh…there will be vampires. AU.

Why this fic pwns HammondGirl: I’ve reread this entire fic over the last week off and on. And died. And flailed. And wished that I could re-review each and every chapter. But sadly, I’d already rambled about them all to bananapancakes7. I’m not sure how she does it, but she paints this incredibly vivid picture in my mind, and I can’t help but SEE everything she writes. It’s fabulous. And horrible at times! She is seriously trying to kill me with this story, I think, as well as all of her other adoring fans! As for the storyline, I can only flail all over myself whenever I think of it and the wonderful characters she has implanted directly in my brain. I don’t have any wonderful words to throw your way, except that this story manages to go in a completely different direction than I anticipate, yet go exactly how I want it to at the same time. It’s maddening. And fabulous. And wonderful. And I love this story to pieces.

The Worst of Weather by: Yellowglue
Summary: Bella comes home for Christmas break from her freshman year away at university to be unexpectedly all shaken up. Snideward. Spitefulward. Slightly Darkward. Rated M for lemons and fluffiness in future chapters

Why this fic pwns Linda Larsson: From the first chapter i was captured, couldn´t stop lovin her words, she has a way with words wich owns you, keeps you and won´t let you go, leaves you breathless and shaken, and you just want more! Best of all, this one is complete, and since it´s in BPOV you can get EPOV in http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5739878/1/Rose_Like_Thunder, also complete.. Could it be any better? =) I don´t think so.

There Once Was a King by: Brits23
Summary: Bella relies on pen and paper to inspire her in a monotonous world, but the written word is nothing without the right melody. She finds that melody in a man who breathes life into an endless sea of grey. He’s everything-everything she can’t have. CxB AH

Why this fic pwns Chele: Okay, so remember when you were 17 and would babysit for your parent’s best friends’ kids? Maybe you even had a crush on the kids’ dad?
Well, their dad is Carlisle, and the feelings are reciprocal.
Now imagine a story that is written so well that it makes it all seem beautiful, magical, and both simultaneously right and wrong?
This is that story, and it’s pwning me. Hard.

There Will be Blood by: johnnyboy7
Summary: Edward Cullen,25,the son of a Chicago mob boss. He is second-in-command, cold and dangerous. Bell Swan,18,small town girl who has just enrolled as a freshman at Northwestern. A story about how love can survive in the cruelest of worlds.Very OCC.Rated M.

Why this fic pwns sarah: First of all – a guy writes this. Secondly – its insane. ArmaniWard is OCD, hot and kills people without a second thought. Its bloody, its sexy, and its so completely disturbing I can’t stop reading. Johnnyboy7′s blog is an additional plus. He adds his own comments to every chapter, and regularly updates 2x’s a week. One of the best new fics out there in awhile. The Twilighted forum is just as hilarious with other fans thoughts…..TWBJB…..read it NOW!!!

Thirty Days by: bananapancakes7
Summary: After a drunken bet with Emmett, Edward swears to abstain from sexual activity for an entire month. Bella isn’t pleased. And temptation is a tricky bastard. AH. Rated M. B-day gift to queenofgrey.

Why this fic pwns ybee: Right off the bat, the bet is set and Edward is NOT sexing up Bella and the UST begins!! What’s not to love? The chapters are long. The sexual-frustration is delicious. The banter is witty. There’s a vibrator… blue balls… and a desperate Bella who just wants some lovin’.
And if you need anymore convincing, Bananapancakes7 is the mastermind behind the epic “The Woods are Lovely, Dark, and Deep.” So… get reading!
