Official Description: Happy Harry is here again, live and streaming right into where you live. Are you ready for me?” Will Bella Swan find out who’s behind the sexy voice that has her all hot and bothered? BxE – AU/AH, OOC, Lemons and Language. Now revised and expanded.


manyafandom says: This story combines some of my favorite things: shy Bella, shy Edward, a mystery, kick-ass music and my fav Christian Slater movie “Pump Up the Volume”. Seriously, what’s not to love? Nothing I tell you, nothing.

Bella is happy to finally not be the fresh meat at Forks high with the arrival of Edward Cullen, the new doctors golden child from Chicago. She’s instantly intrigued by the guy. He’s quiet, doesn’t make eye contact and stammers when anyone talks to him. Upon the arrival of the new guy a mysterious podcast hosted by “Happy Harry Hard-on” pops up in Fork. Harry spanks it… a lot and generally bitches about the lameness that is Forks.

Harry and Bella’s alter ego “Poetry Lady” flirt and tease each other into a frenzy, as Edward & Bella work on a project together. Bella begins to become obsessed with both Edward & Harry, a feeling drawn somehow to both. She’s on a mission to figure out who Harry is:

Bella Swan. Full-on stalker. But I couldn’t help it. I had to know.

To find out the identity of Harry, you just have to read, hehe. But I’m sure you can guess.

So Be It is short, sweet, funny and hella steamy and smutty. Really, there is no reason for you not to read it. I guarantee you’ll love it. Originally written for the Steamy Movie Crossover contest, SophiaAnne expanded it, fleshing out the story and adding a very healthy dose of UST and smutty fun times. Her smutty parts are lyrical and tingly:

He reached for me and I expected him to touch my breasts, which were obviously ready and willing for some major gropage, but he took my hand instead, lifting it gently, palm up, our bodies swaying together to the music and each other as he placed his lips over the pulse point at my wrist, a soft caress.

Then his tongue traced the vein, sending a shock so unexpected I felt my knees start to buckle. It felt sinfully erotic, that tiniest of touches, and I realized the sound echoing in my ears was me moaning as he circled my waist to keep me upright and finally, finally, pulled us flush together, the soft skin of my belly now pressed against the harder flesh of his abdomen.

These two tease each other mercilessly, but truly see each other as well. Also, Edward has a bit of dirty mouth on him. Which Bella doesn’t mind whatsoever:

“Fuck, you’re so wet I can feel it through your jeans.” He breathed roughly for a moment, his nostrils flaring as he slowly and deliberately held my eyes, then dipped down and circled the tip of my achingly hard nipple with his long tongue.

I flat out moaned and threw my head back, the strokes of his tongue going straight to my clit before he stopped abruptly. I whined and whipped my head back up to glare at him and he grinned.

“I want you to watch me lick your pretty tits,” he murmured.

Guh. It was possible I melted completely at that point, but at the least, speech was a total impossibility as I locked eyes and did as he requested. I was panting and rubbing against his thigh like a cat in heat as he took his time again, lavishing attention on first one and then the other of my breasts. And fuck me, as good as it felt, it was the look in his eyes, the complete intensity and heat that promised things I hadn’t even dreamed of that had me on the brink of orgasm without him ever making a move into my panties.

They find in each other that perfect partner, the missing piece, the person that simply gets it without having to explain. How’s that for poetic. le sigh.

Now go read and enjoy!

Kassiah says: One night on twitter, people were tweeting about a #readalong, and I thought what the hell, I’ll give it a try. A few hours later, I was completely enamored by So Be It, the fic that was chosen–so much so that I actually got mad at manyafandom for not telling me about it sooner. (I later apologized, since it was my fault for being an observant ass–she had tweeted it and rec’d it all over the place). I can’t think of a better fic to have experienced for my first #readalong.

Like manyafandom said, So Be It is a crossover fic, and I certainly haven’t read many of those. It’s exactly my kind of story- a fic set in high school with an incredible plot and realistic banter. I love Edward’s parents in this too.  And did I mention it’s fucking hot?

“This was one.”

“One, oh, oh, one, what?” I managed as his roaming hands moved lower, his fingers sliding down my belly and exploring for a moment before he found the holy grail. I yelped and ground against him harder, needing him to keep touching the sweet spot right there that felt so, so good.

He grinned up at me and then retreated, his hands dancing back up my torso, and I realized the sadistic motherfucker was teasing me. I growled as him and raised myself up, almost letting him slip out before crashing back down.

He hissed and grabbed my hips, encouraging my rhythm.

“Oh, fuck, yeah, like that. Thought about you, you at that desk in the library, throwing me down, punishing me and riding me hard, just like this,” he moaned out, and I nearly came right then and there from the image.

Then his fingers decided to do some more walking and stop playing coy as he found my clit and stroked me until my whole body felt like it had imploded with pleasure. I slumped boneless as he rolled us back over, his cock still hard and throbbing inside me.

I shivered with every thrust as he pulled me tighter, still whispering in my ear about how sweet my pussy was and how he wanted to tongue fuck me and watch me get myself off and then let him fuck me all over again. I stroked his back, feeling the muscles moving beneath his skin, murmuring little assents to his suggestions until his breath grew more ragged and he came hard inside me.

If you are looking for a fun story story that’s steamy hot and as well as a quick read, definitely check out So Be It.

Eight Days a Week by 107yearoldvirgin

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5647059/1/Eight_Days_A_Week


Official Description: Bella Swan needs a Nanny. Edward Cullen needs a job. Accepting the Manny position will change his life forever…and may just help him grow up in the process. Snark, humor, lemons and Edward in a towel. Seduction has never been so juvenile. AH/AU


manyafandom says: Eight Days a Week; I looo-oo-oove you (lame Beatles joke, I know). But I really do love this story. It’s fluffy, sweet and steamy and has just a touch of the angst. The angst and back story of the characters is handled well and enhances the story. I’m not gonna say any more than that, because it would give it away.

Edward, the slacker, is the new “Manny” for Bella’s kids; Bree and Brady. The story follows his adventures and misadventures with the kids; his commentary on today’s children shows is priceless. And his pursuit to nail his boss, Bella. Well at first he wants to nail his boss, but as the story progresses, things change, feelings change. It’s quite lovely actually. These four are exactly what the others need. The need each other at a base level that they aren’t even aware of, as family. Edward grows up, while keeping his mischievousness, and realizes what’s been missing in his life, Bella and her kids and the sense of belonging they give.

That sweetness aside, Edward and Bella are insanely attracted to each other. Edward’s little Edward, lovingly nicknamed “Don” definitely wants some of Bella. But it’s not that simple, as these things never are. Le sigh.

Most of all, this story is funny. I gigglesnort often at Edward’s antics and the situations he gets himself into. The levity balances out the moments of heaviness that are inherent given the situation that they all find themselves in.

Eight Days a Week is beautifully written and the story engaging while not being overly dramatic. It’s a lovely, funny ride, plain and simple.

Kassiah says: Like manyafandom said, Eight Days a Week is a fun, happy story. In a ffic world that seems to be teeming with angst and heartfail, I find it refreshing to get this update in my box whenever it comes. It’s funny, but not in a crackficy way. It’s sweet and romantic, but still so real.

Never in my life had I had been so ready to walk out and been unable to. One thing was for sure: those kids needed me.

I stood back from the bag and placed my gloved hands on my thighs, bent over at the waist, taking in gulps of air and shaking with anger. I didn’t even hear anyone; I just felt eyes watching me. I spun around, my whole body on alert, and I watched as Bella descended the stairs completely, standing small and frail next to the wall.

I must have looked half crazed because she seemed legitimately afraid of me.

“What?” I snapped, unable to keep the venom out of my tone.

She bit her lip and looked down. I moved to turn off the radio and she looked back up petulantly. She swallowed hard and raised her hands in surrender. “I…I,” her cheeks were bright red as her eyes roamed across my form, resting on my chest and sliding down my abs. Any other time that would have made my cock twitch, but I was having a serious problem with getting my anger in check.

“You, what?” I crossed to her, slowly taking off my gloves and throwing them on the couch as I passed by it.

Bella pressed her back into the wall as I approached, like I was a lion stalking its prey. She lifted her chin as I stopped just shy of her, less than a foot between us. “I left work early to make dinner so that I could meet you at Brady’s practice.”

I rested one arm against the wall next to her head and ground my teeth together, my jaw flexing. “The ball practice that made him have a nuclear meltdown?”

“He did?” She whispered, staring at my mouth as I spoke.

“He hates it.”

“I didn’t know. They’re more open with you than they are with me. I think they trust you…”

I leaned closer and she lifted her eyes to mine. “Maybe you should ask. They are more than happy to tell you anything you’d like to know. Except what the hell has happened to them. No one will tell me that.” Something flashed behind her eyes and her face leaned towards me just the slightest bit.

“You owe me an explanation, Bella.”

“I know,” she breathed. “Just not while they’re here, okay?” Her tongue flicked out and ran across
her bottom lip, moistening the skin and making it gleam in the light. “You’re really protective of them already, huh?”

That took me by surprise. I didn’t love anyone, really. But these kids were the closest things I had to making me feel…something. And I was protective of them for some odd reason.

I was their guardian now.

“They need someone like you,” she said softly and I swallowed thickly at the realization.

“Yeah?’ I asked, my voice barely registering as she nodded yes. I met her eyes with mine again.

“And you?”

She let out a small whimper and moved minutely, her lips so close to mine that I could almost taste her.

Yeah, I stopped it right there. I really love this story, and not just because it’s hot and makes me smile. It gives me a newfound appreciation for stay-at-home moms. And for homemade birthday cake. That’s all I’m saying *wink* 

Great Vexations by AngstGoddess003

http://angstgoddess003.livejournal.com/tag/great+vexations
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5415199/1/Great_Vexations

Word Count: 15,152


Official Description: Oneshot-SLASH: Jasper is brought home to live with the Cullens in hopes of providing lonely orphan Edward a friend. As they come of age, Jasper struggles with attachments, unrequited lust, and hostility in the wake of being left behind. E/J. Rated M


manyafandom says: I had the pleasure of meeting angstgoddess003 a few months ago at Comic-Con. We talked about a lot of things, but one thing that stuck in my mind was this idea she had for a slash story where Jasper dry-humps a pillow. It was the only thing that she told me about it, I was intrigued and slightly weirded out if I’m being totally honest. Well Great Vexations is the dry-humping a pillow story and boy did she ever deliver.

This is not a happy story nor does it have a happy ending, sure it has moments where the reader goes ‘awww’ and wants nothing more than to hug Jasper tight and tell him everything is going to be okay. The ending might not be happy one, but it’s real and right and fits the story. Great Vexations is defs not WussPerv approved, just a warning.

I could give you a quick summary of the story, but it’s better if you the reader discover it for yourself and form your own opinions of the two main characters. I will tell you this though; Jasper is lost and alone in this story, broken and scarred by a not so nice past. Edward is his light, his white knight, the one that keeps the monster at bay, his everything.

Great Vexations is dark, not in the murder, mayhem and bloodlust kind of way. But in the letting ones hopes, wants and desires take over and blind you from the truth kind of way. It’s a story about growing up and realizing all that you thought was true, that grounded you is false.

It’s heartbreakingly good, not just because of the story being told but the way in which it’s told. AG’s narrative is poetic and shows us instead of telling us. We feel what Jasper is feeling; his highs, lows, loss and love. It’s simply beautiful, and the fact that it’s Jasper and Edward just makes it even better.

mozzer0906 says: This is a heartbreaking story of a young boy who comes to learn that he is madly in love with his best friend. The way Jasper’s emotions are portrayed in the story left me in tears; I connected with him early on in the story and I wanted some way for him to find happiness. Alas, happiness is not to be found for everyone simply because they want it to be so and thus the story will leave you with a dagger in your chest, but in a very good way.

The thing I enjoy about heartfail is that in order to truly deliver, you have to make me care about the characters enough in order to feel sadness at their loss. This is especially difficult to do in a one-shot when you have limited words to help bond with the characters. This fic delivered the heartfail in spades and I was cursing her name as I rocked back and forth in a corner surrounded by tissues screaming out “hide the razor blades”.

Looking beyond the heartfail, this fic also delivers what I enjoy most about all of Angstgoddess003’s fics – it has a fantastic inner character voice. You feel as if you are watching the story unfold from Jasper’s mind; when he obsesses over certain things, you see that obsession laid out before you in words which make you understand not only that he is completely enamored with Edward Cullen, but exactly why he is so far gone. It is the why that I think makes the story, you understand where Jasper is coming from and so you can take the journey with him knowing his motivations along the way, as well as the cruel untruths he allows himself to believe because reality is just far too painful to confront.

The Caged Bird by KristenNicole

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5124537/1/The_Caged_Bird
http://twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=5643


Official Description: All Human AU – Shy Bella Swan lives with her religiously zealous mother, Renée. When she has a chance meeting with town hellion Edward, Bella begins to realize that perhaps the sheltered life she’s been leading isn’t so much a comfort as it a cage.


manyafandom says: Oh My Frilly Heck I­ love this story. I really do. My pal ninapolitan kept going on and on about this story so I gave it a try and devoured it in one sitting. This Bella is a one of my favorites of all times. She’s sheltered and stilted in her life by her devout overbearing mother. She has no understanding of how the real world works or how to interact in it. Her whole world revolves around school, church, her mother and working part-time in the library. Where one day she runs into Edward, no really she RUNS into Edward with a library cart. Hilarity ensues. I know this sounds like a total angstfest, but trust me it isn’t. Bella’s thoughts, her way of thinking, the situations she finds herself in and the way she reacts to them is all done in a very funny way. There’s a bad girl in Bella screaming to get out and the appearance of Edward in her life seems to be helping Bad Bella along. Seriously, go read this right now.

Kassiah says: What words can I use to tell you about the utter genius that is The Caged Bird? I don’t have them; I cannot form them. Like the description says, Bella lives with her freakishly-religious mother and leads a completely sheltered life, including attending Forks Christian Academy. She’s at a point in her life where she is on the brink self-discovery. And I am not just talking about the with the shower-head kind (but, um, that happens too). In the 11 chapters that are out so far, Bella experiences so many firsts: kiss, waves of lust, secular music, standing up to her mother, standing up for herself, plus so much more. The author takes us on Bella’s journey with grace and such realistic descriptions, it is simply amazing. Each chapter begins with a well-chosen poem and Bella’s inner monologue is so spot on for someone going through the things she is experiencing, I feel like I am right there with her. And for many of the scenes, I wish I was, especially in the supply closet and the nonfiction section. This isn’t just about Bella. Edward is a fuckhot cursing doc-wearing bad-boy with calloused fingers and a way with words. There’s even OJ. I mean, what else can I say? Without a doubt, The Caged Bird is one of my favorite stories and Kristen Nicole is the author that I am gonna keep my eye on. If you aren’t already reading this, do not wait anymore. Read it. Right now.

MF’er says: I don’t have much to add as Kass and Hope have pretty much said it all. Seriously if you want some fun, fluffy… bad boy Edward with a hidden sweet side and good girl Bella with a hidden naughty side… This is for you! Just go read it, trust me when I say you will not be disappointed.

Crackfic: Edward the Beta by TheNinjaWolf

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4916108/1/Edward_the_Beta

Official Description: Edward is a ‘beta’ werewolf. He’s trying to have an affair with Jacob’s girlfriend.


manyafandom says: This is the crème de la crème of crackfic, it makes me laugh so hard that tears come to my eyes and I have problems breathing when I read it. Yes, it’s that funny…to me. To everyone else, I really don’t know. If you are ever in the mood to laugh hysterically at utter ridiculousness and stupidity, than this is the crackfic for you. Edward wakes up naked in the woods and is informed by his adopted father Carlisle that he’s a werewolf. Yes, Edward is a werewolf. Also he’s not the brightest crayon in the box and everyone thinks he fucks trees. That doesn’t stop Bella from being attracted to him and his schlong. All Edward wants is to touch Bella’s boobs and stop waking up naked in the woods.

MF’er says: Have you ever wondered just what might have happened if Edward was turned into a Werewolf instead of a Vampire? He’d be forced into cut-off sweat pants and living with meanie wolves who hate him and wouldn’t allow him to touch Bella’s boobs. (Not that he ever did that in the actual books, or did he? We’ll never know). For some odd reason he gets pegged as a tree fucker because he keeps ending up naked in the woods and he’s not real happy with this. See?

“I really wish I’d stop waking up naked in the woods. Last Tuesday, Bella saw my schlong, and although she seemed excited it was pretty embarrassing.”

He also misses his family… and has decided that poetry is a good outlet…

Isolation
I am Isolated,
No one hears my cries.
My family,
My family,

I don’t like these pants.

He’s done everything he can to win Bella’s affection…

I’ve choreographed a dance to impress Bella and win her love. Next week I’m going to perform it for her. I have to make up some serious ground, because after the schlong incident she won’t even look at me. I’m going to make my hair bigger too; it’s only 5 inches tall at the moment. My big hair and dance routine will ruin Jacob Black.

Unfortunately his dancing doesn’t help him out, so he decides that ballet will be a good bet but this only gets him called gay and makes him decide that he hates Jacob even more, oh and Carlisle…and his mother Exme, or is it Eseme or Exsemesxxeme or wait, no… HOSEBEAST. The ridiculousness continues and I could go on and on about the hilarity that is included but I think I’ve given you enough to go on… right? Seriously by the middle of the first chapter I was in tears from laughing so hard, go read it… its less than 1000 words but it might take you a while because you’ll literally have to stop every five minutes to catch your breath from laughter.

Kassiah says: I would really like to say something witty about this story, but I can’t because I. cannot. breathe. It is so fuckawesomely hilarious. The poetry. The dancing. Gaycob. Hosebeast and Pooplisle. and Kevin Bacon’s schlong. You have to read it. That is all.

mozzer0906 says: Edward the Beta has a first for me – the first time I’ve seen an author use the word schlong for penis – even if the rest of the story sucked (which it doesn’t), this alone would make it win for me.

Edward’s internal monologue about what he thinks about everyone around him is hysterical, consider this musing about what he thinks about being a werewolf:

“I hope I get to do something cool with my new wolf powers instead of running around aimlessly trying to defend the tribe from mythical creatures.”

That quote earned a huge laugh from me simply because I imagine that prior to seeing Laurent in the woods with Bella in New Moon, this is exactly what life was for the wolves of La Push.

Edward is also quite the accomplished poet:

“Isolation
I am Isolated,
No one hears my cries.
My family,
My family,
I don’t like these pants.”

TheNinjaWolf has a fantastic sense of humor and I laughed out loud at every chapter. I’ve also put this gem on alert so I can find out how Edward’s quest to depetal his flower is going.
