RedVelvetHeaven says: So it’s my turn with the One Shot Wednesday and I couldn’t be more thrilled! I love me a good one-shot, I truly do! I never pass up the opportunity for a quick and complete read. So if you know me at all, you know my love is strong for LaViePastiche as well as for a good Jasper/Bella story. So combining all those loves together I present to you….’Pine Lake’. Written as a sample for the ‘For the Love of Jasper‘ contest, LaViePastiche set the bar high with this one….

Set in Pine Lake, Georgia in 1976 and told from Bella’s POV, LaVie takes us back in time and what a fun journey it is. Bella is a college student that has recently moved with her family to Georgia for her father’s new job. Being new in town, she is not privy to the town gossip about one very intriguing landscaper that is helping out the Swan family. Bella is instantly attracted to this mysterious and beautiful man, but her new friend Rosalie has a story to tell her that should scare her away from him for good….or will it? Complete with yellow polyester pantsuits and am radios belting out songs like ‘Magic Man’ and ‘Dream Weaver’, LaVie beautifully transports you back in time and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

“My stomach lurched again when I heard twigs cracking behind me. Without thinking I ran straight into the river. I made it in about a foot when I slipped on a rock and fell hard onto my back, against a cluster of rocks and branches. I immediately lost my breath. I brought my hands to my throat and tried to take in a breath but nothing came and the only sound I could make was strained gasp. I rolled onto my stomach and tried to get up, but I just flopped in the shallow water like a dying fish.

Suddenly, I felt two hands grasp both my upper-arms. I closed my eyes and everything just turned off. That was it, it was over, he found me and I was going to die in the woods.”

dunnn dunnn dunnn dunnn….. LOL

MF’er says: I’m also a huge fangirl for LaVie and her uber-sexy-sparkle-pants hehehe. I jumped into this the day it was posted and ungh, oh dear… Landscapersper is just rawr. He’s all mysterious and sexy and you kind of get this vibe like the story is going to be all eerie. I think I even PM’d her like “Umm, is this gonna be like… Crystal Lake, you know, like the movie… with that one guy?”

But I should have known, she has nothing but love for Jasper and she did him so so so right in this one shot. I highly recommend giving it a read and then going over to the FTLOJ C2 and reading more of the wonderful entries!!

Kassiah says: Everyone knows that I don’t seek out stories that require me to be a big fan of Team J. But since I love LaViePastiche sfm, I had to check this out. Lucky for me that I did, because it reminded me the reason why I started to love her way back when she grabbed me with “Game on, brown eyes.” She is such a descriptive writer and conveys such emotion through her words.

Pine Lake is one of those stories that everyone should read, regardless of whether or not you love Jasper/Bella together. It’s everything we want: so well-written, with a wonderful plot and believable characters, sexy smirks and sweet, sweet lovin’. Trust me when I say you want to read this :)

The Masque of the Red Death by JeesieChreesie

September 17, 2009 by · 1 Comment

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5248764/1/The_Masque_of_the_Red_Death
http://twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=6778


Official Description: Her blood would be mine. As would she. Once she begged, pleaded, demanded, and wept for my bite. And she would. The only question was how many would die first.” Vampire AU. Mature audiences only. NO sexual abuse.

–
Bratty-Vamp says: When JeesieChreesie told me that she thought Twilight fanfiction could use more stories in the horror genre, I was curious to see what she could come up with. I read Atlas Shrugged, and already knew she was a helluva writer. But what would she do with a horror story?Well, with The Masque of the Red Death… it’s easy to see that she was up for the challenge! Masque is written from Edward’s POV, and it is sickly delicious to see this tale unfold through the eyes of a sadistic killer. In this story, Edward doesn’t whine and brood about his disgusting nature. He celebrates it. He treats killing like an artistic gift… and it’s gross and it’s wonderful… and it makes me feel like I should feel bad for loving it so much. But I can’t. Like a boy trying madly to impress the girl he likes with shiny trinkets, Edward leaves Bella bloody tokens of his affection. But what does she make of his gifts? Will she give him a gift in return? Her heart? Her blood? Her sanity? I can’t wait to find out.

Definitely not a read for the faint of heart. And take my word for it… don’t read the chapters right before bed. But if you aren’t afraid of a character that makes the typical “Darkward” look like a big wuss… jump on this story. It’s creepy, and it’s scary… and it’s so wonderfully written that you will be grossed out in the very best of ways.

MF’er says: Holy. Shit. I am so unbelievably intrigued by Horrorward. JeesieChreesie has certainly come up with something like I’ve never, ever imagined when it comes to these characters. This is my first time reading anything of hers and I’m totally impressed by the mysterious way she’s weaving the story, what we’re learning little by little and what we’re seeing all through Edward’s point of view. Jeesie’s writing is fantastic and a bit morbid, but like Bratty said… it really is in the very best way possible. If you can’t handle gore or horror, this story isn’t for you, but if you love mystery, intrigue and a story that will certainly keep you guessing – check this one out.

mozzer0906 says: This was another one of the addiction feeding Darkward’s I’ve found in my quest and this one is so dark he is midnight. He is a true madman who leaves gifts for his singer in order to either impress her or drive her positively mad. He has no remorse and is quite creative in his kills. This is not SMeyer’s Twilight that is for sure. I find it dark and delicious, wondering who is going to piss off Edward this chapter and how Bella will react to each death (much like Twilight, she doesn’t react how anyone expects her to). You feel a little guilty for loving him so and then you realize that we all love ourselves a bad boy from time to time. This stays true to the horror genre therefore is graphic and gory – Edward takes quite pride in the trinkets he leaves for Bella.

RedVelvetHeaven says: This is my first Jeesiechreesie reading experience and I have to say that I’m more than impressed! Bratty Vamp knows my love for a good read and I think everyone is beginning to know my love for a good look at a sick mind. LOL So when she suggested I read Masque of Red Death I was all over it. And I was hooked from the first chapter. Being written from Edward’s POV we are given the opportunity to experience this all from the killers POV; following his dark thoughts; his sinister tactics and his very clear desire for what prods him into action. As the story unfolds and he begins to interact with Bella, my curiosity is seriously peaked, as I begin to realize I really don’t know where this is going to go – but damn if I’m not excited to find out!

This is by far the darkest, most detailed story I have ever read in FF and I am loving every minute of it. It is definitely not for the faint of heart or the weak stomach. However, if you love an impeccably written story that takes you places you never go…this is for you! To say I’m impressed is an understatement! I feel like I’m reading a published novel.

Burning the Edges by gangsterdorothy

August 28, 2009 by · Leave a Comment

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4869681/1/Burning_The_Edges


Official Description: Bella is an anti-social pyro with a colorful personality. However, she soon begins to make friends, face enemies, learn what her family means, and finds out some things she never knew she was missing in her life. AH, AU, OOC mostly for Bella.

Don’t miss the outtakes, Trimming the Edges.

Ooohlalaaa says:  Burning the Edges is an adorable, coming to age story about an anti-social Bella who’s obsessed with fire (hence the title) and the ups and downs that she faces as she makes new friends and breaks out of her shell.

There are a number of reasons why I love this story. The first one being gangsterdorothy’s writing. Often times I find it hard to get into a story from the beginning because writers tend to throw in lots of unnecessary details in order to introduce their characters and their plot. Her writing is straightforward, to the point, and completely effective without being wordy, holding your attention from the very first chapter. 

Secondly, I adore her characterization of Bella. She’s a social outcast/pyromaniac who’s grumpy, lovable, witty, and endearing. Although she has her issues and often gets picked on, she isn’t bratty or excessively self-pitying. Her internal monologue is funny and always amusing, and it gives a good insight into how naïve she is.

Third, the plot of this story pulls you in from the get go, and luckily she had a good number of chapters up when I began reading. For me, what’s been captivating about this story so far isn’t just her relationship with Edward; it’s her relationship with herself and how she’s transformed since the beginning of the story that’s kept me intrigued. 

Of course, her bond with Edward is well developed, ingenuous, and realistic, and the UST is adorable- you probably need to read it to understand what I mean by that. Also very well developed are her connections to her friends, which often times gets overlooked in stories. I’m just as intrigued reading Bella’s scenes with Alice as I am reading her scenes with Edward. The author weaves twists and turns into each character’s back story, and there are a bunch of little mysteries that I’m dying to find out about. Overall, it’s a well told, fun and easy read, which isn’t too emotionally draining (yet), and gets better and better with every chapter.

RedVelvetHeaven says: Have you ever read a fic that grabbed you from the beginning and made you wonder at it’s simplicity, only for you to realize it’s anything but simple? ‘Burning the Edges’ did this to me! I was just reading along, enjoying the scenery…trying my best to figure out what Bella gains from burning things then BAM! The subtle beauty of this story slammed me! And then enters licorice boy…gah! Adding to the mix of amazing characterization is Edward. Quirky, quiet, mysterious Edward. The story is written from BPOV so we really see her, begin to understand her…but E…he’s a mystery. A black licorice smelling mystery! Gangsterdorthy lines the periphery of this story with all the usual’s, however, they are anything but usual. She slowly and amazingly unfolds each character with impeccable timing and only reveals what she wants you to know, thus leaving you thinking, wondering, waiting for more.

This beautifully told coming of age story is filled with feeling and truth. Not your average types of characters, but quirky, cute and sometimes sad teens trying to find their way despite the hands that they’ve been dealt. I can honestly say that this is a DEAR story for me….Drop Everything And Read! And it’s really because I have no idea what Gangsterdorothy is going to do next! As fresh at chapter 24 as it was at chapter 1! I highly recommend giving this story your attention.

Passion and Disaster by ignrntslt

August 21, 2009 by · Leave a Comment

Official Description:

Jasper has a chance encounter with Edward that changes everything. Lemons! Mature content! Also be warned, the language is natural and fairly coarse, and may offend as compared with the books. I hope you’ll read on, regardless!

Whether officially announced or because it hasn’t updated in at least six months, we deem this fic to be on hiatus. If you don’t like reading stories that might not complete, you might not want to start on this one. If you feel this status is in error, let us know, and we’ll check it out.
