Why this fic pwns Jean:

Summary: Bella, recovering from a broken heart, meets Edward, who isolates himself emotionally. Their attraction is immediate, but can they be friends and lovers – without the love? BxE, all the regs, some drama, some funny, lemony, language AH
Why this fic pwns Misti: It owned me from the Prologue. It just sucked me right in & I had to know what happened to these characters to get where they are. And I am so glad that I did. Please give this spectacular story a chance because it definitely needs more readers and more reviews.


Breach by: Catastrophia

Twilight – Rated: M – English – Romance/Angst – Chapters: 4 – Words: 14,315 – Reviews: 91 – Updated: 3-15-11 – Published: 2-23-11 – Bella & Edward

Why this fic pwns blue022: Bella has low self-esteem, Edward hates how he wants her. It’s a lemony fic with an interesting plot. The need to uncover the mystery of Edward is what keeps me reading. Give it a look!


Come Find Me by: Samrosey
Summary: Come Find Me » Alone, cold, too many rooms for one man. The black sky, lost and inviting. He can’t see what’s there but wants to want what’s past it. She’s lost and longs to be found, terrified and stuck in limbo, numb. Feel me. Come find me. AH. Edward and Isabella.
Why this fic pwns Lauren: Come Find Me pwns me because it is absolutely amazing. Samrosey’s writing style is absolutely beautiful, and every word she writes has a purpose. Everything written is tasteful and creative, and it’s almost as if the story is just one gigantic poem. Samrosey’s words accurately convey Bella and Edward’s love, and you can tell that every word written is done so with the undertone of their attraction. The plot is very unique, and ties in some canon elements that you don’t see in many other stories.


Full Disclosure by: Betty Smith
Summary: When his high school love becomes a White House Press Secretary, BBC reporter, Edward Cullen, pursues Bella Swan once again. Heartbreak, time & their jobs are between them, but they have a bond forged from grief & comfort. A love story in 2 parts. B/EPOV
Why this fic pwns Melg0510: This fic has one of the most honest and true to life teenage relationships I have read in a long time – and it’s so refreshing to read a teenage Edward and Bella acting like actual teenagers. They are both unsure, awkward, sometimes completely clueless and rude. More however importantly when they do get together they love each other hard emotionally and psychically.
The fic starts in 2009 with BBC reporter Edward tentatively trying to reconnect with White House Press Secretary Bella. The following chapters chronicles how Edward’s and Bella’s relationship began in high school from locker buddies to lovers. This fic draws you in as you read about Bella struggling with a traumatic loss and her courage and perhaps foolishness to pursue a relationship with Edward who is bound to return to England within 6 months of their love affair beginning. I love how they both make mistakes, stoopid mistakes yet still feel compelled to be together. It’s beautiful writing and Betty Smith had me so addicted to these two discovering first love together.
The fic is currently moving again into 2009 and I can’t wait to find out how E/B both ended up estranged yet still connected together via their occupations. If you read The Gentleman from Washington state then you know how on the money Betty Smith is writing in the political sphere. Adult Edward’s on a mission to get back Bella and I full believe that it’s going to be compelling.


If You Were Mine by: ThexInvisiblexGirl
Summary: AU/AH. Bella, an aspiring ballet dancer, and Edward, a prominent musician, have met briefly two years ago. They meet again in Juilliard, and sparks fly. When they finally get together, can a cruel twist of fate tear them apart?
Why this fic pwns Ursula: Typical drama/romance story that has a slow start but ends with a simple exciting story, without a far fetched storyline or twist, that will have the reader rooting for the couple all the way through. And the sequel isn’t bad either! The author doesn’t get the reviews/credit thats deserved for the story. Sort of feels like i’m reading twilight again from a romance perspective.


Illicitus Amare by: IllicitWriter
Summary: The love that lasts the longest is the love that can never be. An unexpected confession leads to a forbidden relationship. If discovered, both could face dire consequences, one that society proscribes. AH E/B OOC Adult Consensual Incest See Profile & A/N
Twilight – Rated: M – English – Angst/Romance – Chapters: 11 – Words: 61,986 – Reviews: 220 – Updated: 12-17-10 – Published: 11-12-10 – Edward & Bella

Why this fic pwns KMH0321: Where to begin…This is definitely something I never imagined reading but it was rec’d to me a few times through FB and I decided to give it a try. Wow, I must say that this is not what I ever imagined it to be. The author is pointing and shaking her finger at society and the law by saying it has too much power and not enough common sense when it comes to illegalizing sexual acts. It looks as though our government bases the law on their own morals and religious beliefs. It parallels with homosexuality, racism, interracial relationships etc, which she pointed out, and how we once demoralized either their color, sexual preferences or partner choices. I am reconsidering how we, as a society, put labels, faith and fear on acts that make us uncomfortable because of certain traits, heritage, gender or sexual choices.
You can tell that she has put in quite a bit of time and research, but she also has presented it in a well-written manner. It is definitely NOT smutty or tasteless, which was my first assumption when I passed it up…well, and the fact that the topic did not initially appeal to my senses. I encourage the open-minded readers out there to take a chance on what is being said, forget that the topic has to do with incest, just humor the bigger picture involved. The author has a way of making you feel comfortable, instead of constantly squirming, at least enough to stay with it. She commented about taking a chance on her story–You have nothing to lose, only something to gain–I wasn’t disappointed and I definitely gained.


In Too Deep by: EdwardsBloodType
Summary: Too much to drink,a wounded heart, and a chance encounter with his father’s mistress, lead Eddie to make a bad decision. And when he falls in love with her daughter unknowingly, he gets himself in so deep he can’t get out. AH/AU Graphic language,lemons.
Why this fic pwns Melg0510: First off, I love this Bella. She is spirited, intelliegent, kind hearted and genuinely funny. I think it’s because of this Bella, I’ve been falling for this fic harder and harder each update.
The story begins with a pathetic and lonely Edward who has no meaningful connections with anyone in his life. He walks a fine line of resentment with his father who funds his life and he seems unwilling to move past a long time ago bad break up to connect emotionally to anyone. Yeah he’s a little bit of a manwhore here.
He sleeps with his dad’s former mistress, out of loneliness and probably a ‘F – you’ to his father but as soon as the affair starts it’s over as he comes to his senses. Around this time he also meets Bella, but Bella, unbeknownst to him, is actually the daughter of the Cougar he just broke up with. Uh-oh
So now we get to see Edward falling for Bella, whilst we the reader know this is doomed to blow up in his face. Edward who is holidaying on Fire Island feels and incredible attraction to neighbor Bella and is trying his hardest to woo this sassy girl. I love how the story turns to Edward wanting to do right this time by Bella because he feels an incredible pull to her. Who could blame him when she is such a breath of fresh air:
“She’s making me fuckin’ shy and shit! What is this?
She hums in my ear, wrapping her arms around my head. “The whole honest gentlemen thing is sexy and sweet…and very overrated.” I snort, because I know she’s kidding with me. Maybe.
“Come on. Touch a boob. You know you wanna.” She waggles her eyebrows, sticking her chest out as she motions with her hand for me to take advantage. I don’t know what to do, so I squeeze her boob, which is very, very nice by the way, and I make a honking sound as I do it. Don’t ask why.
She laughing hysterically one minute and the next she’s attacking me, growling and pinning me down on the bed, like some helpless prey in the claws of a lioness.”
The dynamic is between the 2 is honest and flirty, you really get a sense of why it is that Edward is falling for her. Whilst I know there will be trouble sometime in the future. I am completely enjoying the unfurling sweetness of this burgeoning relationship.


In Your Eyes by: MoDunk
Summary: He’s older and a little awkward. She’s young and beautiful. What would he do to win her heart?
Why this fic pwns Manderbetis: Twice a week updates, a little Nerdward and one awkward handshake. What’s not to love??


Insatiable Desires by: ItzMegan73
Summary: What happens when the paths of two teenage hypersexuals cross?
Why this fic pwns petrarch72: I love everything that ItzMegan73 writes but this one takes the cake. Written in BPOV/EPOV, which is a departure from her other stories, she tells the tale of sex addict Bella and pervert king Edward. Both are in high school and Edward is not what you expect… at all. His nickname for the fic is Poonslapward. That’s all I’m going to say.

ID is bracing, biting, funny and oddly hot. If you’re looking for a new flavor of fic, this will definitely not disappoint. 7 chapters posted so far and they are exclusive to ItzMegan’s site (www.megatales.com).


L’Hotel by: samrosey
Summary: “Excuse me miss, your room is ready for you now.” The doors chime, alerting them to their floor number. He inserts the key card and the light flickers green. Will she enjoy her stay?
Why this fic pwns Jaime Arkin: *ahem* Fancy hotel, Edward in white dress shirts and ties, glasses… *swoon* samrosey tells the story beautifully and there is a bit of mystery and intrigue as well. She’s writing this based on a banner prompt and it’s so so so good!


Life in postscript by: Flibbertigidget
Summary: He was her fantasy, her dream. He also wasn’t real…until he was standing in front of her…and she couldn’t stand him. A tale of growing up, going corporate and finding true love—if you don’t kill him first. AH. Rated M for adult language/situations.
Why this fic pwns babayaga: A really sweet and funny story so far !A wave of fresh air!


Of Swans and Silence by: Edward’sChipper
Summary: To most, Bella Swan is the image of the quintessential businesswoman. But buried deep behind a thick skin and designer clothes, she hides secrets both inside and outside the office. Until she loses a promotion, and gets a new boss.
Why this fic pwns Arabella: The tension and power struggle between E&B is so hot. Bella craves control over all areas of her life, and I love how Edward is her one weakness.


On Grey Mornings by: littlesecret84
Summary: Bella’s tryst with power made her infamous. Hounded and ashamed, she’s back in Forks to start over again, but where do you find a clean slate when everyone who sees you already knows your biggest secret?
Why this fic pwns Jaime Arkin: This was the final chapter of this story and it’s written beautifully and I still haven’t been able to leave a review for it. It’s not your typical wrap up, but it’s perfectly done for this story. This is a story where it’s not important to like and agree with everything the characters do, instead it puts a spotlight on the differences in how a person is perceived & judged after something happens based on who they are and what their gender is. I absolutely adored this story from start to finish and everyone should read it!


Under The Bordwalk by: Robicorn & Meguhbot
Summary: With the summer brings new people, and with the fall, an empty space they once were. See what happens when Bella meets Edward and one harmless lie turns their world upside down. Taboo/Teacher student. lemons. Be warned.
Why this fic pwns Jujubee: It’s one of those stories where you FEEL the character’s pain. Readers are able to relate to the characters, and if you can’t relate then you can’t imagine going through something so drama filled. It’s BEAUTIFULLY written, and has everyone on FF going crazy about it!

The Tutor by ItzMegan73

Official Description: New student Bella Swan needs to break out of her shy exterior and her guidance counselor has the answer: tutoring. And Bella is too new to know she shouldn’t want to tutor Edward Cullen.
Word Count: 160,023


If we are all lucky, we experience at least once meeting someone who inexplicably changes the course and fabric of our lives forever. The Tutor is just that kind of story. Bella is that person for Edward. She not only helps him work towards something he needed (literacy) to step into the life he didn’t know that he could dream of, but opened him up to the love of the people around him. She helps him grow into someone who learns that help doesn’t equal charity. That opportunity can be found if you allow others access to yourself.

This tale had lots of hurt, but also some laughs. Like when Edward walked in on Esme and Carlisle, Carlisle’s response simply is, “teach him not to come barging in…” LOL! Yet, one of my favorite moments was their first kiss. ItzMegan73‘s use of description and detail had me holding my breath and then melting into arms that were not holding me. I felt the tingle in my lips and the sensation of being consumed. It is delicious.

In the rocky course of Bella and Edward’s relationship in this story, Edward destroys his soon to be awesome vehicle in a rage at loosing Bella. In a rare responsible moment, he solicits a job at a local mechanic shop with the help of Emmett. He gets an internship there to work off the cost of repairing the car. I mention this, because this moment leads to one of my favorite characters in this story, Brian, the shop owner. I think he is the first person who has ever not treated Edward with kid gloves. He makes him face his illiteracy, and not hide behind excuses. He shows him that it is okay to ask for help, but not to hide behind an emphatic “I can’t”. He is a mentor for Edward. He gives him motivation to educate himself, because even a job that requires your hands, also requires your brain. Love, love, love this character.

There was so much growth in this story, not only for Edward and Bella, but the side characters too. Rosalie learned consequence. Alice learned strength. Jasper learned self-worth. This story and its inhabitants had a definable arc that I happily chased after from start to finish.

The Cannabean Betrothal by ItzMegan73

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5354724/1/The_Cannabean_Betrothal


Official Description: Edward has immersed himself in the Cannabean way to ward off the hurt of a life-changing experience; but an unexpected betrothal teaches him how little he knows about life. There is no abuse in this story.


jgulia45 says: I started reading this story after falling in love with ItzMegan73’s other story, A Rough Start. I am always looking for fic that isn’t your run of the mill high school or grown up storyline. This one is SO different. While some people may be turned off by hearing how this Cannabean lifestyle is run, I love learning about it. Although I haven’t fact checked the author, I am pretty certain she has done her research. The most intriguing thing to me in this story is Edward. I have no idea why he is so jaded, but he has thrown himself into this lifestyle as a way to protect his heart from being stomped on again. We still don’t know the details on what happened, but you can tell he was wounded pretty badly. As a result, he’s all but obsessed with following the Cannabean lifestyle to a fault. Enter Bella; and while she is devoted to the lifestyle, ItzMegan does a good job of showing that she does have other ambitions that put her outside of Edward’s small little box. It usually only takes me about 10 minutes to quit what I’m doing when I get an alert for this story. READ IT!

Kassiah says: I have to tell you, when I first heard the name of this fic, I thought it was some kind of Jamaican Wedding Adventure. Since I am close to being hospitalized for my obsession with A Rough Start, I decided to give it a go. I am so happy that I decided to read it!

The amazing ItzMegan73 describes Cannabean:

A clannish society, often compared to Amish or Mennonite communities. Although more accepting of modern conveniences such as electricity, technology and the like, Cannabeans do not subscribe to the mainstream ideals that plague modern marriage, nor do they believe in the dissolution of marriage. Their daily living is centered on their faith, family and a firm foundation in the Cannabean Way.

ItzMegan has well-developed characters, excellent dialogue, and amazing descriptions, yet still manages to keep us on the edge of our seats with the mystery and beauty of this tale. It’s intriguing and has one of the most original plot lines that I have ever come across. It’s chaste, yet hot in its own right.

When asked by Charlie why he should be allowed to court Bella, Edward’s response was absolutely swoon-worthy:

“Sir, I can’t imagine what it would be like to love, nurture and teach a daughter from birth, and then have some man sit before you and try to qualify himself as worthy to be in her life,” Edward paused, already hating his answer and not being able to take it back. “Bella is the epitome of what any Cannabean man could hope to encounter, if only to know what kind of woman was truly intended for man. She’s kind and giving, respectful and reverent; even when she thinks no one is watching… And, sir, I will expire my last breath striving to be the man worthy of that.”

I read a lot of stories and this is one of the few that without a doubt, I drop everything to read as soon as it updates. I am refreshed by both Edward and Bella’s characters, and I cannot wait to see what is going to happen with this story. Definitely a must read!

A Rough Start by ItzMegan73

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5319052/1/A_Rough_Start


Official Description: Overnight irresponsible Edward goes from bachelor to father of a 5 yr old. Meanwhile responsible, prepared Bella begins her first job as Kindergarten teacher at Forks Elementary. When irresponsible meets the epitome of responsible, sparks will fly!


Kassiah says: I love ItzMegan73‘s story The Tutor, so I was excited to check out A Rough Start. This is an Edward unlike any that I have ever encountered: employed as laborer at a lumber mill, no money, no real support system, and no real responsibilities. The story starts off with a visit from a social worker, informing him that the mother of the son he never knew about has been in a fatal car accident. Edward goes to pick him up and struggles to deal with balancing work and having a child and all of the responsibility that goes with it.

Bella is a new teacher, and immediately takes to Edward’s son when he is dropped off before school allows, comes with no lunch or money, and seems so sad. Even though Edward calls her “delirious bitch that has lost all touch with reality,” she does everything she can to help him. I can’t wait for them to get together! *squee*

I love the dialogue and the imagery that ItzMegan73 uses throughout the story. DILFward pwns my ass, and it is so different to come across an Edward who doesn’t have anything figured out or anyone to help him. I am excited to see where this goes, and I think you will love it too. Read it. ;)
