Fictionator Favorites Friday – 3/11/11

Kass has been partying at Mardi Gras most of this week, so we thought we’d do something a little bit different. While we aren’t recommending any new stories, we’ve got something for you! This time, it’s AH ExB fics. Some are complete, a few are WIPs, and we have a couple of one-shots, too. Whether you’re new to the fandom or just want to take a walk down memory lane, here are fifteen stories that are do-not-miss:


The Best I Ever Had by WhatsMyNomDePlume


Summary: Sex between friends complicates everything. Bella knows this. But she has no idea how much more Edward is going to complicate things.



We can barely articulate all the things we love about this fic. It’s hot. The characters have great dialogue. The plot is awesome. Edward makes us swoon. We want to kiss WhatsMyNomDePlume for this fic–repeatedly.

Click & Strum by Bratty-Vamp


Summary: Isabella was anxious to start a new life, in a new location. And she was eager to put a few more question marks in her rigid day-planner. But the guy down the hall might have presented a larger deviation from her organized life than she bargained for.



Click & Strum has a strong Bella, an enigmatic Edward, and a Rosalie that we sort of love. Bratty-Vamp always dishes out an amazing story, and this one is a do-not miss as well.

Fall to Ruin One Day by sleepyvalentina


Summary: He wanted to be the most powerful man on earth. As far as she was concerned, he already was. Love. Longing. A decade of regret. Time changes nothing…or does it?



Sleepyvalentina has this ability to create characters you identify with. Such is the case (for us, anyway) with all of her stories. This Bella is awesome, probably one of our favorites ever, because of the fact that she’s tough and her younger self possesses the same young naivety we all did at one time. The way the story’s written between past and present is creative and every single chapter has the ability to make us laugh, cry or pant like we’re in heat.

Summary: Bad Bella Good Edward Forced Christianity Awesome One Shot. Winner of the “Twi-High Anonymous Challenge.” Rated for teenagers doing grownup stuff.



This one-shot is one of our faves. Snarky Bella loves the challenge that chaste Edward presents. It’s funny and hot, and we hope you’ll check it out.

The Mirrors by AdorableCullens


Summary: Teddy’s secret and magical childhood is lost when a family heirloom is destroyed, changing his life forever. Now an adult, can Edward open himself back up to magic and love when he meets a beautiful – and hauntingly familiar – woman in real life?

Mutually Assured Destruction by jandco


Summary: I’ve plucked the line “You’re my brand of heroin” and applied it to an all human universe. No drug use.



We bit off our nails waiting for updates when Mutually Assured Destruction was a work in progress. When they came, they killed us, but left us begging for more. Luckily, you get to read this in its entirety. One of the best fics ever, we hope that all of our readers will check this out.

Word Count: 21,293


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.
