Moment in Time by Yogacat (”banner” done by me quickly, because I didn’t have anything to go with the story) Summary: “Time is eternal. It never stops, always passes. Sometimes, there is not enough and sometimes, time never heals.” Twilight – Rated: M – Romance/Angst – Words: 15,156 – Bella & Edward Hello all!
First, I’d like to apologize for last week’s lack of fic recommendation. I was busy camping out for the London WFE premiere and I promise to do a post on this by the end of the week (with some great pictures as well)! It’s getting harder for me to pick stories because some or most of the things I read are either in progress or very M-rated and I know that the ladies here prefer Complete and less graphic stories. (By the way, if you want some good lemony ones, write to me in the comments). Also, I am waiting for a fic to be completed (only a chapter + epi left) to recommend it to you, it’s AMAZING and I can’t wait to share it with you! The story I’ve picked this Monday is a one-shot, I found it a few days ago and then fangirled about it all night. It involves something that some of you may not be comfortable with – adultery. To be honest, I am all against it, for reasons this is not the place to discuss, but it’s different in this story. You’ll see when you read it, I just thought I should warn you. Please give it a chance though. Why you should read it: It is beautiful. It is heart-breaking. It is heart-warming. It is need, passion, happiness, sorrow, whispered words, meaningful looks, a connections established at first glance… It will make you cry so hard but it will make you all warm on the inside as well. Written for the Never Ever Happily Ever After contest, this story will give you what it promises – no happy ending. You know it but you keep reading, because it draws you in. It’s powerful, it’s magical, it’s one of the best one shots I’ve ever read. I know it’s sad, but please read it. I’m also aware that most of you prefer sweet, romantic fics, but just like in real life, not all love stories can have their happy endings… Until next Monday! |

Rated: M – Romance/Family – Words: 114,995 – Bella & Edward – Complete On the eve of a wedding, a chance encounter in a piano bar leads to a weekend of passion. When faced with the consequences, will Bella and Edward overcome their differences and focus on what’s really important in life? Why you should read it: Sydney Alice has quickly become one of my favourite fanfic authors out there and if you’ve read anything by her, you’ll know why. Her one-shots are amazing, but so are her longer stories and “Songbird” is a brilliant example for that. Don’t let the steamy first couple of chapters scare you away – this is not one of those plotless stories. It’s about two people’s journey to happiness, how they grow up together and overcome their insecurities. There are many intertwined stories in “Songbird” and each of them has a purpose – to make the characters grow, fight their fears, allow themselves to love truly, madly and deeply. There’s an added bonus – as many of Sydney’s stories, this one comes with a playlist – and it’s beautiful! Each chapter has its song and once again, it’s great to see how perfectly they work together! Read it – I promise you won’t be disappointed! It made me cry, laugh, clap my hands excitedly…it’s simply wonderful! |

This is a Carlisle and Esme Fic but don’t let that stop you from reading. It is no secret that I love the stories Art After 5 and Counterpoint and this is the tale of the Carlisle and Esme from that world. You do not need to read either of the other stories to enjoy this one but it does add something extra if you do. This is by far my favorite Carlisle and Esme that I have read in any fic. Take a chance and you just may fall in love too. Enjoy! |

Ladies, I know that all the fics we recommend are amazing, but this… THIS one is beyond words. I can’t describe it very well, it’s so unique and touching! Please give it a go, it won’t take more than 40 minutes! PS. Get some tissues! You’ll need them!
Blinkie by Rose Arcadia Disjointed by Simone and Marie Rated: M – Drama/Angst – Chapters: 21 – Words: 12,375 - Edward & Bella – Complete One Decision. Seven POVs. This is the aftermath. Canon Pairings, All Human, Rated M for Language WHY you should read it (my review, borrowed from the Avante Garde Awards) Disjointed may be short, but it is immensely powerful. And I mean powerful enough to leave you thinking about it, hurting over it, crying over it and needing more. The story is heart-breaking and it definitely ignites an internal conflict – whose side are you on? What would you do in this situation? Would you forgive? While you’re left there getting a headache over what you ‘re feeling (sadness? anger? pity? compassion?), the characters go through the very same process of discovering how they feel about everything that’s happening. Usually, more than two points of view in a fic can get confusing, even messy. But it is precisely the 7 points of view that make this fic to unique and heart-wrenching. Not only do you see the story through a different lens but you also get an idea about the complexity of what has happened. Just like life itself, it’s not all black and white – accusations are easy to make, but everyone has a role to play, a price to pay and consequences to endure. Each of the POVs is written uniquely – there’s no confusion between the characters, because their strong personalities shape the tone and atmosphere of the chapters. It truly feels like you’re in their heads, feeling their pain as if it was yours. I can’t urge you enough to go read it! If you need the biggest reason of all, it’s this: Disjointed will make you re-consider your views on love, friendship, duty, guilt and atonement. After all, are we even capable to judge who deserves forgiveness? Also, Simone and Marie are two wonderful ladies! Show them some love – read and review, the story is worth it! |

So I read this in a day. I loved everything about it. It is smart, real and short. Sometimes I don’t have it in me to read a 40 chapter story. This was perfect. It gave me everything I wanted and needed without excess. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did! |

A few thing this week. Here is some Em/Rose for you. It is Beautifully told. Now I have a favor to ask. I discovered a contest that I fell in love with and am begging for more entries. Who doesn’t Love a Fairytale? Contest I am not connected with it in any way other then wanting more Fairy Tales told with Twi Folks. They are my favorite thing to read ever. The Contest Welcomes Pairing of all kinds and is being done anonymously. (Meaning no one will know who the author is until after the contest.) That is a great thing for first time writers bc it evens the playing field. I did a whole post here about it if you need ideas or want a laugh. |

So on this day of love I thought this fest was perfect. It has something for everyone. I would take a look at the first post that explains how Live Journal works if you are unfamiliar with it. Here is a list of the “tag” so you can see all the kinds of stories on there. Here is a bit more on what this fest is about:
I hope all find something there to enjoy and have a great day! |

Everyone is just given hard things deal with, and deal with it they do. It is told from Jasper’s point of view which adds to the fun. Welcome to the wild wild west. Enjoy! |

Banner by Liliana.
Blinkie by RoseArcadia (who has a ton of amazing blinkies for many, many wonderful fics!) Unexpected Circumstances by Savage7289 Rated: M – English – Angst/Romance -Words: 72,115 – IN PROGRESS RATED M! NO ON UNDER 18 When a knight from another kingdom wins his choice of bride, he claims the handmaid instead of the princess. Isabella finds herself married and tossed into the middle of political schemes. What happens when she can’t give him the one thing he must have?
Why you should read it: I found this fic only 3 days ago and read it between the ridiculous hours of 4:30am and 8:30am – this is how good it is! The concept may seem weird, especially if you’ve never read a historical period fic before (for which I’ve had a little obsession for the past couple of weeks). But if you try to feel the vibe of the time and place, you’ll see what a great read this is. Prince Edward will make you angry, disappointed even, but you’ll also fall in love! Personally, I try my best to remember that Bella has a completely different view of the world to mine (DUH!) and understand her conflicted and frankly quite scared soul. GO read it – their journey together will make you smile Also, this has to be one of the best Esmes I’ve ever met!

So I firsts saw this story over on Phase Fics. I was looking for something different and more Twilight cannon. This fic was so refreshing. I do love Edward and Bella but I need to mix things up every now and then. I hope you all enjoy this one! (Don’t be afraid to take a chance!) |
