A place for me to keep track of the stories I read. I don't mean to offend anyone with my rambles or posts. Before I go on further; I would like to thank the authors for putting up their stories.
A quick warning. Some of my rambles (or even the way I label the posts) may contain spoilers. The rambles are my way of leaving myself a trail to follow in the future, if I want to reread the story (there are some that I read again and again and again...)

If It's You, I'm Willing To Do Anything
Summary: How should Bella react when Edward, her childhood friend, confessed his love to her? BxE One-shot. Full Summary inside. Please read, it won't take you very long.
Ramble: A sweet school love story.
Falling Into You
Summary: "Well, I have to get my big speech sorted and plus, you'll never know what interesting person you'll bump into while pacing and rehearsing a speech…" I trailed off when a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around me. "Hmmm...My thoughts exactly."
Ramble:A fun AH story. Kinda which that more details were given for the plot. Interesting, how the story begins and ends with similar words.

Look Who's Realizing Now
Summary: Edward gets stuck in Denver while on a business trip and Bella is back in Chicago giving birth to their first child. Not a good situation. My entry for the Fandom for Preemies compilation.
Ramble: A story about realizing what really is important in life. That, and how well people can act sometimes, especially when they believe they are doing the right ting. It would be interesting to see what comes after this story; if the changes mentioned really changes the old habits.
Sugar
Summary: "I need your cock," I blurt, my eyes still connected with his, well, cock. I hear a strangled cough from Hottie Neighbor Guy before I realize what I've just said. "Sugar," I correct & hold out my measuring cup. "I clearly meant sugar." Rated M. Obviously
Ramble: This story moves really fast. It deserves the M rating, and has a few instances, that embarrasses Bella, but is really funny!
Can I Keep You?
Summary: "See I told you that I was a good dancer. Can I keep you?" gasp "Edward!" "Hello Isabella." My first fanfic enjoy rated M but should really be rated T
Ramble: I agree with the summary, the rating for this story should be lowered, that or something can be added to the story. This is a really short story, and has a really sweet plot, but I wish more happened...
Memories
Summary: Bella and Edward have been together for 10 years, as they look to the future, they look back at just how they got to where they are. 12 Days of Christmas Writing Challenge Entry
Ramble: An quick look at Edward and Bella's relationship. This is a really sweet holiday story, that is a really good re-read story.
Wednesday, December 22, 2010
Six
Summary: Six years, six weeks, six perfect words. A summer wedding provides the perfect opportunity for everything to finally fall into place for Edward and Bella. Source of Inspiration: rowboat photo
Ramble: There are a lot of 6's in this story. Personally, I found it a little shorter than I thought it would be. It covers the interactions between Edward and Bella really well. Shows how powerful moving and a wedding can be.
Misguided Arrangement
Summary: Isabella Swan has never measured up to her families expectations. An arranged marriage to Edward Cullen provides a lucrative business arrangement between families, but will the secret Edward keeps destroy them all? O/S Written for Fandom3Premies Rated M
Ramble: This story has an element of surprise. I guess the part, where Bella had to go take classes to become more ladylike gave the story an older feel to it...
Monday, December 20, 2010
English Class
Summary: English class. Edward as Bella's teacher. You get the idea. Read it and review. It's sexy. One shot. AH. Characters are Stephanie Meyers.
Ramble: First time teacher Edward, who has a soft spot for his best student Bella. Jacob makes an appearance as the annoying friend of Bella who tries to protect her, much to her frustration. A high school story that pretty much ends after graduation.
Meant To Be
Summary: Bella and Edward are in a relationship that Edward can't seem to commit to. Bella wants more, can she convince him that love is the best feeling in the world, or will he grow tired of her wanting more? Are they doomed, or are they meant to be? AH. RATED M
Ramble: Have to admit that this story is a little shorter than I expected it to be. A really quick, slightly lemony story!
Unthinkable Oneshot
Summary: Bella Swan 22 years old and a virgin. Tired of the teasing of her best friends, she decides it is time to let it go. As her and her friends plan to go to the club Friday night, Bella is womanized by someone she least expects it. Language&Lemons!
Ramble: A really fun story, that partly does not really make sense to me, but I still really like it. The thing I do not really get, is why the name stood out (look at the label)... Other than that, the story is well written.
Leave From The Army
Summary: Edward is on leave from the army. Bella is nervously waiting for her husband, finally getting to see him after a long time. But when Edward gets home, he has a surprise for Bella. Oneshot. Cannon.
Ramble: I only have one question about this story; what was Ruth doing at the airport? It is probably just because the plot is focused more on Edward and Bella and Ruth was mainly there to comfort Bella so that she would not go crazy while waiting. There are a few flashbacks to some of the more important parts of the relationship.
The Naughty List
Summary: Bella only wants one thing under her tree this year- take a wild guess what it is. Canon but AU timeline E never left . Holiday lemony goodness- only up for a week, so enjoy!
Ramble: Although this story will not be up for too long, since I read it, here it is. A quick story about a girl trying to get off the naughty list, so that she gets her present...

Underworld
Summary: Entry for 'Two for the Price of One contest' - Their boss set their teeth on edge. Their boss loved to make their work days miserable. Their boss, they found, liked to be tied up and dominated. What would you do? J/E/B
Ramble: I actually found this as a contest entry. Although personally, I do not read that many stories that have more than two people in a relationship, this one is pretty good. Slowly, I am starting to read different types of story, and logging it here, so here is a new category, again. There is a little business/job related details in the story, but not a lot, and what is given in that sense is more for context.
And so the Lion Fell in Love with the Fluffer
Summary: Edward is a pornstar. Bella is a fluffer. One shot. Slightly crack, slightly hot, mostly fun. M for immature words and dirty body parts. Handcuff me for being a dirty bird.
Ramble: I will probably have to read the story again to see who Mike recommended Bella to, but other than that, it is a really good quick read that was easy to understand.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Summary: One-shot. Edward, a lonely soldier in Iraq, can't make it home for Christmas. But a naughty picture of his wife Bella and some alone time are enough for him to have a happy holiday of his own. Rated M for lemons. A Christmas gift to you from me!
Ramble: By the end of this story, I was expecting Bella to randomly appear in the middle of Iraq. The summary for the story describes the story really well.
Garage Play
Summary: My one-shot contribution to the Haiti compilation that was done awhile ago. Rated MA. Edward needing work on his car finds a garage and a nice surprise when he shows up.
Ramble: The title hints at some kind of play in the story, so that is always a good sign. This one has a very interestingly named garage. At first the characters seemed a little out of character, but all gets cleared up by the end of the story...
Monday, December 13, 2010
My Santa Baby
Summary: Edward has a bad day at work. See what Bella does to help him get rid of his tension. Longer summary inside. Merry Christmas!
Ramble: Vampire doctors. It ties in really well with Christmas, and shows a glimpse of what vampires do to relax after a mentally draining day.
Sunday, December 12, 2010
Christmas Wrapping
Summary: Bella and Edward have been like "two ships passing in the night" all year. What happens when you add a sprinkling of Christmas magic? This one-shot was first posted on the Southern Fanfiction Review's 2010 25 Days of Edward-mas. Rated: M. Complete.
Ramble: I really like how this song is incorporated with the story. This story is done in Edward and Bella's perspective, and includes situations that are really possible.
Friday, December 10, 2010
Broken
Summary: Can Bella's education as an RN prepare her for the struggle she will face caring for a wounded, traumatized vet? Or, better yet, will the war prepare Edward for the internal struggle he will battle with his pretty new nurse?
Ramble: A story that really highlights how difficult people can be sometimes. Edward has some problems in this story, that he and Bella have to try to meet in the middle for what they want. The story itself is a longer one shot and seems to speed up a lot towards the end the ending is really funny and quick. I do wish that this story is a little longer, perhaps covering some of the later days in Edward and Bella's lives and relationship down the line, but that is something totally different.
Tuesday, December 7, 2010
HOT FOR A TEACHER
Summary: Isabella Swan is Beverly Hills High School's It-Girl. She spends one amazing night with a gorgeous stranger. On the first day of school, she is caught off guard as she meets the new Music teacher, Mr. Cullen.
Ramble: The summary is pretty accurate for this story. It does kind of leave the end of the story up in the air, but the author is working on a sequel to the story, so it makes it a little better.
Sunday, December 5, 2010
Mine
Summary: A one shot about Bella who is looking through photos and is having flashbacks about the time they were taken. Based off the song Mine by Taylor Swift. Summary sounds bad but its a good one shot. Rated M for language. No lemons.
Ramble: A nice trip down memory lane through pictures. Getting lost in doing something, not knowing how much time really passes. Not only that, but the author reminds readers not to look for lemons right from the beginning.
Can't Get Enough Of You
Summary: Bella has to stay behind after class about a test with Mr. Cullen. Lemons.
Ramble: For this story, I have a similar problem of it being too short. I like the plot and the details that are given in the story, but wish that there is more. Perhaps expanding it into a longer story since there seems to be so much potential for that...
If Only in My Dreams
Summary: What happens when you mix Christmas, Edward, & penetration? One-shot written for Southern Fan Fiction Review. Bella/Edward, AH, Rated M for lemons!
Ramble: They meet in school, and later in the office, and yet nothing happens until she realizes he is quitting. In an attempt to try out a relationship, she visits Santa, hoping to get help from him. Later, both parties realize that things could have been different, a long time ago if they acted on their feelings in the beginning.
Ho, Ho Ohh!
Summary: Christmas comes early for Bella as she visits a toy department and has her own visit to Santa. Every woman's fantasy comes true as Santa gives her his own private present. Christmassy fluff! Rated M
Ramble: One thing about this story... it is really short!! A little to short for me. Other than that, it is a really good story.
Jingle Bella All the Way OS
Summary: After 4 years of dating and 4 years of dodging around the main issues of their relationship, Bella snaps. Is this a good or bad thing for Edward? Starts out nice but don't be fooled. Edward's PoV, AU, AH Naughty entry for the 'Naught Nice Holiday Contest'
Ramble: Edward and Bella have been in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship for a while. Read on to see what becomes of the relationship.
Overdue
Summary: Bella Swan is the new librarian at Forks High. It's the last day of school before the Christmas holiday and most students have turned in their books, except for Mr. Popular Edward Cullen. What happens when Bella calls him into her office?
Ramble: Popular Edward has it all, the family, money, team captain, and good grades. Yet, he has books that have been checked out for over 6 months. What is his punishment, and why were those books checked out for so long? Read to find out.
Oh Horny Night, A Christmas Tale
Summary: Bella goes on a ski trip with her best friend Rose. Bella and Edward despise each other. What happens when they end up in a hot tub together? Rated M for language and lemons. A naughty entry for the Twi-Muses Holiday Contest.
Ramble: Towards the end of the story, Bella thinks of something that I really like. Not wanting to tell too much, she pretty much comments on how much can change over a week. There is the whole they despise each other, but do they really, or is it all an act?
Snow, Light and Angels' Flight
Summary: Bella Swan went to the Chicago Symphony with the state's Golden Boy on Christmas Eve. She left him to find Edward Cullen, the famous composer, her secret infatuation, as if he were waiting for her. 'Nice' Entry for Naughty or Nice Holdiay Contest.
Ramble: The state's golden boy in this case is Mike. By the end of the story, it is clear why Edward was described to be in such a bad mood at the beginning of the story. While it is tied in with the whole Christmas theme, I think the rating for the story can be lowered...
Wednesday, December 1, 2010
A Wimbledon Affair
Summary: Edward Cullen is coming to the end of his pro tennis career and is playing at Wimbledon, Bella Swan is currently the number 1 in the womans divison with quite a few years to go, their paths cross and romance blossoms...
Ramble: The summary for this story really sums up the story really good. There are a lot of twists and turns in this story, and is long enough to let the plot develop enough. Jasper is Edward's manager and brother, so there are some instances where he acts more of a manager than the brother Edward needs at the time.
Forever and Ever
Summary: Edward has been Bella's best friend since kindergarten, and so far he's made good on his promise to always do everything with her. But now that they're older, she finds herself wanting more. Can "forever" as just friends be enough? For The Cherry Exchange
Ramble: A story about childhood friends, how things change through the different years. While there are a few miss communications between the two friends, readers follow them as they work out the problems that arise. Two people growing up as best friends, knowing each other better than themselves; that is what this is all about.
Homeward Bound
Summary: An invitation to perform with FHS marching band has Bella recounting her memories of Edward Cullen. Is it true what they say: you can't go home again? Winner in the "I'm With the Band" O/S contest
Ramble: An interesting way to look back on the past. Flashbacks in this story are well placed and well used. Starting out with the invitation, that leads to a quick trip to all the 'important parts' of her life so far.

Gift of the Magi
Summary: My heart was back in Seattle, shattered on the floor with the glass from the picture frame. Only three years in and it looked like my marriage to Edward Masen was falling apart. Entry for Baby It's Cold Outside O/S Contest
Ramble: The title of the story reminded me of the story I read one time about the comb and watch. Once reading it for a while, I realized that it is slightly different, but the quote at the beginning of the story is what ties the title in with the whole story. The story goes through, day by day starting from six days before Christmas.
At First Sight
Summary: Bella, a personal assistant to Edward Cullen, has always hated Christmas. Can he show her the beauty of the season? ENTRY into the Baby It's Cold Outside O/S Contest
Ramble: While reading the story, I thought the story should/would have been longer than it really is. The story line and plot is rather simple, but really good. For me, it was kind of similar to what the summary hinted at, but there is a lot of room and potential for adding more to the story eventually.

Welcome to Parenthood
Summary:
Bella and Edward have known each other since they were babies. After one mistake they will have to face the consequences together alone. Will they be able to survive their mistake and stick together? AH
Ramble: So, I will probably be reading stories from this author for a bit. This one has a few similarities with the other story, that Edward and Bella pretty much grew up together. Each chapter is titled with a month. Personally, I kind of wanted the author to expand on the parents' stories, or at least a glimpse of what the grandparents told the parents towards the end of the story... Other than that, this story went with what it expected from the summary.Sunday, November 28, 2010
Secret Girlfriend
Summary:
Edward is the most popular boy in school that all the girls want, but no one knows that his father is working for the Swan's Italian mafia and he has a secret girlfriend named Bella Swan. How will they react when the news comes out.
Ramble: A nice quick story (just ten chapters). This story does have some mafia themes, but no mention of the darker side of that kind of organization. It is really similar to how I imagined it to be from the summary, with a few twists and turns.
Saturday, November 27, 2010
16 Hour Home Leave
Summary: Edward and Bella are happily married. The only problem is that Edward is in the military. But he's home for 16 hours. Well, that's as much as Bella knows. A surpise pops up, two actually. A/H, one-shot. Read and enjoy. Review.
Ramble: A nice oneshot about Edward coming back home after a tour. It is a very short story. Defiantly a quick read.
A Quiet Place
Summary: Edward, a famous actor, and Bella, a workaholic, are both looking for a quiet place. Can they find that place in each other? Entry into the Baby It's Cold Outside O/S Contest Rated M for Lem
Ramble: This story highlights how famous people are constantly hounded once recognized. For me, Bella in this case is like a wake up call to followers. A lot of times, followers forget that the famous people are human beings also, and sometimes needs their own space and privacy.
Friday, November 26, 2010
Musically Blissful
Summary: Edward and Bella grew up together. Bella gave up everything for him to go on a one year tour. At the end of that year she leaves - she can't have Edward give up his dream for her. They meet up three years later - do they still love each other? ALL BPOV.
Ramble: A rather short good story. This story is a nice short story about childhood friends. Following a group of people as they grow up from a tight knit community, and environment. Music plays a big part in this story, with a side of keeping a secret thinking that it will be for the better.
Thursday, November 25, 2010
Remember Me
Summary: "If I only got one day a year, I would make it count." One secret tree, one magic sunset, one chance to make a wish. Childhood sweethearts turned penpals, they grow up together and apart, falling in like, lust and love. E B, OOC, AH, A/J
Ramble: Meeting right before they are separated, we follow Edward and Bella from their younger days, learning more about them through the letters they write to each other. It is really fun, to 'watch' them grow from grad school to middle, and finally to college. Going through some of the changes that are expected at different times in life.
Wednesday, November 24, 2010
The Soloist
Summary: Bella begrudgingly takes in a rare bit of culture when her best friend takes her to the symphony. Sure to hate every musical minute of it, Bella finds herself surprised when she lays eyes on the guest soloist and his talented violin hands. O/S AH Lemon
Ramble: A very long one shot, but totally worth the read. It shows how classical music can be very versatile. This is the first story posted by this author, but I cannot wait to see what other story will be posted. Part of me likes how this is a finished story, but there is a bigger part of me that wished to see what will come out of this story.
Tuesday, November 23, 2010
Merry Textmas
Summary: Bella is forced to tackle the crowds on Black Friday with her best friend, Angela. Can a random text message from a wrong number change the course of her day and her life? Banter galore! AH. "Naughty" entry for the Naughty or Nice Holiday Contest
Ramble: A really cool holiday story. The story involves people getting to know each other without first knowing what the person looks like, and very much so by accident. Playfulness fills this story, and sets up for a happy holiday story.
Thursday, November 18, 2010
Since Seven
Summary: Since she was seven, Bella has been abused, and tortured. After her parents were murdered and she taken. A police force found her chained to a wall. What happens when a family of vampires become her foster family? ExB Canon pairs! ABUSE RAPE! CAUTION
Ramble: The ending of this story is used to set up for a continuation story. Before that, I really like the caution that is needed when dealing with Bella. Like, because of how careful the family is portrayed. The care that Bella is shown here is really nice. Although the whole story has a really sad mood to it, it is well written.
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Redefining Success
Summary:
**Judges' Choice Winner for the Blue-Collarward Contest** Edward is a janitor at Swan Publishing. Bella is the owner and CEO. Can Bella get past the fact Edward is stuck in a blue-collar job?
Ramble: I'm sure between the summary and some of Edward's thoughts, as readers we can come up with ideas of what is expected in the story. There are a few stories that have characters that are similar, but most of the time Edward and Bella's roles are reversed, so for me this is a pretty cool combination.
Sometime Around Midnight
Summary: Bella and Edward have been best friends for eight years and spend every New Year's together. What happens when Edward's new relationship strains their friendship? Will B lose E completely or will she get the New Year's kiss she's been waiting for?
Ramble: If the ramble is about the plot of the story, my version would not really make too much sense... This is probably due to my super low brain function right now. The story starts out going so smooth, that a problem was expected to happen in the middle before the resolution. Man, that sounds so much like the plot line, story mountain thing some of my English teachers went over...
Sunday, November 14, 2010
Sex Tips & Star Trek
Summary: *Cherry Exchange Entry* Edward's a popular radio sex therapist. Bella's his producer, best friend, & fellow Trekkie. Neither knows the other's a virgin, but a trip to New York brings surprising revelations. When it comes to love, "Resistance is futile."
Ramble: A wonderful oneshot. Incorporating school, working, friendship, and reality all into one story. Have to admit, that the whole working together, yet having romantic feelings really got me to read this story. Star Treck did not play as big a role as I expected it to in the story, but still a really good oneshot.
The Christmas Party
Summary: Written in collaboration with halfadash; a submission for the A Very Cullen Christmas contest. Bella's got one shot to make Edward hers again...will she be willing to do what it takes? Deliciously lemony, we promise.
Ramble: I am pretty sure I've read this story before, but probably before this blog was started. A daring plan that is placed into motion during a Christmas party where people are known to act differently, and more freely. At the center of attention, is Edward and Bella who were couples before, and went their separate ways for a while.
Saturday, November 13, 2010
Secret Admirer
Summary: Every year she got a valentine and she's always wondered who sent them. Will it turn out to be the one she least expected? BPOV, AH/AU fluff.
Ramble: Childhood love. Something simple, like a crush, that gets expressed once a year. The thrill of mysteries, not knowing who is doing all the work each time. A really good growing up story.
Good Vibrations
Summary: Bella and Edward are arch nemesis fan club leaders for their favorite band. When they finally meet in person they end up becoming each other's biggest fans instead.
Ramble: I didn't really get the title until the end of the story. A story that includes some internet meeting/friendship, that later develops into a real friendship.
Bella and the Bachelor
Summary: Bella goes on a reality television dating show to make a change in her life, but is that change what she thought it would be? She might be in for more than she bargained, including finding genuine love in the place she least suspected. BxE, AH
Ramble: This is another story with a really rich Edward. It incorporates some of the details from the Bachelor, and the characters from the book. Bella as a linguist is really interesting, along with some of the more insider info readers get from the beginning. A good love at first meeting story, that does not disappoint.
Thursday, November 11, 2010
Just Follow Me
Summary: Bella is a young artist who moved to New York after a serie of humiliating events, now she has to receive in her home the men she hates the most, who is also her brother's best friend and the love of her life, but he is 5 years older. Two-Shot Some lemons
Ramble: High school crushes that had to be disguised, before they are finally revealed years later. A few mentions of mafia, but none of the characters are really in the mafia. This is a world of architects, and construction is how most of the problems started. Quick plot line, with a lemon added in.
I Could Never Forget You
Summary: Bella and Edward had a really nice night at Prom, but after some misunderstandings they went their own separate ways, but Bella got pregnant and didn't tell Edward, what happen when they meet again... Read and Find out. Two-shot, some lemons...
Ramble: It is now a three chapter story done in Bella and Edward's point of views. Starting at prom, then skipping a four years, with some flashbacks in between. The story makes more sense than what I am doing here, so just go read it and see.
Negotiations
Summary: When a criminal from the past decides to take revenge on Agent Masen, his partner Agent Swan is caught in the crossfire. This game of questions leads to something neither one of them realized. Rated M for ADULT SITUATIONS. FGB for SassyKathy
Ramble: Revenge can take many forms. This one decides to use the threat of loosing a loved one to really get to Agent Masen. Love between agents who are working together is the main reason why this relationship has not progressed far, other than longing looks. And for the very same reason, the two agents are place in a situation where the feelings may never be developed.
Wednesday, November 10, 2010
Punishment
Summary: What Jasper & Edward have started with a simple D/s relationship, but one hell of a session opened their eyes, despite personal hang ups. Now, with fate throwing everything it has at them, how will their relationship grow? AU/AH, D/s, M for a reason.
Ramble: The title itself was enough to get me to read this story. Seeing BDSM, or D/s in this case seems to get me really interested in the story. Although I don't really read stories with this paring, this one is really good. It focuses on a regular relationship, and a BDSM one, while being able to balance it out very well. Later in the story, it is revealed that Edward is a director, and Jasper a talent scout for his own recording company. This story also includes appearances of ex-boyfriends, and other problems that they need to get over. The author also did another story about some of the events that took place before this story, so for those of you who are interested, that one sounds pretty interesting too.

Music Notes and Brushstrokes
Summary: Follow piano prodigy Edward as he reflects on his friendship with artistic Bella. He lost her before she was his, but she found her true place in his arms. According to FFn policies this is M for minor references to violence and mentions of drug use.
Ramble: A short story about high school freshmen, and how art and music can tie people together. The way music can inspire art is really interesting. Being able to bring two people together is always a sweet story. The rating is explained, so there is no lemon really described in this story but still, there are mentions of actions that are not really appropriate for younger people.
Friday, November 5, 2010
Steamed Up
Summary: Edward and Bella have been married and having sex for over a hundred years. Somehow they have to keep things steamy.
Ramble: Looking at the title, the implications are hard to miss. A fun short lemon.
Darke Academy
Summary: Phil insists Bella goes to a boarding school to get her out of the way. but this isn't a regular boarding school. this is an exclusive all boy vampire school. the girls are only there for one reason. Rated M for lemons later .
Ramble: I got caught in by the summary. But it wasn't really what I expected at first. It is a good story, and to me a nice ending to it. It really is up for the reader's interpretation. This highlights how 'evil' step-parents can be (I am not talking about step-parents in reality, more thinking in the lines of Cinderella, and the negative stereotypes that is associated with them).

Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden
Summary: Taking place at the 1956 US Open, 20 year-old amateur golfer Isabella Swan becomes the first women to compete at a professional golf event, with local caddie Edward Cullen at her side, she makes her attempt at history. Will the trophy be all she wins?
Ramble: With past here, it isn't as far back as some of the other stories but still in the past. An interesting look at golf. Somehow, between all the pressure of being the first female golfer, Bella still manages to fall in love. The ending is really cool, the way they have a time jump to where two generations are playing golf at a tournament.
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
FotoWard
Summary: This is a story about Edward, a photographer, and the beauty he sees in his favorite model, all through the lens of his camera.
Ramble: Using photos to remember by. The attentions of a lover, wanting to document the love they share. Snippets of flashback of how they ended up where the story begins. Creating and reacting the events they want to remember.
I Want You Now
Summary: Edward has secretly loved Bella since he first met her at ASU school of Music. Will he finally have the courage to tell her how he feels at the Acoustic Open Stage at Fiddler's Dream Coffee House? AH/OOC
Ramble: From friendship to romantic feelings. Some habits can get people killed (the predictability of a schedule/habit not necessarily substance), yet some can lead people onto a new relationship.
Tuesday, October 26, 2010
Breathe Again
Summary: When Bella made it big with her music, she left behind Edward Cullen, the one man she had ever loved. Three years later, she's haunted by a song that won't be written and the heartbreak she caused Edward.
Ramble: A little switch from other stories. Most of the time, it is Edward who becomes famous etc. but this time, it is Bella's turn to shine. The way love can sometimes haunt people, and stay on their minds for so long is true. What if's tend to follow, no matter how things end. The song that won't be written, the one thing that keeps getting away from her...
Everything
Summary: In the time that Bella and Edward have been friends, Bella's crush has developed into much more. Will the imminent success of Edward's band be the catalyst that finally draws them closer together? Or will it push the two of them even further apart?
Ramble: One sided emotions which turn out to be different. The way people around them can see the emotions between the two, and yet the two remain clueless about it all. Another story that shows how powerful music can be in revealing true feelings.
Rewind
Summary: By a chance meeting at a concert, Bella found and fell in love with her soul mate. But what happens when her perfect weekend with a budding rock star turns out to be just a sordid weekend fling? What happens when they meet five years later?
Ramble: Another contest entry. A story taking place in the present with a flashback in the middle of how they met. Music plays a big part in this story, and the power of music to get ideas and thoughts through is really clear. Not only that, but now thinking about it, 'it is a small world after all'...
Wicked Gypsy
Summary: Bella is dragged to a renaissance fair - in costume. She is less than thrilled with her predicament until a certain green-eyed man makes her day infinitely more interesting.
Ramble: Contest entry, so don't know who the actual author is right now. The power of a renaissance fair. I can totally picture what is happening at the beginning of the story. A reluctant child, while the mother is insisting on something that most parents would go against (nothing major, just the choice of cloths). Then again, there is a band who play at the fair and catches Bella's attention, and makes the fair a little more enjoyable.
A Very Handy Vending Machine
Summary: Edward Masen is the hot security guard where Bella Swan works, they are just friends, but things get hot and steamy on his birthday. 2nd Place Winner of the Gotta Love A Man in Uniform One-Shot Contest. Rated M for language and lemons.
Ramble: It has a little bit to do with work ethics... I guess. The vending machine is pretty handy in this story. Which is probably why it is in the title. The is a cool oneshot, but I can't say more, or else this will become more like a cliff note on the story...
Sweet Treats
Summary: Bella wants Cupcakes for her wedding. Edward wants to be traditional and have a 'normal' cake. Can she show him how wonder cupcakes are? Original O/S for the Cupcake Wars Contest.
Ramble: A very interesting way for Bella to present her case to Edward. There is a little use of food in a lemon, and seems to be a pretty good tactic to get what one wants. Because this is a oneshot, there isn't a lot of wedding planning details (other than cake vs. cupcakes).

Emotional Ties
Summary: Edward suffers deep pain from rocky relationships that have left him broken. Can a picture from an unknown photographer change his entire belief in love?
Ramble: Not trusting anyone emotionally, Edward lets his feet lead him. On the way, a photographer takes a picture and asks him to go to her show.
Shh! It's a Secret!
Summary: Edward thinks he's unworthy of his best friend's love and affection, but a game of Secret Santa proves even smart guys can be wrong. Example for the 2010 Cherry Exchange.
Ramble: A good old game of secret Santa. One of those games that is loved, hated, and dreaded; all at the same time. There is nothing much to say, because the summary is pretty good, and saying more will ruin the story. Not only that, but the fact that it is written as an example for a contest, there are a lot of clues there if one really wants to figure out what the story is about.
Little Green and Easybella
Summary: Bella and Edward have met before. She only remembers a silent little boy, he doesn't remember her at all. When they see each other again after years, nothing's the same any more. ExB, AU, AH. Lemon: yes. Smut: no. Entry for the "Cherry Exchange" contest
Ramble: I really like the connection Edward and Bella have in this story. Edward is an autistic child in this story, and Bella used to babysit him when he was 10. About 8 years later they see each other again, and this is where the story starts. The rest, well, read the summary for a big clue!
Something Different
Summary: Bella is stressing out from her new job as an English teacher, and Edward decides to take the pressure off of her for a night of sexy fun! Lemony one shot, rated M, a little OOC for Dom Edward, AH.
Ramble: Not totally BDSM, but enough to get readers wanting more (or at least me wanting something a little more in that world). More action than plot, so if that is what you want to read, here is a good choice. There isn't anything else I want to write here, since I don't want to give too much away.
Of Literature and Lollipops
Summary: A lollipop, a library, Mr. Cullen, librarian Bella, and a desk... Sometimes you have to be a little naughty to get something nice. Strae and Lou-La O/S Collaboration. Rated M for language and LEMONS!
Ramble: Ah, an English teacher and a librarian.... on school property. Combine that with the rating of the story, and I am sure you will have an idea of what this story is about. With this story, school is more like the setting of the story, than a story that takes place during school (if that makes any sense). I mean, in a way, the story could be taking place somewhere else, but the author chose school, so I included the school labeling for this story.

Come Back Café
Summary:
While being interviewed by a kid for the school paper, Edward looks back on his past, reminiscing about the girl that got away. What would happen if she ever walked back into his life? Rated M.
My entry for the Love Lost Contest.
Ramble: Although I don't really like sad stories, nor do I like the whole lost love ones, this one has some details that I really like. I guess that is my way of combating the facts reality gives me a lot of times. My way of hiding, or separating myself from reality. Younger people, asked to interview someone they admire often gives the teacher some interesting results. While typing this, I just realized the title of the story is probably the name of the shop. Another fact that I missed, is the fact that the story is an entry to a contest. The title of the contest should have let me know of how the story will probably end.Monday, October 18, 2010
Shocked
Summary: Thinking his Captain is gay, Cho gets the shock of his life.
Ramble: Ok, so I don't have a lot of stories that are not Twilight related here, but I read this story, so it will be added here. Looking into this author, I just wish they have more stories. It is a really good short story. Another thing I like, is how readers do not need to know what the original character should act. I don't know, after reading this story, I just wanted to share it and the other stories by this author, and make sure I log it. Because I will be going back and read it again, and again, and again...
CinderBella
Summary: Bella's father dies, leaving her in the care of her stepmother and stepsisters. A move across the country to a little town called Forks may be just what she needs to make her happily ever after come true. M for language/lemons.
Ramble: This feels more like a twist on A Cinderella Story than the original Cinderella.... if that makes any sense to people out there. I mean, it does get the who happily ever after type of ending to it, and the author is working on a continuation of the story. The story is pretty good, but at the end, I couldn't help but to feel there is something missing... Maybe I expected there to be a bigger fight between CinderBella and her step mother is siblings... But don't let my opinion sway you too much, read it and see for yourself!

In Search of the Lost Sapphire
Summary: AU. Kenshin is a top photojournalist searching for his lost sapphire. But who knows if he would find more than just the lost sapphire?
Ramble: At first, I really thought the story is about an actual gem. The story starts out as a story about a photographer, who become really famous for a picture he took. Readers follow as he travels around the world, looking for the object in the story. A warning out to readers, this is a sad story. So don't expect the good old happily ever after ending!!

High School Confidential
Summary: Bella, fresh from a breakup, starts a new job as a guidance counselor at Masen HS under the watchful eye of her very handsome but very married principal, Edward Cullen. A connection begins to develop as they work together to help the troubled students.
Ramble: At first, I thought this story would be really similar to another story I am reading (it isn't finished yet, but really good...). This story has Alice as a disciplinary figure, Jasper and Mike as a history teacher, while Jane is Bella's supervisor, Aro is assistant superintendent of the district. All in all, a lot of the characters had characteristics that work well with them and the story.

The Quiet One
Summary: Edward Masen is a tattoo artist and piercer. Bella comes into his life and changes everything. Romance,Humor,Angst and Lemons. A/H
Ramble: Although I shouldn't have, I actually finished this in one day, instead of doing what I am supposed to... This story fits reality well. I mean, I might be giving away too much, but this ending is sad, but fitting. There is an alternate ending posted on the author's profile, so for readers who do not like the ending, there is another one. Tattoo artist Edward with a pole dancing instructor Bella is a rarely done combination, but it works really well. On the side, Bella's love of huge horses that gets passed on to Edward. Infinity is a large part of the story, both in the romantic life and in reality.
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Wine and Lust
Summary: Bella Swan was a nice, shy girl who knew a lot about wine. She never knew that her passion for the red, white and bubbly would help her to meet the man of her dreams. One shot... lemon... all that good stuff.
Ramble: A pretty lemony one-shot. After reading the author's profile, I wonder if something like that would happen in real life. Well, maybe not in this combination, but the description of the way the customers were acting in the beginning is really funny.
Monday, October 11, 2010
Play
Summary: Music is his life. A birthday fic for WhatsMyNomDePlume. AH. Originally part of "When Words are Scarce."
Ramble: This is an awesome birthday fic! Well, an awesome regular fic too. There is a little lemon, along with some sweet undertones. It is separated into seperate parts, but the parts come back together really well.
Suffocate
Summary: Edward and Bella are in their middle twenties, engaged, living together. When one small fight leads to a big blow up- can they kiss and make up? Or will they have to go their separate ways? -Cannon Pairings: BxE- AH/AU
Ramble: This is very lemony... I mean, there isn't really any main plot per say, more like a bunch of smaller plots between a couple. Like the good old making the other party jealous in a crowded setting.
In Braille
Summary: A young woman, scarred inside and out. A guilty man looking for forgiveness. Will they recognize their redemption in each other? Beauty is not just skin-deep. Beautiful Edward Challenge Anonymous Entry.
Ramble: There is a big furry matchmaker in this story. Edward and his dog goes to the hospital to play with the kids there. Bella, who was blinded in an accident is eating in the cafeteria, when she gets attacked by the big dog. The rest is pretty much history, well not really, but I don't want to give away too much... In this story, is truly a beautiful Edward!
The Assignment
Summary:
Bella's new photography assignment puts her in need of a nude male model. Bella's friends find her in need of a bit more. Written for the Through the Lens One-shot Contest
Thank you to MDealsWithIt for the fabulous banner =)
Ramble: The opening lines of this story is really entertaining. The idea of Bella taking picture of naked people is just really surprising. Later we find out that she is actually a pharmacy major, and photography is her hobby. Since I don't want to give too much away, I will just leave it at that for now. :>Saturday, October 9, 2010
Doctor's Orders
Summary: Bella moves back to Forks to teach at the high school and has a little trouble finding a doctor. A new resident is accepting new patients. Perhaps he's someone from her past? Rated for a steamy Doctorward lemon!
Ramble: Ok, so looking at the author's profile, I just realized that this is also the author of some of my favorite one-shots!! Before I get too carried away, this story has Edward as a doctor, and Bella who is a new patient. The two went to high school together, but do they remember each other?
The Exclusive
Summary:
Edward Masen is a gorgeous politician about to become prime minister of New Zealand. Everybody loves him, but behind the public persona he has a secret desire. Political journalist Bella Swan is determined to find out what it is.
Ramble: I don't know how prime ministers are normally, but in this story, they seem pretty awesome (but they do not seem as busy as their counterparts in reality). Bella as a journalist has been done before, but this one has been married before. Charlie and Renee make an appearance as Bella's kids with her ex-husband in this story. Watching the 'complicated' relationship start, and slowly evolve is really interesting. While there are 15 chapters so far, it is a very easy and quick read for anyone who has some time on their hands.Monday, October 4, 2010
Coming Through the Rye
Summary: "I'd never been one of those women who found foreign accents sexy until I met Edward. Now, even plaid made me horny." Bella is in love with her best friend, Scottish expat Edward, and she'll do anything for him. Anything. AH. E/B.
Ramble: That's the End!!! Aww man, darn. I was so into the story, it wasn't until I got to the end of the last chapter before I realized that the story is done. The author is going to do some outtakes of the story, so it is alright, I guess. After reading the final chapter, I guess I can see why the author decided to end it there... This is an awesome read, I mean men in kilts... the image itself is pretty cool.

ABC Countdown
Summary: With only twenty-six days left of school, second grade teacher Bella is supposed to be running her classroom ABC Countdown. However, all she can think about is her sexy co-worker Edward, and the much naughtier version of the ABC Countdown he inspires.
Ramble: A different Alphabet story than others. The letters are grouped into chapters, but each letter gets their own day in the story. :>
The Pharaoh's Sun
Summary: Edward is the son of a hard ruling Pharaoh and overbearing mother. He longs to escape his priviledged life and in doing so, meets a girl that will change his life. Entry into the Age of Edward Contest 2010. M for lemons.
Ramble: An entry for the age of Edward 2010 contest. As the Pharaoh's son, his life is ruled by his father, but at the same time he has a lot more freedom than other people at the time. In an arranged marriage to a princess. When I was reading the story, I was reminded of Red River...
In His Eyes
Summary: Edward has been moody and has been finding solace in his piano. Bella wishes he would find solace in her.
Ramble: There is music and a hinted Dr. Edward. It is a good oneshot, and everything revolves around one thing without branching out too much. A pretty good story for the contest.
Misleading Appearances
Summary: Appearances can be misleading. What went on behind doors at Edward and Bella's house, what happened between the sheets, was undoubtedly different from what most people supposed it was.
Ramble: Oh my!! I cannot wait to see who wrote this story, and hope that they have a similar one already written or in progress. That would be so cool. It incorporates some slight BDSM, just enough to get readers wanting more... Grrr... I want to go look for more!!!
Six Weeks
Summary: Edward has been avoiding sexual contact with his wife for six weeks. What happens when she lays it all on the line?
Ramble: Wow, this story has an interesting sub plot. I mean, as a one-shot, readers do not really get a chance to get to know the characters. This is a pretty good story, but I would love to see it all stretched out into a multiple chapter story. It makes a very good prequel for that kind of story, so there. To the author, just think about it, and depending on how comfortable you are with expanding of course.
Play Me
Summary: Bella is drawn to the siren call of Edward and his piano. Edward wants nothing more than to play the object of his obsession. Can a first-time seductress and an isolated musician find the right key?
Ramble: Ok, so for the next few stories, I know that they are not written by The LUSTorium, but since I don't know who wrote them yet, I'm just going to leave it like this for now. Hopefully, I will remember to come back and change the author when I know, but that all depends on what I have to do in a few weeks... Back to the story, this is a really good incorporation of music and lemon. The summary got me interested, but in the beginning, I was a little hesitant to continue reading, but in the middle, it got interesting. Thinking back, this is a pretty good story, in that it keeps some of hte details hidden until the end. :>

I Wish I Could Hate You
Summary: When Edward leaves Bella behind with no explanation, she turns to his family and their friends for support. Two years later he returns, only to find that he left behind so much more than just a heartbroken girl. Canon couples AU/AH M for language/lemons
Ramble: It is stretched out a little long for me, but other than that, it is a pretty good story. There is an appearance by Tanya in the middle of the story, and trust me, it is a really fun scene. In the middle of all the drama, there is a cute little kid, Anthony who seems like such a cool little kid (he is not really that fussy in the story).
Sunday, September 26, 2010
Tie
Summary: Once they were the best of friends, but growing up they fell apart. Along the way they started fighting. Will they ever see what is right in front of them and come to a tie. Contains a fair share of swearing and a bit of lemon. AH oneshot
Ramble: Wow, this story is not really what I first expected. It is a high school fic, I mean it has all the drama, and arguments to make it seem like a high school story. Childhood friends are hard to come by, and this story goes to show how things in life changes, and there are times when we wish to go back and change things. The story is really good right now, but part of me wants it to be continued. And yet, at the same time, I want it to stay this way, letting my imagination go wild as to what is in store for the characters in their future.
His Absence Is Everywhere
Summary: Bella met Edward in Junior year at Forks High. Seven years later, and they are blissfully happy, married, ready for a family. Edward went for cigarettes and never came home. He now lives in a coven of vampires, the Cullens. Can he ever return to Bella?M
Ramble: The description of the children in this story is sooo cool!!! I haven't read Breaking Dawn, so I don't know how the kid was introduced in the actual story, but the one in this story is just awesome. There are some sad parts in the story, so it is not a super happy story, but the way it is written makes sense.
Unexpected Explanations
Summary: #40. Bella was forced out of LA when she was 12. Now back nearly a decade later helping her uncle make sense of clerical issues in his office, Bella meets someone who catches her attention. What happens when the reason she left comes back to haunt her?
Ramble: After reading the story, the title fits very well. Family relationships between the characters, well some of them are different from what authors normally use. Picturing a little/young Bella in this story is really fun. It is a little fun, but really gloomy (?) story to me. Well, a little gloomy, but kind of ... I don't know, I'm still trying to figure out what emotion I'm associating with this story. Not necessarily happy or sad, but like a combination of a lot of emotions...
Brown Eyed Girl and Green Eyed Boy
Summary: Bella and Emmett own a bar in New York where Bella is about to meet Emmetts girlfriend, her brother and his girlfriend and his girlfriends brother. Little does she know is that she already know some of them. M for safety.
Ramble: I would like this story more if, there was more to it. While reading it, I really liked what the author put up, but the plot could be developed more, and into a chapter story. There is something about the ending that doesn't really give the conclusion feeling oneshots should end with. It would be really cool if this story is developed more. The resulting story would be really cool, especially if continuing with the plot that has been revealed so far.

Life's Journey
Summary:
Bella is left with a baby that's not hers. What happens when she meets Edward the Pediatrician? Follow us on Life's Journey.
Rating for language, violence, and citrus...
Disclaimer: All publicly recognizable characters, settings, etc. are the property of their respective owners. The original characters and plot are the property of the author. The author is in no way associated with the owners, creators, or producers of any media franchise. No copyright infringement is intended.
Ramble: I have to admit, that this story doesn't really match up with what I personally think of as NC-17. There are some violent scenes in this story (more like mentions, nothing in a lot of details). A cool story where Bella takes care of her goddaughter as her own. With troubles from a stalker, Bella is even more motivated to move into an apartment on the same floor as Edward.Tuesday, September 21, 2010
Breakaway
Summary:
Raised by her single father, Isabella Swan grew up in the land of men. Their favorite pastime when she was younger was to spend the night at the local dirt track, feeling the energy of the cars as they fought for position. Was it any wonder that eventually she would end up on the track herself?
Having paid her dues, Isabella (Izzy) Swan has made it to the big leagues, officially racing for a franchise in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Can she hold her ground against a track full of men who want to see her fail, especially her teammate Cocky Edward Cullen?
Ramble: This is my all time favorite racing story. I mean, in most of the other ones I've read so far (that I can remember) Bella is just a bystander, or a fan etc. Where as in this one, she shares some of that fame with Edward on the track. The two do not have a relationship that seems 'normal'. By normal, I am referring to how the author presents it in this story. This is a must read-again story for me!!

Fate's Recipe
Summary: Bella is a young girl trying to make a life for herself in a land of Knights and Kings when she meets a beautiful boy. Can they find a happy life together when his family can destroy them both? AH/AU
Ramble: This is a very interesting human story. With the mention of guilds, and magic, this makes it one of the most interesting stories I've read. But be warned, the ending is really sad. I don't really don't want to give too much away, so this ramble will be really short.
Vuvuzela's Revenge: A oneshot
Summary: One-shot written for Fandom Gives Back. Bella has a successful career to maintain and Edward is a soccer player who is determined to make her bend the rules for him.
Ramble: A famous Edward, who really likes Doctor Bella. There are problems with the whole doctor wanting a romantic relationship with a patient, the two try to work through the problems. The world cup is kind of involved with the story, as the title hints at. Well, the rest is up to you to figure out, or read!!

Into the Wild, A One Shot
Summary: Bella Swan puts up daily with the snarky orders of her boss, Edward A. Cullen. Cullen Marketing has a presentation to run at a luxurious lodge. What happens when these two leave the flourescent lighting and endure each other amongst the evergreens? AH
Ramble: Although this is not my first story where Edward is the boss of Bella, this offers a glimpse of why the relationship seems so strained between the boss and an employee, especially when she seems to be close to other male workers. This story can also explain why some people are able to get away with more than other people. With mentions of Tanya (playing a similar part in most other stories) and Mike, this story is pretty awesome. I think it would be even better if the story is written in Edward's point of view, but then again, that is just my opinion; it really depends on what the author thinks and want to do...
Remember Me
Summary:
All human. Just a one shot about our nation's greatest tragedy. Bella and Edward are looking forward to their upcoming wedding and birth of their first child. Edward works at the World Trade Center, and Bella is at the hospital awaiting for him to arrive when the unthinkable happens. What happens to our favorite Twilight couple? Rated M to be safe.
Krazichik made this lovely banner for me, thank you so much!
Mkystich made this banner for me, thank you so much!
Ramble: A very sad story about the fateful day, 9/11/2001. I think this is a very nice story, with a touch of religion to ease the mind a little. For people who do not like sad stories, please do not read. Reading the summary should give people an idea of how and what the story is about.Enjoy the Silence
Summary:
Bella has been living with her handicap her whole life. Renee couldn't handle her handicap so she took off when Bella was an infant, leaving Charlie to take care of her. She's spent her life attending special schools but will she be able to fit in at Forks High School?
Ramble: This story has a deaf Bella who was born not being able to hear. High school life (I feel) is a little exaggerated in this story (or maybe my high school was not this dramatic...). This was a pretty fast read. Although it is 14 chapters long, it goes by really fast.Saturday, September 18, 2010
Babies on Their Mind
Summary:
Life in a maternity unit is full of ups and downs!
Bella Swan, an experienced midwife at Forks Hospital meets the new obstetrician, Edward Cullen and the attraction is instant.
As their hands touched, she gasped softly as she felt the shock of electricity that seemed to pass through their skin. Dropping his hand abruptly, her brown eyes wide in surprise, Bella stepped back. Without volition, Bella felt her face flame with another cursed blush. Damn, she was 26 years old. When was she going to stop blushing like a schoolgirl?

Chain Reaction
Summary:
Summary: Bella is a rising fashion photographer. She isn't as lucky in her love life as she is in her professional one. She's hired by Edward, an American model with great popularity in Europe, to take some pictures for his book. Will he be just what she needs, or just another thorn in her side?
Banner made by me.
;o)
Note: This is an O/S that as of now I have no intention to continue.
Ramble: It is a little sad to see that this will stay a oneshot, but at the same time, it is really good as is. Model Edward and Photographer Bella makes a really interesting story. Although the roles have been done by other authors, this is one of the fist where the couple meets with this kind of 'problem'. There is something about this story, that really strikes me as reality, or something that can happen in reality (maybe the assumptions characters make?). Really cool banner too!!Beautiful, Dirty, Rich
Summary:
One Bet. One Week. No Rules.
Bella bets Edward that after a week of some raw sexcapades he won’t want to stop. He bets her otherwise.
A slightly tongue in cheek smutathon and my first fan-fic.
Ramble: I have to admit, I don't really remember what happened in the beginning of the story in detail. This is one of the reasons why I read only completed stories most of the time. When I first saw this story, it looked really interesting, so I started reading but right before the last chapter was posted (I was only two chapters away!!) I started getting busy and distracted by life and other stories and left the story alone for a long while. It wasn't until I was hunting for a story just now did I realize that it is finished!! Anyways, a short blurb about the actual story.... it is a very unique version of Forks High. It would be hard to find another version of high school live quite like this one. This story is one of the ones you have to read to really see what makes it so different.Monday, September 13, 2010
Fitting Room Fun
Summary: Bella Swan works in a suit shop for part of the Masen Enterprises Ltd. franchise, but what will happen when the heir to the company, the georgeous, rich and single Edward Cullen comes to get fitted for a suit when only Bella is in the shop? Smut one-shot
Ramble: At first I wondered if there would be an added label for this story. But then again, this works out pretty well too. There are some missing pieces which would work well with more chapters, but at the same time, there are enough details for readers to come up with their own thoughts of what happens.
Wait Till You See My Smile
Summary: After her son is injured on the playground, newly single Bella Swan is in need of a dentist. Thankfully, Dr. Cullen is close by, and he ends up healing more than just a broken tooth. One-shot. AH. Rated M for the usual reasons.
Ramble: Ok, so Dr. Cullen is really a dentist, so no ER or surgical talk in this story. Seeing a little kid being bribed by his uncle is such a cute scene!!! I don't know how readers imagined the smile they, but after reading the whole story, I had a smile on my own face.

My Crush on the Hot Chemistry Overlord
Summary: One Shot-Bella lusts after her Chemistry professor and while they get along, he never shows any interest in her beyond class. One night in the lab changes everything but can they survive anything beyond that? Is there even a them? AH-Rated M for a reason.
Ramble: This is a fun college story. There is the student and teacher falling in love with each other, but at the same time, this is presented in a different way. A totally cool school one shot, really worth at least one reading.
Thursday, September 9, 2010
I Will Remember You Eventually
Summary: Bella and Edward have been madly in love for eight years, when all of a sudden Edward gets into a life-altering car crash. What will Bella do to get Edward to remember her, along with his life for the past nine years? All Human, ExB.
Ramble: Edward goes through memory loss after an accident. It is written in Edward and Bella's points of view. Readers follow the couple from when Edward wakes up in the hospital as he tries to gain his memory. There is a lot going on in the story, but it was really easy to follow.
Don't Ever Forget Me
Summary: An accident leaves Bella homeless. What happens when her best friend Alice and her family agree to adopt her? Will Edward harbor the deep feelings he has for Bella, or will he struggle to fight the internal battle? People change. Anything is possible.
Ramble: The way people change through time. Although there are some times when character's motives were sometimes questioned on my part, this is a story that have a few lasting impressions. It serves as a good reminder of people who have to judge which has a higher priority, work or family. Not only that, but plans are made to be broken, and life shows that a lot of times. Readers follow the couple, as they go from acquaintances to lovers (and how distance can put a strain on the relationship).

Teasing
Summary: Bella uses her ability to stretch her shield to tease Edward during a wedding. A touch of lemony tange. Years after Breaking Dawn.
Ramble: This is really a 'mess with your mind' story. I mean, it is really a story that puts special abilities into use. :D
Tuesday, September 7, 2010
Abandoned Girl
Summary: "When's my mummy coming back?" Bella Swan is left at a run down Orphanage aged 4, and she has always held some hope of her mother returning. Now aged 16, can a new family help Bella forget her mother and move on? Or will the past come back to haunt her?
Ramble: An orphanage story. This one was a little different from the other ones I have read so far. It is well written and everything, but there were a few twists and turns in here that really keeps readers up. Watching the relationships Bella has with the other characters in the story is really interesting. The development of romantic relationship, family, and friends; going from having 'nothing' to having what she has always wanted.
Sonata No 3, in E
Summary: When Bella hears a new sonata a mystery presents itself in the form of the composer. When she seeks him out, what will she find?
Ramble: I have to admit, this is a little different from when I first bookmarked this story. A student who graduated high school when she is 16... there is something about that fact, that draws me in.

Master of the Universe
Summary:
Bella Swan is drafted in to interview the reclusive, enigmatic Edward Cullen, multi-millionaire CEO of his company. It's an encounter that will change her life irrevocably, leading her to the darkest realms of desire. Adult themes, AH AU, Bella and Edward.

Classroom Secrets OneShot
Summary: Bella has wanted her teacher Mr Cullen since she was 16,now 8 years later she's fresh out of college and looking for a job- turns out she's taking over from her favorite history teacher. Sparks will fly but the diff now is they can create fire works!
Ramble: At first, I thought there would be a little more to the story, like expanded beyond the first chapter. This is a pretty good story line, but it felt like a snip of a whole story. I can see how the author can expand the whole story if they wish to, but it is alright the way it is now. This way, readers will have to imagine how the story will end in the long run.

Dominant Edward
Summary: Bella's family have been Edward's family's slaves for years and Edward claims Bella as his own. r&r please M for language and lemons. NEW VERSION.
Ramble: I really wish this story is a little longer. This story line has a lot of potential, but at the same time, I guess I can see why the author stopped at this point. Expanding the story out would be really interesting, but there is not a lot of other things that can be added to the story without forcing it. Other than that, I really like this story.

Heartbreak Remedy
Summary: When he told her that he was into BDSM, she didn't really know what exactly he was talking about. But she knew that she trusted him, and loved him, and was ready to embark onto the journey of her life.
Ramble: I can't believe I forgot about this story for a while!!! Although this was not my first BDSM story, it is up there near my favorites. There are a few threesomes in this story, but in the end, the story really revolves more on Edward and Bella. A definate re-reading story, the continuation of the story is in the works too!!

Mistress Esme's Declaration
Summary: Mistress Esme has a special evening planned for her sub, Carlisle to thank him for a weekend of jobs well done. She also finds it is time to declare her true feelings for him. Will he reciprocate or is theirs truly a relationship solely for pleasure?
Ramble: Now, I am starting to branch out on the couples I read about. This is probably one of the first ones that I have read where Esme is the dominant one, and Charlisle the submissive. It is something different in a good way. Part of me wishes that the scene they did was more intensive, or have more toys etc. but other than that, it was a wonderful story.

Punishment
Summary: Isabella learns to never cross her Master. Heavy D/s. One Shot. Rated M for sexual content.
Ramble: Part of me wishes that there was a little more background to the story... but that is just me being greedy, wanting to find more and longer stories. Perhaps it is time for me to add the story that started this for me... Anyways, back on track, there are many parts to this story, and it is not just punishment. The story does start out with caning, so be warned!
Becoming Isabella Cullen
Summary: Edward is struggling to look after his little brother and his family's company after the murder of his parent's. Bella is struggling to pay her bills after dropping out of university and moving to London. What happens when Bella becomes Edward's nanny?
Ramble: This story has a very cute five-year-old Jasper and Alice. Although this is not the first business person in need of a nanny, it is one of the first where the nanny is for his younger brother. It is fun to read about how a young Jasper comes to accept a stranger, and unknowingly acts as a test for his brother's wife.

Silence Speaks the Loudest
Summary: A shy, quiet boy seeks out the solace that only his best friend can give. His hardships give light to insecurities. Entry for the Exploration of the Senses contest.
Ramble: I have to admit that this is a lower rating than usual, but this is a really sweet story. The hardship pulls the friendship even closer than other friendships. A sweet story to get the mind off of reality for a while.

Exposure
Summary: The vampire court is a dangerous place for a human girl, but especially when she appeals to a certain one of them... SMC contest entry for 'Underworld'.
Ramble: A super short story where people of higher means/power takes what they want. Well, with in reason. It is not a cold blooded taking, more like taking collateral on a debt... It goes on to tell when the family is really interested in the said collateral. At least that is what really stays in my mind after reading it...
It's our Anniversary
Summary: After 30 years of marriage, Edward finds a way to help Bella remember their beginnings...
Ramble: This one is like a very quick trip down memory lane for a vampire. It took me a while to realize that Edward and Bella are vampires in this story...
Simple Math
Summary: Baker Goddess Bella counts the simple connections she has with the dirty, hot construction worker next door to her bakery. Will her simple math have a positive outcome or is she destined for unfulfilled fantasies? My entry into the MEN AT WORK CONTEST.
Ramble: A cool oneshot with a baker Bella and construction worker Edward. the ending is really good, with slight restriction of the limbs in a newer fashion.

Move with the Times
Summary: What if Edward met Bella when he was human but still got changed? And then she got sick? Did he really have a rebellious stage? And how will the Cullen's react to this information. Rated M because where there's Irish there is lemons
Ramble: A story that takes place in the 'current' time, with snippets from the past. There is a little twist, where Edward and Bella met when they were human, but other than that not too many other changes. I have to admit, the fact that Bella works in a bar is really interesting, it reminds me of another story I've read before. *Note to self, add the story here when I get a chance*

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan Regarding the Inferior Intellect of Hockey Whores
Summary: Edward Cullen is an anomaly as far as Bella Swan is concerned, defying all her preconceived notions about the whorishness of hockey players. Through incessant stalking and persistence, can Edward wears down Bella's resistence and teaches her to embrace her inner hockey hooker? A ridiculous love story.
Ramble: I have to admit, I feel like I cheated by waiting until the story was almost done before reading it. While reading stories while authors post, I always have to start from the beginning a lot of times, because my memory sucks. Anyways, about this story, a story that gets into hockey, but not too much. This story has a lot of funny and sad parts, but it is well balanced. I have to admit, that the last chapter is the funniest to me. So go off and read it, it is an awesome story!!
