Gift of the Magi written by: morethanmyself written for: BabyItsColdOutsideContest
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
At First Sight written by: BabyItsColdOutsideContest
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.

Secret Girlfriend
Secret Girlfriend written by: ADAdancer
Summary:
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.

A Quiet Place
A Quiet Place written by: itsjustme1217 for: BabyItsColdOutsideContest
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.

Musically Blissful
Musically Blissful written by: jfryman
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.

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.

The Soloist
The Soloist written by: verotruth
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.

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.

Since Seven
Since Seven written by: My Silver Angel Wings
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.

Redefining Success
Redefining Success written by: eifeltwr
Summary:
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
Sometime Around Midnight Written by: musegirl For: BabyItsColdOutsideContest
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...

Sex Tips & Star Trek
Sex Tips & Star Trek written by: TKegl
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
The Christmas Party written by: LordBeerMeStrength
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.

Secret Admirer
Secret Admirer written by: CallistoLexx
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.

Bella and the Bachelor written by: Duessa
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.

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.

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
Negotiations written by: nobloodnofoul
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.

Punishment
Punishment written by: arianawhitlock
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.

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.

Darke Academy
Darke Academy written by: NightLark
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).
