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...)

slave to My Heart
Summary: Edward is an experienced slave that serves his Mistress in 24/7 submission. Just as their feelings for each other change, tragedy strikes. With healing comes love and all the kinky deeds in between. AH/OOC Slash
Ramble: Gah, I actually followed this story as it was being written, and just found out that I forgot to include this here! I will say that this is one of my favorite subward stories so far. At first I was a little hesitant to continue after reading about how his mistress' house is run, but after a while, it started making sense to me. That, and afterwards, I started noticing other stories that had one dom/e with multiple subs sometimes. Anyways, this is a great story that was well worth the wait!

Night and Day (one-shot)
Summary:
Isabella an assistant to a high society lawyer, Edward, seems so meek and innocent. But after her 9-5 Isabella works at a tattoo studio, inking people who only know her Bells. What happens when Edward, drunk and out with friends on New Year's Eve, decides to blow off some steam and runs in to the ink covered and pierced Bells? Ramble: I love the idea of Bella living two totally different lives in this story. While I like office assistant, boss kind of stories, this one takes the cake in the category. It combines the office attraction with a hidden personality that gets revealed by accident, and results in possibility of further development. Personally, I thought that this is a wonderful one-shot!

A Chance of a Lifetime (one-shot)
Summary: Bella is happy with a fulfilling career and great friends. What more
could she ask for? Nothing, at least until her cousin decides to take matters
into her own hands. And Bella is fighting to win the heart and love of
eligible Bachelor Edward Cullen.
Ramble: This is actually a pretty good bachelor story. As a one-shot, I have no complaints about what happened in the story, but a part of me wishes for some more details as the girls were getting to know Edward a bit more, but I know that would only be present in a multi-chapter story instead.
In My Mother's Arms
Summary:
Edward was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was six years old. Now, at twenty-two, he's trying to be a normal college student. The only thing is, he had to agree to share an apartment with his sister, Alice, who helps take care of him. When Alice gets accepted into a fashion school three hours away, they have to rely on a family friend, Bella, to live with Edward. Totally against having any help from anyone, Edward has to learn that you can't get through life alone.
***This story is not a happy-go-lucky love story. It is a drama and involves the issue of the illness CF. If anyone is sensitive to this subject, I suggest you don't read on.
Storm Warning
Summary:
Bella and Edward are both finishing the same graduate program, and have been friends for 5 years. Of course, Bella is in love with Edward, but won’t tell him because she thinks there’s no way he would be interested in anything but friendship. During a particularly difficult week in April, when he shows up to help her move, she discovers the truth about her good friend Edward.
Three-chapter fic written for Fandom for Storm Relief, to benefit the victims of the April and May 2011 tornadoes.
Banner by the amazing CircleTimeRamble: I am not really sure how to label this story, so I'll just stick with the basics. In one of the chapters, there are a couple of Indian words, which I loved having in the story. A really short and quick read that is really good. The storm in this case, is literally a storm and not just metaphorical. It was interesting to see Edward rescuing Bella from a crazy driver.

A Hard Day's Night
Summary: The doctors at this busy, New York hospital all have the same goals; saving lives, setting the on-call rooms on fire, and maybe, falling in love? Grey's Anatomy concept with Twilight character twist. Canon Couples.
Ramble: I really liked this story. While I do watch Grey's Anatomy every now and then, there is too much drama between characters some times (well, that and I don't have time to watch it), this story has a really good balance of the Twilight characters, and some of the plot (and funnier phrases/happenings) from the TV show. I know I should not have done it, but I was able to finish this story within two days, even though I should not have been reading lately.

Secrets and Lies
Summary:
Bella once told a lie. A lie that cost her everything she ever wanted. 10yrs later, she returns to her hometown to an ailing father, an angry ex-best friend, and the man from whom she has kept a secret that threatens to unravel her existence. AH/OOC/M.BxE
Ramble: At first, I thought that this would be a predictable story, just because it starts out in high school, and the lovers don't meet again until 10 years later. I was pleasantly surprised with the way the story came out. Right off the bat, I will say that if you are a Carlisle fan, you might want to reconsider reading this story. The Carlisle in this story is really different from the ones in a lot of other stories. Personally, I wanted him to suffer a lot by the end of the story, so be warned that this one is really different from the kind and loving father figure he normally is. The beginning of the story is rather sad, but the rest of the story focuses on Bella and Edward, as they try to regain their trust in each other.

The Nightingale Journals
Summary:
Special thanks to pkitten21 for the awesome banner!!
Pediatric ICU night nurse Bella Swan blogs about her work experiences via "The Nightingale Journals." When Dr. Edward Cullen is named the PICU's newest Fellow, their immediate attraction to one another is undeniable. They are both trying very hard to maintain their professionalism, appreciating one another as colleagues. Despite this predicament, Edward is determined to get to know Bella; when he learns that she is writing a blog, he makes it his mission to read every entry to find out just what it is that makes nurse Swan tick. Epic banter and UST result. Will they ever be able to admit their magnetic draw to each other?
Ramble: This is a story that is well worth the wait. It is finally complete, and I have to admit that it is up there as one of my favorites right now. Stories in hospital or doctor/nurse pairings are pretty common in the fandom, but this really takes the cake for me. The interactions seem more real, and believable to me. Not only that, but I feel like this is a good story for people to read if they want to be a part of the medical field. It gives a pretty good representation of what can happen or take place in a hospital, and how people interact in that setting.Wild
Summary:
A recently widowed Bella moves to Seattle to start a new life. Upon reconnecting with her friend Alice Cullen, Bella meets her brother and business partner, Chef Edward Cullen. Celibate by choice for two years, what will happen when Edward finds himself undeniably attracted to the sexy new Bella that Alice helps create?
