We Kiss in a Shadow

We Kiss in a Shadow written by:  AgoodWITCH

Summary:  From the moment of her birth, Edward Masen has had a soft spot for Isabella Swan, a servant taken in when tragedy strikes her family. As she grows, so do Edward's feelings, but life seems to throw up a string of impediments. When an opportunity presents itself, he must act carefully if they can be together in the light of day. Age of Edward 2015 entry.

Ramble:  A short and quick read.  Edward has some pretty modern thoughts and approach to living, considering when this story takes place.  There are a few mentions of Jacob in this story, and I will say this probably isn't the best story for people who like Jacob, or the Blacks in general.  The way they are portrayed isn't in the best light, they are just.... really strict, and a little selfish.

Nine days in Dune

Nine days in Dune written by: Shadow Minx

As they journey through the deadly Dunes, Major Whitlock, Sergeant McCarthy and Private Cullen will learn more about themselves and each other than they ever thought possible.

Will they make it out alive?

Ramble:  A different kind of military story.  Focusing on their service abroad.  There are flashbacks/memories of how they became soldiers or signed up to be enlisted.  A really quick read, focusing on the three soldiers.

Online Dreams Become Offline Realities

Online Dreams Become Offline Realities written by:  heartfortwilight and Sher Cullen

Summary:  Bella has a problem. She has fallen for her online friend and the handsome green eyed man she met at a wedding. Who will she choose? HEA B&E

Ramble:  A quick and fun story, very good for a quick pick me up.  I have to say that Alice acts more like Jessica in the book, and not very Alice-like.  Ends with a time jump with hints to a very promising happy ever after ending.

Sunrise

Sunrise written by:  flamingpen18

Summary:  Bella Swan has always "sensed" that she was meant for something more. When she moves to Forks, Wa., she finds out that she is more a part of the supernatural world than her dreams could have ever prepared her for. With help from the Cullens, Bella will embrace her destiny.

Ramble:  When I got to the end of the story, I felt like I got tricked again, since I'm pretty sure I've read this story before.  Well trick might be a strong word, but the story ends as a set up for the next story, which has yet to be shared on the site I read it from. :? I like the premise of the story, and where it was going, but at the same time I feel like it ended with a big cliff hanger.  And the main reason why I mainly read completed stories is because I don't really like being left on the edge of a cliff.  And honestly, other than that, this is a pretty cool story setup.

Tagged

Tagged written by: TwiAddictAnne

Summary:  By nature, all male species want to mark their territories. It’s in their nature to try to keep their female safe and tag them as theirs. I wasn’t an exception … until her. She drove me crazy. She tagged me as hers. And in return, I gave her my heart. All human. Rated for adult themes.

Ramble:  A trip down memory lane.  There are a few time jumps throughout the story.  Love how it focuses on the 'current' with glimpses of the past and future.

A Christmas I'd Rather Forget by

A Christmas I'd Rather Forget written by: RAH07890

Summary:  Isabella, a preschool special education teacher, and Edward, a Broadway composer, are engaged, and ready to spend the holidays together. Isabella convinces Edward to introduce her to his family, even though they haven’t spoken in years (his sister, though, is another story). Isabella soon learns the truth behind their estrangement.

Ramble:  An interesting one shot.  Unfortunately, the pictures are not viewable on the website.  A very quick and funny (depending on how you look at it) story.  I guess everyone is biased towards one side of the family.

Fixing Past Regrets

Fixing Past Regrets written by:  TheDarkestFallingStar

Summary:  Returning home for the first time in five years for her father's wedding was one thing, but she didn't expect this. A/H

Ramble:  Not going to include the doctor tag this round.  I mean Edward is a doctor in this story, but it doesn't play a big role in the story, it is just used to describe his job.  This is a very quick read which has a really good summary.  The ending is a little open, with a huge hint, and a general idea as to how it goes (not the annoying kind of open ended ending where you know the author is setting up for a sequel). 

Acrobat Angels

Acrobat Angels written by: glassbug

Summary:  She's an acrobat Angel and he's a famous actor that keeps his private life secret. What happens when he shows up at an exclusive viewing of her show?

Ramble:  A fun super short story.  This is a pretty memorable story focusing on an acrobat scene as well as mentions of how it is like a small family.  In this, there are mentions of how Edward is a successful actor, but nothing big happens because of that detail.  So, no crazy fans interrupting, just Edward having a lot of people around him, and the fact that he has to be careful of what information the public gets about him. 

The Body

The Body written by: aliciaw68

Summary:  Edward has a fetish that no one else in the world knows about. Except the thousands of followers on his anonymous blog. What happens when Bella works out who 'The Body ' is.
This was my submission to the twkink 2015 fest.

Ramble:  Wow, I had a hard time stepping away from this story!  There is power from being next in line when it comes to the business this whole story revolves around, and the way Edward and Bella seems to click? It is amazing!!  Most of the story is in Bella's perspective, though there are a few in Edward's.  While a lot of the story revolves around the fetish, there is a little bit of drama in the comes in.  Nothing too bad, but there were a few tense moments, and a few times when I wanted to go into the story and give a Gibbs slap to a character or two...

The Consequences Behind Secrets

The Consequences Behind Secrets written by:  one of eddie's girls

Summary:  Isabella's life might change after working for Edward, lawyer by day, fierce dom by night. Will he, however, be able to keep his hidden desires a secret from such a naturally submissive woman? Their hearts are put to the test in this dark, tragic tale of romance. Mature Content. If you're not old enough to vote, you're not old enough to read. OCC. AH.

Ramble:  Starts out with Bella going home.  Later we find out that she needs a support group around her because she is coping by cutting herself.  Edward is a lawyer who needs a secretary.  Eventually Bella comes to work for him.  The two get closer, and drama comes up.  There are mentions of child abuse, which is what lead Bella down the path os self-destruction.  Eventually the air is cleared between the main couple, and the story ends with a future shot, and a very funny note (at least it was for me).

Under the Master's Kilt

Under the Master's Kilt written by:  ladyeire3

Summary:  One stumble on the ancient cobblestones of Edinburgh will change Bella's life forever. A drabble prompted by some amazing women...and it all started with the love of a man in a kilt. AH/AU

Ramble:  A drabble story.  I usually tend to skip drabbles unless I am reading on a computer.  This one starts out with really short chapters, and the last few chapters are a little longer.  There is just something about Edward in a kilt that drew me in, reminding me of a story I've read in the past. 

Just an Hour

Just an Hour written by: Chanse Lowell

Summary:  3 couples discoveries as they navigate their way in the BDSM lifestyle and find who they truly are. What does it mean to be a Dom? A submissive? And how do you let go so you can truly live? Can it be done if even for only an hour at a time? AH. Canon D/s couples: E/B E/R J/A BDSM

Ramble:  This is a little different from the usual BDSM story I've seen so far.  It tends to switch between the three couples, and highlights the different problems and dynamics between each couple.  There is some drama, especially at the beginning with the main villain in the story.  I have to say that it is nice to have a balance of the different kinds of relationships that are portrayed by these stories.

Her Boy

Her Boy written by: JazzHollow

Summary:  Professor Whitlock comes home to find his wife has planned an evening he will not forget. Lemons and Lots of BDSM - this story isn't for everyone.

Ramble:   Probably one of my favorite Alice and Jasper story that I've come across so far!  It is a one shot.  While the ending leaves it kind of open for further development, I have yet to see another story continuing this story.

Dualism by Isabel0329

Dualism written by: Isabel0329

Summary:  Edward asks Bella series of questions that is soon followed by a night that she will never forget. All-Human, extremely OOC. Rated M for extreme lemons! Part of Jayeliwood's Sexy Edward contest.

Ramble:  A quick one-shot.  Starts out with random questions, and then quickly escalates to a powerful controlling story.  Honestly, it would be interesting to see how things go for these characters down the line.

A Tale of Sassy and Messy by TwiAddictAnne

A Tale of Sassy and Messy written by: TwiAddictAnne

Summary:  She’s a sassy nurse. He’s one messy soldier. Brought together in the wake of a disaster, they’ll have to learn to fight together or perish. WWII Edward. Contest entry for Age of Edward 2017

Ramble:  An interesting war one shot.  Very tame for a story that is rated M, and for a story that is so short, there are a few ups and downs that I didn't really expect to see.  Ends with a time jump to get the characters out of the war zone.

Infinity Claims

Infinity Claims written by: heartfortwilight

Summary:  Isabella Marie Cullen the only child of Carlisle Cullen Don of the Cullen Crime family, born with an infinity symbol birthmark. Tragedy hits and Isabella and her mother are killed, or are they? How far will one brother go to take control of the family?

Ramble:  Wow, Isabella has so many names in this story!! It is a pretty quick read that has a mob family as well as mentions of tattoos and piercings.  Noting super graphic is described... well it is a little violent when they get their revenge, but for the most part,

Home is where my heart lies

Home is where my heart lies written by:  TwilightMoon7765

Summary:  When Edward and Bella meet, Bella's already a vampire...who knows more about him than he does. But, she has a power that everyone wants. Will love still blossom between the two? Summary sucks...but it's better than it sounds.

Ramble:  An all powerful Bella in this story.  Turns out she knows Edward really well because they grew up together.  We find out that she is the heir to the vampire throne, and ends with an introduction to Charles.  There is a sequel to the story, but that will have to wait for a bit (so I'll add it to my 'to-read' pile).  My mind wants to jump to a different kind of story. 

The Jewel

The Jewel written by: Lady R. Lotus

Summary:  Bella Swan moved to Forks to live with her father after going through a traumatic incident in her past life. She is an extraordinary girl with amazing powers. She stumbles upon the Cullen family and knows their secret because of her past life. BxE

Ramble:  Now that I think of it, I wonder what was up with the whole Volturi picture thing.  I don't remember finding out what that was all about.  Bella has special training, and a set of heirloom blades.  She knows what the Cullens are.  Tyler's van got replaced by a bomb in her truck.  There are a few chapters where you deal with memory loss, but that gets fixed before the end of the story.

Shaky Ground

Shaky Ground written by: tufano79

Summary:  Dr. Edward Masen lived a lonely, miserable existence as an emergency room attending at Harborview Medical Center. He ate, breathed and lived for his job. He refused to even think about women. To him, they were only distractions and he didn't trust anyone, except his mother.
Dr. Isabella Swan just moved to Seattle, after completing her residency in Chicago. She was hired as a pediatrician at Harborview, becoming a pediatric emergency room fellow. She was not looking for a relationship, only focusing on her job. It was hate at first sight for both. Or was it? But, their attraction could not be denied.
Unfortunately, a natural disaster rattles their lives ... the world was turned upside down when escalating earthquakes plagued the Seattle area. Will they able to survive the danger of being on Shaky Ground?

Ramble: I am so tired after starting this story!  Made the mistake of starting it in the early evening... I was still up at 5am reading this.  A great doctor story, where both sides have issues to deal with.  When it comes to the relationship, there isn't a lot of drama, but there are a few moments where things are a little strained.  A fun doctor story where earthquakes tend to leave havoc, and makes things more interesting.

The Changer

The Changer written by:  Not All Heroes Wear Capes

Summary:  Bella Swan moves to Forks to live with Charlie but she is more then meets the eye. She seems to know about the Cullen's and their world. But how? Something is different about her, and not just her strange scent and behaviour. Bella is something else.

Ramble:  A different, and stronger Bella! Charlie isn't really her dad, but he still tries to protect her.  Turns out that she is super old, and is very different and powerful.  She is able to shift to different things, including animals but is not restricted to cats (like the other stories I'm keeping an eye out for). Turns out she is running from 2 different groups, one group of her species as well as Aro's group.

Sugar Daddy Needed

Sugar Daddy Needed written by: jess2002

Summary:  Renee is cutting Bella off. Bella needs money and Edward has a lot of it, but Bella gets more than she expected. Can she handle it or will it be too much? lots of fluff and lemons consentual spankings. R&R

Ramble:  A reread of an old favorite.  In this one, Bella answers an ad to continue to support her lifestyle.  Edward has a very low chance of getting someone pregnant, and things work out for the most part.  Of course, family and other drama make their way into the relationship, and there is some uneasiness for a bit, but everything ends well. 

Clair De Lune

Clair De Lune written by: Amberdeengirl

Summary:  Edward Masen is the star of a top Dance Academy. Bella Swan is just the first year new girl who Edward teaches for partnering. But as an unfathomable connection emerges in the moonlit ballet studio, Edward and Bella become the breathtaking, beautiful combination of skill and passion. How can this work, though, when Edward refuses to acknowledge their dance had ever happened?

Ramble:  Wow, I have to say, I really liked this story!  It looks like there is a second story, but it isn't finished yet... so I will probably wait a bit before reading that one.  There is just something about being left on a cliffhanger that I just prefer to avoid.  It is a very interesting dancing story, looks like the school Bella gets into is a school that focuses on dancing for students who are in the high school age range.

Subspace

Subspace written by: jmolly

Summary:  When Lady Isabella booked a training session with a new couple, she never expected to find her next submissive. Or sweetheart. Winner of the Most Original Lemon Award in the Beyond the Bedroom Contest, Feb 2017.

Ramble:  A quick oneshot where we see Edward and Bella's relationship develop from a 'business transaction' to an actual relationship.  Business transaction because Bella rents out her playroom to people and offer to help with training, which is how Edward ends up at her place in the beginning.  And later, they try to make things work. There is a quick test scene in the story, and the story ends with an open ending that is set up to end happily for the couple.

Twilight's Reign

Twilight's Reign written by: Bloody-Mad

Summary: basically my remake of twilight, IM NEW DONT HURT ME! I think its good, give it a try. The Cullens arent's the only mythical creature there. Bella is a shape-shifter!

Ramble:  Bella is like "Beast Boy from the Teen Titans" accorder to her description in the first chapter.  She has her own secret, but knows exactly what the Cullens are.  And later is it revealed that she knew Carlisle from before.  Turns out James and Bella ran into each other before the baseball event.

For Edward

For Edward written by: ssrivast

Summary:  Carlisle and Edward are both doctors working together in HarborView Medical Center, Seattle. Carlisle is the Head of Department – Surgery and Edward has recently joined his department as a junior surgeon after completing his residency. Carlisle is also Edward's Dom for the past 2 years, since Edward started his residency under Carlisle's friend Garrett. BDSM theme. One-shot.

Ramble:  A quick one shot of a specific event.  It is a BDSM themed story where Carlisle and Edward are in a relationship.  At the end, Carlisle does point out that what he did was wrong, but explained why he did what he did. 

Shields of Power by thunderful

Shields of Power written by: thunderful

Summary:  What if Bella already knew about vampires before she came to Forks, what if she'd already met the Volturi, but wasn't allowed to tell anyone? And most importantly, what if she had her own gift?

Ramble:  A very different Bella.  She has a very powerful gift and knows a lot more than the Bella in the original series.  For the most part, the key events in the first book are covered.  And can I just say how nice it is to read about a powerful Bella who can stand on her own?!

Prince Edward

Prince Edward written by: kim93

Summary:  (COMPLETE) Bella thinks that Edward is just a single, homeless, violin player. Boy, was she wrong! Everything she knows changes when he is attacked the first time she brings him home to meet the folks.

Ramble:  Bella is an officer, Edward plays the violin at the subway station.  There is quite a bit of drama in the middle/end of the story.  Quite a bit of time is spent looking for Alice, who is Edward's daughter.

The Alpha

The Alpha written by: StillDreaming85

Summary:  He could have chosen any female wolf in the room. Why did he have to choose me, the lone half-breed? *Drabble*

Ramble:  The main characters are werewolves.  Kind of reminds me of the story by Rayven with the whole living along side humans, but trying to stay out of detection.  It takes a closer look at the different levels, along with half-breeds and bitten wolves.  Drabble style, so many short chapters.

At Her Mercy

At Her Mercy written by: shadowed by passion

Summary: Doctor Isabella Swan was taught by some of the best. Having just lost a patient, with the knowledge of knowing she can't save everyone, what will she do when her college mentor and brilliant physician, Carlisle Cullen, asks her to save his son?

Ramble:  It is always fun to read a story, and then realize that you've read it before.  For some reason, it seems shorter this time around.  I know, that is kind of crazy and silly, but it just does.  Bella is a doctor, and Edward comes in as her patient.  There is a bit of drama and a mystery in this story.  Quite a fun and interesting read.

Whats Love? by Alyscia

What's Love? written by: Alyscia

Summary: Bella is the smartest con artist with dark past. She's tired of the con and wants to go home. Will Edward be what she has been looking for back home in Forks?

Ramble:  A quick story where Bella is super smart and has a program named Charlie at her house.  The story flips back and forth between the present and flashbacks of the past.  Bella ends up in foster care, and that is where a lot of the abuse happens. 

Long Distance

Long Distance written by: LyricalKris and myonlyheroin 

Summary:  Everyone knows about the dangers of the Internet, the liars and the creepers. But friendship can spark there and so can love. Edward and Bella met and fell despite the distance, but though his feelings were true, not everything he said was. A collab with LyricalKris.

Ramble:  I have to say, I love how absent minded some of the scientists are in this story!  I mean, it makes sense, if people are super good at one thing, that sometimes they aren't the best in others.  This is an older Edward (30's, almost 40 if I remember correctly) and a younger Bella (21, working on her undergrad).  It starts out as a professional meeting via email that slowly develops into an internet relationship between the two.  Over time it seems like Edward keeps lying to Bella, but Jasper comes in with an interesting perspective, since he is also older than Bella and Alice.

Bonded Hearts

Bonded Hearts written by: fancyface8105

Summary: The overlooked and locked away daughter of the Bennet family attains happiness when the intrigued Duke of Derbyshire discovers the hidden gem that she is. When the truth of her origins come to light, will it destroy the happiness she so dearly cherishes? *Some sexual and violent scenes are depicted*

Ramble: Mr. Darcy is a duke in this story.  All the sexual or violent scenes are well marked in this story.  Elizabeth turns out to be related to the Iron Duke, not to be confused with another story that includes the Duke of Derbyshire.

The One That Got Away

The One That Got Away written by: tufano79 

Summary:  In high school, Bella was a quiet bookworm. Edward was the king of the school. She blended into the background while he seemingly flourished in the limelight. That wasn't the case. Ten years later, will he finally be able to get the one that got away?

Ramble:  This has a lot of short chapters.  It starts with a high school reunion, and a couple has a chance to start again.  Edward is a doctor who has twins, Bella is a librarian with a side job.  Things are pretty good for the most part, except for Tanya, the ex-wife and some moments where Carsile makes some mean remarks (almost wanting to jump through and hit him or something... ). 

The Man in the Elevator

The Man in the Elevator  written by: MountainTop76

Summary: Bella lives for her morning elevator ride, and the sexy stranger she shares it with, but what will happen one night when she works late? Contest entry for the Control. Possess. Seduce. Contest.

Ramble:  An almost typical office elevator relationship... well at least that what it seemed like in the beginning.  It is a pretty fast paced office relationship that has some drama mixed in, between their history, position, and even some espionage like scenes.  There are also some very romantic/sweet scenes mixed in throughout the story.

SIS (Smoldering, Immense, Shaft)

SIS (Smoldering, Immense, Shaft) written by: WeeKittyAndTAT

Summary: Bella is deaf and due to her disability, she is unable to do the one thing she's always wanted to do, follow in her father's footsteps and be a firefighter. Overcoming the hatefulness of several people, she works in the firehouse, but can she be the saving grace in a scary emergency situation?

Ramble: I know that this is at least the second time I am reading this story.  This is probably one of my favorite stories from one of my favorite author duo.  Maybe it is because of my childhood dream of being a firefighter?  Something about this story just pulls me right in.  I mean not only does it have fire fighting, and libraries, it also has mentions of ASL, which I think is one of the most beautiful languages I've come across so far.

One Family

One Family written by: noncanonqueen

Summary: "Are you hitting on me? I've broken into your house, killed your guards, maimed your pretty face and shot you, and you're trying to hit on me?" She shook her head with a muttered 'unbelieveable' under her breath. 3rd place judge's pick in the MOBWARD contest. VIOLENCE. GRAPHIC. Honestly, it's pretty brutal. ALL HUMAN.

Ramble:  A quick one shot that I'm pretty sure I've read before.  A super quick mob oneshot, that is really good for a quick read when you want/need a quick mob pick me up. :)

Six

Six written by: Sarge's Girls

Summary:  Sixth sense: a special ability to know something that cannot be learned by using the five senses. Humans use 10% of their brain, but it's been proven that those with a sixth sense use more. Some wish to harness that power. With a target on us, sixxers are hunted as we try to stay hidden, blending in with the average world around us...when we are anything but average. AH ExB

Ramble:  Focusing on people who have a sixth sense/ability.  Deals with Aro as a power hungry person.  There are fights, almost like a war to free everyone from the craziness that is known as Aro.  A very sweet love story with extras elements from the powers they have.  Ends with a slight time jump with memory flashbacks.

More Than My Dearest Friend - FIRST VERSION

More Than My Dearest Friend - FIRST VERSION written by:BookRookie12 

Summary:  Elizabeth's father takes his six-year-old second daughter along with her older sister to London to tour and enjoy the parks, and, with her lively spirit and infectious smile, she makes a new friend. They grow up together, until a quarrel between them creates estrangement. When they meet again, four years later, what happens? [Now has a better 2nd version]

Ramble:  I know that there is a second version, but I'm going to wait till it is complete before reading it.  Yes, I'm still avoiding in progress works for now.  I like being able to finish the story on my own.  I've spent many nights hooked on a story, and I'm just too impatient to wait for the next update, though it was a lot of fun, leaving comments and looking forward to the next chapter, once upon a time. 
From what I can tell, I am pretty sure I have read this story before.  Right now, I'm just exploring different stories again.  This is a fun childhood story.  A romance that starts from friendship and develops into something more. (note to self:  In this story, Mr. Darcy reveals that he has a 6th sense of color towards the end of the story. )

Shall We Dance?

Shall We Dance?  written by: Jewell Trim 

Summary:  Georgiana has fallen in love with the sport of competitive dance and is all thanks to her idol, Lizzie Bennet... So how is it that Darcy finds himself getting pulled into this world too?

Ramble:  A quick one shot.  It seems to be a very small world, and Mr. Darcy knows how to dance.  This is a wonderful quick read.  Short and sweet

YESSSSSS MADAM

YESSSSSS MADAM written by: EmmaHope070115

Summary:  an Edward find his place in just one play session with Madam Bella

Ramble:  A quick and short one shot.  It looks like the author is thinking about expanding the story, so keep an eye out.  In a way, this is a really good snippet to get people interested and wanting more.

A singer in the woods

A singer in the woods written by: elag

Summary: While Elizabeth Bennet is walking through the grounds of Rosings, she overhears a man singing in the woods. This unexpected encounter leads to a different conversation between Elizabeth and Darcy.

Ramble:  The story branches off from when Elisabeth gets to Kent.  Between the singing and the other couple in Kent, Mr. Darcy and Elisabeth's relationship changes and feelings are revealed a lot faster.  While the events change, the story seems to move at a faster pace than the original book.  That and we get to see Georgiana and Caroline a little more, especially when compared to the original book.

The trouble with local newspapers and oral sex

the trouble with local newspapers and oral sex written by:ClaireLilyP 

Summary: Cunnilingus by an expert: extremely attractive man in his late 20s, single, expert in the subject, offers his services FREELY to CLEAN ladies who value PERSONAL HYGIENE. Please call or text the following number and ask to talk to BIG D about his mouth, and we can make arrangements.

Ramble:  A modern story that you can really see happening.  I don't know why this is the first kind of story like this that I've come across now that I think of it.  Seriously though.  With a modern Richard, how can he not try to wreck havoc and set up some pranks on Darcy?!  This is a two chapter story, where the first chapter is in Elisabeth's perspective, and the second one in Darcy's.  A fun and quick read.
