Invincible

Invincible written by:  knicnort3

Summary:  Bella was having a rough time in life, until she was anonymously gifted with some music and a pair of headphones. Four years later, she credits those headphones with saving her life. But who was the secret gift giver, and will they ever meet again? ONE SHOT. Entry for Song Prompt Contest. E/B, AH

Ramble:  A very cinderella like story.  It starts with Bella in school and shows how she becomes the way she is in the story.  We follow her as she grows up, and gets a job.  Music is a way for her to escape, and the thing that keeps her going.

Shut Up and Dance

Shut Up and Dance written by:  knicnort3

Summary:  When his friends force him to take a break from his studies, Edward is shocked to see a familiar face in a very different way. Is it just a night of fun, or could it be destiny? ONE SHOT. Entry for Song Prompt Contest. AH, B/E

Ramble:  Another contest entry.  Exploring the way to relax a bit during medical school.  Very relatable, especially towards the end of the semester.

Marry Me

Marry Me written by:  Crazy ExGirlfriend23

Summary:  A girl and a boy, best friends, grow up together, living next door to each other. Many firsts happen between the two. One falls for the other; will the other fall, too? Marriage is in the future. Will it be two best friends marrying each other, or will it be one marrying the wrong person while the other watches with a heavy heart and tears in their eyes?

Ramble:  I'll admit this is a super sweet story!  I mean, a very cute scene of Edward and Bella playing when they were younger, to Edward taking a leap of faith.  While he could have had better timing, better late than never?

Snow White

Snow White written by:  KitsuShel

Summary:  As a teenager, Bella makes a promise to stay away from her best friend's brother. Will that promise still be kept when they meet again almost a decade later? Contest Entry in TwiFandomNews's Song Prompt Contest, inspired by the song Snow White by Dennis Lloyd.

Ramble:  A quick one-shot, looking at the present, as well as mentions of the past.  Bella is Alice's friend, who likes Edward.  Snow White is a childhood nickname.  A quick read deserves a quick ramble. :P

Dream or Reality?

Dream or Reality? written by:  ceceprincess1217

Summary:  Here is my Entry to the Dirty Talkin' Edward Contest. You've read the entry, now see the beginning... Bella's husband is off to a secret mission to serve his country. Pregnant and heartbroken Bella finds herself in a dream like no other.

Ramble:  The first chapter, the one from a contest is sad and steamy.  I'm pretty sure I've read the beginning before, but there was a while where I was reading but not documenting, and if it is documented, maybe the ramble is different.  But man, do I remember reading the entries of this contest in the past.  Probably one of my favorite contests that took place.  The rest of the story fills in some of the blanks as far as how Edward and Bella met, as well as the events leading up to chapter one.  With a jump to the future.  Renee and Charlie are not the most supportive of Bella's new relationship.  The Daddy tag is more for the nickname between the couple, they were not totally into the fetish Daddy and Little relationship.

Secret Santa

Secret Santa written by:  MeteorOnAMoonlessNight

Summary:  Depressed over thinking she'll be fired before the holidays, Bella decides to get drunk at the company party. Woken the next morning by Rose texting her to look at Facebook posts from the night before, she realizes exactly how drunk she got—and it's bad. She and Santa were very naughty, but the worst comes when Bella realizes exactly who was playing Santa.'18 TFFA 2nd Fave Ficlette

Ramble:  A not so secret, secret Santa.  Edward is the boss, and tires to keep human resources fro firing people over the holiday.  He and Bella leave the party together.  Bella thinks she will be fired, and in the end she is fired, but it works out for the better in the long run.

Winter In The Air

Winter In The Air written by:  KitsuShel

Summary:  When her mother, Mrs. Kringle, guilts Bella into coming home to the North Pole, will the winter in the air make her decide to stay? Can she bring herself to face the green-eyed elf that haunts her heart? Jingle All The Way 3rd Place Judge's Winner. *edited summary*

Ramble:  This is a very fun and different spin on a Christmas story.  In this story, I'm not that crazy about Mrs. Kringle.  While at first, it seems like she is trying to help, by the middle/end of the story, it seems like she was working under a lot of assumptions.  A cute couple is broken up due to misunderstandings, though one was ready to give up their birthright to be with the one they love.

Mate

Mate written by:  sheviking

Summary:  "His gaze travels up and down my body, and I watch as he palms himself through his jeans, almost as if he's unaware of it, but I can tell he's straining against the button fly. Then, he leans over me again, and this time I don't shut my eyes. "Mate."" 1st place winner Public Vote for the Red-Eyed Edward Contest

Ramble:  Edward has more of the 'traditional' vampire feel, while he stays on the animal diet.  Bella's first day at school is very different, with Edward wanting to get closer to her at his first glance of her.  Things escalate to the point where Edward doesn't really come back, according to the school.  There is a mating ritual to set the bond permanently.  So this is a slightly different story from the usual love at first sight type of thing.  This story has the baser vampire 'monster' and Edward sharing the same physical body.  Very intense at times, but a very cool and quick read.

My Little Santa

My Little Santa written by:  SoulsOnFire

Summary:  When Edward is forced into participating in this years office Secret Santa, will the grinchy CEO discover the true meaning of Christmas? Edward/Bella AH/AU [Oneshot] Winner of the 2018 Jingle All The Way Holiday FanFiction contest.

Ramble:  Edward is the boss and a Christmas grinch, I mean he just isn't that interested in the Christmas spirit.  Alice, his sister, talks him into participating in a Secret Santa.  Readers find out that Edwar and Bella got each other in the drawing.  Bella tries to understand Edward more, and they end up falling for each other.  As Christmas gets closer, they both come up with special gifts for the other person.  At the party, there is a slight misunderstanding with Lauren.  The story ends with Edward and Bella spending time together, a very sweet and happy ending. :D

At the Ball

At the Ball written by:  Commander In Chief Contest

Summary:  Cinderella is not the only one who met her prince charming at a ball. What happens when Bella goes to one of many inauguration balls being held in the President's honor? What if she re-meets her prince charming and is offered a position too good to pass up? Will she or won't she take it?

Ramble:  A very interesting contest entry.  I actually should make a note to check out this contest when I have time.  This story has some time jumps, but focuses on Edward and Bella.  Edward is the child of a former president, and meet the Swans.  For a bit there, it sounds like Edward and Bella worked closely together with part of it for the campaign and have a secret relationship.  A sweet happily ever after story.

Stolen Kiss

Stolen Kiss written by:  JonesnInDaHood

Summary:  Bella Swan's secret crush has no idea she exists. But she's not the only one with a secret.

Ramble:  A quick one shot with a twist.  I will admit that I had to scroll back to check the pairing of this story.  Partway through the story, I thought this was going to go a totally different direction.  Bella has a crush, and Edward is a shy guy.  A very adorable short story.

Minute Man

Minute Man written by:  2brown-eyes

Summary:  Minute Man is a nickname Edward has been haunted by since high school. Hopefully, reuniting with an old crush on New Year's Eve will change things for the better.

Ramble:  Oneshot contest entry.  A quick read, where Edward and Bella meet again for a reunion.

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.

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.

Student Relations

Student Relations written by:?  for:  Taste of the Forbidden Contest

Summary: Professor Cullen is having a HARD time literally with his new TA and he doesn't know what to do, can she help him with his problem?

Ramble:  This kind of reminds me of the professor/headmaster ( yeah, I remember rereading that a few times already) story I love.  This is a lot shorter, and innocent when compared to the story I am thinking about.  A quick comment about things are not always as they seem (or something like that).  Though I have to admit, I am curious to see how things turn out when more people find out about their relationship as well as what happens to the presentation at the end of the story. 

My Best Friend's Wife

My Best Friend's Wife written by:? for Taste of the Forbidden Contest

Summary: How does Edward tell his best friend's wife, who he happens to be in love with, that her husband is cheating on her? His plans to let it go for the night are spoiled when the woman he loves knocks at his door at four a.m. EXB Mature

Ramble:  So Bella starts out married to Jacob and things don't go as planned.  Instead of enjoying her marriage, she eventually feels more like a trophy wife than anything else.  A nice story pretty quick read.  While it is a quick read, it is well paced. :)

Fortunate Sons

Fortunate Sons written by: Louise Clark for:  SMYPContest

Summary: Carlisle is an award-winning war correspondent, who has lived out his dream. His sons follow in his footsteps; yet make their own way. The three of them survive being sent to Hell on Earth, the war-torn country of Vietnam, only to return home and realizing their lives are forever changed. This is their story. My entry for the 2012 Show Me Your Patriotism Challenge.

Ramble:  I remember being confused during part of the story, wondering who the two brother are talking about, before realizing that they are talking about Emmett's animal buddy/brother/partner.  Short with a touch of men in uniform. 

Let's Roll

written by: Letzigprincess for:  SMYPContest

Summary:

Ramble:  Ummm.... so remember when I said that I don't really like this system... yeah, here is the perfect example.  I know I read the story, I found the story mentioned on the contest page, but can't include a link since the author has not posted (I don't even know if they will post it at a later date).  Well, I guess this will be a place holder for the story.

By Your Leave

By Your Leave written by: jonesn353402 for:  SMYPContest

Summary: *WINNER* Judges Vote SMYPContest 2012! Honorably discharged Sergeant Major Edward Cullen meets widow Bella Black and her young son Seth. The ad says room for rent, but maybe they have more to offer each other than just space. FOR THE TROOPS! I dedicate this to you and your families.

Ramble:  I had a mini attack when I couldn't get to the story through the link I saved.  Little did I know that the contest page got rid of the entries since authors started to post them on their own profiles.  This is a pretty sweet and short story.  Seth seems like a super cute kid in this story!  Some of his questions and mannerism reminds me so much of the little people I know.

A Smokeless Fire

A Smokeless Fire written by: walkingwithgiants

Summary: He retired without achieving all but two of his goals. When Edward Cullen is offered the chance of a lifetime, he takes it. Except the World Cup wasn't the only thing he wanted after all. One-shot for Fandoms4SpecialOlympics.

Ramble:  So as I was working on this, I see a companion piece to this story, that covers Bella idolizing Edward as a little girl.  This has Bella as a soccer player who is learning from Coach Cullen as they play the world cup.
