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.

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

Cutting the Edge

Cutting the Edge written by:  lollyluvsya

Summary:  Bella has a simple, quiet life. She owns her own hair salon in the quiet town of Forks but has always thirsted for more. A late customer finds her putting down the comb and chasing sexual chemistry. The charming and intense Edward Cullen is danger but somehow she can't help resist him. She just need to discover what he's hiding. EXB, Humans, Hot lemons, Rated M! **COMPLETE**

Ramble:  I'll admit that this story threw me for a loop.  The beginning was very calm, and then there is the mystery surrounding Edward.  Who comes and goes from town.  Bella wants to surprise Edward and is in turn surprised in turn.  After this surprise, the story is super action-packed, and it was hard to put the story down until you reach the end.  Very easy to read, and a little bit of everything to keep readers' attention and interest.

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.

One Big Happy Family

One Big Happy Family written by:  KittenAlice2

Summary:  Bella is a Vampire she has a special gift when she touches someone she knows their desires and can make them come true if she chooses. What if Bella met Esme would she make her Desires' come true? What if the Volturi learned of her gift. Only rated M for hinting at things and Language later.

Ramble:  Bella has a very interesting power in this story, and it turns out that she Traveled with Garret before.  She helps Esme reach her dream, but did not stay around to explain things.  Eventually, the Volturi get involved because someone said that they saw an immortal child.  I really liked this story.  Though the ending was a little abrupt like it felt like there was something missing.

The Seattle Creature Feature

The Seattle Creature Feature written by:  Honeymoon Edward

Summary:  When it came to Bella Swan, Edward Cullen wore his heart on his sleeve and his socks on his hands. Winner of the I Love My Readers Contest. Based on a story idea by Ghostreader24.

Ramble:  A very cute story with some very interesting descriptions of the puppets.  But man, that beaver puppet at the end of the story was a funny and facepalm worthy moment at the same time.

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.

At Sunset

At Sunset written by:  Lady Tazz 

Summary:  While on vacation with her best friend, Bella just wants to have a good time and soak up some sun. Angela has other plans for her when she notices that the hot lifeguard Edward is checking Bella out. When an accident brings them face to face will Bella let go of her past insecurities and live in the moment? AH/AU Edward/Bella

Ramble:  The good old spring break story.  With lifeguard Edward.  Bella runs into trouble, and Edward comes in to rescue her.  They end up spending time together.  In the end, it isn't super clear what will happen beyond spring break, but the two couples decide on enjoying the time they have together. 

In My Brother's Shadow

In My Brother's Shadow written by:  2brown-eyes

Summary:  As a child, Bella always felt second best when in it came to her twin brother, Emmett. Now years later, an accident has brought her back to Forks. Will she be thrust back into her brother's shadow? Or will she be finally be seen as something other than Emmett's sister.

Ramble:  Ok, so this ramble will probably have some spoilers, but wow.  It has been a few days since I've read this story, and man, oh man, I still remember most of what happened (at least I think I do).  Emmett and Bella are siblings. Charlie is able to connect with Emmett more than Bella, and he just brushes her aside.  Eventually, Bella and Renee leave for sunnier places.  Renee is diagnosed with seasonal depression.  Renee dies before she married Phill, though they were in a serious relationship, and Alice is his daughter.  Bella is contacted when Charlie and Emmett are in an accident.  Skipping over things, Edward is in trouble with his parents, and in general because of street racing.  He and Bella start to hang out with each other.  Bella learns a lot more about her brother during her stay in Forks.  Later, we find out that there is some undercover work going on.  By the end of the story, there are a few characters that I wanted to go in and smack, though things do work out for the most part.  The abuse tag is there, for some of the violence that was hinted at, and the fact that there is some abuse, as Carlisle said, not all abuse is physical.

Give Me a Sign

Give Me a Sign written by:  Rochelle Allison

Summary:  Edward's a doctor at Atlanta's Piedmont Hospital and Bella's the construction worker always holding him up in traffic. But what happens when their paths cross elsewhere?

Ramble:  I'll admit I had a hard time keeping a straight face while reading this story.  I mean, Bella working at a construction site is kind of funny.  To me, Bella is usually more on the clumsy side, and there are so many places and incidents that could be dangerous for people like her/me.  Edward is a doctor, Bella works at a construction site, Alice and Jasper own a food truck. 

Someone Else

Someone Else written by: MissLiss15

Summary:  Bella feels more comfortable in the virtual world than she does in the real world. After meeting Edward in a chat room one night, they begin to develop a friendship. But once he sends her his picture, she wishes she could be someone else.

Ramble:  Bella is a little larger than the regular Bella.  She meets someone in a chat room, and enjoy talking to them.  But when asked for a picture, she just wasn't comfortable and ended up sending a picture of her roommate instead.  Edward and Bella eventually meet and their relationship develops from there.  The story ends with a future take.  The title might be a reflection of how Bella often wished to be someone else, especially at the beginning of the story.

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.

Satisfaction

Satisfaction written by:  Dix E. Normous 

Summary:  Bella awaits Edward to connect in a night of passion. This is a lemon, read at your own discretion.

Ramble:  The summary says it all.  Sometimes people just need to read a quick lemon.  While there isn't much of a story/background as some of the other stories, this is a quick lemon.

Old City Bar

Old City Bar written by:  Iadorepugs

Summary:  On Christmas Eve anything is possible, perhaps even a miracle. How do we know the effect our actions will have, even years later? Edward and Bella are going to find out what results from an act of kindness.

Ramble:  Edward owns a bar.  For some reason when I clicked into the story, I thought Bella would own the bar.  Yeah, maybe I had a different story in mind when I clicked in?  A cool Christmas story based on a song.  There is a little Christmas miracle and we see the start of a new tradition being started.

His Own Personal Brand of Heroine

His Own Personal Brand of Heroine written by:  Honeymoon Edward

Summary:  When Edward Cullen first arrived in Hollywood, he didn't have a clue; four years later, and he still doesn't. It's a good thing his personal assistant is Bella Swan. This fic was written in honor of my pre-reader, K's, birthday. BxE, HEA

Ramble:  A fun one-shot with Edward as an actor, and how Bella helps him.  A perfect quick read with some giggles.  Some of the things this Edward does...

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

Fall For You

Fall For You written by:  TheQueenWriter

Summary:  Bending over backwards to please everyone seems to be getting Bella absolutely nowhere. Tired of ignoring his feelings for his people-pleasing friend, Edward is determined to make Bella realise there is more to life than being a yes man.

Ramble:  Growing up, Edward is known as a trouble maker.  While he has cleaned up his act, many people remember him with that label, one of the downsides to living in a small town, I guess.  Bella owns a bakery and has a hard time saying no to people.  To her, she often says yes to make others happy, even if their request doesn't really help or mean anything to her.  Edward is a mechanic in this one, and there is a scene where they both attend a hospital ball.  And Bella has a thing for Fall, Halloween, pumpkins in this story.

Final Jeopardy!

Final Jeopardy! written by:  Foenix2phorks

Summary:  A gameshow helped bring us together and gave us years of friendship. One night away from the TV might end it. Betting it all during Final Jeopardy is a risky move. But sometimes that's the only chance you have to win. AH.

Ramble:  Bella is Alice's friend, Edward is Alice's brother.  At first, Edward was ready to dismiss Bella, thinking that she won't have much to add.  The two form a bond over the show Jeopardy.  Both like each other, but at the same time don't want to risk the friendship they developed over the years.  With the help of a meddling Alice, the two start a relationship.  Alice actually comes up with a very cool wedding gift for the two of them.  Both Bella and Edward are competitive, and Bella has a fun way of communicating towards the end. For these two, Jeopardy is a way to relax and spend time together.  And now I'm actually kind of glad I started watching the show again (and I love the fact that I was able to watch most of Jeopardy James' run last year... DVR caused me to miss the last few episodes).
