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...)

The End and the Beginning
Summary: None given on the site (A Happy Assembly - completed stories)
Ramble: An interesting 'what if' story (spoilers ahead!!). The Mrs. Bennett is actually the second wife of Mr. Bennett. Kind of explaining why the older two daughters are so different from the others. Some of the characters are really different from what I expected, because there are quite a few changes from the original story. The background of Jane and Elizabeth is revealed over time. There are many, many chapters in this story. A long read that is well worth the time. Darcy a duke, on top of owning Pemberley. With the length of the story, the chapter is wrapped up nicely. Quite a few changes and secretes in this story. There were a few times when I got confused, because of some of the new characters in this story.

Red as Blood
Summary: A golden eyed demonking filled with hunger, a wicked stepmother jealous of a beauty she could never have, a beautiful princess haunted by magic, a mother's wish that bound them all. Retelling of Snow White. BK. SemiDarkfic.
Ramble: A twist on Snow White with the cast of Rurouni Kenshin. With a stronger presence of magic in this story. Some things are changed (mostly things added) when compared to the regular Snow White story, but for the most part the main parts are here.

Written in the Stars
Summary: Edward is king of a dying race, his planet torn by civil war. Bella is abducted to become his bride. From college student to Queen... Can she learn to love this strange man and help save his people? AU/OOC. Rated M for lemons, violence and mature themes.
Ramble: Wow, this is a great story. At first, I was a little hesitant to continue with the story in the beginning, but now I am really glad that I continued to read this story. It is really interesting to imagine how things might be in the future.

Fearfully Rage UC Outtake, Chap 18, EPOV
Summary: Sir Edward has just lost a jousting match, humiliating himself in front of Isabella. As his childhood demons overtake him, he finds the comfort he needs in his wife's touch, makes a revelation he does not expect, and for which he had only dared to hope.
Ramble: A quick look into what happened at the tournament in Edward's point of view. In this story, I found it really interesting to see how Edward needs to have Isabella by his side to keep him from going off on a rampage. This chapter show that really well.

Unexpected Circumstances
Summary: When a knight from another kingdom wins his choice of bride, he claims the handmaid instead of the princess. Isabella finds herself married and tossed into the middle of political schemes. What happens when she can't give him the one thing he must have?
Ramble: I feel very lucky that I came across a commenting tweet about this story and decided to check it out. Not only does this happen in a setting I really like (royal family etc.), but it is highly addicting. As I was reading this story, I found it really hard to step away from my computer until I was done. The characters and plot of the story is really well written. Looking at it now, the plot seems pretty simple, with a few twists and turns to keep things interesting. It is one of my favorites right now.

The Heart of a King
Summary: "I do not desire to be seen," I murmured. He stopped and laughed a little under his breath. "What if it is my desire?" Historical os. Tudors inspired. B/E Rated M, AH
Ramble: I love reading stories that are set around the Tudors time. With this short one, I found it really nice. It has some royalty, drama, quick fight, and the happily ever after kind of feel to it.

Wedding Belles for Prince Edward
Summary: As the Spare Heir, Prince Edward is looking to blow off a little steam as the festivities ramp up for his big brother's wedding. Inspired by the royal wedding. Rated for language and LEMONS! O/S E/B WARNING: Some E/Alice and E/Jessica action too!
Ramble: I can see how this is inspired by the royal wedding. Well, more like an interpretation of what happens at the rehearsal dinner, but still a well done lemon (if that makes any sense).

Voyeur
Summary: A demure princess visits Cullen Castle. She discovers a few things about the inhabitants and Prince Edward discovers that beneath her veil, a dangerously inquisitive creature lurks. A pervy One shot in honor of the Royal Wedding!
Ramble: The title describes the story really well. I did not really expect the two to go so well together. Really well written story, and hits the spot really well for titles and such.

Fate's Recipe
Summary: Bella is a young girl trying to make a life for herself in a land of Knights and Kings when she meets a beautiful boy. Can they find a happy life together when his family can destroy them both? AH/AU
Ramble: This is a very interesting human story. With the mention of guilds, and magic, this makes it one of the most interesting stories I've read. But be warned, the ending is really sad. I don't really don't want to give too much away, so this ramble will be really short.

Exposure
Summary: The vampire court is a dangerous place for a human girl, but especially when she appeals to a certain one of them... SMC contest entry for 'Underworld'.
Ramble: A super short story where people of higher means/power takes what they want. Well, with in reason. It is not a cold blooded taking, more like taking collateral on a debt... It goes on to tell when the family is really interested in the said collateral. At least that is what really stays in my mind after reading it...

A Royal Pain
Summary:
Carlisle Cullen is the King of England and has arranged the marriages for both his children: Emmett to Lady Rosalie, Alice to Lord Jasper, but now it's Edward's turn. Edward is torn. He's not in love with his fiancee, Tanya, but he knows the consequences of defying his father. When he meets and falls in love with Isabella Swan, a commoner, he decides to go against his father and refuse to marry Tanya, but will it break his family apart?
Ramble: At first when I saw that the story is 21 chapters long, I was kind of worried that it would take a long time for me to finish it because of all that is going on. But it turned out to be really easy to read, and feels quite short while reading it. At the end when Edward and Bella talk about movies and how similar their experience is like the said movie, I couldn't help but agree with what they said.Friday, June 25, 2010
Reluctant Royal
Summary: Princess Isabella Swan would rather dress as a commoner and learn to fight like the boys. She decides to test her fighting skills on a man she meets in the woods but is shocked to learn he may be her match, in more ways than one. Rated M! Lemons coming!
Ramble: Not exactly what I was looking for. It is a good story, don't get me wrong, but for the summary, I expected a more spirited Bella, who puts up more resistance, and does more things than just sneak out; if you know what I mean.

Summary: Bella can't afford any distractions as she works hard to achieve her dream of a John Hopkins acceptance letter. Edward, a playboy, is desperate to escape his royal duty. What happenes when these 2 meet? Will Edward change? The Prince and Me film crossover
Ramble: I watched this movie a while back, and this is like a retelling of the movie with the names Edward and Bella added in. A sweet story that stays pretty true to the movie. After reading this story, I really want watch the second movie...

~~Knights of Honor~~
Summary: Lord Edward is an Honorable Knight on a secret mission, Bella is offered to him as a gift from the Evil Duke Aro.
Ramble: I originally read this story on FFN, and later at The Writer's Coffee Shop. It is a really good epic tale story. And it portrays Mike as a 'nice' guy (even through we don't get much details about him... at least he tries...). This is labeled as royalty, even though the main characters are not necessarily royalty, there is mention of serving a king/queen in the story.
The Eyes of the Dragon (One-shot)
Summary: http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/AccioBourbon/1-knightdragon-a_sm41.png Sir Edward wishes to capture the attention of his Queen. Lady Bella is in love with Sir Edward. They both seek the help of Merlin, who has plans of his own for our hero and heroine. Step into a world of magic, romance -- and oh, yes -- dragons... where not all is at it seems.
Ramble: It has a quick mention of Jasper, but other than that, it is all about Edward and Bella. It is a nice 'Knight of the Round Table' period story, but at the same time,I wish it was longer. Other than that, there really isn't anything to say.

My Lord Cullen
summary: When the King turns his back on the Church in hopes of producing a legitamite male heir, Isabella is forced to chose between the Queen who has raised her and the man that she loves.
Ramble: I am still trying to figure out how to put the links up. Like in this case, the link is from Twilighted, but there is also a version of this story of fanfiction that I know of...anyways... This story covers one of my favorite periods in history. The story of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I are really interesting to me. Although in this story, Edward is only a Lord, it still fits the time of the story, and includes a lemon with a happy ending. It works really well for a quick read too!!

In These Final Hours
Summary: (AU)(rated R for chapter 12) Kaoru's tomboy lifestyle is ruined when she's forced to become the personal escort to the prince. Her duty is to protect him from a prophecized disaster... and duty failed can have a heavy price. (Complete)
Ramble: The first story that is not Twilight! Yes, I do read other stories. There is something about court live and the lies that are present to keep order. There is mention of magic, and sibling relations. A good story, even if you do not know the story of Rurouni Kenshin.

The King's Mistress
Summary: In the age where men ruled the world, women were pawns in the vast game of chess that was the royal court. An intriguing and captivating tale of love, betrayal, lust and sex. "For, behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone."
Ramble: King Edward of England, and Lady Isabella both humans. There are some parallels to King Henry VIII, but then again, royal court stories seem to have many similarities. People always refer to King Henry, because the stories of his courts is the one most people know. Can't wait to read more from this author!!! I'll be waiting to read more from this author.
