A Hard Day's Night

A Hard Day's Night written by: SexyLexiCullen

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

Secrets and Lies written by: BellaScotia

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

The Nightingale Journals written by: kimpy0464

Summary:

Photobucket

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:

Banner

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?
**WINNER OF 5 SUNFLOWER AWARDS: Best Bella, Best Alice, Best All-Human, Best Drama, Best Romance**

Ramble: This story is on the longer side, but a really good read. Personally, I liked the beginning and the end more, just because the plot in the middle of the story was slower. Restaurant setting, with Edward as head chef and Bella as a server. I was really happy to see that the author posted pictures of the cloths they wear in the story, they look awesome! While Edward and Bella enjoy cooking, the world around them seem to keep throwing curve balls at them. While I really liked this story for the food aspect of it, I also enjoyed the mystery at some points of the story.

Zombie Fighters

Zombie Fighters written by: solostintwilight

Summary: Edward Cullen may be Mr. Popular at school, but he spends most of his time at home playing video games. He's good, but a mysterious player is better and shows him the ropes. What if it's someone he knows? *part of Wanna Be a Hardcore Nerdward contest*

Ramble: A pretty nice high school story, with a crush included. As a reader, I feel that we are given a better view of what takes place in the story and can enjoy the way things develop. That and I have to admit, that I love watching other people play games (I would probably keep killing myself if I play...)

Good Girl

Good Girl written by: ADAdancer

Summary:

Brought together from two separate worlds, Bella is the school
outcast and Edward is mixed in with the troubled crowd. After a stunt gone
wrong Edward has to tutor kids with Bella and starts to notice her more, but she is keeping a secret, she has leukemia and is dying.

Ramble: I feel that this story is A Walk to Remember, with Bella and Edward. Personally, I prefer this story to the actual book. I was actually able to read this story all in one sitting, since the story was completed before I got to it, and while I do not know how long it took me to read, it felt like time passed really quickly as I was reading.

The Wedding Photographer (One-Shot)

The Wedding Photographer (One-Shot) written by: Discordia

Summary:

Banner

When Bella is hired last minute to photograph a wedding for the Cullen family, she's grateful for the experience and the money. But upon her arrival, she begins to suspect there's another assignment on Esme Cullen's mind – one involving her handsome son, Edward...

Written for the Finding Your Voice: Fandom Fights Mental Illness fundraiser.

Ramble: A oneshot. There are a few small misunderstandings in the beginning that quickly get cleared up. It is a story that moves really quickly, and has a few funny spots.

Taking a Risk on Love

Taking a Risk on Love written by: Edward5953

Summary: Bella has always had a crush on Edward Cullen but he was always unattainable due to dating his boss Tanya. What happens when they go on a conference together and things are not what they seem between Edward and Tanya.

Ramble: Short oneshot. Bella works under Fantasy, who is/was seeing Edward. Tanya sends Bella and Edward to a conference together, thinking that Edward would not go for some one like her (the two of them seem to be splitting up from the beginning). And so, the story begins.

Mistress of Masen Manor

Mistress of Masen Manor written by: helluvabell

Summary:

A Regency Seduction

A gentleman.

A gentleman is a man of noble birth whose conduct conforms to a high standard of propriety. His behavior is beyond reproach. Usually Edward Cullen is the perfect definition of a gentleman… that is unless the new chamber maid, Isabella Swan, is nearby.

Ramble: I have to admit that this is one of the better 'past' stories I've read recently. Master of the manor who falls for a chamber maid. Part of me wishes that there will be more to this story, but at the same time, this is a really nice way of ending this story.

Playtime.

Playtime. written by: Roon1

Summary: Mistress and her slave enjoy some playtime.

Ramble: A bdsm oneshot between a husband and wife. This is on the short side, and for a first attempt it is not bad.
