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...)

Punishment
Summary: Isabella learns to never cross her Master. Heavy D/s. One Shot. Rated M for sexual content.
Ramble: Part of me wishes that there was a little more background to the story... but that is just me being greedy, wanting to find more and longer stories. Perhaps it is time for me to add the story that started this for me... Anyways, back on track, there are many parts to this story, and it is not just punishment. The story does start out with caning, so be warned!
Becoming Isabella Cullen
Summary: Edward is struggling to look after his little brother and his family's company after the murder of his parent's. Bella is struggling to pay her bills after dropping out of university and moving to London. What happens when Bella becomes Edward's nanny?
Ramble: This story has a very cute five-year-old Jasper and Alice. Although this is not the first business person in need of a nanny, it is one of the first where the nanny is for his younger brother. It is fun to read about how a young Jasper comes to accept a stranger, and unknowingly acts as a test for his brother's wife.

Silence Speaks the Loudest
Summary: A shy, quiet boy seeks out the solace that only his best friend can give. His hardships give light to insecurities. Entry for the Exploration of the Senses contest.
Ramble: I have to admit that this is a lower rating than usual, but this is a really sweet story. The hardship pulls the friendship even closer than other friendships. A sweet story to get the mind off of reality for a while.

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...
It's our Anniversary
Summary: After 30 years of marriage, Edward finds a way to help Bella remember their beginnings...
Ramble: This one is like a very quick trip down memory lane for a vampire. It took me a while to realize that Edward and Bella are vampires in this story...
Simple Math
Summary: Baker Goddess Bella counts the simple connections she has with the dirty, hot construction worker next door to her bakery. Will her simple math have a positive outcome or is she destined for unfulfilled fantasies? My entry into the MEN AT WORK CONTEST.
Ramble: A cool oneshot with a baker Bella and construction worker Edward. the ending is really good, with slight restriction of the limbs in a newer fashion.

Move with the Times
Summary: What if Edward met Bella when he was human but still got changed? And then she got sick? Did he really have a rebellious stage? And how will the Cullen's react to this information. Rated M because where there's Irish there is lemons
Ramble: A story that takes place in the 'current' time, with snippets from the past. There is a little twist, where Edward and Bella met when they were human, but other than that not too many other changes. I have to admit, the fact that Bella works in a bar is really interesting, it reminds me of another story I've read before. *Note to self, add the story here when I get a chance*

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan Regarding the Inferior Intellect of Hockey Whores
Summary: Edward Cullen is an anomaly as far as Bella Swan is concerned, defying all her preconceived notions about the whorishness of hockey players. Through incessant stalking and persistence, can Edward wears down Bella's resistence and teaches her to embrace her inner hockey hooker? A ridiculous love story.
Ramble: I have to admit, I feel like I cheated by waiting until the story was almost done before reading it. While reading stories while authors post, I always have to start from the beginning a lot of times, because my memory sucks. Anyways, about this story, a story that gets into hockey, but not too much. This story has a lot of funny and sad parts, but it is well balanced. I have to admit, that the last chapter is the funniest to me. So go off and read it, it is an awesome story!!

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, August 20, 2010
The Rain Season
Summary: After trauma of losing her parents, Bella receives a letter from old family friend Esme inviting her to come to Scotland where she and her family are currently settled. Angsty read with AH cast and perhaps Edward in a kilt.
Ramble: Scotland sounds like such an interesting place to live in if you don't mind the rain. The descriptions used in this story is really good. While reading the story, it felt like I was able to see some of the things described in the story. In this story, there are a lot of ups and downs in the characters' lives, but that is what makes the story interesting and seem more real, so I can't really complain about that.
