NKR's Rec: The Trip Home by @MsKathy

2012-02-09T11:04:00.000-08:00

The Trip Home by MsKathy

Summary: When Bella takes a long overdue trip back to Forks, an unexpected detour helps her find her way home. AU/AH ExBxJ

Rated: M - Romance/Drama - Complete

I don't know what planet I've been on or rather yet, I don't know why I waited so long to start reading this one but I did. I finished reading The Trip Home just after the first chapter of The Trip Home 2 was posted. It was damn good timing on my part and I didn't even know it. MsKathy has created a wonderful world and incredible characters. She has posted prequels and outtakes too!

The Trip Home is a poly fic. It's not the first poly fic I've ever read but I didn't fall in love with the others like I did TTH. MsKathy owns my fic heart right now, I'll just admit that now. I have never been a Jasper fan, I'd read Jasper/Bella fic but I didn't love him. MsK changed that pretty quickly. Now, not only am I a Jasper far, but I'm an Edward/Bella/Jasper fan too.

TTH is about Bella's journey to visit home. She runs into Jasper and Edward in the airport and sparks fly. After a night of passion *snicker* the three bond unexpectedly. Their desire to see each other again is strong, but there's a downside. They live in different cities, entirely different states, as a matter of fact and it's a struggle to be apart. Edward and Jasper have had an ongoing relationship but being separated from Bella is hard on them.

But they make it work. Jasper and Edward are already roomies, but they fly Bella into see them as often as possible. And vice versa, the guys go to Bella too. To see their relationships grow stronger, both the already established one between E/J and the one they share with B -- it's a beautiful part of their story.

If you haven't already read The Trip Home and you think the poly aspect might put you off, don't let it. These characters are real. They laugh, they love, they go through hardships. MsK doesn't gloss over the type of relationship they are starting. Of course society would frown upon it; and that's part of their struggle too. Keeping it a secret from strangers, friends and family. But they never let it break them apart. The three of them are stronger together than most 'normal couples'.

It was fun to read about all of that, even the heart breaking moments. I felt like these were my own friends. It's a beautiful story that you won't want to see end- I know I didn't. Luckily, MsK has started posting The Trip Home 2! Go say hello to Bella, Edward and Jasper. You won't regret it.

NKRs Rec: Roughing the Passer by @stephk0525

2011-12-09T13:13:00.001-08:00

Roughing the Passer by stephk0525

Summary: Oklahoma University QB and draft hopeful Riley Biers is on the precipice of a promising NFL career. His childhood dreams are about to materialize, yet Riley's thoughts are consumed with rival Florida QB Jasper Whitlock. Addition to Fandom4SAA o/s.
Rated: M - Romance/Drama - Pairing: Riley & Jasper

In my (vast?) knowledge of Twilight fanfic, canon and non canon pairings, I am almost certain this is the first boy/boy multi chapter fic I've read. I know. I know. It's shocking really. I do have other slash fics on my list of to be reads though. And there has been random one-shots, and maybe a flounced chaptered fic or two, but nothing I've ever fallen in love with. Does this mean that Steph popped my boy slash cherry? I guess it kinda does.

Roughing the Passer started out as a one-shot, but with some encouragement Steph has decided to extend it. Everybody say YAY! Go ahead, I'll wait while you cheer.

*twiddles thumbs*

Ok. So. Jasper and Riley are two college football players trying to get drafted to the NFL. *wiggles eyebrows* I know, right?? They are delicious, from the get-go. Or should I say, from huddle? Or locker room? Ah, the locker room *eyes glaze over*

Ahem. Sorry.

But seriously, who doesn't love hot boys pining over other hot boys in their yummy uniforms. I'm kind of jealous of both Riley and Jasper, to be honest. There is so much tension between the two of them that you could cut the air with a knife. Come on! Really. Football boys. Foot. Ball. Boys. In tight pants. In locker rooms. Making eyes at one another. Having hot, naughty sexy times. It will make you break out the smelling salts, take a cold shower, or... I don't know, just want to leave a review begging her for more? Any of those works.

I can't tell you how much giggling I do as soon as an alert hits my inbox. And lucky for you, it's just a few chapters in so you can start reading now... and then wait with the rest of us, trying not to check your email a million times a day, hoping for more Rough guys. I promise, you definitely will love these two. A lot.

'Scuse me while I go re-read some (or all) chapters.

NKRs Rec: Hair of the Dog by @MJinAspen

2011-10-04T08:18:00.000-07:00

Hair of the Dog by MJinAspen

Summary: AH. "I need a ride. She's throwing baked goods." Sometimes personal growth is the best HEA. Take a few peeks into the volatile, passionate, and occasionally sweet love affair between Edward Cullen and Leah Clearwater.
Pairing: Edward/Leah - Rated: M

OK. So. If I could just rec every fic written by MJinAspen for the next few weeks, I would do just that. I love love love her writing and her pairings. I can't really choose a favorite story by her but I'm doing my rec on this one because it's COMPLETE. Mhm, I know how some of you feel about reading a fic that is a work in progress. Which, I totally get!

Hair of the Dog is the first Edward/Leah fic I read all the way through. I'd tried others in the past and I just couldn't get into it. I just never read Edward when he's not paired with Bella. BUT. HotD is captivating. MJ has such a lovely style of writing and a beautiful way of telling a story that I was hooked immediately.

Leah and Edward have a rocky relationship that isn't always sunshine and roses. Not that there aren't sweet moments too, because there are. And yummy, hot ones too. Edward has his issues and Leah is tired of dealing with them. She's had it with him. So it's either Edward goes, or she does. She makes the choice for both of them.

A huge part of their relationship failing is that neither of them says how they feel. Edward does thing just to piss off Leah; to see if she cares at all or if it's just sex for her. Leah has a raging temper so, of course, she reacts. Boom goes their relationship. And that's all in chapters 1 and 2.

Most of HotD is about their journey and their personal growth. While I am usually hard core "IT MUST HAVE A TRADITIONAL HEA" - this is not exactly like that. But don't turn away! Because it does have a HEA, just a different type than we are use to. And I think that's why I loved the fic so much - it was different and original and creative. Just beautiful.

I don't want to spoil anything for you because you really do need to read this. It's short, for those of you that stay away from super long fics. And really, you won't read anything like it anywhere else. I can't praise MJ and her skill enough. GO. Now.

And.... we're BACK!

2011-09-11T14:40:00.000-07:00

Unattached by TwilightGrace23

Summary: After finding herself suddenly single, Bella meets Jacob - a Marine on leave in Seattle who's about to ship off to Iraq. Can their relationship last through a deployment and all that comes with it?

Rating: M - All Human

Pairing: Jacob/Bella

So…I usually only rec oneshots on Misfics because if I want to rec a multi-chaps, I have to read it entirely again before writing anything on it. Needless to say, I really don’t have the time. But I found this fic yesterday and read it in one go. It was just SO good I couldn’t let it go away without without telling you all about it. I also don’t understand how I didn’t come across it earlier. I mean, I love Marine Jacob. There’s just something about him being in the army that gets to me.

I can already hear some of you cringe because the fic is All Human. I know some of you just can’t read Twilight fanfiction if it’s All Human. Sometimes, I’m the same. I like my Jacob to be part of a tribe, to be completely and totally Native American (which means NO stubble, guys, no stubble.) and I like Bella when she’s clumsy and all. But just like the two characters fell in love instantly, well, I couldn’t stop reading this fic. You see, Bella just broke up with a guy and her neighbor tries to play matchmaker. She wants Bella to meet her grandson. Bella absolutely doesn’t want to until she meets the grandson (or more exactly, the step-grandson, if you can even call it that way). Here, enters Jacob. They like each other from the beginning. The problem? Jacob’s about to go back to Iraq for a year. They only have one week to spend together.

I love how afraid they both are to admit their feelings because they know that they’re going to be apart for a very long time but they both realize that if they don’t take a chance then they could miss on something wonderful. I even loved Alice in this fic, which is saying a lot because I despise vampire Alice. Human Alice is good. I like her. It was hard to see that Bella didn’t get along with her family but Jacob’s always there to help, even if he’s thousands of miles away. Another thing that I loved and made me laugh a lot is that Bella doesn’t think before talking. And she even says things that she just meant to think and keep for herself. I find this funny since it’s something that I do, too. And it’s kind of embarrassing when it happens to you.

And I feel like I’m saying it all the time but come on! Jake’s a Marine. You shouldn’t need to know more to want to read the fic. Jake’s a Marine! I was hooked by this fact from the moment I read the summary and so should you ;)

NKRs Rec: The Agent by @CharTwilightMom

2011-03-06T10:05:00.001-08:00

The Agent by CharTwilightMom

Summary: One Shot written for the Dirty Talking Jasper contest. Agent Jasper Whitlock moves into The Bradley, where the connected and protected live. But what happens when what's between his head and legs, gets into his assignment. AU/AH/OCC,M for lemon of course
Rated: M - Pairing: - Jasper & Alice

The Agent is a one-shot but the awesome CharTwilightMom. It follows Jasper as a government agent in charge of protecting Alice, niece of the US President. She doesn't know that she's being watched and guarded. Jasper takes the time to get to know her neighbors, and Alice.

As time passes Jasper finds himself drawn to her and befriends Alice on a more personal level. The pull they each feel for one another is undeniable and grows until it's almost unbearable.

A few hot dates and even yummier moments together and mmm hello Jasper/Alice sandwich.

I have to admit that usually and in general I am not a Jasper fic reader but seriously, CTM did a wonderful job telling Mr. Agent Man's story. I definitely recommend this one for it's beautifully written words and for how well you get to know Jasper. It's incredibly hard to let the reader into a characters life when you are writing only a one-shot. CTM does it fantastically.

MF6 Recs: The New Normal by faite-comme-moi

2011-02-11T02:54:00.001-08:00

The New Normal by faite-comme-moi

Summary: "Just because he didn't imprint back doesn't mean you'll never be together. You'll just have to convince him how lovable you are. How can Edward resist your magnetic charm?"
Rating: M Pairing: Edward/Jacob
AU/Slash. Humor, Angst and Romance all in one!

If you know me, even just a little, you know that I don’t like Edward. I usually can’t stand him and I don’t own Team Jacob hoodies just because I like spending money. There’s one exception to my rule, though. And you wouldn’t think that I read slash, either. Well, let me prove you wrong. Edward is a great character to play with if Bella is not involved. I actually like reading slash fics with Edward in them. And let me tell you, it’s easier to find stories when he’s with Jasper than with Jacob. But there’s this great one shot which is different from other fics for several reasons.

First, it’s not All Human. Jacob is a werewolf and Edward is a vampire all right. Jacob belongs to the same pack we know in the books but there’s no Bella involved in the fic. At the beginning, Edward comes back to Forks and the Cullens want the wolves to get to know his smell so they won’t kill him by accident. But then, Jacob imprints on Edward. Yeah, it’s weird. They all think it is. Especially when Jacob doesn’t want to break the imprint but rather wants to know Edward better. It’s hard for me to imagine Jacob as a gay character but everything’s possible in fanfiction and it really works in this fic even if he apparently liked girls before he saw Edward. It completely changes his life and from now on, he’s going to try to spend time with Edward who didn’t seem to be affected by the effects of imprinting.

The pack is funny as hell in this fic, too. And for someone who usually doesn’t write about wolves, I think she did a pretty good job. Okay, I admit that I may be a bit biased. She’s my beta (and she’s one excellent one) but I wouldn’t rec one of her fics just because of this. This one shot is really good and I’m pretty sure that by the time you get to the end, you’ll all wish that she writes more of the story. It’s a really good read and it received Two Judge’s Selections in the Plot Bunny Contest it was written for.

Happy Birthday @nicekittyRAWR!!!

2011-02-02T17:09:00.001-08:00

To the amazing NKR, this is us wishing you all the best for the next year! You make every one of us smile, so we hope this makes you smile all day on, and even a few days after, your birthday! Lots of love from your adoring fans! But first, a little message from 5 beautiful boys!

I really went way overboard on a pack kids slumber party scene, complete with 14 year old Claire freaking out on Quil about her maturing...but it's pretty craptastic. I don't write for a reason, but for NKR, I will at least attempt an homage. Here it is in all of it's horror. I just had to throw in my happy bday wishes to her:)

Sue (@suzmac33)

"Can I hold her Uncle Bry?" Claire said although she was already reaching for Halona. She settled down on Quil's lap and went to the "safe baby holding position" that Aunt Emily had taught her when Eli was born. "Hi baby Halona. I'm your favorite cousin Claire. We're going to be best friends." She motioned to Quil, who was resting his chin on her shoulder and smiling down. "That's my Quily. We're going to get married & have babies of our own someday. Right Quil?" She said turning to catch his eye. "If you still want to marry me, then of course we will Claire Bear."

Quil is one of my best friends. It still amazes me how much his life changed the day Claire came over to Sam's house for her tea party. Hook line & sinker. "Where's Aunt Lillah, Uncle Bry?" Claire said looking around the living room for Lillah. "She went to take a nap. Hali has been doing a number on Aunt Lillah's sleeping." Claire looked down at Hali and stroked the little patches of her hair. She sighed and leaned back onto Quil's chest. A happy family in the making.

So @lanamoosh ran into Jake and Seth. They're dolls, so they can only think things (because their lips don't move), so maybe she's a mind reader ;-).

Happy Birthday, NKR! It's been great getting to know you on Twitter, and I've been impressed by your commitment to your health, to reading, and to having fun. Hope your birthday is a memorable one with friends and family! Hugs, Jennifer Lane (@JenLanebooks)

Happy, happy birthday, BB!!! Hope you have a fantabulous day! I misses you muches! I heartchoo hard!!

*nibbles*cuddles*snuggles*smooches*licks*smirks*

I hope you have a wonderful birthday. You deserve it! Thanks for being
my friend! Love you!

Todream (@todream3)

To my bestest, one of the most wonderful women I've even been blessed to know. You truly are the other half of my brain and my sister from another mister!

I was a little inspired by this pic, hope you enjoy!

When Embry opens the door for Jared and I, I can't help but to giggle. I don't have to say anything though, because Jared speaks for me, "What the hell are you wearing? You look ridiculous."

As I step into the house, Lillah pulls me into a tight hug. Or as tight a hug as two very pregnant women can share. "Happy Birthday, Kim!"

Lillah twines her arm into mine, leading me through the living room to the back porch. She whispers to me as we walk, "He found those glasses at the store last night."

"Those glasses are awful. Awful P-I-M-P," Emily says with a chuckle as Lillah and I ease ourselves slowly down into the porch swing.

"That's basically what Embry said. He wanted to rub into Paul how BA he was, since he's SURE he got me pregnant the first time we had sex." Lillah rolls her eyes and I can't help but laugh. I warned her that these things happen fast with our wolves, but just like the rest of us, she didn't care. As much as the guys bodies are primed for continuing the line of wolves, it seems there is something inherent in being an imprintee that makes us want that same thing. We all want to be mother's for the next generation.

Rachel walks in, rolling her eyes as she glances at Lillah and I, "You two have your hands full with those idiots!"

I look over at Lillah and we speak in unison, "We know."

Jared and Embry walk out onto the back porch, laughing and elbowing one another. They stop when they realize that the back porch is essentially full with imprintees.

"Uh, I think I heard Sam calling my name," Embry says, but I can see him winking at Lillah.

"Yeah, I'm sure I heard Jake. Gotta go ladies!" Jared gives me a quick peck on the lips, whispering "Happy Birthday" for the millionth time today, before turning to the door of the screened in porch.

Embry's hand is on the latch just as Emily stands up, "Not so fast you two."

Lillah gives Embry a smile as she speaks, "Embry! You know I want pictures today."

"I know. You want me to take one of you and and the birthday girl?" he asks as he reaches for the camera that is sitting beside Rachel.

"Oh hell no!" Rachel grabs the camera then grins over at Emily, "Please, stand in between those two idiots. Let's put some class in this picture!"

Emily moves to stand in between Jared and Embry. Once they are all set Rachel grins, "Say P-I-M-P!"

Almost as fast as the flash on the camera goes off, I can see Jared and Embry running into the back yard to join the other guys around the grill. As Rachel passes the camera around for everyone to see a preview of the picture, Ness softly asks what Jared got me for my birthday.

Ness and I don't usually talk much, but I've always liked her. I give her a soft smile but I can feel my cheeks turning pink, "He gave me a weekend away whenever I want after the baby is born. Sue said she would watch the baby for us. He's going to take me to the same place Embry took Lillah for their honeymoon."

The women all sigh but as they are lost in the romantic gesture by my husband, I burst out laughing as Lillah hands me the camera. "He might be romantic, but I swear, some days, he's still the sixteen-year-old boy I had a crush on."

"Just one of the many reasons why we love them, right?" Lillah leans over, her eyes locked on the camera.

"One of many, for sure."

Writing Challenge: Bathed in Black

2011-01-19T08:08:00.001-08:00

Objective:

The inclusion of Jacob Black into the Twilight Saga has literally split the fandom in half; friend versus friend, mother versus daughter, dog versus...sparkly sexy vampires.

No matter the team preference, I want them all. Whether Jacob gets killed off by a rogue tsunami in space in New Moon or Bella bitch slaps Edward before she rides off into the sunset atop a russet wolf in Eclipse; I want to see everything. 'Bathed in Black' entries just have to be Jacob-centric (Jacob as a main character), but other than that, it's no holds barred! Slash, collaborations, Blackwater; it's all welcome. Stories will be posted to the Fanfiction.net C2 Bathed In Black

All entries accepted now through February 7th, 2011

WHs Rec: Into the Woods by @cereuleanblue

2011-01-18T09:15:00.001-08:00

Into The Woods by cereuleanblue (@cereuleanblue)

Summary: Based off Little Red Riding Hood & not your typical Bella/Jacob. Who's really the big bad wolf? All wolves don't have fur... Rated M for future lemons.
Rated: M - Pairing: Bella & Jacob

I've broken my Emmett fic addiction! Well, not really, but I've at least I've gone WAY outside of my comfort zone for this week's rec.

A couple of notes before I get started. First, as much as I LOVE Jacob (especially movie Jacob - RAWR!), to me, Bella was always meant to be with Edward. That pairing is what first brought me to Twilight, so I often have a hard time reading Jacob/Bella because it's just not my cup of tea. Second, I have absolutely no plans to go see "Red Riding Hood", simply because that hag Catherine Hardwicke directed it. Plus, it looks like just a wolf version of Twilight, without the creepy blue color over top. (If you haven't seen the trailer, you can see it here.)

All that said, I have to admit that I ADORE cereuleanblue's adaptation of "Little Red Riding Hood" with our favorite Twilight characters thrown in. I'm already cheering for Jacob to win and snarling at Edward, and we are only 8 chapters in.

Another big selling point: short chapters. As a REGULAR offender of writing long ass chapters, I appreciate an author that can convey a story with minimum words.

Finally, setting a fanfic story in Medieval France takes a bigger pair than I have sitting on my desk. It's definitely a risk, but it pays off beautifully.

Now that I have your interest, go check out "Into the Woods". Promise, you won't be disappointed.

Catch you on the flip side!

NKRs Rec: Something Blue by fngrdust (@fngrcufs & @lightstardust)

2011-01-12T14:49:00.001-08:00

Something Blue by fngrdust
Summary: They were something old, but they were also something borrowed, until the day she asked if they could be something new. AH/AU.
Rated: M - Genre: Romance/Humor - Pairing: Emmett & Rosalie

This is an author I have rec'd before. I normally don't repeat back to back if I can help it but I really am loving this; so we'll make an exception ;)

Something Blue is brought to us by the awesome pairing, fngrcufs and lightstardusting; aka "fngrdust". This time they are offering up a Emmett/Rosalie fic that is already tugging at my heart.

The story opens with Emmett and a sexy blonde going back to his awesome condo after a night out. His inner dialogue is everything you'd expect from Emmett; snarky and funny all the way. He and his lady love are rudely interrupted by his best friend, the one and only Rosalie Hale, who begins ringing his phone off the hook.

The next morning, Rose pops into Emmett's office to offer an apology and she admits she was jealous. But here's the catch: Rose and Emmett aren't together. Nope. They are just friends; and Rose, she's with someone else. Poor Emmett can't even get some lovin' for his lonely self. Sigh.

Their conversations are ripe with sexual tension. Seriously, who doesn't love a little UST? Personally, I am a sucker for it and it made me giddy when I found it in chapter 1 of Something Blue.

The two spend the evening together, going out to dinner to discuss business when Rose drops a bomb on Emmett. She's getting married and it's most definitely not to him. To make matters worse, she wants Emmett to be her "man of honor". Now Emmett has to figure out his feelings for Rose. Are they just friendly or is it something more?

If you enjoy stories with unrequited love or best friend falling for one another, you definitely need to read this one. There are so few "good" Emmett and Rose stories that this one is a breath of fresh air. It is beautifully written and a fun read. I hope you'll check it out and be sure to review and leave them some love if you do!

Next time I'll be rec'ing: A Sam/Bella fic!

Third Place of the “Moment that Makes You Turn to the Innocent Bystander Next to You and Stab Them in the Arm. Repeatedly. With a Spoon.” (The Underdog Awards)

-0-

I think we can all agree on the fact that Bella is a teeny tiny little bit too self-centered, right? I love this fic because Bella really does get a reality check although she may have also deserved a good slap on the face for hurting Jacob even if, technically, it’s Jacob who gets slapped. Poor guy. It makes me want to give him a big hug and…anyway. I’m getting carried away. This fic is sort of sad, there’s no other word for it. It deals with bittersweet memories of Jacob’s mom, and we all know how much Jacob hurt after Sarah died.

It all starts with a fight because Bella is too self-centered. She can’t even imagine that people may have hurt as much as she did after Edward left her (I personally volunteer to slap some sense into her). So after causing lots of pain to her best friend, she comes up with a plan to make him forgive her. And she starts a trip down memory lane, hunting down memories that aren’t even hers in the first place. She starts to discover a woman she barely remembers at all, and who will finally make Bella realize that death isn’t something that can be discarded and chosen without hesitation. Death is part of life but choosing it like she would have done it if Edward had never left her, it’s not an option at all.

I like the idea that Bella finally comes to her senses in this fic. She stops being so selfish and self-centered, and she stops taking Jacob for granted. She finally sees that he’s a human being who has history, too, and she isn’t the only one who has a right to hurt.

I personally like fics that deal with Jacob and his mom, and snapshots of the summers when Bella used to come visit Charlie when she was a kid. I love Jake and Bella together as kids. Even if Epiphany is a sad fic because all in all, Sarah isn’t coming back, I like the idea that she can help Bella moving on just like Jacob is constantly doing it. Must be a family thing :)

WHs Rec: The City by @artbeatsandlife

2010-12-18T06:00:00.001-08:00

The City by artbeatsandlife (@artbeatsandlife)
Summary: ::Slash:: Emmett & Paul spot each other on a NYC train, but the moment passes...or does it? A slash romance with a bunch of usual suspects from Twilight plus tattoos, steel & a black eye to round things out. Rated M for Major Lemons & Language - AH/AU
Rated: M - Pairing: Emmett & Paul

Apparently Misfics has gone a little slash lately in our recs. I would apologize, but I don't think anyone minds!

I attended a viewing party for Eclipse a couple of weeks ago with some local Twi-twitter-friends. We had a great time, lots of food, lots of laughing, and perhaps a LOT of drooling throughout the movie. I, of course, was the only wolf lover in the room, but I feel I represented the wolves appropriately.

As we were watching, the standoff between wet Emmett (RAWR. I mean, vamp or not, that was sexy as hell) and wolf Paul reminded me that I still hadn't found a great Emmett/Paul slash fic. While watching the movie in the theaters I was intrigued by the standoff and then their "respect" for one another during the big fight scene. I knew that chemistry could be built up into an amazing slash fic. I had considered writing one myself, but I know my limitations.

So instead, I took a chance after the viewing party and went fic diving. Thankfully, I didn't have to dig too far when I found this amazing story by one of my favorite authors, artbeatsandlife. How I missed this before, I don't know, I blame the pain I was still in from NKR slapping, elbowing and kicking me when BA Embry came on the screen, but that's another story for another day.

"The City" is exactly what I was imagining when I saw Eclipse; the respect that was shown between Emmett and Paul during the battle amplified. Paul as a boxer fits perfectly and Emmett's description of Paul on the train made me want to jump him too. What starts out as two strangers passing by on a train develops beautifully into a relationship between these two. I did have some giggle moments when Emmett was trying not to be a "slut", because honestly, gay or straight, I'd have a hard time not being a slut too.

Go enjoy a little slash for your holidays and while you are there, try any of artbeatsandlife's stories. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Catch you on the flip side!

NKRs Rec: Stars by fngrdust (@fngrcufs and @lightstardust)

2010-12-06T02:15:00.001-08:00

Stars by fngrdust
Summary: They say you can't be everything to everyone, but she was everything to me. My best friend, my first kiss, my biggest love, my hardest fall. But what was I to her? Written for the Two Is Better Than One contest by fngrcufs and lightstardusting.
Rated: M - Genre: Angst/Friendship - Pairing: Leah & Rosalie

This is a one-shot, which I don't normally rec, but I loved this one and wanted to share it. I don't often get the opportunity to read great characterizations and a good, solid plot in a one-shot. It's hard for the reader to fall in love with a short little story because you (usually) can't really feel connected in such a short amount of time. However, this is one of the few one-shots that you "get" and feel what these characters are going through.

Stars is a story about Leah and Rosalie's friendship, starting from age 7 and showing you what their lives are like through their adolescent and teenage years. It's so easy for the reader to believe the relationship these two develop- both the friendship and the attraction they share.

The tale is told through Leah's POV and you really get a sense of her vulnerability and need. There is a lot of "firsts" between Rose and Leah, a lot of hurt as well. We all know I'm an angsth00r so this was right up my alley. There's also sprinkles of Emmett and Edward, who really tugs at your heart strings so hard that you want to just hug him.

I want blabber on and on and ruin things for you because you really just have to read this and FEEL it instead of having me give you a cliffs notes version. If you haven't read femme before or are unsure, I think this would be a great one to start out with. There's just a small bit of lemon to wet your whistle. I, for one, really want to read more of this pairing, but I have to say that the main pull for this one is the wonderful job that fngrcufs and lightstardusting do. Their writing style is beautiful and real.

Scurry on over and read!!

WHs Rec: How Many by @MsKathy

How Many by MsKathy (@MsKathy)
Summary: Victoria reflects back on the last 10 years of marriage to Alice as she prepared to commit to the love of her life once more. Femme Slash, lemons. Written for the TwiSlash Unveiled Contest.
Rated: M - Pairing: Alice & Victoria

I am what you might call #fail. Pretty sure it's been well over a month since I've done a rec. Apologies. Life, work, writing, etc., all got in the way.

But now I'm back to it and today I'm bringing you a love story. A beautiful story about two people that fall in love, get married, have children and renew their vows ten years later. Who doesn't want that life?

What makes this story special is how wonderfully normal it is. Reading it was like talking to a dear friend of mine as she reflects on her life. Ups and downs, trials and tribulations, good and bad; but it's all life.

The love these two people share for one another is a love that we all deserve. Yes, it's two women, but that doesn't change that they are still living their lives with family, children, jobs, responsibilities and everything else that is part of every day for most of us. After everything that has gone on in the past few months in our country, it was amazing to read this story to be reminded that we all deserve love in our lives, no matter how it comes to us.

Thank you Ms. Kathy for writing a beautiful love story!

Catch you on the flip side!

Pictures of Us by ToDream
Characters: Bella and Jacob - Rating: T

Summary: Jacob and Bella reminisce over their life together through pictures and tell the stories behind them to their three-year-old daughter, Melly.

What are the two things I love the most in a fanfic? I love fluff. I live for fluff. Fluff is my life. Seriously. RL is already full of drama so when I read a fanfic I want to relax and I want to read about happy things. And what do I like even more? Daddy Jake!!! Every time I read about Bella and Jacob having babies, it melts my heart. Those two were born to make babies together. I can’t really point why but there’s something in Jacob’s personality which makes me positive that he would be a great father. So I love this one shot because of these two things, which isn’t a great surprise since I asked for them (Sshhh. This rec isn’t biased at all. Sshh.)

So, Bella and Jacob are married and they have a little girl, Melly (just like me. Not biased, people, not biased. Sshh.) Instead of reading her a bedtime story before going to sleep, they have a family album with pictures and they tell the little girl the stories behind the pictures. This one shot shows us what their life could have been if Bella had chosen Jacob over Edward. And their little girl is so cute that you have to love her.

It’s a great story when you’re feeling down and you what to smile a little. You’ll have to smile and laugh while reading it. And it will leave you feeling awwwwww. Trust me. Besides, it was written for a good cause (aka the Support Stacie Auction) so reading it is like taking a small part in the auction as well. Although, I’m the one who won the fic in the first place, it would have been very selfish of me to keep it all for myself. I can’t keep Jake for myself even if I wish I could…And I must add that ToDream doesn’t usually write Bella and Jacob fics. She writes about Nessie and Jacob (I’m not here to judge). I gave her a hard time with this one shot but the final product is so great. You’ll love it!

BFQs Rec: The Burning of Lucius Demetrius Flavius by Leanne Golightly

2010-11-14T08:45:00.001-08:00

The Burning of Lucius Demetrius Flavius by Leanne Golightly

Summary: Demetri's history and companion piece to "Red Eyes and the She Wolf," starting from his human life, his life with the Volturi, and leading up to the moment he meets his match in a she-wolf. *MATURE CONTENT*
Rating: NC17 - Pairing: Demetri/uh...a lot of women...oh! And Leah.

Warning! Today's post may not be completely coherent. Why, you ask? Well, because this fic is about Demetri. Yes. Demetri. Le sigh...

Have I mentioned before that I love Demetri? Yes? Whatever, I'll just say it again: I love Demetri! From his perfect physique (dear lord, those abs) and his unapologetic manwhoring (I can haz?) right down to his flamboyant love of fashion (I love a man that will take me shopping). Wait. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, the Burning...

The Burning of Lucius Demetrius Flavius (henceforth known as TBoLDF as to avoid carpal tunnel) is the companion to Red Eyes and the She Wolf (dear Leanne, shorter titles please). It is Demetri's backstory and, eventually, his POV of REatSW (ah, that's better). In some ways I love TBoLDF better. Should be no secret as to why. As much as I enjoy spending time in Leah's bitchy mind, the inner workings of Demetri melt me right down to the core (pun intended).

There's Roman Demetri, Gladiator Demetri, warrior Demetri, Renaissance Demetri (with a cameo by a very hot Dutch vamp). Well, let's just say there's enough Demetri to satisfy anyone. Really, he's been going at it for nearly 2000 years, he knows a thing or two about satifying...Damn...lost my thoughts again...

Okay, back to TBoLDF. I know you all fancy a good bit of hot vamp. You dig brooding Edward, bulky Emmett and Major Whitlock. Let me tell you, they don't even come close to the hotness that is Demetri! Read this, and you'll forget about the Cullen boys quicker than you can say...well, anything really.

Porn is nice, but is there plot I can hear you ask (seriously? why?). Let me answer that. Yes, there is plot, a good plot even. Leanne writes Demetri like no other. I adore this woman and everything she does, and now that I have sufficiently kissed her pretty behind, maybe she'll let me play with Demetri for a while. I promise I'll wear pink...

xoxo

BFQs Rec: Red Eyes and the She Wolf by Leanne Golightly

2010-10-31T07:19:00.001-07:00

Red Eyes and the She Wolf by Leanne Golightly

Summary: FORBIDDEN LEMONS CONTEST WINNER - Vampires and wolves just shouldn't happen, but damn it he was slick. But what can I say? I was a sucker for his accent and the way he spoke Italian. Leah neglects her pack duties to get it on with a vampire. Lemons/Angst.
Rating: NC17 Pairing: Leah/Demetri

Today I bring you a story that's been pwning me in a serious way ever since I started reading it. Of all the Volturi Demetri is the one that I adore the most. Or hate. Or adore. Oh, I can't make up my mind on this one... He's a lovable bad boy, let's keep it at that.

Leanne captures him exactly how I see him in my mind: flirty, teasing, funny and damn sexy. But she's added another layer to him that is quite extraordinary. She's given him depth and made him genuinely likable. Leanne's done the same to Leah, creating a woman beyond the scorned bitch that she's usually portrayed as. The pair of them are never boring; they're either fighting, being angsty or, my personal favorite, having dirty hot sex. A vampire and werewolf, fire and ice, they work better than you could ever expect.

The story is sheer brilliance with imaginative twists and turns. Leah and Demetri coming together is not romantic but very realistic, even if they're mythical monsters. The events that unfold in later chapters will have your jaw dropping and your eyes bulging. This is one of the best fics out there right now, and I don't just urge you to read it, I'm TELLING you to!

Red Eyes and the She Wolf has an equally amazing companion story: The Burning of Lucius Demetrius Flavius. Check back here in two weeks and I'll tell you all about it!

Congratulations to Leanne for winning the Best Overall in the Ruby Round of the Gem Awards!
