FIC RECS

I know some authors do this and I thought I would share some fics that I have really enjoyed/am enjoying with you. Basically, I'm just going to give you the lowdown of which fics I have favourited and then the reason why you should do the same. I am not like loads of people in the fic world who favourite like 500 - I think I have 7. So... these ones are pretty special.

1. Little Fish, Big Fish by Michelle M Marie and Paige Parkker

What's it about?

Bella moves to Forks with her best friend Jazz after her mom commits suicide and meets Edward Cullen the cool arrogant but also down to earth jock. He thinks she's a freak at first and of course she thinks he's a bit of a prick but guess what... they both find that they cannot get enough of each other.

Mon opinion

I like this story because of how unique it is. Both writers write Edward + Bella in such a original way that I am in awe and in shits of giggles every time I read it. It's not exactly a conventional love story with conventional Edward and Bella - but that's why I like it. Throw in loads of weed, Jasper with dread locks, a brooding jock Edward and a freakazoid Bella and you've got yourself this weird little story that I just sorta.... adore.

2. What Happens At Charlie's Wedding by velvetbutterfly

What happens:

So Bella goes back to Forks with her friend Alice as her father is getting married to Esme. Bella finds out that Esme's brother Carlisle, who is also Charlie's best man, is like....really hot. Evidently, he feels the same way about Bella and sparks really fly. However, it all suddenly gets confusing when Carlisle's son, Edward, decides to visit for the wedding, too.

Opinions

Okay, I would just want to say firstly, any Carlisle fans who haven't read this... you should definitely give it a go. Also for anyone who is beginning to get a little bored of Edward and Bella stories. I have thought this one was hot right from the get go, to be honest. Carlisle is the hot older man we have all fantasised about and Bella is the younger horny girl who lives it out for us. A definite must-read for the smut-lovers!

3. Tracking Redemption by Shoefreak37

What's it about?

For once, it's not an AH story. It's an AU which gives a VERY interesting twist on New Moon. Bella is killed by Laurent in the meadow so Edward goes to visit the dreaded Volterra to meet his supposed end to existance. However, when the Volturi learn of his powers, they don't let him die - instead they ask him to work for them for a few months and join the guard. Whilst Edward is there, Demetri becomes his sort of mentor, and through explainable means, Edward discovers that perhaps he prefers a little bit of...male.

Verdict

I don't usually like slash, so for me, this was a bit of a challenge at first. But I thought Demetri and Edward was such a weird but interesting couple that I had never seen done before, so I had to read it. I'm not too much of a Bella fan, so I do like to read other stories where Edward ends up with another person - just usually, it's a girl. However, this story pleasantly surprised me...definitely. I mean, it's just so beautifullly written and the love between Edward and Demetri is almost tangible. I have just learnt to love it so much. If there's complete E/B fans out there who are not willing to give it a try, there is a (horrible) chance that Bella isn't actually dead.... so, you know. Give it a go! I also would definitely recommend this to slash lovers!

4. The Apple Doesn't Fall Far by Twighlit

What is it?

Another AU, but this is also very interesting. Edward still left Bella in New Moon, but he returns like 24 years later back to Forks and Bella still lives there but she is married to Jacob and they have a daughter named Emma. Edward does not know this until one day in Chemistry, he has a new lab partner...which happens to be Bella's daughter.

And?

I love this because the character of Emma is just so loveable and suits Edward so much more than Bella does and makes her seem boring, quite frankly. I love all the little twists and turns and all the unexpected things in this story whilst still keeping the characters in canon (apart from FINALLY taking the stick out of Edward's arse). When Bella finds out who her new daughters boyfriend is, she takes steps to win him back as the hole inside of her returns. Does Edward only love Emma because he reminds her of what she once had? What makes Emma so different from Bella that she can be in his world and Bella can't? Who will he choose? So many questions so many unresolved answers. A definite must-read for canon Bella haters. (Like me.)

5. Master of the Universe by Snowqueens Icedragon
