White House in Bloom by Tori Masen-Cullen
28 year old Florist Bella Swan can't wait to escape from Washington D.C, that is until she receives a Job offer she can't refuse and meets President Edward Cullen. 

Just getting going here and I cannot wait for more.  Love Pres-Ward.

Caribbean Dreams by Sukiethree
Falling in love in the blink of an eye was never in Bella's plans. When Edward disappears after one night of incredible passion, all she has left is the memory of a future and what could have been. 

We have murder mystery here that I'm looking forward to solving.

FLASHBACK FIC DIVE:

Sea Salt by SparrowNotes24
Describe yourself in three words. That's how I found myself beside the ocean, with sea salt tangled hair, sun kissed by a boy who showed me the answers. The boy in the shadows. The boy in the shade. 

Scout's Honor by samekraemer
When a crying Girl Scout with bloody knees showed up on the Cullens' doorstep to sell cookies, no one in the family knew that the girl would become a part of the family, least of all, a twelve-year old Edward. Over the years, things changed, but one thing remained constant…Bella Swan and Edward Cullen were drawn to each other. 

Resurfacing by NewTwilightFan
Bella is anxious to finally meet the object of her desire: handsome, wealthy, enigmatic Edward Cullen. After almost three years of talking and teasing via e-mail, text and phone calls, is she truly ready for something real?

Each week I will brave the treacherous waters of Fan Fiction for buried treasure!

Sorry for the delay.  Real Life. 
So, two newbies this week. I was hesitant to read both, but ended up really liking them.

derivation by cupcakeriot
(noun) derivation. the obtaining of something from a source or origin. "All it takes is a touch," Bella says - and that is how she reveals that there is more to her than meets the eye. Little did she realize that she also had a derivation, one that she could scarcely predict. A Twilight Re-Telling. 

In general, I stay far away from "Re-Tellings", but something about this writer's unique previous stories made me take a look.  I like it.  Some flashes of Twilight canon, with a definite different spin.

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables  by LyricalKris
The wake of a tragedy—a school shooting—has far reaching consequences. Edward was living his life as though he had to make up for the four people who died in front of his eyes. Bella's life had been blown apart before it really started. Two strangers who happened to come back to the scene of the crime on the same day. 

Be warned, there is some difficult material discussed.   Having lost a family member to random gun violence, I'm always hesitant to read a story that has this as a plot. Kris handles it with respect and I like the storyline of the families that have to deal with losing a loved one so tragically.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

So I Can Kiss You Anytime I Want by k8ln713
It's been five years since Bella's returned to her hometown in St. Pete Beach. Her reason: to finally get her husband, Edward, to give her a divorce. She's built a successful life for herself up in NY after leaving Edward, but has been having trouble getting Edward to give in and sign the divorce papers. Will Bella's return make her remember that Edward was always the one for her? 

Sincerely, Sergeant Masen by 2carm2carm2
One bored night, Bella goes online and stumbles across an American's soldier's profile. On a whim she decides to write Sergeant Masen a letter. She never thought she would get a response back from Iraq, much less fall in love with a man in combat boots. 

Soiled by bornonhalloween
Cleanliness is next to godliness, but not even the boss's daughter can stay unsoiled forever. The hot mechanic is gritty and gruff and avoiding her like the plague, so naturally he's all she wants. But would she be better off keeping her distance? Angsty ExB told in BPOV. 

Something True by BelieveItOrNot
With too many secrets and a haunting past she'd love to forget, at seventeen, Bella is sure love doesn't exist. College dropout Edward Cullen can't seem to keep hold of love, or his music. A cottage, a lake, a tree, a muse, wrong choices, and heartache. How will these two cope with life and keep afloat? A daily word-prompt WitFit. Alternates between past and present. AH E/B
