I know, some people wanted specifics, don't fret! I'm still going to try to find some more. But for now, I hope at least one of these catches someone's eye. 

And of course, as always, share some that you have found!

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

Hello, Treasure Hunters!

I've found a few gems this week!
Please leave the writers a review to let them know you found them here at A Different Forest!

As Leaves Fall by myonlyheroin
Can a bearded, quiet man, a shy, sweet four-year-old and a cup of hot chocolate be enough to entice an even shyer woman out of her shell. A birthday fic for sweet Ericastwilight. 

Sweet story with a hearing impaired Bella.

Terms of Agreement by urbestnightmare
Edward hates his boss so much, he's given her a nickname: Satan. He's convinced that Isabella is the Devil in Steve Madden shoes. When he agrees to "marry" her for the sake of the company, will she drag him to hell or to the redemption that they both need? AH/AU/OOC. M for language and lemons. 

Sparks are flying already between B & E who have a history that has yet to be fully revealed.  Now they have to play house.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Fifty Days to Heaven By RRose
When Edward Cullen's soul separates from his body after a car accident, he realizes it's going to take a lot more than jumping back into it to get his life back. Fifty days should be plenty of time to find three tears of pure love, right? Based on 49 Days and Pure Love. 

First & Ten by Nolebucgrl
Bella Swan is an aspiring sports writer and her first big assignment is to interview the league's biggest, not to mention hottest, quarterback. Will Edward Cullen school her in the rules of the game or will she teach him a thing or two? Rated M. 

Four Hundred & Twelve by cynosure23
Day by day, Bella sits at the bed side of her husband. Nothing changes...until her brother in law enters the picture and turns her once perfect life upside down. 

Thanks for all of your support and feedback for this campfire!  Let me know what stories you're reading!

Okay, what is everyone interested in, besides Twilight? I know we have P&P, and D Abbey, but I'm going to start posting what I can find in Otherworldly that everyone likes. There's gotta be more than just those three, and crossovers too. SO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO READ.

Because this site seems to be dying and I don't want that. We have to expand our horizons or everyone will leave. So start talking. 

And for the record, I AM willing to look for RPF if anyone wants it.
