Your Top 10 Favorites are:

Eight Days by windchymes 
A lot can happen in eight days...

A Few Tables Away by drotuno 
Edward spent most of his life trying to be invisible until he got to college. All alone, 3000 miles from home, there's only one person he wishes would see him. His Library Girl, just a few tables away. AH/Rated M/Canon couples

The Protector by hikingurl 
In a dystopian world where civilization barely survives, Edward has spent his whole life training to protect his society, his family and the girl who has captured his heart.

After Hours by Edward's Eternal
A late, anxious patient. A compassionate nurse. What happens when comfort becomes something else?

Emma Matthews by Anton M 
Isabella has been cooperating with the DEA under her father's nose. A video footage reveals her involvement, her brother murders their father, and she agrees to be a key witness in federal criminal cases against an ex-judge, a congressman, and an array of criminals, including her brother. AH

Bus Stop by Edward's Eternal 
It's Bella's birthday. A badly fitted skirt, a cocky passenger and some unwanted help make this a bus ride, and a day she never expected.

Compass by anna.who.was.mad
On the cusp of her thirtieth birthday, travel blogger Bella Swan is ready to set down roots after a decade of being on the run. When the boy she (sort of) hated in high school crosses her path, Bella quickly learns that exotic locations have nothing on home-grown love. 

Marked Complete by LyricalKris 
Falling in love is effortless. Falling into a life together is harder. Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. But eventually, we all have to come down to reality. When love is a whirlwind, is there such thing as balance? A sequel to Marked.

Honor by content1
Love can find us in the strangest of places or perhaps at the most extraordinary of times. As the Cullens celebrate the life of Esme and Carlisle's son, James, Edward discovers that his little brother sent a present that just might change his life. Winner of the "Most Swoon-Worthy" Character in the Meet the Mate Contest.

Grim and Darling by Honeybeemeadows 
Every town has a tragedy. Every tragedy has a devil. That's me.

Honorable Mentions
These few were in the mix until the last possible second!

Hot Tree Guy by dontlookdontask
Bella has a tiny apartment, a dwindling savings fund, and a giant dog. All she wants is a nice little Christmas tree. A/H, canon couples.

Mating Deviation by fyrebirch 
The year is 2300 and Earth no longer exists. Famine and poverty are non-existent, disease is at an all-time low and emotions have no impact. Society is perfect, but is there such a thing as too perfect? After discovering her ancestor's diary, Bella learns that there's more to this foolproof world than meets the eye.

A Court of Beasts and Beauties by jacklynlew 
A twist on Beauty and the Beast. After Bella's father is found trespassing, he bargains her life in replacement for his own. Doomed to live the rest of her life in Edward's estate, Bella eventually learns to tolerate her captor. And in a land of magic, Bella soon finds out everything is not always as it seems. AU, Rated M for future lemons.
 

Looking forward to another year of new Fics!

The Alpha by StillDreaming85
He could have chosen any female wolf in the room. Why did he have to choose me, the lone half-breed? *Drabble*

Different spin on our Twi-faves.  Bella and the Cullens are wolves.  Bella is a reluctant Alpha Female.

Northern Light by TwilightObsessed522
After recently losing her husband, Bella is finding it difficult to move on. But with a baby on the way, she knows she needs to. With the help of her friends and a gift left behind by her husband, Bella finds the strength she needs...and something more. All Human.
BPOV. Rated M.

We're starting out in a sad place for Bella.  Looking forward to more.

Lost and Found by Lanigirl18
23 years ago, Esme and Carlisle Cullen's three year old daughter was kidnapped and they were forced to rebuild their life with tattered remains. Now, with three beautiful, grown children and a grandbaby on the way, Esme and Carlisle are as happy as they can be. Until an unexpected call throws the entire family into a whirlwind of regret, love and healing.

I'm intrigued by this one.  Just one chapter in.  Feeling like this will be a slooow burn.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Overpass by purelyamuse
"I think all the people I love will eventually leave me. Just disappear." "Maybe . . . I don't know . . . maybe we don't need lots of people. Maybe we just need one. And that's enough." BPOV.

Play, Pause, Repeat by RRose
Bella Swan knows that YouTube's most subscribed gamer Edward Cullen goes to the same university as she does. She knows collaborating with him in one video will boost her fledgling cooking channel's traffic as well. What she doesn't know is that views and subscribers aren't the only things Edward can give her. Looks like their shippers might actually be on to something.

Onscreen Chemistry by winterhorses
Bella, America's young sweetheart on screen, is starring in her first R-rated film. Her co-star is Edward Cullen, Hollywood's reputed playboy, and he won't give her the time of day. Will they fizzle onscreen as Bella attempts to turn up the heat in her first erotic scene, or can she cause a reaction powerful enough to burn through his arrogant, impassive facade?

Welcome to the Monday Morning Hot Guy Campfire. What better way to start your week than a hot guy?

ADF still has FFA rules, right?

Today we are discussing Business Casual by whatsmynomdeplume. Please come inside the campfire and discuss.

The lines between boss and employee, human and immortal, hero and damsel, coworker and lover, and right and wrong are about to become very blurry for Edward and Bella. Comedy/Romance/Drama

Can anyone please host this first discussion of The Blessing and the Curse in two weeks' time when I am away?

So I just stuck up for myself and other people with mental illnesses on fb and some chick told me "not to get my panties in a wad". Um nonono. You don't get to call me out for sticking up for myself. I would say something else but then adf would get in trouble so I'm ranting here.

Tell me, what ticks you off the most about people?

Talk TV! 

I hope this is okay to post.  I could use a little advice for an upcoming scene in a fic I'm working on where Carlisle operates on a man who's in critical condition and not expected to make it.  The man is young, in his 20's, and recently married.  Does anyone know, would they take his wedding ring off?  I'd really like to be able to keep it on him.  Would they tape it on?
