Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures
Each week I will brave the treacherous waters of Fan Fiction for buried treasure. Below are the gems I've found this week!

Found some lovely gems this week!
Please let the writer's know you found their stories here at ADF!
Don't forget to send your reviews!

For Old Time's Sake by Wonder Woman 1982
It's the 10 year Forks High reunion and we find a bitter Bella reluctant to catch up with her past and her arch nemesis Edward Cullen. With a nudge from her friends, will she relent and go? What happens if she runs into Edward? Hilarity ensues. Rated M for language, mostly. I'm sure there will be lemons, eventually. Short chapters. AH

Cute story of heading back to good old Forks for a 10 year reunion.

Mosaic of a Broken Heart by NewTwilightFan
Bella doesn't let people in easily. When she does, she commits absolutely - to family, to friends, to love. With a blossoming career and a fiance she adores, there isn't much more she expects out of life. Then, a crushing revelation derails her dreams and fractures her sense of self. Gluing the pieces back together isn't easy when you can't find them all.

Bella has a whirlwind weekend rebound romance with a too good to be true Edward. He finds out her secret and freaks-the-F-out! That's where the last chapter left off!!!  Luckily, we got a word that the next chapter will be up on Wednesday from the Sneak Peek Monday Campfire!  Thank goodness, because we did not leave poor Bella in a very good place.

Notes on His Pillow by BoysNBooksRBetter
Bella is a divorced mother of two running a Bed & Breakfast in Forks, WA. Edward is a doctor who's just moved to town and is staying at the B&B. Chemistry sparks quickly but Bella is worried about protecting her children from more hurt. Can Edward convince Bella that she deserves a second chance at happiness? AU, BPOV, Rated M for later chapters. Work-In-Progress

Single mom Bella is trapped in her small town life. Edward becomes part of her world but she's hesitant to give him more. Slow burn.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Lucky Charm by profmom72
Bella and Edward were secret best friends during one of the best periods of Bella's life. Their friendship has waned. When they are forced back together, untold secrets are revealed. When the truth is out there, will anyone feel lucky?

Angsty.  This E & B are ridiculously blind to their love.  I just want to shake them both.

ETA:  She Gives Me Religion.  It was incomplete and hasn't updated in years :(   Apparently that's why I never read it.  Sorry folks!  Thanks RobzBeanie for letting me know.  Here's the link if anyone is interested.  Maybe It'll come back.

As always, your feedback and messages are what keeps me diving.  I love hearing from you!

Thank you and have a great week!

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

Every Monday, I'm going to dedicate a CF to the Hot Guy of the Week.The catch? The CF can ONLY be about the current nominated guy. 

We all have different tastes in men, so please don't yuck anyone's yum.If you have a man you'd like to see crowned for the week, PM or hit me up on twitter (@ffcherry) with his name

ANNOUNCEMENT:  I have new rules for 2015. If you'd like to see a certain someone as the Hot Guy of the Week, the week of your birthday, DM me in plenty of time (include your day, so I know how to schedule him). ONLY Rule: He can't have been posted in the past 6 months-

If it's no longer Free For All, go ahead and remove this.

I've just started a British Literature I class, and already, I'm overwhelmed. Considering I have the crappiest luck known to mankind, I was selected to lead the first student debate on Beowulf. The topic is: Grendel's mother is the opposite of Danish heroic culture vs. Grendel's mother is just like the Danish hero culture that she opposes.

I'm in the middle of reading and researching, but considering I am swamped with homework for my other classes (I'm a full-time student), I'm finding it hard to find evidence supporting either claim. I'm not asking for someone to do the work for me, I'm just looking for a nod in the right direction. We've gotten halfway through the story, around section 26

The student debate is Thursday. I only got an email telling me that I would be doing it today. Honestly, I think it's a little unfair, especially considering we're working in groups, but there's nothing I can do about it now.

Please, if anyone who knows about Beowulf has any information that will help, I'd be grateful!

Rec: The Fallout by OCDindeed
March 16/06 the world the Cullens knew ended. Faith, hope & love are powerful things. Edward finds out how powerful they are when he loses the one person who made his life worth living. Not just an E/B story. Entire Cullen clan is here, each with their own hardships. Set during a post-apocalyptic nuclear war. Try the Prologue before passing judgment. You might be surprised! NM/AU

Sorry guys, I've been so out of the track of time since my hip went out that I forgot to do the campfires this week 

come talk about comics, tv and movies. And go!

Feed Your E-Reader

Hi Campers!

Today we're going to talk about books.

Most of us are book lovers here, and Ruby Wednesday hosts a lovely book CF every week so I hope I'm not stepping on any toes.

But today I was feeling wishy washy about topics.

So, I thought I'd talk about this:

While I do love books, I'll admit that the majority of book covers I see are such a turn off. 

They're cheesy or ugly or just not designed well.

There are, however, some great ones too.

Let's share some of our favorite book covers.

Let's share some of our favorite book titles as well.

What drew you in to read a certain book?

Feel free to add your favorite FF titles or banners too!

Afterall, it just wouldn't have been the same if SM had gone ahead and left the book called Forks instead of Twilight. :D

Welcome to the monthly recipe swap campfire.

Since most places have hit freezing, with snow and winds, I figure it's time to pull out the crock pot and dish out the soups and stews.
