Junebug By: shouldbecleaning

There are certain dates that stick in the collective memory of people; certain events that stay with you no matter your age. Not birthdays, anniversaries, or death days, but something similar. A life-changing event that deeply affects you and your family. The first for me, July 5, 1976, is a day I will always remember. That was the day Bella Swan went missing.

Let’s dive right in, shall we?

So many to choose from!

My Perfect Asshole By: MrsK81

Reluctantly single, super reserved and a bit of a geek Edward meets polar opposite, Bella and she knocks him off his feet. Will he ground her or will she show him how things are in her world! AH fic from EPOV. Something relatively light hearted to help get me back into my groove... it has been missing for too long now! 

~Good gracious, this is great! Sputtering self-conscious Dorkward runs into a very unapologetic, no-filter, snarky Bella in the men’s bathroom who calls him out on his thought patterns and says some pretty hilarious things.

Rosewood & Emerald By: BixieRosen

"One day, my Bella, you will realise it was never about giving in. The battle was won long ago." If only she could take his word for it. If only she wasn't a witch - he a wizard - and their dalliance strictly forbidden. Very AU - and very Mature. No vamps, but plenty of magic.

~Whoa...brand new -this intro chapter knocks it out of the park taking you through the whole range of intense emotions. I really am intrigued and hooked with Bixie’s writing!

Divergence of Nature By: Maplestyle

There is a long-standing debate over nature versus nurture. For the Cullens and the McCartys, it's one they discover changes their lives irrevocably.

~This sounds really freaky. What the H. E. Double Hockey Sticks is going on?

Little Lovebird By: assilem33

"Do you want them to think you've just been wallowing in self pity the past six years? Come on, you've got bigger balls than that. Show them." 

~These two are so-o-o freaking BAD. Combine a horndog sex-on-the-brain Eddie and a kick-ass potty-mouth Bella and all hell and mayhem will break loose!

The Relationship By: Janaie42

Edward, a 38-year-old Restaurateur; Bella, a 27-year-old Financial Advisor. Both interested in the concept of love. A good game of cat and mouse could be exhilarating, but sometimes games didn't need to be played.

~Awww, two very successful highly driven people get right to the point despite an eleven year age gap. What a great story!

The Freshmen By: LayAtHomeMom

"It's something I live with every single day."

~Ok...this sounds a bit creepy. What happened back then? Brand new!

A Silver Tongue By: il-bel-mondo 

What happens when Bella transfers to the University of Washington and she meets a handsome coed, Edward?

~Here is an amazing HILARIOUS story that is full of witty characters, a great plot and hot sexin'! Bella has left Florida for Washington to be closer to her dad and to get as far as possible from psycho stalker ex-boyfriend frat boy Mike as possible - including getting a restraining order! She gets a job working at a bar for tatted up bad ass Angela, has southern debutante Charlotte for a room-mate who dresses her up in designer clothes and guards her like a momma bea.! Some of the antics they go through are just outrageous!  She has no need for a man right now Until one evening after her shift the most gorgeous man she has ever laid eyes on...comes to her aid and saves her from being hurt by James (who else?) He causes Bella to almost forget the vow she's taken against the opposite sex. Almost. That is until her realization that he's a frat boy and she's never going there again, no matter how those intense green eyes make her feel.

Edward is coming off a long term relationship, where he had been cheated on.  (Blasphemy!)  He is not the manh00r Bella believes him to be, but how can he convince her? What will it take? And who is the ?POV that is stalking their every move and trying to prevent them from getting together? Who is stalking Bella and always lurking in the shadows, banging on her door and running off, calling her and then hanging up, wanting her for themselves?  Awesome story!

Son of a Preacher Man By: LaViePastiche 

The wild son of a famous televangelist, Jasper likes to love ‘em and leave ‘em. Will he meet his match in Bella, who’s in love with his sister’s boyfriend Edward? And what happens when Edward finally notices her?

~Yes, I keep humming ‘the son of a preacher man' song when I think of this. This starts out with a 22 year old Jasper and his friends watching a group of younger girls come into the restaurant in their catholic school girl uniforms. Jasper makes a bet with them and goes for the pretty brunette, and James goes for the giggly blonde with curly hair. Yes, he's charming and pours it on, but 17 year old Bella doesn't want to put out because she's heard about Jasper and doesn't want her first time to just be wham-bam-thank you m'am. She never has before and is scared, plus she has had a crush on Edward Cullen for three years. The thing is, Edward is in some weird auto-pilot mode relationship with Jasper's younger sister. Rosalie. Jasper is persistent and after several weeks, everybody including Bella, is wondering what has gotten into him? Has he changed? Maybe...maybe not! All kinds of things happen - and it will be a B x E story, so hang in there.

I hope everyone is safe and healthy! Take care of yourselves!

Maybe I'm Falling For You By: coldplaywhore

Edward and Bella meet one cloudy May morning at their neighborhood coffee bar. Little do they know that they have actually been conversing for several months under assumed names. Collaboration between CPW and FLB11. M for language and lemony goodness.

~This is one crazy, fun story!  Edward is a photographer and greeting card writer, and Bella is a quirky successful artist and dog walker who dresses like ‘one hot mess'. They occasionally cross paths at the local coffee shop and develop massive crushes on each other. They have no idea they have been talking online, having met in a Beatles chat room as Paperback Writer and Penny Lane, where they talk to each other through wild and risqué cybersex! They are conflicted between the unbelievable attraction they have for each other in real life, and the connection and desire they have to meet this other online person. Follow them through this wacky banging trip as they explore and get to know each other!
