Fly Me Home By: MrsSpaceCowboy
Bella Swan doesn't believe in regret, but if she did…
~A lo-o-o-ong O/S that may be added to in the future.
Give and Take By: Hopesparkles
What's left to take when everything and everyone you've loved is already gone?
~Bella is dealing with one loss after another and packing her life away.
Stages By: pattyrose
In eight distinct sketches of growth, including the fights, arguments, and misunderstandings that usually accompany each stage, watch how the little girl next door went from being the bane of my existence…to being the most important person in my existence.
~What a sweet story! Following nextdoor neighbors through different stages of their development as they grow into young adults.
Reaching for Stars By: knicnort3
Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for until you've already found it. *Inspired by the movie "August Rush". Eighteen year old Bella needs a new outlook on life, and finds solace in a beautiful stranger that completely turns her life upside down.
~This is a revised repost from several years ago that was on hiatus. I haven’t read it from before, but I did see August Rush back in the day and it is a great story. Just saying, Charlie is not not my favorite person rn.
The Triangle By: DitzyDoozle
Bella wasn't enjoying her cruise, but she'd trade anything to be back on the ship rather than on this island alone. Surviving wasn't going to be an easy task. As the days pass, she realizes that she's not alone. Unfortunately, the mysterious island native won't reveal themselves. Surviving isn't so hard when you have a someone or something looking out for you.
~Whoa...cast-away Bella and a mysterious other person she has never seen. What’s going on…?
A Single Step By: tufano79
Isabella Biers had it all. A loving husband, two children and a career of her dreams. One night changed everything. She had a spinal stroke, paralyzing her from the waist down and with that, she lost her husband and mobility. With the help of a kind, but sexy physical therapist, will she be able to regain all she lost? It all begins with A Single Step.
~A really sweet story that is close to my heart.
Breaking News By: WriteOnTime
Two network news anchors. One desk. In a race to get the story, love might become the headline - if they don't kill each other first. AH Canon Couples, smart people, particle physics, and tap dancing.
~Want something that will challenge your intellect? This starts off with some pretty technical jargon about the fast-paced dynamics and mechanics behind national newscasting, but it is intriguing and compelling and eases up once it gets into dialogue. Bella is a highly intelligent, unrelentingly witty, feisty, driven news researcher who can hold her own with the rambunctious guys in the bullpen. She works the chair as the evening news anchor on the weekends and subs in as needed for the main guy during the week, that is, until the guy dies! She is acting as interim main news anchor while the network executives figure out what they are going to do. When she is approached with the offer to step up into the position, she is surprised to find out they want to revamp the whole program and add a co-anchor. And who might that be, you ask? Enter one sexy as hell Pulitzer prize winning international field reporter, Edward Cullen, and let the fireworks begin!
Grasping Darkness By: KiyaRaven
She dreams of darkness. Lust. Passion. The man she fantasizes about has it all, especially the darkness. The problem is, he's not really a man. Rated M for language & dark themes.
~Bella is in an unfulfilling relationship with Jacob Black. He takes care of his needs, or gets her to, and leaves her hanging. He asks if she felt good and she says, "Sure thing, Stud." She fakes migraines or whatever to get him to go home. Bella is a strong, snarky character in her head, but hasn't broken up with him, because he obviously adores her and she doesn't want to hurt him. About a month ago, she started having these really vivid dreams of a mysterious lover that comes in the darkness of night, who touches her with cool fingers and tongue and lips and pleasures her like no other ever has. What happens when she suddenly wakes up and sees his amber eyes by her face or looking in the window and knows she's not dreaming? What happens when she says, "I know you're there," and goes into the dark woods to find him?
Grasping Darkness was originally a o/s for the In The Dark Halloween contest, in which it won second place! If you know KiyaRaven from the award winning, ‘The Screamers', you know she can weave a story that includes all the elements of snark, wit, humor, angst, action and lemony romance all in one, and knock your ever loving socks off at the same time! In this AU story, while Windoward is a bit darker and voyeuristic and there is fear and suspense, you can still find some snark and covert humor, and he is still one sensual insatiable sexy beast!
I hope everyone is safe and healthy! Take care of yourselves!
