WW's Fic Rec Friday
Happy Friday, guys! I for one have been ready for Friday since ohh... about Monday.
So, I have a confession to make. Lately I've kind of been cheating on Edward and digging on Jasper. And not just any Jasper, not Jasper the kind of secondary good friend character (like in Just One of the Guys), but Jasper the love interest. And not with Alice either. No no, I'm talking about... Bellsper. *gasp!* I know, I know... but I can't help it. He's so damn sexy.
Previously I rec'd Son of a Preacher Man by LaViePastiche. Stangsperella is one of my favorite pairings - EVER - but now she is (as she has been threatening/promising from the beginning) shifting the story to an Edward/Bella pairing. And I am sad panda. So, I went in search of other Bellspers to assuage the ache.
He and She by AHelm
Rated: M for sexual situations, adult content and language
::FF.net::
Summary: Sometimes, you can't fight chemistry, no matter the situation. "I know all your favorite spots and tonight we will connect the dots." Jasper/Bella. AH.
The first thing that struck me about this fic was the present-tense used. Normally, I have a hard time with this tense, but in this case it fit so beautiful; it pulled me into the moment and made me feel as though I was experiencing it along with the characters.
The first chapter is sweet and poignant; I felt their love for one another in every caress and whisper. She purposefully keeps the character names from us until the very end - and the fact that it was a Bella/Jasper pairing simultaneously shocked the hell out of me and made perfect sense. I could see them together in this.
The next two chapters begin to illustrate their struggles as a couple - all is not as easy as it seems in the first scene.
The chapters are short but illustrative; each vignette a small, descriptive window into their relationship and the challenges they face - they say so much with so little.
So read it. Embrace the Bellsper. Come back and we'll talk and I'll further enable your new addiction. Do it. I need comrades in this new endeavor.

WW's Fic Rec Friday
We're in the process of rolling out some fun new features for the Twilight Sisterhood blog, and I have the great pleasure of being the first!
Here at the Sisterhood, we're a little obsessed with fanfiction. We are constantly sharing and discussing stories with one another on the forum, and my sisters have graciously indulged my compulsion and allowed me to share my favorites with you. Every Friday I will be posting my favorite stories; some will undoubtedly be ones you know and love, but I hope to also be able to give some exposure to the lesser known stories out there.
PLEASE NOTE: SOME OF THE CONTENT RECOMMENDED HEREIN MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR OUR UNDERAGE READERS. FICS RATED 'M' ARE INTENDED FOR THOSE OVER THE AGE OF 18. PLEASE USE DISCRETION WHEN CLICKING ANY OF THE BELOW LINKS.
So without further ado... here are this Friday's Fic Recs.
Just One of the Guys by SorceressCirce
RATED: M for mature themes, sexual situations and language.
::FF.net:: ::Twilighted:: ::Twilighted Forum::
Summary: Scarred by events in her past, Bella relies heavily on her best friend and roommate, Jasper. When Jasper falls in love with a girl named Alice, Bella is excited for him but can’t help but wonder – where will she fit in? Canon pairings, AH/AU, OOC.
The summary gives the impression that this is a story centered around Bella's stuggle with accepting her best friend's new found romance, however that is only a small slice of this amazing fic. Bella, left broken after a traumatic experience, is unable to be close to anyone outside of her small circle of friends. Enter Edward, with his own set of problems. They are drawn to one another, but limited by their issues.
It is a beautiful story of the healing powers of love. And although it does have sad undertones, I find myself holding my breath with anticipation and giddy throughout each and every chapter.
The Screamers by KiyaRaven
RATED: M for mature themes, sexual situations and language.
::FF.net:: ::Twilighted:: ::Twilighted Forum::
Summary: Living on the streets is hard for Bella Swan, but not as hard as putting up with Edward Cullen when he drags her into his lifestyle of sex, drugs and Rock and Roll. Will they be able to help each other before they kill each other?
One word: hotlarious. I started reading this on a whim a few days ago after an incredibly awful week and it was the perfect choice. Bella is a ass-kicking homeless chick, Edward is a neurotic rock star with an addictive personality, and Alice is Alice... with an edge. The characterizations are brilliant and the entire story is full of lines that will make you laugh out loud.
And Rob makes an appearance.
It's funny and sexy and endearing. If you're having a bad day, or are just in the mood for a laugh, I definitely recommend this one.
Voice Inside My Head by Miztrezboo
RATED: M for sexual situations and language.
::FF.net:: ::Twilighted::
Summary: Bella's always believed in true love, fate, destiny & all that jazz. After returning from a self imposed exile, all roads soon lead to one conclusion. Will he see her for more than a best friend? Or will another reveal a side long forgotten?AH/AU B/Em B/E
Bella grew up with her best friends, Edward and Emmett. She has always been in love with an oblivious Edward while Emmett has always harbored feelings for the preoccupied Bella. When the pressure gets to be too much, she runs away to Europe to pursue her career. Upon returning from her self-imposed exile she suddenly finds herself the object of both her best friends' attentions. Who will she choose? Who deserves her more?
This is the only love triangle I've ever read in which I'd be ok with either choice. While Edward pisses me off... he's still Edward, and she's still Bella. No brainer. But this Emmett is adorable and sweet and I feel in some ways deserves Bella so much more than Edward.
Miztrezboo utilizes flashbacks woven seamlessly through each chapter to tell the stories of the three friends and how they got to the place they're in. It is a wonderfully written story that at times has me laughing and giddy and at others has me wanting to chuck my computer at the wall in frustration.
So those are this week's recommendations. Have you read them? If not, I hope I've inspired you to check them out at the very least.
