Bella's been watching Edward for weeks, ever since he walked in 4 classes into the semester and sat a few rows behind her.Yet every time she's caught staring she's met with a scowl instead of a smile--until the day he calls her out on it during a smoke break between their shared 3-hour class. Their banter turns to flirting and soon... a friendship begins to form. But Edward is hiding something and Bella is determined to find out what it is. He's secretive, he always wears a hat, he's always fatigued and too prideful to admit he needs help. Help Bella is all too willing to give.

Working with her Godmother Esme at her Ballet studio, dealing with a step-monster, and being a shoulder for her charismatic roommate, Bella has lost her passion for dancing. It's not until she meets Edward and connects with him that she begins to find herself once again. Then Edward's secret finally comes to light--he's  he in remission after a rigorous round of chemo. All his attempts to push her away are fruitless, because it's too late. Bella's all in, and if Edward is being honest, he's all in, too.

I've probably read this fic about four times and each time it hits me each time in the heart. I love this story, it's so beautiful. It's heartbreaking to see how being sick has changed Edward and his family. How Bella has lost her passion in life and finds it again through love and compassion. Grand Jete is written in third person from Bella's point of view. Also, the epilogue is pretty creative and original, I enjoyed this fic so much. I'll probably read it again in a few weeks.

Grand Jete consists of 63,071 words and 18 chapters. This fic is rated MA for lemons and adult content. 

Bella Swan has a plan. It may not be a very good plan - or smart, or ethical for that matter - but it’s a plan. An idea made from the love of her big sister Alice, who has just overcome ovarian cancer and cannot have children of her own. So with the help of her best friend Rosalie, Bella is looking for the perfect candidate for Operation Turkey Baster, i.e. a well built, attractive, clean and healthy yet somewhat irresponsible guy who will impregnate her during a one-night-stand.

But of course, nothing ever goes exactly according to plan... Like the fact that Edward Cullen, the man basting her “turkey”, happens to want more with Bella than just one night and won't take no for an answer. Or that he is far from being some random guy she met in a bar, but might have been particularly chosen by Rosalie... When Bella finally starts to reciprocate Edward’s feelings, disaster strikes in the form of a pregnant ex-girlfriend. Which is right around the same time Bella realizes she’s expecting a little Cullen herself. 

Counselor needs no introduction when it comes to her amazing stories. She’s well known for taking a simple idea and launching it into what could be a full blown best-selling novel. Lucky for us, she writes for free. She’s also known to use religion in her stories with a very tasteful and enlightening technique. Written in Bella’s point of view, Turkey Baster is not what you think based on the title alone. There is a large amount of angst in the story and very little humor or fluff. This story has a strong backbone and does not stray far from the original plot. The writing holds enough emotion and depth to bring you to tears from sadness, happiness, or even laughter. Counselor has a definite style that makes her writing stand out as it is almost as if the main character is pulling you along for the ride. When they hurt, you hurt. It’s that intense, the words are that powerful. You’re definitely able to recognize and follow the character growth in this story. There are no loose ends, everything wraps up into one beautiful bow. Personally, I've read Turkey Baster four times - it’s one of my top five fics of all time.

Turkey Baster consists of 32 chapters and 66,674 words. The story is rated MA for graphic sexual content, language, violence, and other adult material. Also, please be aware that although there is no scene of the incident itself, Bella is the victim of rape from someone close to home.

Bella Swan starts a new period of her life by leaving her small-town home behind and moving to Berkeley, CA. There she begins working at the archives of the university library and constantly runs into mysterious and tortured Edward Cullen.

Just like his sister Alice, Edward was adopted by Carlisle and Esme Cullen after his biological parents died under tragic circumstances. Haunted by his past and a former affair, and in constant pain from a back injury Edward more and more often retreats into his own shell and avoids any human contact whatsoever. It doesn't help that he feels immensely yet unintelligibly drawn to his new colleague Bella Swan. And once these two have to work on a project together, he is suddenly forced to face her instead of hiding...

Love Amongst the Ruins might be known to many of avid fanfiction readers out there. It's a classic, really! But for those of you who have never heard of the story before, let me tell you, you missed out on something! theladyingrey42 has a very unique style of writing. Edward and Bella's tales are presented with tons of metaphors and allegories that are so beautiful that one tends to get lost in them. Read it to see for yourselves!

Love Amongst the Ruins consists of 42 chapters and a total of 335,214 words. The story is rated MA for foul language, violence, and graphic description of sexual activities.

Edward Cullen has just one thing in mind: revenge. He wants nothing more than to let Aro Volturi pay for the deaths of his brother and niece, and oh so many other girls all over the world! So one night, after months of planning, Edward finally manages to break into the government agency lead by Aro and begins looking for evidence. After finding Aro's laptop he tries to access and download the most important files but even with the help of computer geek Jasper, he seems to be unable to crack the password. Right in this moment Felix stumbles into the office with a pretty brunette by his side, apparently Aro's PA. And all of a sudden, things change - Edward Cullen has just one thing in mind: her!

What I Want is the companion piece to Want No More, which is written out of Bella's persepctive. In this one shot, Edward is cocky yet not necessarily rude. He is respectful towards Bella but makes sure she knows how much he wants her. It's too bad that Savage7289 restricted herself to only one (or two) chapter(s) - this plot would have deserved to be expanded to at least twenty times as much!

What I Want is a one shot and consists of 13,587 words. The story is rated MA for graphic description of sexual activities. If you are off age I'll advise you not to read the fanfiction!

After a tragic car accident that caused the death of her mother, Bella is suffering from severe back pain. Upon the advice of her physician Carlisle Cullen, she starts visiting his sons Emmett, a chiropractor, and Edward, a massage therapist. And once gentle hands touch her skin and emerald eyes see her soul, Bella knows things will never be the same again.

Edward Cullen is haunted by the past. Each day, he writes to his late former girlfriend Tanya and tries to come to terms with what happened to her, him, them. Ridden by guilt and pain, Edward put up walls to keep those who want to come too close out of reach, but once he lays eyes on his new patient Bella Swan, brick by brick comes crashing down...

But Edward knows that it's unethical to start a relationship with a client, no matter how smart, funny, and beautiful that client might be. It isn't until the appearance of a rival, and the awareness that he and Bella share the same passion for music, that Edward realizes that love is more important than ethics.

The story is written from both Edward's and Bella's point of view (Bella writes to her dead mother Reneé and Edward to the equally dead Tanya). While the beginning is a little slow, GemGirl65 makes up for that in the later chapters. Once Edward and Bella are together, they are just absolutely cute, loving, and sexually insatiable! Things are getting hot!

Massage Therapy consists of 52 chapters and a total of 308,939 words. The story is rated MA for graphic descriptions of sexual activities. If you are under the age of 18, I'll advise you not to read the fanfiction!

Edward is a fighter, and a pretty good one, mind you. Twice a week, he is locked inside a small cage inside Jasper's bar "Feet First" and faces a man who wants nothing more than to rip his throat out. But Edward loves it, lives it, and in his opinion, it is far better than going back the pompous place he once called home. One night, while enjoying a cigarette, Edward notices a young woman being harassed by a group of drunken men. He manages to help the girl and is surprised by her beauty and naivety. As it happens, Bella just moved into the apartment below him. She was given a scholarship for "Masen College" and studies Economics. In order to keep Bella safe Edward walks her home every night, after she finishes her shift at "Newton's" bar. He finds out that, just like him, she is running away from her past - which just adds to the many reasons why he just can't let her go... Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a superb story! Really, I'm not exaggerating! Caged has everything a really good AH Edward/Bella fanfiction needs: it's realistic, funny, exciting (I read about half of the story before I finally surrendered to sleep and put the kindle away), romantic, and includes an almost always naked Edward! What do you want more? But seriously, Caged is a one-of-a-kind. Savage7289's style of writing is right in the face and unvarnished. This is a dirty story with lots of dirty words, but also with many sweet moments! Read it, if you're over 18!

So far, Caged consists of 34 chapters and a total of 252,923 words. The story is rated MA for violence, drug abuse, and graphic description of sexual activities. If you are under the age of 18 I'll really advise you not to read the fanfiction.
