Seargeant Major Edward Cullen is honorably discharged after being shot in in the leg. Looking for a new place to stay he stumbles upon the advert of one Isabella Black, who has a room for rent. When Edward meets Bella and her lively five-year-old son Seth, he suddenly knows where he belongs... Six years ago, Bella's husband, U.S. Marine Jacob Black, left home and was deployed to the Middle East. He never returned. Ever since then the young woman struggles with the difficulties of being a single mother, the overpowering pain and sorrow, as well as the chronical lack of money. She decides to offer the spare room of the house up for rent and experiences a rollercoaster of emotions when finally someone seems to be interested... It is really difficult to write good fluffy stories. Why? Well, it can get boring pretty fast. As fluffy fanfics tend to be angst-free and have this "and they lived happily ever after"-theme going the author's writing is what keeps it interesting. By Your Leave is such a story. Bella and Edward are meant for each other and once they both realize that, nothing goes wrong. jonesn353402 style of writing is simple yet very appealing. She included a lot of really sweet and sigh-worthy moments in the story. Really romantic!

After attending the bachelorette party of her best friend Rose in Chicago, Bella is on her way home to Seattle. Unfortunately, bad weather conditions delay her flight and force her to spend more time at the airport than planned. In search for a place to sit, she meets U.S. marine Edward Cullen, who is waiting for his flight to New York. The two hit it off immediately and the eight hours they spend together until Edward has to leave, are packed with lots of flirting and humor! TheFicChick released her first Twilight fanfiction in October 2012, really I kid you not! It's so hard to believe that she hasn't been doing this for ages because her depiction of the characters is spot-on and her writing style impeccable!

And once, Edward comes home these two really use their pent-up energy! Angst-free.
