Rosalie Hale is convinced that her best friend Bella Swan needs to see more than just the rainy countryside of Forks, Washington, and manages to persuade the young teacher to join her on a safari in African Kenya. No sooner said than done, Bella sits in a lodge in the middle of nowhere and waits... for the rain to stop. Instead of seeing the big five, the two girls are stuck in their rooms for three days, playing Black Jack as torrential rain platters against the windows. Once the weather improves a little the girls get their bags and rush out of the hotel, right into their jeep. Too dumb that hey don't get too far: soon, their car gets stuck in the mud and the only help they have seems to be two complete strangers, one of which has beautiful bronze-like hair... Red Elephants is a wonderful one shot by a promising author. Amber1983 manages to convincingly describe the living circumstances in Kenya (her own experience helped her a lot with that) as well as the love-at-first-sight experience Bella and Edward go through. The ending is a real tear-jerker, let me tell you, but in a REALLY good way!

For almost seven years social worker Bella Swan has tried to find a new home for brothers Emmett and Tyler McCarty. But because of Emmett's constant troublemaking and Tyler's severe anxiety disorder, no family was willing to keep up with them for longer than a couple of months. After foster parents no. 16 inform Bella that they've had it up to here with Emmett and Tyler, she is on the verge of despair. The only place willing to take care of the boys is The Cullen House, a group home... Cullen House is run by Jasper and Edward Cullen as well as Jasper's wife Alice. Together with cook Tanya and maintenance worker Bill the three take care of up to eight teenage boys who live on the fringes of society. And because of his own experience with law enforcement, Edward manages to connect with the boys especially well. By telling them about his past, he not only tries to keep one more young life from being f***ed up but he also hopes to get a little closer to his own redemption as well.   littlecat358 really knows what she's doing! Really, The Demons in My Dreams is one of the best fanfictions I've EVER read! The characters have a lot of depths, are carefully laid out and 100% believable. Next to the relationship of Edward and Bella, the focus of the story is also Emmett and Rose (there are even two chapters who are written in RPOV and EMPOV), who get into more trouble than is good for them. Oh, and the lemons of The Demon in My Dreams are to die for!!! The Demons in My Dreams consists of 33 chapters and a total of 323,739 words. The story is rated MA for graphic descriptions of sexual activities, violence and drug use. If you're under the age of 18, I'll adivse you not to read the fanfiction.

At nine years old Isabella Swan must helplessly watch as her father Charles is robbed and beaten to death by a gang of thugs. Without the help of a young stranger, who pulled the little girl away from the scene and dragged her into an old warehouse, Isabella would have faced the same fate as her father.

Fifteen years later, Bella follows up on the promise she gave Charlie which is to help others and make a difference in the world. The smart and exceedingly beautiful woman decides to work as a tutor for English Literature at Arthur Kill Correctional Facility in Staten Island. Though her students intimidate her a little at the beginning (after all they all have an astounding criminal record), she manages to get through to them pretty quickly. There is, however, one young man who seems angrier, and more broken than anybody else. And as inmate 061901, aka Cullen, sees his new tutor and inhales her fruity smell, memories from the past come back to the surface...

There are only a handful of authors out there who can pretty much write what they want and it will always end up being brilliant. jaxon22 is on the best way of becoming such an author - her writing and style are sophisticated and the story line is gripping and innovative. Because of Edward's "current place of residence", he and Bella are unable to act on their building tension and attraction towards each other. But, don't worry, peeps, our Edward has the chance of early parole and we shall all be damned if  Bella won't do everything in her power to get it for him!

A Pound of Flesh consists of 47 chapters and a total of 517,119 words. The story is rated MA for graphic description of sexual activities, foul language, and violence. If you're under the age of 18, I'll advise you not to read the fanfiction!

Edward Cullen works for a pharmaceutical company and has to go to Seattle to oversee some tests. He happens to run into an old friend who tells him that Bella Swan still lives in town. Immediately, images of the past appear in Edward's head: how much he loved her, how beautiful she was, how bad things ended... Because he can't get Bella off mind, he decides to visit her at the university where she is a professor for English literature. The moment they meet at her office, Edward knows he's more than willing to give things a second chance. The question is, does Bella as well?

Winter Song is a wonderful story because it is immensely realistic. Bella is hurt by the way Edward ended things ten years ago and thus far from welcoming him with open arms. Instead of jumping his bones at the first chance she gets, she needs time and space to learn to trust him again. And so for this fanfiction the motto is: baby steps instead of giant leaps. The story is completely written from Edward's point of view.

  Winter Song consists of 68 chapters and a total of 123,785 words. The story is rated M for the description of sexual activities.

COMPLETE

Edward enjoys exactly two things in his life: freedom and women. Being a manwhore extraordinaire Edward is far from being interested in settling down; so when one of his former flings shows up at his doorstep and hands him over a newborn, Edward is lost for words. The little bundle in his arms is his daugter Sofia - and from now on Edward's responsibility.

Needless to say, Edward has a problem. Not only does he lack any kind of experience with children, but he also doesn't know how to incorporate Sofia in his busy work schedule. As a doctor, he often has to stay longer than anticipated and is often called in in the middle of the night.

Thank God for Bella Swan! The shy neighbor from next door offers Edward her help and expertise. As a kindergarten teacher Bella knows how to handle small children and it doesn't complicate things when she and Sofia also take an instant liking to each other. And it doesn't take long until Bella manages to capture Edward's heart as well!

Fatherhood, Formula, and Other F-Words is an incredibly sweet story. Without virtually any kind of drama or angst, the reader can just lay back and enjoy seeing Edward with his newborn daughter (whom he calls "Little One" - too cute!). The dialogue is very well written and the characters nicely developed. Taking into consideration that anhanninen actually prefers the pairing of Esme/Carlisle she does an amazing job in portraying the wonderful relationship of Edward and Bella. If you're looking for a story that makes you swoon and sigh happily, go ahead and read!
