My Sweet Variable by LifeInTheSnow
My Sweet Variable by Life in the Snow
Review by Rochelle Allison
Having read Branching Inward, I was confident that the writing style and content of Life in the Snow's new fic, My Sweet Variable, would appeal to me as well. She's pretty masterful at fleshed out, genuine characterizations and plots that meander and flow with purpose and beauty.
Anyway, to say that her new story exceeded expectation would be an understatement.
It's so good! It's completely unlike anything else I've read: intrigue, mystery, dystopian. So good. I can already see that this is going to be one of the stories I pant over when it updates. I read chaoter one with the biggest grin ever.
Edward is sexy and mysterious (mysterious to us, though not to Bella) yet very accessible and Bella is pretty tough and able herself, though she doesn't quite know it yet. I can't reveal anything about who they are to each other, and ...well, I don't want to give anything away. Read this. It's fantastic and sure to be amazing.
Practice to Deceive by Livie79

Beautiful Storm by Troublefollows1017 -
Weather-obsessed Bella finds Edward's journal, leading her on a trip down memory lane. Back then, Edward had run away, hoping to find a new purpose. Bella couldn't wait for her chance to escape, sure she knew what she wanted. Neither one expected this.
Review by: FictionFreak95
Trouble gives me so much happy with this fic. She gave me lock jaw from smiling so much this past week as a matter of fact and I even told her so.
I’ll just start out by saying, this is not just another story about High School Edward and Bella. The story begins, actually, with adult Bella finding adult Edward’s journal under their bed. Their bed. So we know they are together, somehow, we just don’t know how they got there… Until Bella starts reading the journal.
She finds a note, first of all, addressed to her, from Edward. It’s… *swoony worthy* and then she just can’t help but begin reading through his memories of how the two of them first met and how they fell in love. It’s a journey I’m excited to be a part of because I know the genius that is Trouble… and she will never ever write something that I’m planning on passing up.
I’ll leave you with a little snippet from my favorite chapter yet:
Edward tilted his head towards mine. "Why is everyone staring at me?" he whispered.
Because you're with me. "Have you seen yourself?" I joked instead.
He pushed at his hair. "No, I haven't looked at myself since this morning. Is there something wrong?"
I giggled at his anxiety. "There's nothing wrong with you." Besides the fact that you're walking with me. "People are attracted to pretty things, Edward."
The nerves fell away and he smiled. "Did you just call me good looking?"
"No," I snorted. "I called you pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're weird." I shook my head, refusing to let his words settle into my consciousness. I needed to get to Angela. If I could get to Angela, everything would be okay.
"You're weird."
"You're terrible at basketball."
"So are you," he retorted. "We should join forces. Maybe get married, have a couple pretty but weird kids who are really good at physics but terrible at basketball."
I dropped my tray on Angela's table and tried to pretend Edward did not just say that. She stopped talking to Ben and stared as Edward took the seat next to me.
"Hi," he said, smiling and giving a little wave.
Angela seemed to be suffering from cat-got-your-tongue disease, but Ben welcomed Edward with a rhetorical, "What's up?" When Angela stopped staring at our guest, she began berating me with her eyes. She also cleared her throat. Three times. I stared back, giving her my "What?" look. Her eyes moved to Edward and then back to me. Again, I gave her my "What?" look. So what if Edward was sitting with us? What the hell was her problem? Did she not understand that I was under severe emotional distress? Edward Cullen, the hottest guy in school, was my friend, said I was pretty and weird, and wanted to marry me and have pretty weird kids together. That trumped any issues she had with him joining us for lunch.
"Edward, right?" Angela questioned, putting on her friendliest smile. I loved that she was trying to play it cool.
Before Edward could confirm what my best friend already knew to be true, Heidi and Gianna rudely interrupted. "Here you are! We were saving you a spot over at our table for lunch. Don't feel like you have to sit alone," Gianna said, putting a hand out.
I crossed my arms in front of my chest, trying to figure out when sitting with three other people was considered sitting alone.
"I think I'm going to stay here with Bella, but thanks."
"Oh silly..." Heidi placed her hand on his shoulder, and the urge I had to bite it made me smile "...not even Emmett sits with Bella. He sits with us at the tables over there." She pointed to the table filled with the Bitch Brigade next to another table of football players.
"Bella and I have to share an apple." Poor Edward turned the color of our sweet little prize as he held it up as proof that he had to stay here. Heidi and Gianna stared at him like he had two heads. I bit my lip to stop myself from laughing. That's right, ladies. Edward and I share joint custody of an apple. Back the hell off.
God I love this guy. SFM.
Now go, run, do not walk to your nearest computer or otherwise internet savvy device and read it, the Storm is a brewin’ and it’s gonna be a fantastic ride!
LOVE!
Fangirl by MaverickWrit - rec'd by Mina Rivera
"I am not obsessed," I repeated to myself for the hundredth time today. "I am simply enjoying a film. It's not obsession. I am not a fangirl." Bella Swan is in deep denial.
Footprints in the Snow by Cosmogirl7481- rec'd by TLS FIC OF THE WEEK
"An hour from now, when the snow falls again, it will be like we weren't even there. But we will remember." A story of unrequited love, and how the things we keep silent can hurt us and the ones we hold closest. E/B Rated M for themes of an adult nature.
Last Call by Robsmyyummy Cabanaboy - rec'd by LaMomo/Suebee
The past she's struggling to remember is the time he'd rather forget... Can they move beyond the scars and forge a new beginning together or have they missed their Last Call? AH, Rated M for language & lemons.
What would you do if you couldn't remember your past? If the past few years of your life were wiped clean? If you had to recreate yourself? Most would talk to family members and friends, but what if they no longer existed either? Bella Swan lost her parents and her husband in a fatal car crash, the night of her wedding. When she woke up, she didn't remember them or herself.
With no one to talk to, she went on with her life. After years of rehab, she has settled in the summer haven of Loveladies on the Jersey shore, a place of her youth and her past, although, none of it is familiar to her. Looking to begin her life again, maybe she will have the chance to do so when she meets someone who does know her from before, although he isn't too pleased to see her.
When the waiter at the local bar serves them, and recognizes Bella, she has hope for finding out about herself although is the possibility dashed when he reveals to her friend, "Listen, I'm your bartender here and will happily take care of your drink orders for the night. But honestly, there's not one shred of decency in your little friend back there. At least there wasn't when I knew her. And I really don't care to revisit those days, ok? Life's too short, you know? My name is Edward. Let me know if I can get you anything else."
"Last Call" is a hilarious fic which is going to keep us guessing because the Bella we now know is not the one that Edward remembers. I can't wait to find out what Robsmyyummy Cabanaboy has planned for us on this adventure!!
Patience is a Virtue by conversed - rec'd by PAWsPeaches
AGE GAPS FIVE: Emmett told me that good things come to those who wait. When it comes to his brother, Edward, patience is a virtue that I lack. AH M/M slash.
Requiem by katinki - published 11/28
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Cor. 13:13. When hope and faith are insufficient – when they fail to heal and save the soul – is love strong enough to conquer decades of guilt and remorse? AU. ExB
Skim the Surface by buff82 - rec'd by the ladies of TLS
Rumor has it. Bella deals with the reality that one little lie told can change everything. A/U Rated M for mature content.
String Theory by theladyingrey42 - published 11/27
"Eleven dimensions. Infinite parallel realities. And in all of them, I love her." Muppets, math, and physicists falling in love. Fluff and eventual lemons. ExB, AH.
Water Landing by camoozle - published 11/27
High School's a lot like a plane crash. You check for the exit. You secure your mask. And if you're lucky, you survive. AU, AH, All EPOV.
If you enjoy reading a story about a perfect Edward, then I suggest checking out any of the other stories rec'd this week. However, if you are interested in an Edward whose High School experience was about the same as most teen's, then this is the fic for you! Edward isn't popular, although he does have friends, he drives a Volvo, but it was his dad's and has seen better days, he is a musician, he plays the trumpet in the school's marching band, do I need to go on? A regular, nice guy surviving hell called High School and a home life where his pregnant teen sister is constantly being filmed for '16 and Pregnant', Edward Masen is doing his best to get by. Jam packed with a huge cast of characters, hilarious dialogue and an evolving plot check out Camoozle's "Water Landing" for a humorous look at a life, through a teen boy's eyes.

~PAWsPeaches
Newborns for August 20, 2011:
Two beautiful souls humbly traveling life's lonely path, until fate suddenly shows her hand. Will Edward and Bella surrender willingly... A tender, romantic tale of love and life in the clouds.
Edward owns a resterant/bar, Bella is a flight attendant. She goes to dinner with friends, spots hot guy behind the bar wearing a WATCH (yes, I said wearing a watch *sizzle*) and he finds his way to her table. After a few shared glances, that will ignite your insides...things start to heat up. Will they meet again after one steamy night? Bella isn't prepared for the passenger boarding her next Outbound flight and fate couldn't have prepared either of them, for the flight their lives would take, after it.
The writing in this story and the chemistry between the two writers ( jarkin33 and pheobes.promise ) is impeccable. This story grabbed me, picked me up and flew me away from my mommy duties and anxious worries with reality, for awhile, and left me feeling light, bubbly, happy and ravenous for more. The back story to the characters in this fic will have you emotionally involved from the go and the descriptive manner that aftrnoondlight displays in this work will pluck you, right from where you are, and insert you straight into the story. Outbound is only three chapters in so far, so join us for this flight!
Dear Maggie by Jenny0719
A heart leads Bella back home to Forks... and to the brother of the woman who donated it. M for Lemons/OOC/Language
I found this story while digging through the newly published twifics about a week ago and I was intrigued by the summary which lead me to reading the first chapter. I devoured the first 2 chapters immediately and luckily the 3rd chapter posted soon after.
I can't say enough about this story to give it justice because it's just that good. You will have to trust me on this when I say READ THIS STORY FOR YOURSELF, you will see, lol. The synopsis is so refreshing and untouched in my ficlife, that I thoroughly enjoy it and who can resist a BADASS Edward? This Edward comes off with a swagger that I can only compare to PAW (PunKAssWard from A Pound of Flesh by jaxon22) Nuff said. Tell her TLS sent you:0)
Vinyl by 107yearoldvirgin
Its just another day at Vinyl Records Store: Fun. Uncomplicated. Just like having sex with your best friend, and coworker, should be. At least, that's what Bella and Edward are hoping. The rest of the employees, on the other hand...
Have you ever read a story that made you feel a little cooler than you really are? Did you enjoy that feeling? If so, then Vinyl is the story for you. I have trouble coming up with witty remarks so I naturally admire the friends that always provide them. In Vinyl, you will find yourself giggling left and right at the hysterical banter between the characters that all gather to work in this record store aptly named "Vinyl". Not only does vinyl deliver insanely hot lemons but you won't be able to deny the love for this Edward and this Bella. My insides constantly smiled while reading this story and Virgy has placed such a unique cast together (Ryan Gosling - Jasper / Natalie Portman - Alice / Jensen Ackols - Emmett for starters ) which she has written to perfection. Put the needle to the record and let Vinyl take you for a spin, It has an HEA!
Another new story which comes highly rec'd from our ffwhisperer Nic:
The Mating Bond by LailaB
It's like tunnel vision. And once eye contact is made, there is absolutely no reversing it. The more contact that is made and the more intimate the contact becomes, the more animalistic and primal the bond comes to be. Will Bella be able to handle it?
All Nighters by CaraNo
Edward Cullen needs a new assistant for when he travels. When Charlie, close friend and business partner, suggests Bella, Edward doesn't hesitate. After all, he knows what a bright young woman Bella is. His ex wife even used to babysit her. Drabble fic.
This fic finds an Older Edward partnered in an Architecture firm with Charlie Swan in Cullen Swan Architecture. When Charlie's daughter comes home for awhile and needs a job, Edward can't help but to remember the beautiful girl that he's watched grow since birth and he certainly can't deny his attraction when she steps into his office as a grown woman, no longer a child.
I love how we know how attracted Bella is to Edward and vice versa while the two of them remain oblivious for the first few chapters. I already love this Edward.. go see for yourself, you will too.
This story is brand new with extremely short chapters. It's a drabble fic, only 7 chapters so far and you can read all within 10 minutes and that counts reviewing time as well. It's perfect for those of you that are just like me, scared of committment, you won't have to commit hours of your day to this one, lol.
with love,

Pocket Change by aWhiteBlankPage
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7122044/1/Pocket_Change
I know of three kinds of change: the kind that jangles around in your pocket, the kind that happens slowly, every moment of every day, and the kind that blows you away in an instant.
aWhiteBlankPage is a first time author, with a riveting story of loss, life and love that everyone should be reading. The first chapter pulls you in and keeps you searching for more. More answers, more words and more fantastic writing. Through flashbacks, aWhiteBlankPage gives you bits and pieces of Edwards and Bella's history that has led them to the lives they have now while simultaneously pushing forward and showing how their lives are now changing. I know, I know that this is a few days outside of the 'last 30 days' rule, but I had to bend that for this story. Most of us over at TLS are reading this story and you should definitely be too!
Her Secrets by samrosey
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7108369/1/
Dancing in light, she holds keys to pretty boxes of secrets she'llnever tell. A sequences of drabbles from him and her. AH. Edward/Bella. Rated: M
You know what I love? When an author trusts the readers enough to provide them with just enough information...just enough of the story to be drawn in then lets their imaginations do some of the work. samrosey does that with each and every story she writes and Her Secrets is no exception. Her writing is poetic, lyricial and beautiful so go check it out!
Pinky Swear by kharizzmatik http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7068944/1/

kharizzmatik is back and with something completely different than what you'd expect. Can we all thank shearenvy for daring her to write this? A story told in all BPOV it's only two chapters in and with weekly updates you'll be waiting around on Friday's just for the email alert! Go check it out now!
Words Like Art by ltlerthqak
Every open door offers the chance of a great story. Ours started with a slip of pink paper... Rated T
First of all do NOT let the T rating scare you... people look at me like I'm crazy when I recommend a 'T' rated fic, but to be honest I have quite a few that are among my all-time favorites and this one is joining them. You might know ltlerthqak from Giofógach and all it's awesomeness, and she continues to pull me in with her incredible writing skill. This story is only two chapters in and I'm hooked on doormanward. Weekly updates on this story as it's already complete!
