Lisa picks:

Natural Satellites & Shooting Stars by GemmaH - It's Post-Breaking Dawn,
Renesmee has reached maturity and is living with Jacob.
When a threat to their relationship arrives that neither of them has anticipated,
will it interfere with the inevitability that they thought their bond held?
(Rated: M - Supernatural/Romance - Chapters: 18 – Incomplete – Renesmee and Jacob)

This story takes a natural, realistic approach to what could have happened to 
Renesmee and Jacob after Breaking Dawn.

The Canvas by Twiholic - Bella is a curator and in a serious relationship. When she meets a handsome artist, her life becomes one of confusion and anguish. Will she decide to go with the comfortable familiarity of her old lifestyle, or will she jeopardize it all for an adventure? (Rated: M - General - Chapters: 4 – Incomplete – Edward and Bella)

The author doesn’t waste any time getting to the lemons and she went “there” and took me with her ;)

Jingle Balls by GemmaH -When Bella is offered a job with the mysterious 
Cullen family she accepts.

But will she be able to accept how their secret affects their beautiful and hot son Edward?
With enough lemons thrown in, I'm guessing yes ;o
(Rated: M - Romance/Humor – Chapters: 8 – Complete – Bella and Edward)

This was light-hearted fun for the holidays,

and my super bloggy BFF Mrs. P at TwiBite and I make cameos in it!

El Circo de Cullen by hugthystratosphere (aka Shits and Giggles)

An anonymous, collaborative effort from some of your favorite ff author's! 
Completely obnoxious, guaranteed to offend, 
horribly taboo, nothing is left untouched! 
WE TAKE NO PRISONERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! 
(Rated: M - Humor/Parody – Chapter 1 – Complete – Bella and Edward)

What else can I say other than it was 
recommended by JJ at Twitarded, and it’s pooptastic!

Vampires Pick Dare by LouLa - What do you have to be afraid of when 
you are immortal

and unbreakable during a truth or dare game? Only the truth could hurt you.

A truth or dare game between Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Alice, and Bella gets

a bit steamier than expected. Minor slash scene. 
(Rated: M - Romance/Humor – Chapter 1 – Complete – Bella and Edward)

Can’t remember how I found my way to this one, 
but not being savvy about reading the

rating codes yet, it took an unexpected 
turn in a “on-no-they-didn’t” sort of way.

Blood and Lust by AwesomeSauce76 - Edward is having trouble balancing his 
urges for Bella's blood and Bella's body before

the wedding. What started out as a simple "Practice Fic" has become

a retelling of BD from EPOV that lets us see just how 
much he struggles for control at every turn.

(Rated: M - Romance/Angst - Chapters: 14 – Incomplete – Edward and Bella)

Love this one for taking a Midnight Sun approach to the story.

I am putting these on my list because everyone 
in my bloggy universe is pointing their finger at

me and telling me I haven’t experienced ff until 
I’ve read them, so they are on my high-priority

To Do list. I pinky swear I will read them so that
 I can figure out what cupcakes, cookies, 
unicorns, kittens, and tatts have to do with ff!!

Wide Awake by AngstGoddess003

Edward and Bella have dark pasts that leave them severely emotionally

scarred, with nightmares that force them to stay awake. 
They meet and begin

to form a bond during the night hours.
 (Rated: M - Angst/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 42 – Complete – Bella and Edward)

Clipped Wings & Inked Armor by HunterHunting - 
Haunted by her past Bella is broken and 
alone. Starting over,

can she let go of the guilt that consumes 
her when she meets a beautiful tattoo

artist or will his own personal demons destroy them first? 
(Rated: M - Romance/Angst - Chapters: 36 – 
Incomplete – Edward and Bella)

Tina's picks:

Work In Progress - by araeo -AU/AH: Bella, Edward and the usual suspects are adults living in Seattle. They hit it off after a klutzy accident and E awakens B's ovaries, who never hesitate to voice their pervy opinion in B's head. Rated M for language and lemons.

I relate to Bella, her personality attitude are so similar to my own, Edward has a sense of humour and he is playful and sexy at the same time, and the lemons are freaking juicy heehee.

Mr Horrible by algonquinrt - They meet at a gallery, from two different worlds. Watch as they learn... oh, who am I kidding here? They meet. They are opposites. They attract. Rated M for serious potty mouth and scenes of the citrus variety.

I really related to this Bella. loved her Edward and it's hilarious.

The Dominant/ The Submissive by tarasueme -Because every story has two sides - The Submissive from EPOV. Rated M for Adult Themes and D/s. Will make more sense if you read The Submissive first./Can Bella Swan warm and win the heart of dom, Edward Cullen, while living out her darkest fantasy? ADULT THEMES. AH, OOC.

Edward struggles between his physical relationship with Bella as a sub, and the relationship he wants to have with her, plus domward is sexy.

The List .by LauraCullen - Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list.

Bella's list about all the things she wants to do with Edward slowly gets fulfilled, guaranteed lemon every chapter.

Innocence Is Dripping Red by echoesoftwilight - Darkward Vampfic Contest Winner: A bored and jaded Edward has his own way of spicing up his lonely existence. Rated M for graphic lemons and language. Not for the faint of heart - you have been warned.

Cause I love Darkward. The juiciest Darkward lemon I've read so far.

My picks:

Fearless » by mygoldeneyedangel - After being adopted by Carlisle, Edward moves to Forks. There, he meets Bella and she is determined to fight his hidden monsters. AH

This is one of the first ff I ever read and it is my favorite. I even got to do an interview with the author here and a guest post here for Super Secret Twilight blog about how much I love it and encourage everyone to read it.

Pic by cutie.

Alphabet Weekends » by the-glory-days - Bored with their dismal sex lives, best friends Edward and Bella come up with the idea of exploring the world of sex using the alphabet for the next twenty-six weekends. What happens when things go from two friends having fun to something serious? AH OOC

I was so nervous I would miss updates on this one that I signed up for alerts through ff.net and Twilighted. By the time it was half finished I receiving 4 emails every time there was a new chapter.

Master of the Universe » by Snowqueens Icedragon - Bella Swan is drafted in to interview the reclusive enigmatic Edward Cullen, multi-millionaire CEO of his company. It's an encounter that will change her life irrevocably, leading her to the darkest realms of desire. MA Adult Themes AH AU

If you need me I'll be on my knees in the red room of pain with fifty shades.

Memory in Blood by araeo - AU. Edward is an unapologetic "Recycler" of the scum of the human population. But when his plan is suddenly ruined by the appearance of a certain brunette, his world is changed irrevocably. E/B. Dark themes.

The best written Darkward one shot I have read and araeo is one of the best writers in fanfiction.

Boy in the Red Sweater » by Starrynytex - Complete. Laced in silence and bound by his black web of a backpack, the new boy dressed in the faded red pullover is driving Bella insane with curiosity. Don't judge a boy by his sweater. AH. M for future chaps, language, dark themes.

My favorite Geekward.

Buried Among the Begonias » by DurtyNelly - Why has Alice kept her best friend, Bella, away from her twin brother? What will happen when she finally meets him? Will Alice's warnings keep Bella way, or will she do something very stupid? AH, OOC, VERY SADISTIC DARK EDWARD, MA

What can I say? I love a man with issues cause I can totally fix him.

Poughkeepsie » by Mrs.TheKing - AU. Bella is at the train station when a homeless man gets attacked. Even if the other train passengers can turn their backs on 'Crazy', the man that pretends to play piano on cardboard, Bella can't.

Beautifully written and compelling. One of my favorite versions of Edward.

Library Rendezvous by antiaol - Two strangers, three months of flirting, one night of passion leading to a forever. BxE **LEMONS**

This one was mt first fanfic and I didn't even know how to set up an alert. I left a comment stating this and the wonderful antiaol took pity on me and sends me alerts.

Subject: Edward Cullen AKA The Womanizer by emarroquin - Edward's family hire Bella Swan to break the heartbreaker's heart in hopes to have him see the error of his womanizing ways. Bella realizes that they have a little too much in common and is having a little too much fun with this subject. EXB

Can't go wrong with lots of angst and lemons.

Something Stupid by WndrngY - Edward is sick of being treated like a pretty, delicious piece of meat. Bella is sick of being treated like an untouchable porcelain doll. He wants to be loved, she wants to be ravished. Someone has to lose for the other to win, right? One or both of them are bound to do some stupid things to get their heart’s desire. AU/AH

Sweet and sultry.

Midnight Desire by Twilightzoner - It was said of early vampire books and movies that vampirism was simply a poorly disguised substitute for sex. Back in the day, the entire genre was considered extremely risque'. With that in mind, this is a parody of Midnight Sun replacing all the vampirism with sexuality - no blood lust - just extreme human lust. AH/AU and consequently, OOC.

This is basically Twilight in EPOV without all the sexy left out. Thanks Twilightzoner.

The Red Line by WinndSinger - Edward is an exotic male dancer. Bella is a college student studying psychology and needs a subject to do her thesis on. Bella pays Edward to belong to her for 2 weeks so she can study him. Things soon get very interesting between them. Rated M AH OOC.

For me, this was Twilight in real life. Edward is what he is due to circumstances that were not his fault. He believes himself to be a monster and so do other people who learn of him. It was sad and beautiful and uncomfortable and very moving.

You Get Me Closer To God by americnxidiot - They meet for one reason, and one reason alone. Everybody's happy. Nobody gets hurt. Right?

I read this in like a day. I kept thinking just one more chapter. Sexy!

The Office by tby789 - Edward is a beautiful bastard and Bella, the beautiful bitch's boss, but do they really hate each other?

A panty ripping good time.
