30 Days of Fanfic ~ Days #12-#15

I’ve been doing this in my Facebook group: Tufano79′s Twilight Fanfiction Appreciation. TwiFanfiction Recs has created a 30 Days of Fic calendar to get us through this uncertain time. You can check out the days here.

Day #12: A fic that breaks your heart

This story ... when I read it, my heart shattered into a million little pieces. Bella was dealt such a shitty hand, but she got her Edward.

"More To Love Than This" by maxigrumpling

Using her best friends offer of marriage to escape a bad situation at home Bella hopes she's finally landed on her feet but she's just swapped one bully for another and this one wants her,and her baby, to pay for his broken heart. Love, loss, sacrifice. AH

Day #13: A fic that introduced you to the fandom

The first story I read from the fandom was The Gentleman from Washington State by Betty Smith. It's been published as A Political Affair by Mary Whitney.

No one expected Stephen McEvoy to fill his father’s U.S. Senate seat at such a young age, least of all him. The scion of a revered political dynasty, he’s appointed to the Senate after his father’s untimely death. Now he’s in a tough election battle against an archconservative. When clever Anne Norwood interns in his office, he dismisses her as another pretty face—until her independent streak catches his attention. She soon finds him far more interesting than his Senator McEvoy persona. They’re both too smart to fall for one another, yet they do. Their relationship becomes a political gamble in a tight election, and all the while, his opposition lies in wait for him to make a mistake. As Stephen’s past catches up with him, he and Anne must fight for their future. Their lives mean more than politics, and campaigns—like love—are either won or lost.

Day #14: A fic that should be published.

Goes without saying ... The Gravity Series by Drotuno

Blood and Glory

The definition of a mercenary is a soldier for hire. His crew are trained fighting machines. Hers are smart PIs. What happens when they need each other to survive? Canon couples. AH/AU. Rated M for lots of reasons, including violence and lemons.

image
Sin and Innocence

The sequel to Blood & Glory: Gravity's business is booming, but what happens when a ghost from the past shows up, taking the only thing that matters? Can the team work together to fix it, or will they rip apart at the seams? Rated M E/B

image
Smoke and Mirrors

3rd in the Gravity Series. Carlisle brings a client to Gravity for protection, but there is more to this famous female singer than meets the eye. Bella, Edward, and crew not only will have to keep her safe but figure out who is threatening her. AH/Sequel

image
Fire and Ice

FOURTH in the Gravity Series. When one of their own is threatened, the crew will have to travel halfway around the globe to get them back. What they find will have them racing against the odds to save more than just one life. AH E/B Series.

image
Heaven and Earth (which UPDATED TODAY!!! Squee!!)

Gravity Investigations, busy as always, takes a protection detail that results in more than just a paycheck. Edward and Bella, separated by 70 floors of Twi Tech Tower, must fight to stop what could be an act of war. 5th in the Gravity Series. Canon Couples, AH.

Day #15: A fic that reminds you of school

This has one of the creepiest Carlisles in FF, but I love this story. I think it's time for a reread! The Biology Project by solosintwilight

Edward's an addict resisting treatment, Bella's a girl who just wants a boyfriend already. What happens when they get paired up for a Biology Project? Bio Lab could get interesting...

image
My own story, Finding Love Through Music, reminds of school, but as a teacher.

Edward is a choral director, reeling from his recent divorce from his wife, Jessica. His world is filled with his daughter, Emma, his music and his job. Bella is an English teacher, running from her past and wary of love. ExB, AH, AU
