Summary: Edward is a 27-year-old alcoholic/addict struggling with his recovery. Bella is a 23-year-old who's moved back home after college. This fic chronicles how they meet, fall in love, and struggle with the complexities of their relationship. Not nearly as maudlin as it sounds (I hope).
This is one of my favorites right now. TalulaBlue does an amazing job and I love her writing style. She is incredibly realistic and doesn't dramatize or downplay things. It is so nice not to have to read through the bullshit that a lot of authors put into their fics.
I absolutely love this Edward as well, I've always had a thing for damaged/shattered boys and I'm rooting for him so much! Bella is always an interesting issue for me in stories, because she is one of those characters I never really liked in the actual books. In With Teeth, I like her and find her a lot more confident than the self-conscious Bella from the actual books.
Right at this moment, Edward and Bella are in a tough spot and I can't wait to see what is going to happen next!
Though this story does have drug use, so if that is something that bothers you than I would skip this fic.

Failure to Thrive by Julesnerd
Failure to Thrive by Julesnerd
Summary from Twilighted.net:
Bella remains sexually unfulfilled after three separate liaisons with “boys” instead of men. Diagnosed as frigid, she is on the verge of giving up on her sexuality. She encounters Edward Masen, another sexual misfit, and things begin to change. B/E/AH/AU/OOC. Rated NC-17 for language and sexual content.

I've been reading this story since the beginning and I have to say that it is a refreshing blend of humor and real life problems. While Bella and Edward's relationship problems are comical most of the time there is an underlying seriousness that is really refreshing. I find Bella's dreams hilarious. This is certainly worth a read.

Don't Mess With the Help Contest
I have never entered a contest before but the Don't Mess With the Help Contest is tempting me more than I though was possible. I have already written three pages with this contest in mind. This is probably a bad thing since I have yet to submit my completed chapter 3 for Forever Love.
The Don't Mess With the Help Contest, which is being put on by Twi-Fic Promotions, is simply a contest that include two characters: "the help" and "the employer." They are allowing any pairing too.

Ashen Skies, A Tainted Genocide by QuestionXisting
Ashen Skies, A Tainted Genocide by QuestionXisting
http://twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=9789
Summary from twilighted.net:
The Holocaust. They told us never to forget, and we promised always to remember. But like everything else, it is locked away, and slowly forgotten. The over-population of the Earth is now a high priority. The situation is critical and it seems like the extermination and genocide of human beings is the only “logical” answer to survival. The shadow of another Holocaust is on the horizon. Edward a confused & troubled military conformant is pressed into doing what is considered “right” and following his heart, knowing that they both would ultimately lead to his demise.
This story is seriously one of my all time favorites. Even though it is emotionally draining for most people, I love it. It is beautifully written and you automatically feel for both Edward and Jasper, and even Rosalie at times. I think this Jasper is one of my all time favorites. While this might be hard to read because of the tender issues it's about, it is definitely worth it.

Catching Up
Lately, there have been a lot of things going on, but I'm starting to get caught up.
My story Forever Love, is going extremely well. And what I mean by that is that I have written the entire ending, but not the middle. But one I wrote the last chapter, chapter 3 came to me easily, so I will be having it up hopefully this week.
What I've been reading lately:
A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF!!!
I have read so much that I can't even list what I have been reading, but I will hopefully posting recs soon.
