Something True by BelieveItOrNot

College dropout Edward Cullen can’t seem to keep hold of love, or his music. A cottage, a lake, a tree, a muse, wrong choices, and heartache. How will these two cope with life and keep afloat? A daily word-prompt WitFit. Alternates between past and present. AH E/B

Rated: Fiction M - English – Angst/Romance – Bella & Edward – Chapters: 20 – Words: 37,557 – Reviews: 1,271 - Favs: 349 – Follows: 597 – Updated: 04-11-13 – Published: 03-15-13 – id: 9103200

Disclaimer: Not only do BelieveItOrNot and I write together on occasion, but she’s also one of my dearest friends—the 10000 miles between us be damned.

As the title implies, Something True is an exploration of truth and falsehood, secrets, rumours, gossip, what things are and what they seem to be. And more than that, it’s the story a young Bella seeking the answer to the question all of us must ask ourselves at some point—who am I? Am I more than the things I’ve done? Am I more than my mistakes and bad choices?

As a little girl, Bella understood secrets. Not the kind learned from others through whispers in ears as she promised not to tell a soul, but the kind that were somehow discovered, that became a true and unwanted part of her—shouts inside her heart that could never be let out. She knew how one secret could grow, stacking itself like a staircase in her mind. And she knew that the longer it went untold, the tighter it had to be locked up, and that if it was released, it would cause devastation and destruction.

Letting a secret like hers out could be like detonating a bomb.

Nobody taught her these things. She just knew. Like knowing if you open your mouth to talk your voice will come out; like knowing if you move one foot in front of the other, you’re walking.

Something True skips back and forward in time, moving between the past and the present with each chapter. Right from the first few chapters, the differences in Bella as we see her “now” and “then” are striking. We see her last winter, as a giggling Junior, holding her own with her friends. This summer, we meet a quiet, withdrawn Senior who is being shunned by almost everyone as taunts fly and rumours abound.

Because of the shift back and forth each chapter, we unravel the mystery of what has happened to change Bella so drastically piece by piece. In the “then” chapters, we watch Bella struggle to come to terms with her mother’s continuing affair. Her English teacher, Mr. Biers, gains her trust with his compliments and kindness, providing a shoulder to cry on and building her sense of self-worth as he ropes her in to grading papers and assisting other students. Vulnerable and somewhat disillusioned, let down by the adults in her life, Bella’s admiration quickly morphs into a crush. Riley—as he allows her to call him—doesn’t discourage her, and it doesn’t take very much before they tumble straight past the line of an acceptable teacher-student relationship.

This can’t end well. And it won’t.

We know from the outset that something will happen to leave present-day Bella a shell of herself, bitter and listless, counting down the days until she can escape from high school. Exactly what it was that’s happened, we can guess, though at this point in the story, we’re not quite sure.

It’s in these present day chapters that we really get to know Edward, too. In his own words, “Some people can be a lot of different things, you know? Maybe that’s why some people have a hard time deciding what to do, because they have a lot of choices. But that’s not me. I’m one thing. A composer. Not a student, not anything else.”

When we meet him, Edward is nursing a broken heart and a dying tree. He’s dropped out of college and is looking for inspiration—for his muse. Through the “now” chapters, we watch Bella and Edward’s friendship grow, their secrets slowly unburdened.

At the time I’m writing this—with eighteen of approximately twenty-five chapters posted—we’re seeing a beautiful, inspiring friendship developing as these two find solace in each other’s company. There’s a peacefulness between them, a sense of trust that allows them to express themselves in each other’s company. As Edward tells Bella early on, “I like your quiet.”

Something True is a witfit (that means BelieveItOrNot gets a prompt each morning, writes her chapter around it and posts the same day), which I think makes the depths this story explores quite remarkable.

I’ll be honest. Personally, I’m generally not interested in reading student-teacher relationships. (Not even, or perhaps especially not, when he’s named Edward.) I’m married to a high school teacher, and I can’t tolerate the romanticizing of these kind of relationships—“age is just a number,” or “it’s different for us.”

But there are some writers I will trust with absolutely any subject, and BelieveItOrNot is one of these writers. There is a grace and sensitivity in the way she approaches difficult subjects that never ceases to amaze me. She has the ability to see beyond the surface of things and to draw out the nuances and complexities that govern the way people interact with each other, and within themselves.

In her writing, we meet characters who are flawed and authentic—real people who make real mistakes. There are no caricatures or melodrama, there is no romanticizing or gratuitous angst—these people and the situations they find themselves in are explored with a deft touch and startling insight.

And of course, I can’t tell you about one of BelieveItOrNot’s stories without mentioning the exquisite craftsmanship that goes into them. The intensity with which she makes you feel, and with such economy of words – it’s steal-your-breath-away stunning. There are a lot of brilliant writers in this fandom, and Believey is among the best of them.

… I’m off to obsessively refresh my email inbox until today’s update lands.

What If by twihart21

*Made by HeatherDawn*

What If ~ Edward is a successful defense attorney living in LA. He lives a lonely, predictable life. But one day, he wakes up in an unfamiliar house, in an unfamiliar room with Bella laying next to him. Will he ever want to wake up from this dream? AH EPOV

Twilight – Rated: M – English – Drama/Romance – Chapters: 31 – Words: 211,785 – Reviews: 2457 – Updated: 7-17-11 – Published: 1-25-10 – Edward & Bella

*Fic is not “complete” in that the final chapter is up, but the epilogue was never posted.

I rec’d What If  by twihart21 in a recent update of my own fic, and Cared asked if I’d be interested in reviewing it for the blog. I’m all kinds of flattered and nervous, so bear with me.

I found twihart21’s story while reading Firefly in Summer as a work in progress. I’ve always had a thing for time travel and parallel universe stories, and FiS left me wanting more – not because the fic was lacking, it’s clearly not – but because I needed something to read between updates. A search of the Twibrary brought me to What If, and I’m so glad it did.

The summary doesn’t quite do this fic justice, although I’m not sure how to explain it all myself. If you say too much it’s spoilery but if you don’t say enough…You just can’t describe it. I’ll give it my best, though. LOL

Los Angeles based attorney Edward Cullen is driven, career focused and lonely. He misses his family and is sick of his predictable life. One night out with friends and family, he’s introduced to a woman, Bella, who makes him wonder if things could be different. Then he wakes up the next morning and everything has changed. He’s in a strange bed with the woman he just met. There’s a picture of the two of them on the wall and as the background picture on his cell phone. He’s inwardly freaking out but she’s entirely comfortable with him.

He sneaks downstairs to investigate while she’s in the shower. He’s never seen the house before, but his friends are all there acting as if everything is normal. He finds mail on the table addressed to himself – but not the self he knows – it’s for Dr. Edward Cullen. In Seattle.

His first reaction to everything is panic. He tries to go home, to find someone who knows him, the Edward he was before he woke up, but it’s as if he’s been erased.

(Edward)

“Hello, sir. Can I help you?” the doorman greeted me. I really wished I could remember people’s names.

“I just have a quick question,” I said, stepping closer to him.

“Okay.”

I leaned towards him and studied him carefully. Still the same doorman, still the same building. What had changed?

“Do I look familiar?”

The expression on his friendly face changed and his eyebrows gathered together in the center of his forehead.

“I mean, the slightest bit? Do you think that there is the slightest possibility that we have met before?”

I stepped even closer, never breaking our eye contact. I wanted to make sure that he stared at me long enough to know without a doubt the answer to my question.

So, I waited. I could tell that he was taking his time, like the solution to this was not easy.

It was as if he knew how important his answer to my question was.

Suddenly, his faced relaxed, and he sighed.

“I’m sorry, sir. But I’m positive we’ve never met.”

I ran my hand through my hair and groaned slightly under my breath. “Thanks anyway. Sorry to bother you.”

Without waiting for his reply, I stalked out of the building and back to the cab. I told the driver to take me back to LAX International Airport.

I wasn’t sure where else to go. I had nothing. I owned nothing. No job. No home. No identity. No life. And for the first time in a long time, I felt completely alone.

As if she heard my thoughts, my phone buzzed in my pocket. A text.

“Come home to me. – B”

I thought for a moment about if I should respond or not. I felt sorry for her. She was waiting on someone. Someone who wasn’t me.

With no home to go back to, Edward has no choice. He jumps into his life in Seattle despite feeling like a fish out of water. He doesn’t know or do things his friends and Bella expect him to, but he’s able to play most of it off. He starts to get a handle on things and recognizes that he likes being this other Edward. He’d rather be this Edward. He loves Bella, and he’s terrified of waking up to find it all gone. Eventually, he can’t fight his feelings and lets himself hope for a future with her.

But this wouldn’t be twific if things went easily, if they rode off into the sunset. Nope. Edward wakes up one morning and he’s back in his cold, sleek Los Angeles condo. I found myself sobbing as I read how Edward reacted to returning to his former life. It was gut wrenching. I couldn’t even imagine his devastation – to finally accept the second chance he felt he’d been given, only to have the rug pulled out from under him.

From there, Edward has one hell of a climb if he wants to get back the life he briefly knew. He has to start over – again. He has to pull himself up, relocate, and convince a girl who hardly knows him that they are in love with each other. It’s no longer a question of what if for him. It’s about what he knows can be.

While I was rooting for Edward and Bella to get back together, I loved that their reunion wasn’t quick and easy. It wasn’t angst ridden I-want-to-eat-Ben-and-Jerry’s-‘til-I-die, but it was real. Because no one lives in a bubble. Life doesn’t always go as planned, and sometimes people get hurt while others are trying to get happy.

I thought Twihart21 did a great job of weaving the different versions of Edward’s life together. There were twists I never saw coming that I felt in my heart because she set them up so perfectly. Little details she dropped in that came back later to fit perfectly in the puzzle. She created an compelling original character in Blake. I liked him a lot, and then I felt awful for him, even during the point of the fic when I wanted to hate him.

This story has humor, some great lemons, some E/B arguments that made me cringe for them, and sweet bits that made me sigh. Pretty much, it had all the feels.

(Edward)

I tip-toed away, thinking about what I had heard.

One broken heart is better than two.

Was it? Possibly.

But I couldn’t help that little feeling inside of me. The one that felt so elated… so overjoyed to know that she felt something for me whether it be a feeling she wasn’t quite sure about. Still. She felt something. And right now, something was better than nothing.

Plus, she thought I was pretty.

Walking into the kitchen, I could feel myself smiling. Bella Swan liked me. She didn’t say it, but I knew that’s what she meant. She liked me. She thought I was pretty. A fluttering in my stomach gave way to the emptiness it had been feeling for so long, and for the first time in a long time there was a new emotion taking over me.

Hope.

And that’s what this fic was about since the beginning. Hope.

The final chapter was posted in July of 2011, and Twihart21 hasn’t published anything new on FFnet since then. I have no idea what happened in her RL or where she’s at, but I’d love to thank her for her words. While I’d still really like to read the epilogue, What If ends at a satisfying place. If you’ve skipped over this story because it’s not marked complete, you should give it a try. If you love the idea of time travel and parallel lives, you should definitely check it out.

Adore, Adore by ooza

*Made by ooza*

Adore, Adore ~ Bella is in a bit of a financial pinch. Can one night with Edward solve all her problems? “What do you want to do to me?” she asked. “Everything.” One-shot written for SFFR, now expanded! BxE, AH, Rated MA for dirty citrus

Rated: Fiction M - English – Bella & Edward – Chapters: 6 – Words: 37,973 – Reviews: 1,749 - Favs: 2,857 – Follows: 4,149 - Updated: 10-13-12 – Published: 01-19-11 – id: 6667983

Summary: Bella is in a bit of a financial pinch. Can one night with Edward solve all her problems? “What do you want to do to me?” she asked. “Everything.”

When we meet Bella, we learn she’s a struggling waitress who just can’t seem to make ends meet. She’s in a pitfall of financial woes with no end in sight.

Enter Edward.

He’s recently taken over the financial responsibilities for the building Bella lives in. This translates to collecting the rent. He sets out to track down Bella, one of his most delinquent residents, but things take an interesting turn when he offers her an alternate solution to clear her debt.

“Look, I don’t want to evict you, okay?”

“So don’t.”

He ran his hand down his face and sighed again. His eyes scanned my apartment, finally settling on the large stack of mail on the table. “Bills?”

“That’s none of your business.”

“Ooh, feisty. I like it.”

I scoffed loudly.

“Bella—”

“Miss Swan,” I corrected through my teeth.

“Miss Swan.” Edward smirked. “Would you be open to coming to an . . . alternate agreement?”

“Like what, a payment plan? It’s not necessary. I’ll give you the money when I get it. I promise.”

“No, not like a payment plan.”

No, not like a payment plan. Edward has something a little more…physical in mind.  When he shares his idea, Bella immediately rejects his offer. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, Bella’s mediocre paycheck won’t cover her rent and she realizes she’s out of options. After a tense phone conversation with Edward, Bella agrees to his terms: sex for rent.

When she shows up at his apartment, Edward takes complete control. At first she’s hesitant, but Edward’s confidence and cocky attitude quickly break her resolve.

I whimpered in frustration as he removed his fingers. He dragged them higher, grazing the sensitive skin between my cheeks. I inhaled sharply as he applied more pressure and began caressing the area.

“What are you doing?” I choked out.

“You know what I’m doing,” Edward teased, applying more pressure. “Are you going to tell me no again?”

“No.”

Never has a sweeter word been spoken. Because when Bella lets go, the readers are swept away by a tidal wave of lust and left in a puddle of goo. But contrary to what Ooza says, this story isn’t just about smut. She’s created two very complex characters who will send you on an emotional rollercoaster.

Bella struggles to come to terms with what she did but can’t deny how much it helped her financial situation. When rent comes due the following month, Edward offers her the same deal. And even though Bella has the money to cover it, she finds herself accepting. Thus begins their arrangement and subsequently where things get tricky.

Edward is a conundrum. In a relationship that’s supposed to be based purely on sex, he blurs the line time and time again. And his hot and cold behavior leaves Bella’s head spinning.

“You should stay.” His voice was authoritative and didn’t leave much room for argument. I really wasn’t in the mood.

“Look, Edward,” I said sternly. “I’m a big girl, okay? I understand the nature of our . . . arrangement. We’re adults. It’s just sex.” I glanced around the room for my clothes before remembering they were in the entryway. I didn’t want to look for my underwear; he could add them to his collection. “I don’t need to spend the night or cuddle with you to be okay with that.” I turned toward the door, but his next words stopped me in my tracks.

“Maybe I do.”

I looked at him, trying to figure out if he was just trying to manipulate me to get his way, but I could see nothing other than sincerity in his eyes.

“It would make me feel better if you spent the night. Please,” he added quietly.

Apparently my inability to deny him extended beyond sex, because I found myself walking back to the bed.

“Okay,” I agreed. “I’ll stay.”

And then you think, oh wow, he has feelings for her. It makes you smile and feel all warm and fuzzy. That is, until he does something like this:

As I reached the sixth floor, I heard Edward’s low murmuring. I smiled, glad he was home and that I’d get to see him. My excitement came to an abrupt end when his voice was followed by a feminine laugh. I turned the corner, coming face to face with Edward and a very tall, very beautiful woman with silver blonde hair.

I froze. Edward’s eyes widened as he looked at me with an expression that could only be described as panic.

“Hello,” the woman said pleasantly. She smiled, showing off unnaturally white teeth. Her voice seemed to pull Edward from his trance.

“Miss Swan,” he said formally. “What a surprise to see you. Is there a problem with your apartment?”

His words slammed into me with the force of a freight train. I stood there, holding his Tupperware to my chest like an idiot, shocked and unable to come up with a proper response.

So this was how I rated. He could fuck me, he could call me his friend, but the minute he had a hot date, I was nothing but a tenant.

“No,” I answered dumbly.

“Excellent.” Edward wrapped his fingers around the woman’s arm and gently tugged her toward the elevators. “Have a nice evening,” he called over his shoulder.

Ouch. Jerk. Or is he?

Edward has a story. That much is obvious. But since we’re experiencing Bella’s POV, we’re left guessing. It’s one of the many things that make this story so addictive. One minute he’s abrasive and blunt. The next he’s sweet and caring. There’s one thing about him that never changes though: he’s hot as fuck in the bedroom.

The lemons? Oh, my God, the lemons. Hats off to Ooza for some of the hottest sex scenes ever written. But is that enough to make up for his bullshit? I’ve found myself on more than one occasion screaming, “What is his deal?!” And better yet, will Bella bother sticking around to find out? Will he give her a choice?

Edward pressed me against the wall, pinning me with his hands and his body. “You agreed to be mine, remember? Mine.”

Oh…my.

As the story develops and the layers are peeled away you can’t help but fall in love with both characters. When they laugh, you’ll laugh. And when they hurt…so will you. Adore, Adore is an excellent story that is well written and contains all the pieces to make for one hell of an exciting journey. If you’re not already reading Adore, Adore, you’re only cheating yourself. Go! Now!

Review by Midnight Cougar

Carnelian and Ice by Raum

*made by Raum*

Carnelian and Ice: ”A man struggling to escape from the darkness, and a woman who thinks she doesn’t deserve the light. How will an ice sculpture affect their lives?” AU with vampires.

Twilight – Rated: M – English – Romance/Hurt/Comfort – Chapters: 6 – Words: 10,366 – Reviews: 252 – Updated: 11-12-12 – Published: 10-8-12 – Bella & Edward

Carnelian and Ice is written by the talented author Raum; it flows beautifully and is a true pleasure to read. I sat down one evening recently and read all six engaging chapters in one sitting. The story is told in third person narrative and is full of elegant descriptions and vivid imagery. While the chapters are not long in length, they certainly fulfill the reader’s need for a lovely written word, and captivating Vampella story!

Raum’s gives us some insight into the creation of Carnelian and Ice:

“Carnelian and Ice” had three main sources of inspiration:

1) I wanted to write a story as a gift for my friend, prereader and fellow author Camilla10 — the first who encouraged me to write. I wouldn’t have written even my first one-shot without her enthusiasm and support. Since she’s read almost everything featuring vamps in the Twilight fandom, I wanted to work on an unusual twist. So, this time Bella is the vamp and Edward is the human.

2) When I met SatinCoveredSteel, through the reviews she left for one of my stories, we began to talk about her country. She’s from Alaska and began to send me pictures and stories about her country — she loves it very much. When she sent me some pics of the ice sculptures, I thought they deserved to be featured in a story. SatinCoveredSteel is extraordinary; she’s held my hand in every step of this story — for the first time, I was writing about a country I hadn’t visited.

3) The main theme of “Carnelian and Ice” is redemption. Both Edward and Bella deserve to be loved, and they need to understand that, despite their nature (Bella) or some of their choices (Edward), they aren’t monsters. Redemption is a recurring theme in my stories, because it’s what amazed me when I read the Twilight saga for the first time.

Isabella Swan as a vampire in this story carries numerous traditional, canon Twilight characteristics. She feeds only on animals, but is enticed by human blood – even tastes it; she struggles with her existence as a “monster” and, like canon Edward, Bella feels “she knows she doesn’t have a soul anymore”; as well, she is fast, strong, fierce, controlled and beautiful… A true vampire in our Twi-eyes!

Carnelian and Ice’s Bella is all those things I’ve mentioned, and more, including extremely creative and talented. The story is set in Fairbanks, Alaska during the World Ice Art Championship, where Bella is “I.S. Carnelian…a resident of Alaska and a self-taught artist” who creates her own inspiring and self-expression ice sculpture…

From her hidden spot nearby, she wonders if any of the visitors have noticed the words she’s engraved on the ice, or thought about the meaning of her creation.

This is the first time she has shown a piece of her art in public, although she’s using a pseudonym and never interacts with the visitors or the staff of the World Ice Art Championships. The idea of an ice sculpture fascinated her, because she considers herself like a block of ice that retains only the appearance of the human she was.

Preparing her entry for the competition proved to be challenging, because she had to master her strength and carve the ice block as slowly as she could to avoid raising suspicions. She wanted to stay hidden, so she wore – and still wears – a heavy winter jacket matched with gloves, hat, and a thick scarf; she’s so bundled up that she could pose as a lean man.

The result is the sculpture in three parts the visitors are looking at.

Layers of flames represent the life she lost in her change. They’re so finely shaped that they seem made of crystal. When the carvings are lit up in the evening, the red and orange hues she’s chosen for the theatrical lights make the fire come to life. On the base of the flames, she’s engraved quotes from the poems she loved as a human. Most of them are love verses, representing the love she dreamed of finding, which is now unattainable.

The second part of the sculpture creates a strong contrast with the fire. The ice is shaped in broken columns, like huge splinters of glass surrounded by the flames. It represents the way she emerged from her transformation – frozen, invulnerable, inaccessible. An inhuman creature. A vampire.

The third element is the one that tells more about her life, and at the same time, it’s the most mysterious. A broken chain links the flames and the columns. Small protuberances hang from the links of the chain, as if dewdrops had frozen there. Actually, she’d had blood drops in mind, with the chain being the symbol of her bloodlust—the chain which keeps her a prisoner of the monster she’s become.

In the evening, a white beam enhances the top of the ice columns, as if they are pointing to a distant light. It’s a far cry from the version of the sculpture the artist had imagined at first. In her previous version, the chain wasn’t broken. As long as she was thinking about the blood she’d taken, she believed that the light was unachievable. But then she tried to see beyond the disgust for the inhuman creature she was. She considered the years she had spent never killing a human, and always taking as little nourishment as possible from the animals on which she fed. On a whim, she broke the chain and picked the title for her sculpture:

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Bella still knows that light and darkness will always fight in her neverending life. But for once she doesn’t want to believe that the light never stands a chance.

There were so many wonderful passages I could have chosen to share with you when writing this review, because honestly, I’ve enjoyed every word so far as Bella meets Edward and they discover each others different and complex worlds. This story revolves around Bella, but entwines with Edward, and is about sin, forgiveness and acceptance, and we’ve already seen a touching glimpse of that in chapter 6…

He [Edward] holds out a hand toward her, waiting for her to initiate contact. After a few seconds, Bella wraps her fingers around his. Edward takes a small step closer, opening his arms, and she can feel his warmth radiating from his body in welcoming waves. Before her concerns for his safety can stop her, she leans into his embrace. She trembles as he pulls her frame against his chest, close to his heart. He rests his chin on top of her head and brushes her hair – his touch so gentle and comforting that, if she were still human, Bella would abandon herself to the relief of a cry. But she’s no longer human, and the tears will never come.

“I’ve wanted to hug you since I saw you on the bridge,” he whispers. “Now tell me: what sorrow is devouring you?”

Carnelian and Ice is a WIP that updates every Monday, and with each review, you receive in return a sweet note from Raum, and a poem that coincides with the story, from some of the most amazing literary poets – some of my favourites! Please enjoy!

Also fabulous images and poetry on Raum’s blog, which are a must view as you read Carnelian and Ice: http://myreadinglounge.blogspot.ie/

Review by AllyVera

Stealing Edward’s Innocence by Robshandmonkey

Summary: Isabella Swan is a highly gifted, facetious 150 year-old Vampire, who doesn’t play well with others.

Edward is a typical teenager on the cusp of turning seventeen.

The perfect age when a human male is in the prime of his life, in health, and stamina. He is driven by his hormones and the desire to experience everything. 

Their journey in life is about to be altered when Bella crosses his path, and like a monster lurking in the darkness of night, she steals him out of bed, driven by her lust for his sweet blood, and her selfish desire to own him.

However, Edward was born with primal instinct’s that have only been reinforced by his upbringing and furthered along by his own testosterone driven desires.

He believes his destiny is to teach every man how to possess their woman and have them bending to their will.

Suddenly everything just got complicated and so the battle begins when Bella thinks she can steal Edward’s innocence.

No one can write a story quite like Robshandmonkey.  True fact.  I have been a huge fan of hers ever since I discovered the wonderful Edward’s Eternal Kiss.  RHM’s stories are so entertaining, not to mention hotter than Hades, and if you like Vampire stories with a little twist (or bite as the case may be) you will love Stealing Edward’s Innocence.

With a delicious twist on canon we find Bella, a 150 year old vampire, who has discovered her Singer in the gorgeous 16-year-old Edward.  We watch as she struggles with her fight between her blood lust and…her lust.

Currently Stealing Edward’s Innocence is only 10 chapters in, but what fun is had in these 10 chapters! We have a kidnapping, a 16-year-old boy who knows way more than he actually should, and Jasper, who seems hell-bent on ruining all Bella’s plans…  You will love Edward in this one, he is so sexy, with an innate sexual magnetism that he was born with – it is no wonder Bella is breaking quite a few rules to be with him! Enjoy!

A little “taste” of Chapter One…

“The smile that genuinely graces my lips spreads slowly.

Jasper’s here.

But it isn’t Jasper that has me smiling.

Or gushing.

It’s the beautiful one next to him.

The human.

The sixteen-year old virgin human whose hair looks like it’s a blaze of wild flames on fire. My eyes drop down to his throat. The pulse is steady, a little raised but steady. That blue vein throbs with each pump and so do I.

I pull out my deep purple/black lip gloss out of my little pocket in the front of my skirt, swipe it over my lips. It may reek but I can tolerate it. It smells like strawberries.

The human likes strawberries.

I can do strawberries.

He is dressed to kill and he doesn’t even know it. Black pants, suspenders hanging on his hips, green and black tiny checked shirt. His eyes gleam like the moss in the forest where we make our kills and that shirt brings out the green even more.  

He is every bit as broody as he always is. A week of surveillance has shown me that. I stand and watch them for a moment. He glances around, both hands in his pockets, shoulders slumped, pink cheeks, pouty pink bottom lip that I have to say makes my girly parts tingle.

“Are you sure she is here?” His voice is like the sweetest O negative blood, warm and thick and my mind goes to dirty things I want him to say to me with it. Just like that…I gush.

Jasper looks over at the dance floor and sees the frozen mousy girl, his eyes move over to the bartender and he smirks.

“Trust me she is here.” He chuckles and looks around and then he locks eyes with me.

“And there she is.” Jasper’s voice breathes out a sexy sigh.

The tall one next to him follows his eyes and that is when he sees me for the first time.

I found him. I finally fucking found him and he is all fucking mine.”

Robshandmonkey shared a bit about her Edward and his relationship with Vampella in this story:

“… you may think Edward is the weaker one in Stealing Edwards Innocence, he really isn’t, just because he is human.  I didn’t want this story to be anything like the others I have written where they try to dominate one another. I wanted them to discover that it is their love that dominates them. I admit though Edward dominates me and my mind on a daily basis!”

Bella Voce by Morgan Locklear

*banner made by Tkegl*

Bella Voce: Paris 1891: Bella is a popular stage vocalist and theatre owner. She’s also a very powerful vampire. Edward is a piano teacher who attends one of her performances and captures her attention. Together they explore the Bohemian Revolution and each other.

Rated: Fiction M – English – Romance/Supernatural – Bella & Edward – Chapters: 32 – Words: 219,691 – Reviews: 2,014 – Favs: 824 – Follows: 510 – Updated: 06-24-12 – Published: 02-14-10 – Status: Complete – id: 5747816

Bella is an amazing creature: a gravity defying 350-year-old vampire nun brought to us from the evocative pen of a male author.  Now that is a sentence I never expect to write LOL.

New readers of this luscious story have images of Bel Ami to draw from or you can immerse yourself in this magical world and read from Morgan’s blog for the complete experience.  Yes, I said experience for that is what you get as the Bella Voce and Brutte Parole represent a half million words, twelve songs, a ten page poem, and many charming images.

While this beguiling Bella and her bewitched beau Edward are the main characters, this beautifully written story also has the most unusual yet believable pairing I have ever read in Twilight fanfiction. I’ll let you discover whom for yourselves.

Prologue:

The well dressed audience waited silently for the curtain to open. The auditorium had been recently remodeled and everything shimmered with newness and richness. Deep tones of blue were offset with creams and gold. The waiting crowd had all purchased their tickets well in advance and now many of the men were impatiently checking their pocket watches to see if it was time.

It was.

At the stroke of midnight the sapphire curtain parted smoothly and the room was filled with the sound of applause as a petite young woman walked out. Miss Bella Swan glided across the stage wearing an elegant blood red evening gown that dusted the floor behind her and wrapped her small frame in a wreath of scarlet. Her pale face looked like an innocent white bud in the middle of a dangerous red flower. A simple silver locket was the only jewelry she wore and long white gloves cradled her delicate hands. Dark brown curls rested against her naked back.

When silence once again claimed the hall Miss Swan began to sing. In truth, what she did was far too beautiful and haunting to be described by a word as pedestrian as ‘sing’ however there has not yet been a word invented to adequately tribute the breathtaking aria she performed. Her Italian was flawless; her phrasing brilliant and her voice was magical.

The whole of the audience was deeply moved, but none more so than a bashful and beautiful young man who sat close to the stage. He marveled up at the breathtaking woman and twisted the playbill nervously in his hand until his sister snatched it from him with a hiss. He barely noticed. His heart pounded in his chest and his stomach was an unforgiving tangle of gears and knots.

He wasn’t just in love, he was reborn. Before the first song was over he had decided that hers was the most heavenly voice he had ever heard and he inadvertently captured her attention when he whispered, “Bella Voce.”

*Brutte Parole by Morgan Locklear - sequel to Bella Voce*

New York 1892: Bella and her fiancé, Edward, move to America only to discover that the city they chose as their new home is governed by someone from her past. He needs Bella’s help and he won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Sequel to Bella Voce.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6613444/1/Brutte-Parole

The author shared this about the writing of the story:

As a man, I like weapons and action, so there is plenty of that but my wife (and beta) instructed me to include love scenes because my take on a lemon would be of great interest.  She was right but I was nervous.  My first few rendezvous went well but since the story takes place in the 1890′s, I wanted the language to match the age.  Therefore the lemons are tableaus and pure poetic than graphic.

“Pure poetic” sigh!

The soundtrack is called Bella Parole. It’s a convenient combination of Bella Voce (Beautiful Voice) and Brutte Parole (Ugly Words).  Morgan includes songs featuring Betti Gefecht.

About Last Night by Dawning Juliet

*made by Dawning Juliet*

About Last Night: Edward had a good life, and he thought he had it all figured out. But then a certain vampire crosses his path and, suddenly, everything changes. Sometimes, you just can’t fight fate.

Rated: Fiction M – English – Romance/Adventure – Bella & Edward – Chapters: 11 – Words: 48,524 – Reviews: 353 – Favs: 243 – Follows: 385 – Updated: 10-30-12 – Published: 05-06-12 – id: 8091619

This story sucked me in, pardon the pun, with its intriguing prologue and the tone and pace never let up from there.

Prologue

Since you are reading this story, you’re probably automatically assuming that I’m alive. It would be a hasty conclusion. I don’t necessarily have to be living to tell my tale; there are other means.

I was a regular guy, doing regular things, enjoying all the promise of being twenty-one years old. I had great friends, a loving girlfriend, and an amazing family. Life was good. But then…

Then, I saw her. And, in that moment, I knew. Nothing would ever be the same again.

My name is Edward A. M. Cullen. This is my story.

As Edward said, he was a regular guy until he saw her.  The her who turned his perfectly normal life upside down and inside out, is none other than the beautiful and enchanting Bella Cullen.  This lovely Edward has no idea how long she has waited for him LOL.

There are some quirky role reversals and some canon elements woven seamlessly into this clever story.  The characters are refreshing yet feel familiar and are easy to love.  About Last Night has that undeniable bond between Edward and Bella that warms my heart; that amazing acceptance that although the one you love is not human, you want them anyway.  Oh, I have to mention that Alice, Bella’s sister is a hoot – if you have a strong stomach then close your eyes and visualise Jasper in tights!

I asked Dawning Juliet to tell us about her inspiration:

Ever since I read Twilight for the first time, I couldn’t help imagining, “what if Bella weren’t so helpless?” From there, the idea of the role reversal grew and took shape. I wanted to write a story with a human Edward/vampire Bella because this set up is in direct conflict of our generally accepted idea that men are stronger, the protectors, and women are fragile. It’s easy for us to accept that extrapolation into vampire/human relationship, but in my story, Edward is the “fragile” one, the one who needs protecting. I’m finding this conflicting reality fascinating to write. On top of Edward having to cope with everything he finds out about the vampire world, and what it means to him in terms of being with Bella, he also has to come to terms with the issues that arise from not being in the driver seat merely because he’s a human and unequipped to handle the circumstances they find themselves in. Bella has to be the one to take point, but this is a situation that most men are not all too comfortable with.

The Family Business by SuzsPetals

*made by SuzsPetals*

The Family Business: Edward Cullen met the girl of his dreams but pushed her away due to his complicated, dangerous family life. When cruel irony reunites them, he’s forced to make a devastating choice: Save her from a fate worse than death or from the family business. AU

Rated: Fiction M – English – Supernatural/Romance – Edward & Bella – Chapters: 31 – Words: 152,068 – Reviews: 1,133 – Favs: 1,026 – Follows: 540 – Updated: 11-04-10 – Published: 02-06-10 – Status: Complete – id: 5722140

I love how all of these Vampella fics have their own unique twist.  The twist is The Family Business is unparalleled and ironic, perhaps even a little sad.  Our extremely absorbing Edward works in the Cullen Family Business.  What is unique about that you ask?  Those wooden stakes in the banner above might give to a hint as to the nature of the business – Edward is a Vampire Hunter!

Slayerward is a Vampire Hunter with a sense of humour, but it was his sense of what is right that made him do a ‘New Moon’ and walk away from the perfect girl for him.  Neither of them could ever have imagined the circumstances under which they would meet again, or how far they would be willing to go in the name of love.  Read this intriguing and romantic tale to find out.

I adjusted my grip on the stake, checked the accessibility of the flame- thrower on the floor by my left foot, and raised the light to reveal the face on the floor below me.

A tangle of long, dark brown hair fanned around her head, which faced away from the door, into the shadows. Her back was still off the floor and her chest heaved in short, shallow pants as she convulsed. I tensed instinctively and grimaced when I saw the single rivulet of blood running from her neck and disappearing into the cleavage of her pale blue T-shirt.

The bowling alley would apparently have to wait.

The right side of her neck, just under the delicate jaw line, was ragged and covered in blood where some asshole had taken a deep bite before leaving her in a closet to turn into a monster. It was apparently early on like the other newborn Emmett and I had handled, so she wasn’t much of a danger to me yet. I could still wrap this up by myself; stake her to the floor and torch her before she even realized what was going on. From what I’ve seen over the years, they’re suffering so much at this stage of transformation that they don’t give a shit what you do to them. The venom burns from the inside out and is obviously excruciating for a good two days.

I was admittedly surprised she writhed in relative silence. An occasional whimper was the only sound she made, rather than the agonized screams I was used to from a vamp in the making. Well, good. Last thing I wanted was that kind of noise reverberating around a small, enclosed space.

Determined, I held the light steady and raised the twelve-inch long titanium stake. It wouldn’t kill her, but I wasn’t sure how much strength she had yet and it would hold her down long enough for me to grab the canister of fuel, squeeze the handle and reduce her to a tidy pile of ash.

I focused on the slight dip between her breasts where the trail of blood disappeared and where the heart was already forgetting how to pump life through her body for much longer. Taking a deep breath, I prepared to impale the suffering girl to the floor. Just as I put all of my strength into the thrust, she jerked her head towards me and her eyes shot open. The deep brown of her irises were just beginning to develop a red halo around the edges. The heavy stake slid like water through my hand and glanced off of her ribs before clanging loudly on the cement floor. The beam of light wobbled on her face as my hand shook erratically, and I stared at those eyes.

I whispered dully to anyone at all who may have been listening.

“Fuck. My. Life.”

I asked Suzspetals about the background to the story:

Writing The Family Business was one of the best experiences I’ve had – both as a writer and as part of what I call my Twilight journey. I loved reading all the great talent upon discovering fan fiction and had no intention of writing anything myself… until a glimmer of an idea sparked. I was a huge Buffy fan and thought a twist in the canon would be delicious to play with. The final scene in chapter 30 of TFB was always clear in my mind but the middle changed and flowed as I went along. Some of my goals for the characters were to make Bella stronger and more dimensional and to make Jacob more likeable. Edward just writes himself.

Guarding Edward by katmom

*made by katmom*

Guarding Edward: A stalker is trying to get close to 24 y/o HUMAN Edward Masen, a concert pianist. He hires Elite Guardians to keep him safe and to find out who is hunting him. Bella Cullen is the owner/operator of the company AND she’s a 110 y/o VAMPIRE. AU/Canon couples

Rated: Fiction T – English – Romance/Humor – Edward & Bella – Chapters: 50 – Words: 215,280 – Reviews: 2,609 – Favs: 1,556 – Follows: 700 – Updated: 08-23-10 – Published: 01-28-09 – Status: Complete – id: 4823993

Guarding Edward by katmom, is a multi-award winning and popular fic. It is marked as romance and humour and while it ticks those boxes, it is much more. I find it remarkable that this fic is T rated and it keeps you so interested in the plot that you don’t actually notice the lack of fruit of the citrus variety. I cannot be the only one to feel that way as Guarding Edward has over 2,600 reviews.

Bella’s agency is hired to protect Edward but soon this becomes more than a simple monetary transaction.  Why?  Edward may be a Pianist but he is also Bella’s Singer!  Once again this fic has that pull between Edward and Bella that I love; their connection is on a level that cannot be denied.  The romance is set against a backdrop of mysterious and dangerous business, and there is an array of well-written secondary characters to make it even more interesting.

“This is Bella Cullen. She’s the President of Elite Guardians.” Edward took a step closer to me and held out his hand. Emmett had casually moved back beside me.

As I approached Edward with my hand out, I had to tip my head back to look into his face. He WAS tall. I took another deep breath and slipped my hand into his. I didn’t know if it was because his hand was so warm and mine so very cool, but it was almost as if a static charge had passed between us. His eyes were still staring into mine, and again, that look of recognition was on his face.

As strong as the scent had been on his shirt, it was nothing like it was now, with him right before me. This time, the warm linen smell was at the fore. But as he held my hand in his for a few moments longer, I could almost see the musk tones starting to overshadow it.

I asked katmom about her inspiration for this fic and she told me she had heard Rob say once that the fans were great, except for the scary ones.  And he had some worries about some deranged fan coming at him with a syringe of SOMETHING.  That got the creative juices flowing.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4823993/1/Guarding-Edward

In case any of you are wondering if katmom can write lemons, the answer is YES.  She also wrote Immersion.  It’s a very short quirky high-school fic and I just had to squeeze it in for you – again no pun intended.  Geekward and Vampella fall in love at first sniff!

*banner by katmom*

Immersion: interest in something that occupies all the time & energy available. Bella, the new girl/vamp at Forks HS, smells something wonderful. Edward, a sweet geek, smells something great too. What if vampires imprinted/mated according to scent? AU

Have a lovely week, and Happy BREAKING DAWN – PART 2! *reviews welcome*

Midnight Cougar

Wandering…Lips, BD style!

I promised you guys a couple of weeks back some Wandering Breaking Dawn lips. And what a better week to do it than now when so many of you are getting your own copies of the DVD!! (Sorry Germany, but the 29th will be here before you know it!) So grab your shamanties, get your lips ready and have a cold drink nearby….we’re going in!!!

Let’s start with this handsome guy jumping into your bedroom window the night before the wedding.

Next we have the longest, most inappropriate wedding kiss ever. But who could blame the girl? I wouldn’t want to stop kissing him either!

Holy HALE!!! If this is just the wedding I don’t know if I’ll survive the honeymoon!!! Those luscious lips…GAH.

Our next stop is Lapa. Instead of dancing in the streets, I think kissing is much better!

Who’s ready for a swim? Don’t take too long, ladies!

*Wet & Wild baby!* UNF!

I think we’re all um, prepared for the Honeymoon now. Don’t you agree? Hope you all make it

I think we need a little bit of a cool down to help us acclimate to the real world.

  

Oh sorry! I said a cool down, didn’t I? Well how about a really sad but romantic kiss. Don’t worry, I’ll  follow up with something steamy!

No words

And a special treat for you…Breaking Dawn 2 kissing!

I almost think this is better than watching the movie. All our favorite parts are right here! Okay, maybe not. But these are pretty darn inspiring!

WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM WITH A NEWS FLASH!

BEL AMI HAS A US RELEASE DATE! Mark your calendars, ladies. June 8th 2012. Let’s just hope this is the same for our Canadian sisters as well!

I'm ready to curl up with this!

robsfuturemate

Thank you MidNight Cougar and tumblr for all the steamy gifs!!

Wandering…through The Hillywood Show

Well ladies, there are only a few more days until we get to have Edward in our very own bedrooms. And this time he is not holding back!  I thought in order to prepare us for that we should have a Twi marathon. But that would take way to long and I don’t know how to post whole movies anyways. So what’s the next best thing? The Hillywood Twilight Saga Parodies of course! I actually really like them, even if they get songs stuck in my head. And the new Breaking Dawn Part 1 is no exception. But I do have to say this new Edward creeps me out a tad. So grab some popcorn, an extra-large soda, sit back and enjoy the show!

(Okay, if you’ve never seen these let me just say…they get better! Trust me)

I love how they incorporated the photo shoots in that one! But now it’s time to say good-bye to my 2nd favorite Edward. I’m trying to prepare you!

Well, what did you think? I know it’s not as good as the original but it’s pretty clever!

So who’s going to get their Breaking Dawn DVDs at midnight on Friday? What edition floats your boat and why? Anyone else having a BD party like me? Yep, we’re having mimosas for our BD: Breakfast for Dinner Party Share all your BD thoughts in the comments.

Tonguing It Tuesday Robporn – Sexy Sensuous Suit Edition

WooHoo! I have a treat for you this week RA lovelies! Melbie Toast is joining me as my co-host and we all know what a Robporn Specialist she is in our Rob World!

This week’s post “Sexy Sensuous Suit Edition” was inspired by Melbie when she tagged me on Facebook in this edit of hers…

Melbie said, "Twilight Premiere 2008 vs. Breaking Dawn Premiere 2011 - in Los Angeles... oh my when you really compare like this he has grown up so much!!! Into a very sexy fully grown manly MAN!"

Yes, I couldn’t agree more, Rob is like a fine wine…just get’s better with age! Now, why did I include the word Sensuous in today’s post title, you might ask or you might not care? Well, I was trying to think of the perfect adjective to describe Rob in a Suit…and MANY came to mind along with sexy, but “sensuous usually implies gratification of the senses for the sake of aesthetic pleasure”  and “aethetic pleasure is… how people experience beauty” and well, we all know the Beauty of “The Pretty” and what he does sensuously to us woman (& some men)… *sigh* *giggles* See, and who the hell said Robporn wasn’t educational?! lmao

I digress, so let’s get this Suitporn party started because I have lots of incredible pics for you courtesy of Melbie. She went through her incredible Robporn Collection to pick out some of her favourites to share with us, but first let’s read Melbie’s observations about Rob is a suit…

Although Rob looks absolutely scrumptious in his button-fly jeans (or any jeans for that matter, buy especially those button-flys), a band T-shirt ( or any T-Shirt), his beanie or ballcap —- Mr. Sex on Legs absolutely knows how to Rock a Suit right out of the park. Yes SuitWard, with his long lean just-enough-muscled body, those long long sexy legs and and arms, was made to fill out a suit perfectly…especially since Rob tends to wear his suits “tight”… thus revealing to us drooling women the perfect contours of his perfect ass… (or RobButt, if you will)…. and sometimes, yes… the “RobCrotch”… which of course causes us to not only “drool”, but fall onto the floor in a dead faint. (Just sayin’) 

Some of Rob’s earlier photos where he is Rockin’ the Suit were taken at the London or Los Angeles Premieres of Twilight back in 2008, and if you compare those photos to SuitWard Rob at the recent Breaking Dawn premieres, one can only notice that Rob is not only “filling out” nicely in his chest and shoulders as he ages, he is really now SOFA KING HOT when he wears a suit (especially a black or grey one, IMO) we not only drool at his sexy hot body, we gasp, pant, and can only manage to utter an un-intelligible string of drivel such as, “ung”, “nom nom nom”, “unf unf”…etc.  Of course, Rob not only Rocks a Suit at film premieres, when he wears a period suit in Bel Ami or Water for Elephants, or the wedding tuxedo in Breaking Dawn… he is also totally drool-gasp-faint-worthy indeed!

Oh we have so much to look forward to…. more premieres, more films, where Rob will be Rockin’ more and more suits!!

xoxo from Melbie

I never thought I’d have a hundred members Long before I considered the site done! LOL But at the time It was all I could think of cause every time I looked at Rob I smiled. Of course that’s easy to do when your always Laughing and perving. And Honestly, Who wouldn’t/couldn’t grin over this…

And well, This too…

IDEK What this face is for but it makes me giggle

It didn’t take me Long to pick up the term “Adorkable” either…

And there is Tybert. With all his inner turmoil and pain he made me smile…

But I’m not referring Only to funny pics of Rob. There are even some dramatic ones that make me smile or giggle. For instance…

And it wasn’t long before I found the Jumping Meme Rob to make me laugh!

And of Course there are manips, funny ones and Hawt ones that always bring a smile to my face…

Tonguing it Tuesday Robporn: Obsessive Cullen Disorder

Well, in honor of the last week of Breaking Dawn month, I thought we should perv over the man who got most of us started in this Robsession…Edward Cullen. For some of us we loved him as a fictional character and Rob’s portrayal took us over the edge. For others of us we met Edward on the big screen and some even  in our own living rooms. Whatever the case may be let’s honor the man himself with a little good ole fashion perving!

Starting with the moment he walked into the cafeteria

And then there was that all out cocky grin (love it!)

To the New Moon slo mo strut

And of course the moment when we see more of Edward than ever before

In Eclipse we get to see Edward’s romantic side…

and his angry side(smexy)

Which leaves us with Breaking Dawn part 1 where we see how adorable Edward looks in his tux.

And then there’s the part we all were waiting for…the honeymoon! And let me warn  you that this gif has never before been seen here at RA. So prepare yourself.

It brings a whole new meaning to the word Honeymoon, doesn’t it?!  So if you’re still alive after viewing that a couple (hundred) more times, show us your favorite Edward porn! And it doesn’t have to be real fake porn like this!

RFM’s Most Excellent Adventure

Hello my lovelies! I’m back and boy do I have a story for you! I hope that you have all been enjoying the down pour of Rob goodness and that this post just adds another element to the pics and videos you all have been perving on. I just want to tell you that this is by no means meant to be taken as bragging. I know how lucky I’ve been lately but it’s because I am out there DOING. I’ve finally taken the big step and started doing whatever it takes to see thePretty in person! And, I also want to say that you SHOULD go to the BD2 premiere next year. I don’t think you would regret it. Even though there will be some downs, the ups are SO worth it!!  Oh, and this has way more Twilight than Rob and it’s gonna be long, so be prepared. So, let’s start with the story…

Erik Odom, aka Peter

This adventure started last Tuesday with a drive to Los Angeles. (We’re not gonna discuss how I got lost and was driving around LA by myself) Well, I made it in time to see three-quarters of New Moon. Yep, right after Edward left. But it was fun seeing it again in the theater. Afterward, Maggie and I met Erik Odom who plays Peter in BD2. We had a nice little convo about the contacts. He didn’t think they were that bad. Did you know they had to spritz their eyes with water throughout the day to keep them from drying out? Learn something new everyday! We also met Jack Morrisey that night but didn’t really talk with him.

The next night, Wednesday, was pure torture. We stayed up all night trying to figure out where to go for the unofficial line. Everyone was tweeting, facebooking, and texting. We made some friends that night and almost got bombarded by an angry mob. When we finally confirmed the right location we were told to split into our groups and stay still. Then security came around and “randomly” picked who would get their wristband first. Tension was high, emotions even higher. We had no idea what the criteria for picking was and were so thankful when we got picked. We walked quietly and with our heads down, so as not to upset the people left. (I did try to peek for my friends but it was so hard to find them) Then we waited for hours to get our wristbands and campsite. Some that were there at the same time as us originally waited over 12 hours!! So hard to watch.

Kiowa Gordon, aka Embry

That afternoon I had the distinct pleasure of having lunch with Jackie Zane, Lucinda from WFE. She had some wonderful Rob stories. Basically things we already know, like how kind and funny he is! I found out that Rob likes to drink wine! Who knew?! Later that evening we watched Twilight on the jumbo tron outside. There was a whole lot of screaming going on! After my “nap” Maggie and I ran into Kiowa Gordon from the Wolfpack. He wanted to surprise the campers by waking them up with music. That idea was vetoed and he sang for a small group outside Tent City. It was a hard night of sleep that night. Nokia has lights and sounds that go on until 2 am every day. Eye masks and ear plugs are a MUST!!

The next day was a fun day of milling around and meeting people. Everyone just trying to relax. I met Tink from Robsessed and got my Cosmopolis button! (I think I kind of fangirled inside) Tink is a sweetheart and had a cute little city of cardboard Robwards to keep her company. That night we watched New Moon and yes, more screaming ensued. The comments from the peanut gallery were funny bordering on obnoxious. We had a surprise visitor after the movie, Kellan Lutz! Unfortunately security wasn’t really prepared for him and there was a bit of mass chaos. I was pressed up against the barricade with people yelling and screaming. I waited patiently and was so disappointed when Kellan skipped our section. Trying another area for a pic only resulted in pics of Kellan’s ears and being pushed into following Kellan around. Luckily we made it out of there and my friend, who’s seen him numerous times, got a hug with him. Aww, sweet!

Stephenie bringing us signed BD books!

The following morning we had another surprise. Stephenie Meyer came and brought us all signed copies of Breaking Dawn! She handed them out individually and took pics with us. We told her how much we appreciated her stories and that because of her we were able to make so many friends from all over the world. She was so sweet! Can you believe she signed at least 1000 books for us!

There were so many things to keep us occupied during the time we were camping. They set up a TwiFi lounge where you could take pics with Cardboard BDward. And if you were courageous enough, you could wear a wedding dress while doing it!! They had little contests throughout the week and gave away shirts and pj pants. That afternoon we had our own concert of artists off the BD soundtrack. They were amazing! Charlie Bewley (Demetri) hosted the event and he was hilarious! Not surprising, he is a  Brit boy after all! He even had Cardboard BDward do a dive into the audience, after he tossed him around a bit that is. After that we watched, you guessed it, Eclipse. Well ironically, I only watched the tent scene. After spending most of the movie cleaning my tent from all the rain.

Mr. Edward Pencil hands

The next morning we had breakfast brought to us by the cast. Or more like the cast visiting us while Corner Bakery gave us some yummy muffins and such. The cast members consisted of Peter Facinelli, Jackson  Rathbone, BooBoo Stewart, MyAnna Burning (Tanya), and Casey LaBow( Kate). I didn’t get pics with Peter or Jackson but had a fun convo with both. We told Jackson that we were Monkey Junkies. He said, “Thanks, but you should really see a doctor for that.”  And then, being the teacher I am, I commented on Peter’s pencil grip (he signs with both his fist and his fingers depending on the color sharpie). Peter said that he was “Edward Pencilhands”. Clever man!

I fangirled again that day when I met Moon and UC from Letters to Rob. They were my first blog experience and if it wasn’t for them posting my “letters to Rob” I would not be here writing to you today. Thanks girls!! They are also super sweet but somehow got me to help them with a Trivia Game on Yahoo movies. Luckily, I won my portion of the game so it wasn’t too first hand embarrassing! I quickly ran outside after that to take a pic with Melissa Rosenberg, Twilight screenwriter. So cool! That night we could stay in our hotels, so Maggie and I hit the LTT/LTR party with Moon and UC. It was so awesome to meet people who you’ve been “talking” to you for years but never met!! And the sangria wasn’t that shabby either

And now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The black carpet event!!! We saw so many great looking celebrities and was able to take a few pics of them. Many of the fans wanted pics and autographs with everyone but I kept my eye on the prize. There was only one thing I wanted from this event, and it was either a pic with Rob or his autograph. When I saw him arrive it looked like he was only doing autographs, so I grabbed my LTR notebook. (the whole RA banner is a fiasco that I am perfecting for my next adventure ) Then the girls behind me tell me no, he’s taking pictures too. Well, I found a little niche in the front row and hauled myself up on the barricade. Luckily, there was a tiny bit of space and my friend was next to me. When Rob came by I was trying to snap pics and enjoy the moment. I stood there holding my notebook and making sure Dean was okay with where it was. Rob signed my book and took pics with the girls on either side of me. I stood there watching the whole thing for a second or two before I snapped out of it!

Rob was gorgeous. When I asked him for a picture he said, “Yeah, sure.” But I was fumbling around with my camera and he asked if he should take the picture. I said, “yes, please.” No flash went off so he asked if I got it, and while I was checking he moved onto the next girl. I looked down to see only a blurry Me in the picture! (I knew asking Rob to hold the camera was a bad idea) I think I then may have yelled at him a bit, hope nobody got that on film. I told him he only got me and he said, “Oh, sh*t. Let’s do another one. Do you want me to take it?” “No, I hold it, ” I told him.  I thanked him and he moved on. He took multiple pictures for other people who’s didn’t turn out. Super nice!

This whole experience was amazing! There is no other place where you could experience all of this in just a few days. And although meeting Rob was the icing on the cake; meeting new friends, old friends whom you email with, and bloggers you admire was the best thing about this adventure. I have met women whom I hope will become lifelong friends. The premiere was crazy but being sore and having bruises all over is worth it. Kind of like how Bella feels after her first time with Edward, well maybe not that kind of sore.

Hope you all enjoyed this and I wish that every one of you could have your own Rob moment!!
