Lazy Sunday Fic Recs Galore!

There's been a lot of talk of fan fiction in the twiverse this weekend. Yesterday we had one of the greatest hashtags I've seen in a while... #FicMoments. There was much reminiscing and also lots of fics I haven't read that I quickly added to my to-do list.

I've done a few rec posts on this blog before. If you are interested, go back and check out these posts from October, February and April

Jaymes over at Borderline Phenomenal also posted about fic last night, and I've read some awesome stuff lately, so thought I'd share some recs...


Running for Home
Ooza
B/E/Volvo (!), AH

After a lifetime of feeling out of place, Edward is told his entire past was a fabrication. On his journey to uncover the truth he meets Bella, a young woman who is neglecting all responsibility for the first time in her life. Will these two strangers help each other discover who they really are?

I loved this... light and relatively short. I guess I could also picture it, since it's not long since I was driving in the states and staying in motels. This Edward is so precious about his car, it's hilarious!

A Constant in the Darkness
Camoozle (Author of For the Summer)
B/E, AH  

Bella, suffering from an eating disorder, returns to Forks to care for her estranged father. She seeks comfort in Edward, an aspiring chef, who is having difficulty dealing with his own demons.

This fic OWNED me while I was reading it. Quite angsty but so, so good. Although I did want to shake Bella!

Dear Mr Masen

"Error 434: Reprimanding an executive." Life changing or just stupid? Dear Mr. Masen: A story of unauthorized Internet usage, culinary delights and the goings-on at Cullen, Inc.

This is mainly written in emails exchanged between our two main characters. Lots of fun, and a good slow burn.

The Exclusive
MrsAubergine
B/E, AH  

Edward Masen is a gorgeous politician about to become prime minister of New Zealand. Everybody loves him, but behind the public persona he has a secret desire. Political journalist Bella Swan is determined to find out what it is.

I was sent this rec because of the NZ link. It's really cute! And was great for me because I could picture so many of the places. Quick and fun.

Vinyl

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...

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a total h00r for anything Amber writes. This is no exception - Empire Records x Twilight? Yes please! Fun, quick and dirty. Love.

Show Me a Garden That's Bursting Into Life
atypical-swan
E/J -> E/J/B eventually, AH

Isolated and unable to trust people, Dr Jasper Whitlock finds himself in Forks, WA, taking on yet another temporary teaching position at a boarding school. He meets the enigmatic yet troubled music teacher Edward Cullen and his group of friends and family. Will they be enough to teach Jasper to live again? To love?

I have spoken before about my curiousity for polyfic and this story sated me.. for a while! A great slow burn, that starts with E&J and eventually Bella comes into the picture. A long fic, but a GREAT fic. Truly worth the time it takes. Also made me appreciate the awesomeness that is E/J... 

Twinned
Conversed
E/J, AH

Edward and Masen Cullen look identical, but mistake them at your peril. Watch as their carefully constructed world falls apart when they meet the new girl in town. There's slash-lite, het-smut and Jasper having shower sex with y'all.

After Show Me a Garden, I decided I was ready to test the waters of slash. @17ForeverLisa is always talking about Twinned and it's sequel, Seventeen Men. I am halfway through Twinned and I am loving it so far... if you're slash curious, give it a go! This Jasper is one of my all time favourites.

There you go, should give you a little more to be going on with!

Oh, and in other fic news....

We've been talking alot about the HunterHunting fics today, Clipped Wings & Inked Armour and the Misapprehension of Bella Swan. LOVED both of these, and I recently reread CW&IA. @LuvsMeSumEdward shared this pic today.... so thank her for the jaw-dropping, panty melting goodness... Tattward owns me!


ALSO... did you hear that Emancipation Proclamation is being published? It's going to be called Sempre. Love the title, how appropriate! Khar says this on her website: 

While the general plotline is still the same, the book is significantly different.  It was rewritten from the beginning to put it in its own world, so to speak, so please don't pick it up thinking it's simply EP-with-names-changed in print, because it's not.  It's much more (in *gasp* significantly fewer words).

I. Can't. Wait.

That's all I got for now, tweeps. Feel free to leave recs or your feelings about fics in the comments.
