I could hear them at the edges of my consciousness but I wasn’t aware enough to know who was saying what.
“It’s just letters, all jumbled together; like the opening of ‘The Matrix’.”
“I’ve got some Dr. Seuss at the house from when we tried to read them to Renesmee.” Emmett said with a chuckle.
Ok, my first deal is “Master of the Universe 2” by Snowqueens Icedragon. This in-progress, very mature, adult-themed tale picks up where the first story left off. Our beloved Fifty and his beautiful Isabella are on their honeymoon, discovering the joys of being man and wife, but something dangerous is brewing back home. People are threatening to destroy their future and the past continues to loom over them like a dark cloud. Can Bella’s love give Edward the strength he needs? If you didn’t read the first one when it was recommended, what have you been doing all this time? Go read it immediately so you can pick up the sequel. Must be 18 years or older.

Next is an amazing rollercoaster of a story called “Songbird” by SydneyAlice. On the eve of Alice and Jaspers wedding, a chance encounter between the Maid of Honor and a Rouge Groomsman in a piano bar leads to a weekend of passion. When faced with the consequences, will Bella and Edward overcome their differences and focus on what's really important in life? This tale is still a work in progress, but it will have you hooked from the first amazingly hot and steamy chapter.

Third, I offer “The Blessing and the Curse” by The Black Arrow. This recently completed fic details the wickedness in discovering your soul mate on the day of your birth. Esme only wanted her children to be happy and her children only wanted to make sure she died knowing that. So, by pretending she is falling for Edward, Bella is fulfilling Esme's dying wish. But sexy, possessive Edward can read her mind. Will she ever get into his? Can Bella forget the pain of her teenage years, and can she resist his relentless seduction?

Last, I give you “An Introduction to Swirl and Daisy” by m81170. This is a tale of firsts. A first kiss, a first dance, a first curse word shared between best friends. This is the tale of a boring young geek and the social pariah who thought the world of him. A tale of growing up. A tale that every person who reads it can relate to. This author also has a website designed to support The Fandom Gives Back by selling fanfic designed products, MyT-Spot.com. This site offers products for other fics in addition to the ones for Swirl and Daisy, so visit it soon to help out research for children’s cancer.

Now, since these are of the highly addictive variety and you’re going to want to stay awake, I’m giving you my highly coveted recipe for an “Iced Caramel Latte” (believe me, you’ll need the caffeine)
Ingredients
2 tbsp Hershey’s Caramel syrup (don’t use the ice cream topping version unless you have no other choice)
1 tbsp Sugar
1 cup of slightly cooled brewed coffee (I actually use French pressed coffee)
1 cup milk
Mixing ingredients
Combine coffee, syrup, and sugar. Stir until sugar and syrup are completely dissolved. Add in milk and pour over ice.

Bella had managed, with a little help from Alice, to successful dodge all the party people for her birthday and her wish for a quiet celebration at home was granted. Oddly enough, Esme still felt the desire to make a cake, despite the fact that none of the Cullens would be partaking in it. I think she just did it because it gave her yet another reason to entertain the occupants of the lab.
“Present time!” Alice sang as she danced over with three packages. Bella just glared at her. “Don’t give me that look missy!” Alice glared back at her. “All these gifts were selected with peace and quiet in mind. At least you can’t give yourself paper cuts anymore. Go get comfortable everybody; Esme will serve cake after the gifts are open.”
Jasper rolled his eyes and looked at Edward, “Oh please! Before Bella, the self-loathing that flowed off you daily was enough to drive any human to over-dose. Believe me; I do not miss that at all!” Bella and Rosalie giggled knowing that was probably true.
My first immortal Bella lives in a tale called “Bella, The Lioness” by BellaMadonna. In this in-progress story, Bella survives unimaginable odds as a human, but when her body begins to fail her, Carlisle gives her a choice she never knew she had. As a vampire, she knows there’s not much she can’t over come, even the allure of a singer. But when that singer breaks her heart, will she be strong enough to love again? I love that this story is not just a reverse Twilight even though the characters stay true to their namesakes. There are things here that will make you giggle, I know reading about Edward’s great-grandfather made me laugh a little. If you want to know why, you’ll have to read it to find out.
My next vampire Bella has her own coven in “The Hunt” by AcrossTheSkyInStars. In this in-progress tale, Edward and Emmett are brothers who hunt supernatural creatures. However, something goes horribly wrong while hunting down a werewolf in Ohio and Emmett is kidnapped by a vampire. Not sure if his brother is dead or alive, Edward is on the hunt to find him, battling the supernatural and his lust for the coven leader...Bella. It won’t be long before Edward figures out things are not always as they seem.
My last deal is something short and sweet, just to clear the palette, called “Once Bitten” by NoMoreThanUsual. This is a sort of missing scene one-shot for the original Twilight saga. It’s a conversation where Bella and Edward imagine how things would have been different on their first day in Biology if Bella were the vampire and Edward the human. After the conversation I had with Emmett, do you think that this really happened or is it only fiction. Read it and let me know.
