::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday


Oh, how everybody loves their drama! Between government drama, neighbor drama, and movie release drama, Lab Tech Andi just wants to put all the drama back where it belongs, back in her happy place. To accomplish this she’s bringing in her favorite Tech Team with their thick rimmed glasses and love of comic book characters. So, head to the blue door at the back of the shack, knock the funky beat of “Geek in the Pink” by Jason Mraz and the password is “Reboot”. Be Safe!
*~*~*~*~*~*~
“This DAMN COMPUTER!!!” I yelled as I banged my fists on the keyboard. This was the fifth time, it had frozen on me in the last hour and I was reaching my limit. I picked up the keyboard to throw it across the lab, but just as it left my hand, Alice materialized right in front of me and caught it. While Jasper flashed behind me, placing his hand on my shoulder and my body slumped down into the chair.

“Andi, you’re going to break it if you keep this up.” Alice said as she put the keyboard back on my desk.

“What difference would it make?” I leaned forward putting my face in my hands. “It’s constantly freezing, there’s a delay when I type, it won’t read anything off my flash drive, and the internet keeps dropping. I’m losing my mind.”

“No you’re not, you just need a break.” Soothed the deep baritone voice and I raised my head to see Emmett leaning down in front of me.

I made a move to stand and mumbled, “I need geekier friends, Emmett.”

“What am I? Chopped liver?” Jasper said with mock irritation. “I can fix this hunk o’ junk and it’ll be better than anything the ‘Geek Squad’ could do.” And I laughed even though I knew Jasper was perfectly capable.

“Ok, tech Jasper, do your worst.” and I turned to hug him. “Thanks.”

“Now, it’s time for you to leave!” Alice said grabbing my hand and pushing me toward Emmett. “Take her away; Rose is waiting!!”

“Waiting for what? Where am I going?” I looked between the three of them when Emmett snatched me up and threw me over his shoulder.

“It’s a surprise.” Then he laughed the most devious laugh I’d ever heard from him and watched the shack get smaller and smaller as we raced away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Still without a clue as to where we headed, I sat in the back seat watching the scenery blur passed; my mind back in my geekless lab. ‘Perhaps we could kidnap one of those’ I thought and giggled to myself. So all my dealings this week contain characters of the super sexy geeky variety, because the brain has to be the sexiest organ of all, right?

First, I’m offering up an amazing little tale called “Animate Me” by abstract way. In this is sexy story, Edward is a professional animator for Animation Nation and the one thing that he’s absolutely certain about is that he’s an incredible artist. However, Edward has one little issue, he’s a tad socially inept and the girl he worships is cartoon exec for Animation Nation, Bella Swan. He’s loved her from afar for a while and the only way he’s been able to get close to her is to draw her every night in his self-published comic book. So when he steps in to help a friend by working at a computer store and the object of his obsession walks through the door looking for a “thingy”, will they find out they have more in common than just working for the same company?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6989390

Next, I found a tale of two geeks in this adorably funny story titled “Geek Love” by SassenachWench. Edward and Bella are web geeks working for the same marketing company. Their relationship is fun and easy and because they work together Edward figures there’s no way to claim her. Until he can’t take the jealousy anymore and he begins the fight of his life to win over the girl he can’t have.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5327102

Next is a very lemony fluffy tale titled “Computer Repair” by Jayeliwood. Edward is a major teenage geek and Bella-well, she isn't. Although, when Edward overhears that she has computer troubles he offers to lend her a helping hand. What happens after he fixes her computer is not something he would have ever expected and it’s turned his world on its side.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4494177

Next, I’ve got a very cute and nerdy one-shot called “IF BELLA YES” by mothlights. The year is 1977, and aspiring programmer, Edward Cullen walks into a shop called Vinyl Frontier to attempt to check out his sister’s new boyfriend, only to find that the woman in the record shop is his seventh grade crush – the impulsive and incomparable Bella Swan.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5621288

And then I found smutty little one-shot titled “Geek Squad to the Rescue” by 4theluvofMary. Bella is an author of romance novels, while her real life is pretty much lacking in that department. There’s no art imitating life here until her computer crashes. Her track record with the Geek Squad has never been the greatest, but without any other options she grudgingly she calls them up for assistance. To her surprise, a hottie with glasses arrives at her door, willing and able to help her out with ALL of her problems.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4538118

And last, but certainly not least, I found this amazingly adorable tale called “Sittin' On The Shelf” by cutie sstb. Despite the fact that she entirely over qualified, Bella has been working at Emmett's comic shop for the past 3 years. Spending her days trying to get Edward's attention and yet, Edward is oblivious to the fact that she fancies him. Will our Ednerd realize she adores him or remain in the dark? Alice has a plan…
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5749235

To go along with these fics I would usually recommend something of the adult variety, but this time I think I’m going to suggest something befitting these geeky tales and that would be Starbucks. Here’s a copy cat recipe for their “Caramel Macchiato” in the event you want to make something at home.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons Starbucks' Vanilla Syrup
1/2 cup fresh brewed espresso
8 ounces steamed milk
3 to 4 tablespoons Starbucks' Caramel Sauce

Instructions
Add vanilla syrup to 16oz glass.
Add steamed milk and caramel sauce and stir well.

::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday


You’ve been under this spell for a while and now that it’s over, we mourn its loss. As lovers of fiction, we’ve adopted some characters as family; watched them grow in print and then on screen, but the adventure has to end sometime, right? So, Lab Tech Andi is casing her own spell and bidding a fond farewell to Harry Potter with just a few magical deals she came across. So point your broomstick toward the blue door at the back of the shack, knock the heavy beat of “Stupify” by Disturbed and the password is “Alohomora”. Be Safe!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I felt him hovering just behind me, his cool breath danced along the flesh of my neck. I knew that my pulse was increasing with each exhale and tap-tap-tap of my fingers. He breathed out once more making me shiver.

“What is taking you so long?” he growled low in my ear and I whirled around on him in frustration.

“Emmett McCarty Cullen! I would get this done faster if you would just leave me ALONE!!” I growled back at him and turned back to my keyboard. “Rose, can’t you please get him to leave me alone? I’m begging you!” I said under my breath knowing that she’d still be able to hear me. Emmett walked to the front of my desk and leaned in until he was mere millimeters from my face. I raised my eyes to his ochre ones, sucked in a controlled breath and blew in his face, “Go. Away.”

“You’re going to make us late!” he stated and then banged his hand on my desk making me jump a little and paced away from my desk.

“Leave Andi alone, Emmett” Rosalie said as she continued to casually flip though the magazine in her lap. “She’s not going to make us late for anything.”

“But she is!” he pouted and I suspect he was only attempting to gain an ally. It wasn’t working. Rose just rolled her eyes. He walked back over to stand behind me. “You type so slowly!! Move, I’ll type!” and as I felt his massive hands begin to curl around the tops of my arms like he was going to move me himself, the lilting piano of Dashboard Confessional’s ‘Blame it on the Changes’ began to stream from his pocket, Alice’s ringtone.

“But… Fine.” He stabbed at his phone and roughly shoved it back in his pocket as he walked away from me.

“Alice told you to leave me alone, didn’t she?” I asked and giggled a little continuing to type.

“Yes, but if you don’t hurry up, I’m going to ignore her.” He fumed from the other side of the room.

“Emmett, it’s just movie,” I pleaded from my chair but the statement only made him speed to me and invade my space again.

“Only a MOVIE! ONLY A MOVIE!!” He turned his head to Rose, “She thinks this is only a movie!” He threw his hand in the air and forced a laugh then slammed his hand back on my desk. “THIS, you silly girl, is NOT just some MOVIE!! It’s the LAST HARRY POTTER MOVIE!! There will not be anymore after this one!! This IS IT!! AND I DON’T WANT TO MISS IT! YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE ME MISS IT!!”

Calmly, I put my hands on my desk and rose from my chair making my nose touch his, “It’s not like they’re going to destroy the movie once they show it. Besides, you guys have a private theater! It won’t even start until we get there! You WON’T MISS ANYTHING! Now. Go. Away.” I moved to sit back down and he snapped his teeth at me, but I didn’t flinch. Rose giggled at my fearlessness.

“Come here Emmett and let her finish,” Rose cooed patting the cushion next to her. “She’ll never get done if you keep interrupting her. Come.”

It was the most alluring thing I’d ever seen Rosalie do, but it worked to get Emmett away from my desk and I tap-tap-tapped as fast as my little fingers could tap, so that Emmett could go see his movie.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So in honor of the very last Harry Potter film, I’m paying homage to magic and the magical and even found a way for the Cullen’s to help Harry crossover. I hope you enjoy.

First, I’m giving you a tale with little hidden magic called “An Untitled Continuation of the Twilight Saga” by gothicfictionfan. It’s been almost six years after Bella became a vampire and the Cullen family has moved once more to start again. With Renesmee almost an adult the family has decided to enroll her in a private all-girls school while the rest of her family begins classes at the nearby public school. But a new beginning doesn’t necessarily mean that danger doesn’t lurk around the corner. Will the Cullen’s be able to fight off this new unfamiliar threat?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4847870


Second, I found a bit of otherworldly magic in “The Mirrors” by adorablecullens. Some families have secrets that go back generations and are so mythical they could only be the inventions of fairytales or the insane. As a child, Teddy discovered a doorway into another world and found a kindred spirit. At first he wondered if it was just a very realistic dream, but when his doorway is suddenly lost with the destruction of a family heirloom, his life is forever changed. Now as an adult, can Edward let down his carefully constructed shield and open himself back up to magic and love when he meets a beautiful - and hauntingly familiar - woman in real life?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4971734


Lastly, I give you a tale that takes you all the way to Hogwarts called “The Secret Keeper” by A. E. Giggle. Bella and the Cullen’s have been through so much and after being victorious against Victoria and the newborns, they thought all their danger was gone. At least until Bella’s bracelet begins to heat up, alerting her to dangerous events unfolding at her old school, Hogwarts. That’s right, Bella has a secret of her own and now she has no choice but to inform the Cullen’s of her true, magical identity. To put it simply ... she's a Witch and Voldemort is after Harry. Now, she and the Cullen’s will join in the battle to fight off the Death Eaters and save Hogwarts.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5244652


To go along with these magical tales, I thought I’d find something that might be a magical ingredient called “Vipers Venom”

Ingredients:
1oz Cinnamon Schnapps
3 Scoops Ice Cream
1oz Peach Schnapps
1oz Sambuca

Mixing Instructions:
Blend Ice Cream till it is smooth. Add the Peach Schnapps blend. Add Sambuca Blend. And add Cinnamon Schnapps and blend. Pour into bowl or glass for a milkshake.

::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday



I'm sure you've been shaking with need, digging around for that next hit, scraping by with anything you could get your hands on, but Lab Tech Andi is in her own recovery and has put together a few tales that are sure to let you escape whatever hell you're in too. So head to the back of the shack, knock the beats of "Good Life" by OneRepublic and the password is "Rescue". Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was like I’d been living at the bottom of the ocean these past few weeks; I usually thrived under stress, but lately all I could feel was its weight bearing down on me. Slowly, I felt myself surfacing like I was swimming through a heavy syrup; my brain only half functioning. On the edges of my consciousness, I couldn't hear the voices trying to pull me further out of my dream-state.

“Andi, you need to get up! Can she even hear us?” Bella said just a few inches from my head.

“Oh, I'm quite certain she can hear us,” Alice responded. “In fact, she should be awake in another 32 seconds.”

I rolled over trying to bat them away, but they swiftly moved out of the path of my swinging arm. “Go away!” I pleaded to them. “Why won't you just leave me be?”

“Because we have let you be for too long now. The addicts need you, the authors are worried about you, and quite frankly, I'm tired of watching you sit around here all day.” Bella said as she pulled me into a sitting position. “You need to get back into the routine of things, you have things to do.”

“But I don’t even know what to give them.” I rolled over again, this time to face them. “Alice, look into the future and tell me what stories they want.”

“Andi,” Alice sat down beside me, “you know I won’t know that unless you’ve already made up your mind yourself. Besides, it’s not like you haven’t been reading. Just give them something that you like and the rest of it will come together.”

“Are you sure?”

“We’re sure!” They said in unison which made me giggle a little.

“Ok, but if I get this together, can we do something fun?” I asked dragging myself out of bed.

“Definitely!” Bella told me as she pushed me toward the bathroom. “Now get a move on, we don’t have time to waste!”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Then I began thinking, what would I give my poor neglected addicts? Something fun? Something dark? Something I’ve loved? Alright, then here goes…

First, I’ll give you a tale that makes me laugh quite often called “Spirit of '76” by spanglemaker9. It's July 4th, 1976, and all of New York City has cut loose to celebrate - everyone except Edward Cullen. But Emmett refuses to let him sink any further into the family mold and insists they head into the city without a single plan. Of course that’s when they bump into two very modern girls who seem to remain just slightly out of reach. Will they ever manage to catch them? The whole one-shot is awesome and this author never disappoints, but I think the funniest part of this story is the image of Emmett in bell bottom pants and platform shoes. It’s just so Emmett.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6281686


Next I’ll give you a story by a fairly new author that I picked up only for the simple reason that he has a way with painting pictures with words called “The Photographer” by BellasBritishNerd. Edward and Bella have known each other since high school, were even best friends, but once she moved away under the pretence of attending college, their level of communication suffered and Edward wasn’t sure he’d ever hear from her again, even if he couldn’t ever stop loving her. However, fate works in funny ways and even when you think you have everything you want; do you ever really have everything you need? Will their continued lack of communication eat away at the thread-bare amount of trust they had to begin with? This story is not a happy one and this Edward is sexy, but pretty rough around the edges. So if you like your Edward’s a tad on the raw side, I know you’ll love this tale too.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7114690


Finally, I’ll give you a tale that’s a beautiful struggle called “Never Bargained For You” by SpringHale. Edward Cullen, a PhD candidate in English Literature and father of two little girls, wishes he could change his past when his wife, Tanya, suddenly up and disappears without a warning. In search of understanding, he seeks out the guidance of an author who has inspired him to find a new purpose in life, Bella Swan. However, Bella has her own turmoil from a failing celebrity marriage and simply wants to delve into something new so she won’t have to think much about her own life. How will these two souls help each other mend as they blur the line between student and mentor? What I love about this story is that it makes you think about more than the characters; it makes you really want to know what moves them. Read this and you’ll want to know them too.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6193469

Now to go along with these little beauties, I think I’ll recommend a Cranberry Lifesaver:

Ingredients
2oz Amaretto
1oz Cranberry juice

Mixing Instructions
Mix together with crushed ice in a glass and garnish with mint leaves

::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday



You’ve been so patient and waited for me to regain my wits, for which I’m eternally grateful!! I think I shall reward my lovely addicts with gifts of Dadward!! After all it, it will be Father’s Day on Sunday and our swoon-worthy Edward Cullen will be another year older on Monday. Therefore, I suggest you head to the Blue door at the back of the shack, knock the heavy beats of “Sleep Isabella” by Abney Park and the password is “Daddy”. Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yet again, I open the door to the lab and out tumbles a stream of notes so beautiful, they make your heart melt at the sound. It’s the sort of sound that paints pictures with notes. It’s amazing and wonderful and so welcome that I can hardly stay focused on what I’m actually supposed to accomplish today. The amazing thing about all of this is that the notes sweeping me away from my currently reality are not being played my usual keyboard musician, but by the guitar strumming of his inherently talented offspring.

For the past several days, Jasper and Renesmee had been camped out in one corner of the lab preparing a song for Edward’s Father’s Day and Birthday gift. Edward had once made a passing comment to Renesmee that he would teach her how to play the guitar one day and lately he’d been asking if she was ready. What he didn’t know was that she wanted to surprise him and to do that she’d begged her Uncle Jasper to give her lessons in the lab. I didn’t even realize Jasper knew how to play the guitar, but I guess there are still lots of things I don’t know about them.

Renesmee was a natural at music though, just like her father. I’d watched it happen not long ago when Edward had sat with her at the keyboard and played Bella’s lullaby while the authors and I swooned from our seats. After he struck the final cord, she crawled onto his lap, placed her tiny hands on the keys and copied his movements exactly. It was a spectacular thing to witness and very entertaining to see Edward attempt to contain his complete and utter astonishment.

One of the recent side-effects of Renesmee’s songs was the imagery they conjured while she played them. It was almost as if the talent was an extension of her ability to project images by touch. All she really had to do was play a song and your mind would be taken over with pictures. I hadn’t noticed this effect when Edward was giving her lessons, but she wasn’t playing her own music then either. Right now she was composing and it really was magical, but unlike the images you saw when she touched you, if you managed to block out her music, you could block out the pictures too. Although, who’d want to? They were like little vacations without ever having to leave home.

And a little vacation was exactly what I needed. I think Alice could see that too. She’d popped in a time or two, while Jazz and Nessie were in here, but mostly she stayed away letting me get absorbed by the sounds around me. It was perfect and I knew that Edward would love it. So come Sunday, Renesmee would be able to dazzle everyone with her talent and it would be the most perfect Father’s Day ever.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

With Father’s day in mind, all the dealing I picked out contain fathers, some good, some bad, some who want to be better. I hope you enjoy.

My first tale, is a period piece titled “To Be in Her Light” by sunflowersongs Edward Masen, the Viscount Cullen, is not a very good man. Up until his father’s death, he has lead an incredibly sinful existence which has given him two illegitimate daughters. Despite the fact that he has no idea how to be a father to these two little girls, he’s not about to deny them either. So with the assistance of his staff, he employs Miss Isabella Swan to be his children's governess, but finds himself drawn to her in unreasonable ways. However, their stations in life and his past might not lead to happiness.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5905059

Next, I found this amazingly hot Dadward in “Playing Doctor” by lexiecullen17. Edward Cullen is a young, single dad, whose just been abandoned by his girlfriend with their infant son. This was not the life he had planned and it’s certainly not been easy, but he knows he’ll find a way to make it work. So, when his son's pediatrician, the lovely Dr. Swan, offers to help out, if ever he needs it, will he take her up on that offer? This short is a very beautifully long and slow burn of a one-shot, but completely worth it.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5424248/

Last, I have a long awaited mystery called “A Beautiful Lie” by Brindalyn. Edward and Bella have been friends since childhood and have shared nearly everything, but at the age of seventeen, they’ll find their paths go in different directions. He’ll become a star and she’ll stay in the sleepy town they grew up in, raising his son, a son he knew nothing about. A son she hid from him to allow him to live out his dream and protect them both. Will this secret be too much to keep from him when this is the only man she’ll ever love?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4605391/

Now to go along with these tales, I’m going to suggest a simple bottle of your favorite wine, just to soothe that craving for children.



I hope you all have an excellent Father's Day and until next week, Tweet (FanFicDealer), Message me on Facebook, or email (fanficdealer@gmail.com) if you want to talk shop.

::Team Twilight:: Storybook Saturday



You’ve been so patient. You’ve wait for things to come together and finally, you will be rewarded. Lab Tech Andi has just been swamped lately, but thankfully the Cullen’s know how important your addictions are and would never deprive you of the thing you desire most. So Bella’s dug through Andi’s computer to find to fics that could rival the promised trailer on Sunday. When you’re ready, make your way to the blue door at the back of the shack, knock out the sweet melodic guitar from “If You Find Her” by Future of Forestry, and the password is “Forever”. Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Did your wedding look like that, Momma?” Renesmee asked beside me as she watched the short video Andi had playing on one of the nearby screens not that she was watching it.

“No baby, our ceremony was in the living room, not outside,” I explained and turned back to the computer.

“Was your hair like that?”

“It was close; Aunt Rose did a much better job on my hair than those stylists did on that actress’ hair.”

“Well, did they get any of it right?” She asked appearing to get slightly exasperated.

“We won’t know for sure until the movie comes out, but I’m sure it’ll be fine.” Then I heard Andi begin to stir on the other side of the room and I glanced in her direction for a second. She still appeared a sleep. So I continued on with my mission.

This week had been a complete nightmare for her; other obligations had been driving her blood pressure through the roof and I could hear it struggle to flow through her veins even from this distance. Alice had sent me here the other night, saying that Andi was in trouble. By the time Edward and I burst through the door of the lab, she was curled up on the floor in a sobbing heap.

I tried to ask her what was wrong, but she couldn’t even form a coherent sound. Edward tried to decipher her thoughts, but said it was all just ones and zeros; nothing that made sense to him. We eventually got her off the floor and Edward looked her over, just to make sure she wasn’t injured and then he sang just like he does for Renesmee at bedtime; like he used to do for me when I used to sleep. Eventually, her sobs calmed and then she was asleep. While she slept, Edward could better see her thoughts. He said it was just stress and sleep would help her.

“What about Friday?” I ask Edward. “I doubt she has anything prepared and she not in any condition to put anything together either.”

“Oh Love, we’ll just have to say she’s unavailable this week, I’m sure people will understand.”

“What if I put them out?” I asked. “We’ve all done it before, but it’s just that Friday is a little too close and I don’t have a clue what she has in that computer.”

“Bella, I’m sure it will all work out if you want to do it.” Edward reassured me. “I’m certain Andi would appreciate it.”

“Ok, then I’d better see what I have to work with,” I told him as I rose to my feet and he pulled me in close for a long lingering kiss. I opened my mind to him as we kissed, letting him know what he was doing to me and as I pulled away I simply whispered, “Later”.

He responded with a growl and as I walked away, he swatted my behind growling the words “wicked woman” under his breath. When I looked back at him, he had the most angelic smile on his face, which made me giggle knowing he was anything but.

I got on Andi’s computer and there was so much there, I couldn’t figure out how she ever found anything. I’d been sifting through files for a while when Renesmee popped in with Alice and she dragged him away to help with something. I hadn’t even paid any attention to what was playing on any of the other screens until Renesmee started asking me questions about our wedding. I stopped to watch it for a moment and remembered how nervous I was that day; how beautiful everything was; how perfect our wedding night was. I was still lost in thought when Edward came back through the door.

“Come up with anything yet?”

“Nope,” that’s when I noticed what he had in his hands. “Why did you bring our wedding album?”

“Alice said I should show it to Renesmee,” he said looking at her and she immediately jumped into his arms.

“Yes, Daddy! Please!” she exclaimed, “These wedding clips are so short. I want to know about your wedding!”

“Ah, now I understand,” he said as he glanced at the screen and then over to me and winked. “Let’s go over here and leave mommy alone. We’ll look at some real wedding pictures.” I giggled.

With my attention back on the screen before me, I suddenly knew what I had to find and my path was clear. They had to be here somewhere; I just had to keep going.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So with my own wedding on my mind, I searched to find a few stories about weddings. I hope the ones I found will tide you over until the trailer is released.

The first wedding I found was a tale called “I Thee Wed” by SydneyAlice. Wedding planners, Bella Swan and Alice Whitlock, are hired to plan the wedding of the year. The only thing is that the groom has been mysteriously MIA for a while and the bride is going out of town for a few weeks. As final details of the wedding are coming together, Bella is going to have to work closely with this groom. What happens when she breaks the cardinal rule of wedding planning and falls for the groom? How will Edward be able to keep his promise without breaking the heart of the woman he truly loves?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6596606

Next, I found a wedding tragedy in a story titled, “Eight Years Later” by jmeyer. It’s been 8 long years since Edward left Bella on their wedding day. But after quite a bit of effort, she’s managed to fake her way into a normal existence. Despite the difficultly of coming back, Forks has always been her home and she misses Charlie, so she’s finally come back to Forks. Only when she arrives, she discovers Edward has also returned with a BIG secret. Everything is different and that really shouldn’t be possible since Edward was a vampire, right?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4428342

The third wedding I found was also a small tragedy called “Picture Windows” by nerac. Bella has the picture perfect life on the horizon, but a week before her wedding, tragedy strikes and her fiancé is suddenly taken. While recovering from losing the love of her life, she meets a stranger in a hauntingly familiar way. Could he have been sent by her late fiancé?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5135527

Lastly, I found another wedding planner in a short and sweet tale called, “True Companion” by bellamarie117. Bella Swan always believed in happily ever afters. So, when she marries her high school sweetheart and starts her own wedding business, she thinks she's living her dream. Until it all comes to a rather abrupt end. Can it be possible that she was really destined for someone else all along and has worked beside him off and on for years?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6876336

Now because of all the excitement that Sunday promises to bring, I’m just going to recommend you pull out a bottle of Champagne to celebrate.



So hopefully, Andi will recover and all will be better next week. Until then, Tweet (FanFicDealer), Message Andi on Facebook, or email (fanficdealer@gmail.com) if you want to talk shop.

The deal has been made. ;)

::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday



OMG! Can someone tell me what year it is?? I just know the world had ended and I’ve been fighting my way back from hell ever since!! What a week! Thankfully, it’s a holiday weekend and I’m so looking forward to sitting back with a big drink and a smartphone full of fics. If you want to join me, race to the blue door at the back of the shack, knock the techno beat of Daft Punk's "Derezzed" and the pass phrase is “Start your engines!”. Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The week has been exhausting! The lab has had so much going on and still so much left to do that by the time I fell into bed, I began dreaming almost as soon as I closed my eyes. The dreams were so strange and real.

At first, I heard music, it played all around me and it was sweet. The voices that made up my dream song were smooth and lilting. Pushing and pulling me, in different directions and then lifting me. Then suddenly I was flying. I felt the cold on my skin, the breeze in my hair. I began to shiver and pulled my blankets tighter.

Eventually, I settled and rested my weary body on a cloud. The soft wispy mist surrounding me; embracing me, pulling me deeper into sleep. The scent of the air carried that of lilacs, lavender, apple, and vanilla. I smiled and breathed in deeply, taking in the scent, filling my body with its presence and giving into the weight I felt bearing down on me.

The weight holding me down began to lift and I was floating again. Flying swiftly towards somewhere unknown and landing on earth so soft, warm, and comfortable that I relaxed once again into its embrace and ever so slowly my dream faded into darkness.

The light was strange when I opened my eyes and everything was the wrong color. My brain wasn’t quite functioning, but while I continued to blink, taking in my surroundings. This was not my room, or at least not the room I fell asleep in. Where was I? Before the panic could completely take over, I felt the bed dip beside me and a hand on my shoulder bringing with it an immediate calm; I didn’t need to turn to know it was Jasper.

Alice appeared in front of me, “I’m so glad you’re finally awake!” she said bouncing on her toes. “Now get up and get dressed. I want to get to the track!”

“Whoa, slow down there pixie woman!” I told her as I sat up and look at the both of them. “I know I didn’t fall asleep in a hotel room, so where are we?”

“We are in Tokyo, my dear Andi, now get dressed!”

“Excuse me?” I continued to blink at her. “Did you say Tokyo? Please tell me that’s some random tiny town in the continental United States!”

“Nope, Japan. Now if you don’t dress yourself, I’m going to have to dress you myself. They’re all getting track time without me!!” she exclaimed.

“Ok, ok, not like I packed. What do I have to wear?”

“Here put this on,” she said as tossed me some clothes and left the room with Jasper. I shook my head and got out of bed to get ready for whatever awaited me.

Emerging from the bedroom, I was quickly pulled to a car and we were on our way to… “Alice, where are we going?”

“There’s a race track that’s not far from here and every once in a while we have our own little race. Most of the time it’s just us, but occasionally a random nomad will join us. That’s when Rose is really in her element! She loves to show off her tuning skills. Though, today we’re going against Jacob’s pack.” She smiled slyly.

I laughed knowing Jacob would quickly accept that kind of challenge. “So are you racing?” I asked her.

“Of course!” she said as if it were obvious.

As we continued on our trip to the race track, I wondered who else would be racing and who would win. “Hey Alice, can’t you already see who’s going to win?”

“Nope, because the wolves are here and too many decisions haven’t been made yet.”

Hmmm… Then this should be interesting…

With racing in mind and it also being the weekend for the Indy 500, all my dealings came to me fast. They have fast cars, fast drivers, and a few have fast relationships. I hope you enjoy!

First in line, I have a speedy tale called “Up to Speed” by ericastwilight. Over-confident, playboy, race car driver, Edward Cullen, is just not having the best luck. Since wrecking yet another car, most of his sponsors are dropping him which is now leaving him and his team short on funds. At this point they need a miracle in order to keep Edward behind the wheel, and that’s when their prayers are answered. Bella Swan is one of the most brilliant engineers on the planet and she’s decided Edward Cullen is going to be her next project. Will she succeed in making him the best and help him win the Sprint Cup?

Next in line, I found “Feel Good Drag” by JasperSAYSrelax128. Bella lived in Phoenix with her mom and step-dad and unknown to them she’s one of the top street racers in Arizona. But when a recent race ends up in a police chase, Renee decides to send her to live with Charlie in Forks, WA, thinking that it will get her away from the racing lifestyle. What she doesn’t know is that is that there’s an underground racing site that only allows boys to race? Will Bella be able to resist being an active participant? How do you think she’ll get around their rules?

Third in line, I found something with a little wear and tear, but still pretty fast called “Chasing Victory” by mpg. Edward and Bella were high school sweethearts, but he still wasn’t sure he was ready for commitment. Until he overheard Bella talking in her sleep about marriage, he freaked out and broke up with her. Both have been trying to move on ever since. Then Edward’s career as a race-car driver starts to go downhill and he just has to get away for a while and Carlisle lets him borrow his place in London. Imagine his surprise when on his flight to London, he’s seated by none other than Bella Swan.

And Finally, I just couldn’t resist this Indy car tale called “This Year's Girl” by EtrnlPsyche. In an effort to find Edward Masen, famous Indy car driver, a date for a banquet and a little publicity, Jasper Whitlock creates a contest for some lucky fan to win a one night date with Edward. Alice is a big fan of racing and when she sees the ads for the contest, she just knows this is the perfect way to distract her friend Bella from her current destructive relationship with a guy named James. By some miracle she wins, but what should have only been one night, turns into something infinitely more.

And since racing really needs more of them, I suggest a little drink called a “Woman Driver”:

Ingredients
2 oz. Liqueur, melon (Midori)
1 oz. Schnapps, peach
1 oz. Vodka
1 splash Cranberry Juice
3 oz. Orange Juice

Mixing Instructions
Fill glass with ice. Add O.J., schnapps, and vodka. Tilt glass to side and slowly pour Midori down side of glass so that it sinks to the bottom. Splash with cranberry juice.
