Fic-Rec Fridays
Happy Friday ya'll!
I was honestly starting to think that that day would never come...but it has and I couldn't be more happy!
Anyway...moving on to the reason you all are reading (if anyone is actually reading)...Fic Rec Friday! This week's rec is coming from FanFiction and is a story I have been following since May. I absolutely love Peter and this story is honestly the reason why. If I remember correctly, this was the FIRST Peter/Bella story and I couldn't thank the author enough for bringing life to my love of Peter!
The Orbiting Meteor by Idreamofeddy
Pairing: Peter/Bella
Rating: MA...definetely MA. There is violence, character death, language, and sex. Lots of fucking sex...or should I just say lots of fucking? Either way...there's a lot of it.
Summary: (As written by Idreamofeddy) Three and a half years after escaping from the mythological and heartbreaking world of Forks, Bella is moving on with her life. What happens when a mysterious stranger catapults her back into the world she so desperately wanted to leave behind? AU/OC/OOC.
Why I love it: First and foremost, it's different, and that's important. Next, the chapters are LONG. Like long as in you sit there and read ONE CHAPTER for an hour. No joke. I love the life that she has given Peter and everyone else in Bella and Peter's world. I also love that it makes you think. Literally...there are some chapters that leave you saying WTF, but in a good way. There is some hardcore supernatural stuff going on in the story which, I found out, I love.
The author has also given us a strong Bella. One that won't take shit from anyone, no matter how dangerous they may be. I love that. I absolutely love a strong Bella. Gone are the days of a meek little innocent Bella...that's an SM Bella who has no backbone whatsoever who was way to dependant on Edward, even though she would completely argue that she was independant. I don't think so. Lastly, Peter is fucking HOT. No every time I think of Peter as a vamp, I think of this Peter, he's just that fucking hot. If you haven't had the chance to read this story yet...you need to. It will make you go Team Peter. I mean, honestly, how could you not after reading it?
Complete: No, but it is close to completion.
That's all for this week kiddos...I don't know what is happening to my One-Shot Wednesdays. It's starting to get too hard to find a well written, and well developed one-shot.

Fic-Rec Fridays
This week's fic rec is breaking out of my normal Bella/X pairings. But, I couldn't help it! This one is fascinating and about one of the 'underdog' couples that we all love but never really hear anything about.
Carmen's Story by Camilla
Pairing: Carmen/Eleazar
Rating: NC-17
Why I love it: Simple. It breaks out of my norm. I love the backstory that she has created for Carmen; from the war to even, essentially, being a sex slave. Although Carmen has a tragic backstory, it was tastefully written.
I also adore her Eleazar. He's such a gentleman. This story takes place from Carmen's change to the time that she and Eleazar decide to leave the Volturi and it is refreshing to read how their love blossoms and the change in Eleazar. She has him feeding in more privacy rather than the throne room massacres.
Lastly, I love that it is only two chapters. But, in those two chapters, you really get all that you need to. I believe that a sequel is in the works and I cannot wait to read it!
Complete: Yes

Fic-Rec Fridays
Well...it's Friday again. So, that means another fic-rec!
I have always been a big fan of non-canon Bella pairings and that is predominately what I read these days (even though I currently have two stories with an E/B pairing) and this last week as been no different. This week, I'm bringing you a Carlisle/Bella pairing which is one of my favorite non-canon pairings, second (just barely) only to Jasper/Bella.
An Unexpected Lady by JosieSwan
Pairing: Carlisle/Bella
Rating: NC-17
Summary: After Edward leaves Bella in New Moon, a wish sends Bella back to Jane Austen's England, where she meets a familiar face, Carlisle Cullen, whose control is not as we know it in 2010. Knowing his secret, will she be the end to his lonliness?
Why I love it: Even though it is only three chapters in, it seriously captivates me. This was the first time-travel fic that I have read and it has led me to read others. JosieSwan has done an amazing job and capturing the essence of 1815 England and I adore the budding relationship between Bella and Carlisle. Not to mention, the story is well written and has a humongous amount of potential. I think that the author has captured Carlisle Cullen perfectly and I love how she has Bella sneaking hints about the future without changing it like I have seen in other fics that I started reading.
This, in my opinion, is one of those fics that you find yourself silently, or not so sliently, begging the author to update as soon as possible.
Complete: No
And for those wondering...yes, I am working on updating Letting Go. So sorry for the delay!

One-Shot Wednesdays
Hello my lovelies!
It is...once again, Wednesday afternoon meaning we have another rendition of One-Shot Wednesdays. This week was a little harder to find a one shot that I liked, and believe me, I went through a lot of different pairings. After, in my opinion, little success, I went back to a one-shot that I read when it was first published back in December of '09 for the I Get Off in Volterra contest. Hope you enjoy it, I know I sure did.
