Evening the Score by @DiamondHeart78

As many probably don't know, I'm not a huge fan of the original Bella. The shy, quiet, modest girl is so opposite of who I am that I just can't identify with her. Well, except for the whole "lusting after Edward" which I can TOTALLY identify with. So the Bella in Evening the Score is my kind of girl. She's gutsy, determined, knows what she wants and enjoys encounters with the opposite sex. As a sports journalist I'm sure she gets her fill of hot man candy, too. Not to say there aren't any flaws in her character. That wouldn't be realistic, would it? Poor Bella has some serious commitment issues. Then she travels to London and meets Edward; a playboy soccer player. Not exactly love at first sight for her, either.

"Sex Hair gives me a once over with his eyes before unleashing (what I'm sure he's well aware of and probably has a name for) a sly smirk that I immediately want to smack off his ever-loving face. I return the gesture with a unamused eye roll while Barbie dutifully disappears under his neck, emitting disgusting smacks and wet sloppy sounds. Just when my gagging reflexes start to rev up their engines, the elevator dings and I'm off like a canon out towards my luxury hotel suite, but not before I hear a very smooth male voice say "Have a nice evening." I can hear the smile in his remark.Ugh...typical."

They eventually hook up. That's not a spoiler, you had to know it was coming! Then something happens. Cocky playboy Edward starts to really fall for Bella, which starts to freak her out. Somehow you just want to be able to tell her not to stress out and just go with the flow. "Take a chance on him!" you want to scream. Alas, fictional characters can't hear us screaming at them and have to take their own sweet time to realize something that's staring right in their face. You can't help but fall in love with these two characters and really hope that they can make things work. They're sweet, fun, loving, and their sexy times are hot as hell.

"Everything I was thinking is thrown out the window and I give in. I help him take his boxer briefs off as he helps with my lace panties. He reaches behind me to unclasp my bra and tears it off, throwing it on the floor, along with our discarded underwear. His hand skims my sides and thighs until he reaches between them, where I want him the most. One finger, then two pumps slowly, making my back arch and moan at the sensation."Oh god, oh god...""Jesus, Bella...damn...I never get tired of feeling how wet you are. You're so ready for me, baby. What do you want? Tell me." He's half grunting, half growling, as he continues to pump at a fast pace and I can hardly form the necessary vowels and consonants to share my request."

Go read DiamondHeart78's Evening the Score. It's a fun, flirty, sexy story that will suck you in and easily entertain you.

End of Pick of the Week

Dear readers and Fandom members,

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that we are discontinuing our Pick of the Week (POW) posts after the week of 9/20/11. As most of you may know, our leader Shesha has had to disappear for awhile to deal with real life problems and annoyances. We have tried to keep up the site and POW postings the best we can with a limited staff, but unfortunately we’ve reached the point where we believe it’s best to stop. We do not want to compromise quality just for the sake of getting something out there. We will continue to keep the site open as the Database for your fic diving pleasure, as well as listing our monthly reading recs. Who knows, maybe once in a while someone will find a story they just HAVE to write about!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or ask us via Twitter. We love and appreciate all of you and hope to be able to start our POW’s again soon.


Thank you,

Still of the Night by @St_Angel_S

Still of the Night by StAngels

Official Summary: Bella wakes up every night at 2.13am, heart racing, fearful. Can the Doctor cure her or will the arrival of a dark stranger help Bella find peace from her past? Some lemons,few scary bits,E/B,AH,OOC,Some major character death.Supernatural/Suspense/Romance

Review:
When I first started reading Twilight fan-fiction I was very specific in what I would read. Only ExB, preferably AH, humor/romance. This was the first story I broadened my horizons on. It’s a crossover of Twilight and Supernatural. All the Twilight characters are present but with the twist of plain ol’ weird shit happening. We are introduced in the prologue to immediate anguish. Bella and Jake in the midst of a fight and Bella walking out the door.

I turn on my heel and run out of the door, the cool Forks rain hitting me in the face like little razor blades. My heart is racing, my palms are sweating and I can barely catch my breath. I run to my old beat up Chevy truck, get in, and drive away as quickly as I can.

I can't believe I actually did that.

Oh my God, I think, what have I done?

We pick up six months down the line with Bella having nightmares and waking at the same time every night. Charlie is worried for her and convinces her to start seeing Dr. Carlisle Cullen concerning her sleep issues. One night in his clinic and she appears to be cured. Bella returns home and that’s when all hell breaks loose.

I was allowed five seconds of peace before the nightmare started.

Suddenly, I feel a pair of big, cold hands wrap around my throat.

They're squeezing.

I try to take in a deep breath but...

I... can't... breathe...

I try to move but I'm immobile.

My heart is doing double time in my chest.

I need to fight.

It feels like someone is pinning me to the door and the person is closing their big hands around my throat, tighter and tighter. I can feel myself slipping away.

"No!" I try to scream, but my voice comes out in a hoarse rasp.

I'm fading...

Fading...

There's no more light, only black, as I lose my conscious grip on the world.

It’s then that we are introduced to the brothers Masen. Edward, Emmett, and Jasper, who hunt down all the bad things of the world. Ghosts, ghouls, shape shifters, werewolves, vampires, and all the hundreds of different demons you never want to believe in. Their father was a hunter and so they followed in his steps and now they travel the states, going to where ever the bad stuff appears. Most don’t know they exist but the few who do are the ones who let them know when weird stuff is happening.

I'm about to start the incantation when Rosalie flickering image appears right in front of Emmett. She screeches and raises both her arms above her head like talons about to come down and do some damage to him. And what does Emmett do? He freaking smiles his big ass dimpled grin at her and she stops. She's stands completely still looking at him like he's her lover. I can almost imagine them together if it had been different circumstances.

He must be crazy because the next thing he does is say, "Hi there, beautiful." I swear if a ghost could have blushed she would have.

She looks at him as if he has said the most beautiful words in the world to her.

"Why are you doing this, lovely?" He asks cocking his head to the side.

"Don't you see? They have everything. They have a whole life ahead of them. They have... everything I want," Rosalie screeches in response to Emmett's question looking.

I decide to take the time while she's distracted by Emmett to start the incantation.

"Cinis cineris, ut cinis cineris. Pulvis et pulvis per illa flamma existo solve o quis redimio vos hic may venia succurro vos reperio pacis phasmatis is absum." I say and throw a match into the grave. Rosalie screams and her ghost erupts into a big blue flame. Just before she disappears completely I add "Repio pacis." Rest in peace Rosalie.

"Fuck Emmett! What the fuck were you thinking?"

"What? She was hot. I thought I'd say hi," he answers me and adds with a pat on my shoulder

Jasper has already picked up the shovels and has started returning the soil to the grave when my cell phone rings.

"Masen." Who would be calling me at this hour?

"Edward, I need your help."

Looking up at Jasper and Emmett I say, "Carlisle, what's wrong?"

What happens when Brothers Masen are called in to look at the circumstances surrounding Bella? Put in simplest terms? A lot! But to find out you have to come read for yourself. You will be on the edge of your seat as both Edward and Bella’s world’s are tossed an turned, quite literally at times. Will they come out on top or will the supernatural forces surrounding them pull them under?

Thanks for reading!

Visions of Our Destiny by @ForksPixie

Visions of Our Destiny by ForksPixie

Official Summary:
Jasper has been waiting 60 years for Alice's vision of his vampire soul-mate. What happens when she knocks on the Cullen door escorted by the Volturi Guard. Vamp Story /AU
 
Review:
I want to first start off by saying that Forks is an amazing author that has an ability to take an idea and develop an amazing little plot bunny. This fic is no different.
 
I started reading this fic, in part because of my wife. She loves Forks’ writing and talked about it all time, so I decided to give it a try. Also, Forks reads my works, so like any good author, we return the favor and I am so glad that I did.

First this is NOT a cannon story. Edward is not Bella’s love interest, so if you don’t do non-cannon, turn and run now! However, I beg each of you reading this POW to give it a try. You will not be surprised.

This story starts with Bella packing to return to Italy, The University of Florance, for her school semester, but she is back in Forks for her father’s funeral. Charlie had been killed by a robber the week prior.  She had not seen her father since she was a girl, as she lived in Miami with her mother and Phil.

My mother, Phil and I returned to Forks for my father's funeral. It seemed as though the whole town was in attendance, including the entire Quileute reservation from La Push. This was my mother's first time back since she left my father when I was a baby.

After the funeral, she leaves for Italy.

I arranged for an apartment on campus and I couldn't wait to see all the places from the books and tourist guides I had diligently read as soon as I knew I was headed for Italy. I looked forward to visiting the artistic sites such as the Pitti Palace, the Uffizi Museum, Michelangelo's famous sculpture of David, and the Ponte Vecchio Bridge which was the oldest of its kind in Florence.

She arrives in Italy and settles into her apartment. She decides to go one night. Here is where she meets, as Forks puts it, “the person that would change my life forever,” Heidi.

She walked up to me, breathed me in and said, "You smell lovely."
I hadn't noticed her walk up to me. I didn't hear her foot steps. She was pale with purple eyes. I pulled slightly away from her and raised my eyebrows at her. What a strange thing to say to someone. "Thank you. I guess," I said.
"Please excuse my forwardness," she apologized with a smile that dazzled. "My name is Heidi. From your accent I assume you are American. I too am American and miss the aromas of home."
"Oh…sorry for my reaction," I said with a chuckle. "It just sounded like you wanted to eat me."
"Have you been in Italy long?" she asked as we began to walk slowly through the square.
"No I just arrived and was taking a walk."
"Are you here on a family vacation?"
"No. I am here for a semester at the university. I don't know anyone yet and was hoping to make friends and learn my way around."

Heidi takes her to the castle, Volterra.

Jasper’s POV (The Major) has been waiting for his beauty for 60 years. Alice told him that he had a perfect mate and he just had to be patient.  Her visions of his mate had always been obscure, then all of the sudden she could see her perfectly. Jasper’s coven is the Cullen’s, led by the one and only, Carlisle.

Emmett was already opening the doors to the back-porch before Edward had even finished his response. We all stood to follow him when Alice cried out, "NO!" Edward was immediately at her side. The horrors of Alice's vision clear on his face.
"What is it?" I asked, hoping that we had time to prepare for whatever was coming.
"She's alone. She's changing all alone," Alice whispered, still lost in her vision.
"Who? Who is changing?" I could not help the growl in my voice as I asked for more information.
Alice turned to look at me, her eyes filled with the venomous tears she could never release. "Your mate."

Bella Arrives at the castle, Heidi was leading to her death. Bella tries to get away, but Heidi holds her tight, as vampires drink the rest of the tourists that arrived with them on the bus.

Heidi put her hand to my chin and turned my face to expose my neck. "I am sorry, dear. But you must know that you exist to sustain us." She licked her lips and opened her mouth, exposing her sharp, glistening teeth. The shriek that had been lodged in my throat was ready to escape when I heard a man call out in an assertive voice. "Heidi, release her! That one is mine."

Aro, takes Bella,

The robed, monstrous man placed his hard cold hands on my upper arms and lifted me, my feet dangling off the floor. "Why run my dear? It will do you no good."
I could feel my teeth begin to chatter as my body shook uncontrollably. I was staring death in the eyes and I had no way to escape. The monster before me had perfect features. His white skin had a glowing appearance. Smooth and thin, almost translucent – it contradicted the blackness of his long hair that framed his face and his piercing eyes were black as night.
He placed me on the floor and his right arm snaked around my waist, pulling me flush against his stone-like body. He raised his other hand to brush my hair aside before grabbing the back of my head to expose my neck. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the pain of his teeth sinking into my flesh, but it did not come. I opened my eyes to see that he was looking at me with furrowed eyebrows. It was a look I could only describe as confused.
"So very interesting," he said in a low voice calling for someone by name. "Jane, dear?"
In an instant a small cloaked girl was standing by his side. "Yes, Master Aro?"

Here, Aro allows Jane to try too torture Bella. Nothing happened, and Aro was truly excited. He decided to give Bella the gift of immortality. Bella tried too resist, but Aro sank his teeth into her anyway.

Aro then gives Bella to Felix to take to a room, to assist and wait for the change to happen.

Once Bella awakens from her change, she meets with the brothers Aro, Caius, and Marcus. Instantly they can see that Bella is different, special even.  She shows that she has not desire to feed the way the Volturi. Realizing that he can not train her, Aro decides to call his old friend, Carlisle to see if his coven would be willing to take Bella under their wings.  The connection between Bella and Jasper is immediate.

How will this story continue, as I will NOT spoil anymore. I will tell you that Jasper in this story is one of my favorites, as his love for Bella is so intense, only to be coupled by Forks’ ability to describe with such fluidity in her writing.

This is a story littered with love, humor and yes a little angst along the way. I hope that you will give this story a try, as I could probably tell you the entire story but I will leave the experience to you.

Also, leave this author a review, as she always responds! I hope you enjoy, Visions of Our Destiny, as I know I have.

Thanks,
