Review
For those of you who don’t know me, in addition to working as part of the TwiFicDataBase staff, I’m one of the lucky women behind the Vampslash blog/contest. (Shamless plug, I know. It couldn’t be avoided.) So when FFReaderRW submited The Inadvertent Voyeur as a Pick of the Week candidate, I was all over it!
This story features a vamp Dr. Carlisle Cullen and Edward Masen as a human teen. As their next door neighbor, Carlisle is afforded the opportunity to watch Edward quite closely. Half the time Carlisle doesn’t even realize he is watching Edward, he gets so caught up in the young man’s actions that he is unaware of his own.
His heightened senses also allow him to pick up on goings on in the Masen household to which no one else is privy. We get a brief glimpse into a slightly darker Carlisle than we generally imagine when he overhears Mr. Masen’s form of discipline.
“I began monitoring the house from my kitchen window when I was home from work. Two days later I heard the distinct slapping of a strap and a child's pitiful cries begging for forgiveness. It took every ounce of restraint to keep from rushing into their house. I had never felt such hatred for any living creature.After the not-so-unfortunate demise of Edward Masen Sr., Carlisle becomes a more active participant in young Edward’s life, encouraging his intellect and artistic abilities. Carlisle’s feelings for Edward are chaste and paternal in the beginning. He only wants Edward to be comfortable, safe and happy - it is all he has ever wanted.
I began planning that animal's demise. I waited patiently until he was alone before confronting him. It was late and he had gone outside that evening to smoke a cigarette. His eyes widened in horror when I suddenly appeared in front of him, growling out his name. With my right arm, I grasped him by the throat and lifted him high off the ground.”
Eventually, as Edward grows to physical maturity, Carlisle recognizes that it is not just his favorite human’s mind to which he is attracted... Edward’s subtle flirtations also do not go unnoticed by the good doctor.
An unexpected heartbreak is what finally brings these two together. Carlisle is Edward’s only companion in his deepest time of need.
"She's dead, isn't she?" His voice is rough. His eyes are glassy.The Inadvertent Voyeur is a beautiful story - a tale of love and loss and bone-deep need. If you’ve never read slash, or you love slash but have been wary of a Carlisle/Edward pairing, please don’t let that stop you from reading this little oneshot. You’ll be amazed at how naturally this pair fits together.
He has made it easy for me. I simply nod. I sit on the table in front of him and take his hands in both of mine. I need to comfort him in some way. My hands are abnormally cold, but he is so numb right now that he doesn't seem to notice. He stares at the waiting room door blankly, as though he expects [her] to walk in any moment. [...]
For several minutes we sit together and he cries unabated. I try soothing him by stroking his back. I have never had to deal with something like this and I'm at a loss as to what to do. His arms are wrapped so tightly around me that if I were human, I would be in physical pain. [...] His face is buried in my neck and I can feel his hot tears rolling down over my collarbone and down my abdomen.

Outside the Bubble by OvertlyConcealed
OvertlyConcealed has created a completely obsessive-compulsive, anal-retentive, paranoid Edward that is so easy to love. One minute you're laughing at his fears (sea creatures, elevators, swans, new people) and the next you're "awwww"-ing your brains out because he's honestly just so lost.
Edward is ridiculously attracted to his new coworker Jasper, but he gets so anxious around Jasper that he can't manage to get coherent sentences out. His first try is "Good you later, Mr. Whitlock!"
The attraction is mutual, naturally, but the two are just completely unable to communicate. It's hilarious and and heart-breaking, and just so lovable!
As Levar Burton would say, don't take my word for it, go read Outside the Bubble by OvertlyConcealed for yourself and, as always, tell me what you think!

If Only by sadtomato
Jake is gay and his roommate, Edward, is straight. At least, that's how it starts. They're best friends, but lines begin to blur one night when Jake catches Edward... taking care of himself. The story is full of lemons and lust but it's also the story of best friends and unrequited love.
It's 11 short chapters, but is packed with emotion, and this is a Jakeward I can get behind. (And I didn't mean that in the punny way it came out...)
As ever, give this little fic a shot and come tell me what you think!

Update: "If Only" has also been rec'd at BookBytes FanFiction Corner.
Sleeves by iamamy
Edward's a doctor and Jasper's an artist, they're from different backgrounds, living radically different lives, but they meet and can't get enough of each other. Their connection is strong and instantaneous, and these two just can't get enough of each other. Naturally, aside from their emotional connection, the sexin is incredible. iamamy can write a lemon! The last update in particular (chapter 12) had me squirming in my seat from the level of hotness.
I'm really looking forward to what is in store next for these boys, and fortunately iamamy seems to update regularly.
So go give this one a shot, and then come tell me what you think!!
