Fan-Fiction “The Misapprehension of Bella Swan”

I’m extremely saddened to say that this will be our last Twilight Tuesday fan-fiction recommendation and I just wanted to say that Donna and I have had so much fun this last year bringing you our favorite fan-fiction stories and discussing them on the forums. I will miss this a great deal and I thank each and everyone of you for reading and discussing.

Now onto our last recommendation.

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan

by HunterHunting

Jen’s thoughts:

The story we are reviewing this week is a brand new story by our favorite fan-fiction author, HunterHunting. As she has shown with Clipped Wings and Inked Armor she is a master of the angstily written word and a magical story teller, has a HUGE potty mouth and writes a lemon like no other author around. And now this goddess of fan-fiction brings us a new genre of story – satire in the form of a sarcastic Bella and buff hockey playing Edward… I’m now certain heaven does exist in the form of this story.

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan starts off with Bella being dragged to an NHL arena to watch her step-brother Emmett play. At said hockey game she meets none other than the green eyed boy wonder of hockey, Edward. In just two chapters HH has you wrapped around her finger and dying to read more.

Here’s what I know so far… Bella has a tongue that will give you whiplash and Edward has a baaaaddddd reputation and the two are drawn together like moths to a flame. Do you really need to know more? This is a must, sit by your email every Wednesday until your email updates that HH has updated kind of story.

Donna’s thoughts:

Of course, you all know that Clipped Wings is one of my absolute FF of all time and you may well know that HH has nearly finished her epic journey of Tatward and his Kitten…. So I was sort of starting to panic a bit at the thought of not having my fix every week (cause HH is that good!!  She updates EVERY week). And to say I was ecstatic when I heard she was starting another story is the understatement of the century! I actually think I might have scared the kids a bit when I was doing my very loud happy dance!

So, even though HH has only two chapters up of MoBS…I begged Jen…Ok, told her we were doing this story for our last review together!  Basically you have your sassy and really wordy Bella and the very gorgeous Hockeyward and they have just met and hit if off…so to speak, but as Jen has said HH has this way of drawing you in and keeping you wanting more… and I am already hooked!!

Do yourself a favour and give this FF a go…Or why not let HH get a few more chapters of MoBS under her belt and start on Clipped Wings….Again!!

Parting words: as this wraps up our last fan-fiction I’d like to invite you to join our Twilight Good Read C2 on fan-fiction.net to continue to receive story recommendations as we read new and recommendable fics.

Fan Fiction – Edward Cullen, Dick for Hire by flplmtree95

I am so excited to tell you about the story we are reviewing today. It has officially made my top 3 and I think it’s definitely in Donna’s top 5!!! So here she is:

Edward Cullen, Dick for Hire

by flplmtree95

This is story I just stumbled upon one night when I was looking for something new to read and since I devour about 3 fan fics a week you can imagine that sometimes my digging turns up some rotten tomatoes and sometimes I find some gems. Well this one is definitely a GEM!!

Donna’s thoughts are up first:

Crime scene to visit. Murder to solve. Helllooooo……

First thing I want to say about Edward Cullen, Dick for Hire by flplmtree is that it is ridiculously well written, funny, fantastic and one of the BEST FF that I have read in a long time. I think I can even safely say that it is high up on my favourites list with Clipped Wings and Wide Awake (the chapters before the ‘goddess’ took her break, not after). I can even confess that I actually stayed up well into the wee hours of the morning just because I couldn’t stop reading it!!

Imagine this… Edward Cullen is a sarcastic, quick witted; smart mouthed, and cop loathing, total badass, sometimes hero, Private Investigator. We start off the story with Edward trying to out smart the new competition that has just arrived in town, which just happens to be Bella Swan. And in true FF style they are soon thrown together to solve a case for the DC police force.  Flplmtree has given us truly brilliant one liners that have you giggling for a full five minutes and has given Edward and Bella the perfect amount of personality that they just bounce off each other flawlessly. Throw in your basic dysfunctional family (on both sides) and someone trying to kill him and OMGoodness… I guarantee you the ride is worth it.

I cannot recommend this FF enough…You NEED to give this one a go. Not only will you find the journey worth it, you will be looking for more stories from flplmtree to read.

Jen’s thoughts…

Donna did a great job filling you in on the plot! I have to say that this definitely one of my top 3 fan fics of all time. Edward is HILLARIOUS in a gruff, sexy, sarcastic way and Bella is just plain awesome. The two have serious chemistry and this story has something not a lot of other stories have… a plot beyond Bella and  Edward’s romance! In all honesty Bella and Edward’s romance play second fiddle to the delicious crime drama happening in the foreground.

You MUST read this fan-fic! It’s absolutely amazing!! And as Donna already said you will find yourself searching through flplmtree’s other stories to find more of her excellent writing to read.

Be sure to let us know what you think! And if you’d like more stories to read be sure to join our FanFiction.net C2 list to be updated when we add new stories.

Fan-Fiction Hit By Destiny

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a fantastic Thursday. I’m flying solo today with my review, Donna just wrapped up sending the boys back to school after summer holiday and will be back next week.

This week’s recommendation is an interesting one and a little edgier and darker than most of my fan-fic recommendations BUT there is something about it that I could not pull myself away from so without further wait:

Hit By Destiny

by:  OCDMess

Here’s the premise: Edward is a jerk. He’s the not so misunderstood high-school badboy that everyone girl wants and every guy wants to be. He doesn’t play by anyone’s rules but his own. Bella is the school freak with a dark past. She makes it through each day being picked on and ridiculed by her peers all the while dealing with a family situation that makes her high school day look like a cake walk. Needless to say Edward and Bella aren’t friends and they don’t like each other. One very fateful day Edward hits Bella with his car as he hits a sheet of black ice. The story that unfolds after that is riveting.

I have never read a more intriguing story with such a quality jerkface Edward before. That’s right I said jerkface. It’s really not what I wanted to say but I’m trying to keep this PG. And even with that… I could not stop reading. There is something that pulls you to desperately want him to be good and Bella to over come her struggles.

This story is actively updated and currently 23 chapters long. I’m very interested to get the opinion of any one that reads it so please drop me a line here or over on the forums!

FanFiction – Never Sleep in a Strange Man’s Bed

This week’s pick:

Never Sleep in a Strange Man’s Bed

by WndrngY

Donna’s Thoughts:

Fan-Fiction: Hiding in Plain Sight by Limona

I am so very sorry this is late. This has been one of those days where I’d have been better off staying in bed. Donna is still on summer holiday in Australia so she will return next week. So here’s your rec for this week!

Hiding in Plain Sight by Limona

This is a story I started quite a while ago but held off on recommending because it was unfinished and the author was taking a break from it and I wasn’t sure if she was going to continue but just this weekend I got an update notice on this story and I was just thrilled! There should be a warning label on this story because it’s one of the ones that you just can’t walk away from!

Hiding in Plain Sight starts with Marie entering into state’s witness protection because she is a key witness against the Volturi mob boss Aro. Emmett is assigned to protect her and askes Edward, his brother, if he would be willing to stage a relationship with Marie and allow her to live with him. Marie changes her name to her middle name, Isabella, dies and cuts her hair, changes her look and moves in. Tension mounts from the start. Enter the gardener, Jake, and Bellas list of things she’d like to do before she dies and you’ve got yourself one intense love triangle.

The writing on this is suburb, the characters are flawless and the tension between the two main characters is amazingly well written. You won’t regret reading this story.

If you read it please leave me a note to let me know what you think! I love to hear if people think. You can join us on the Twilight Tuesday Forums to chat about the stories and be sure to join the FanFiction.net reading list to be updated on new stories as they are added!
