Welcome to a new segment on The Wayward Pushers: Banner Boner! Lea and I are both big fans of the pretteh (Banners, Blinkies, all kinds of fan art!) and we wanted a way to showcase the awesome stuff we see and give you a great story recommendation along with it. From there the Banner Boner was born.
What is a banner boner, you ask?
It's that moment you see a piece of fan art. It's beautifully made and conveys a strong message.
It looks good.
So good that you want to go read the story. Now.
Lo and behold, the story is good too!
That, my friends, is a banner boner. And I have one...for this banner and story:
Lea aka TwistedIn aka my partner in crime sent me a link to this and we ooh'd and ahh'd over the beauty of it. The manip is flawless, the blending is perfect and I am a huge fan of the font choice for this banner. Font is a big deal, and it is really hard to pick the right font for a banner...at least for me. The artist created nice artwork that reflects the story really well. Raggdoll of Twilight is the banner maker and she makes some beautiful stuff, you can view her entire portfolio on her blog here.
About the story:
Reluctant widow, Bella, attempts to break out of her rut by going out with the handsome & cocky Coast Guard officer, Edward. Can he win her heart & who will rescue whom? AH, Rated M just in case.
My Summary:
It's been two years since Bella has lost her husband, Emmett, and she is just going through the motions of life. She meets the new Port Angeles Coast Guard named Edward Masen. Bella eventually agrees to a date and things are great...for awhile. Suddenly, Edward is giving Bella the cold shoulder and she has no idea why. Hurt by his rejection, Bella is out of sorts but eventually bounces back and even goes on a few dates with another man, but she can't help but wonder what happened with Edward. When she finds out his reason for retreating, will she immediately forgive him? Or will she need some time to think over what she has learned about Edward's past...*cue dramatic music*
Why I love this fic:
This story isn't an instant HEA for the pair, Bella has been thrown back into the dating game and isn't quite prepared for Edward's advances. When she is finally ready to commit to him, he backs off and confuses the hell out of Bella (and me, too!). I'm usually a Shyward/Geekward fan but RainyGirl has got me rooting for Cockyward in this fic. Eventually, though, you realize that this Cockyward is just a shy Geekward in disguise.
This fic is a WIP, fifteen chapters up as I type this, and we are just grazing the surface of the plot. Bella is finally realizing the depth of her feelings and I am really excited to see how this story progresses. RainGirl1978 is writing a wonderful story and you should go read...now!
That's the first Banner Boner on The Wayward Pushers, hopefully many more to come! Until next time :)
P.S. If you know of a great story/banner combo, give us a Banner Boner here. *winks*
