Banner Boner for Don't You Remember by @Nabstew & @teamhptwilight

Banner Boner (noun): A feeling of awe when both story and banner for said story are beautifully crafted.

The Banner

All I had given Nabstew was the quote that I wanted to use and she turned it into a beautiful banner for my story! I was so thrilled with it and that I ended up having a complete tumblr theme created off of it! :) I love the eye contact that Bella and Edward have and how heart wrenching the quote is. It really achieves the feeling/emotion of the fic.

The story

Don't You Remember by BellaClary

Bella & Mike are getting married in two days but she can't let go of her past and the secrets within it. What happens when someone comes back for one last dance? AH, AU, Lemons, Rated M


This fanfic is FUCKING PERFECT. From the first line I was in love with it. It's an Edward and Bella fanfic, but it's one of a kind. There's not a fanfic like this, not even close too. I love that. Actually it's very hard to describe how amazing and good it is, but it's exciting, unpredictable, sweet and lovely. I bet everyone who reads it will love it.

Very short: The fanfic is about Bella and Mike and they're about to get married soon, but at their party two days before their wedding someone (Edward) comes back for a last dance. And maybe it turns out into something else? Edward is Bella's ex, but he left her. The problem is that they're obviously still in love with each other. So what will Bella do? Leave Mike or leave Edward?

So so amazing fanfic. If you love Twilight, romance and just tension READ THIS! Also the author BellaClary deserves this attention. All I can say is: I love it.

La Bella Addorementata by @einfach_mich

La Bella Addorementata by @einfach_mich - Darkness at it's most beautiful.

La Bella Addorementata by einfach mich

Bella gets a new job with a strange twist. Edward is a vampire with a very particular fetish. AU, OOC, Dark fun. Halloween Treat. 

This was poetry.

Dark, coiling, sensual, and enthralling. 

I didn't want to like EfM's Edward and I really didn't know what to make of Bella, yet I kept reading. 

I found myself gripping my computer like a vice as I read.

It was so intriguing and encapsulating that I couldn't stop. Mere minutes and I was finished. I actually went back and reread. 

A stunning and appealing tale with such evocative imagery. 

I was thoroughly enticed and delightfully entertained. Truly.

A few fic picks for ya...

The Sound of Silence by Besotted - It's a nice read, very enjoyable. The "disability" Bella has is very believable.
Bella Swan lives in a continuum between sound and silence, a world apart from what Edward Cullen knows. When their lives collide and their attraction can't be denied, can they overlook their differences and let love define them?

Legally Bound by jennlen522 - I was lucky enough to make the banner for this one. The legal jargon is way over my head, but the Edward is hot. ;)
Whereas the law is passionless, passion must ever sway the heart of man-Aristotle. Bella's career is her priority. She always stuck to the plan, until Edward Cullen joined the firm. They are equals in every way. Falling in love was never in the plan.

Blue Satin and Cowboy Boots by symphiann - I get a very Ingalls vibe reading this, not a bad thing at all. Can't wait to see how she's going to fix this mess.
There were 4 unwritten laws in Forks during 1883.1-you listened to your Pa.2-You worshipped God.3-You did your chores without complaint.4-You stayed away from the Cullen brothers. I had no problems with those laws until a pair of green eyes looked my way.

Peace Out!

Banner Boner for The Machine Shop by @candykizzes24 & @angela4148

The Banner

Marianna aka candykizzes24 has made a banner for every story that I've written from the very beginning. After over two dedicated years, she has outdone herself and made my favorite banner. I adore her skills in putting pictures together and making it look flawless. She took everything I sent her, since I wanted to use Justin Timberlake and Kat Von D, and made this beautiful piece of art. Also the logo for the real Machine Shop was a must as the title because I just couldn't picture a banner without it. The colors are vibrant and I think that it just captures your attention from the very first look. She arranged in it such a great way, grouping the characters to perfectly for the storyline. You can check her out on her blog: www.candykizzes24.wordpress.com

The Story

The Machine Shop by angela4148

College graduate, Bella Swan, needs a job to pay for the student loans on a useless degree. Owner of the famous Machine Shop, Edward Cullen, is looking for a waitress, but there's a lot more to their stories. AH OOC

The Machine Shop is so far within its 13 chapters shaping up to be a pretty damn good story. Bella is best friends with Rosalie, who ends up bringing her to The Machine Shop; a bar in Michigan. Bella had just graduated from college with a degree in business managment but because of the unforseen circumstances of the economy, hadn't been able to find a job in her own career field. Enter her best friend and essentially sister Rosalie who brings her to the bar because she knows the bouncer, Emmett and could help get her a job.

The bar is owned by Edward Cullen. Edward is broody as ever in this story. Edward is an Iraq vet who's having some issues. For years, he's been dealing with the death of his best friend and fellow soldier. Edward blames himself and of course doesn't feel like he should or have the right to move on from that and deal with his pain.

When Edward and Bella meet, of course there's the immediate connection and 'spark'. Bella wants to get him better but Edward is keeping his distance. Things are starting out slow with these two, slowly Edward is letting Bella in and trying to let go of his past.

If you are like me and like the 'military Edward' in ff stories, then you'll definitely love this one. With other drama surrounding the other characters; Rosalie, Emmett, Alice & Jasper, this one will definitely keep you on your toes.

Pretty in Pink by @Fr333Bird

Ever wanted to see Riley hook up with Emmett? Yeah, I didn't see it either at first, but it's like a cupcake you didn't realize you wanted til you see the pretty pink frosting on the chocolate mound. You have to have it.

Pretty in Pink by Fr333bird

 Emmett is straight, honestly, but Riley isn't. And Riley looks confusingly pretty in the corset that he's wearing for a bet. Kinky oneshot, now extended - because these boys are too much fun to leave alone and some plot snuck in when I wasn't looking. AH.

I fell in love with these boys from the first paragraph. Riley is such a fun character and the way he tortures Emmett is just divine. It's light and quick and a very fun read. I highly encourage the slash girls to get with Pretty in Pink. Even if you aren't a hardcore slashy, you'll love this story. It's just adorable and sweet and delicious! 

Tell Fr333Bird that I sent you!
