Post made specifically for @lanaiskateislana who recently asked for Twilight fanfiction reccomendations and I decided to make it proper by making a bigger post so others can enjoy on the road as well ;) Fanfictions are mainly Bella x Edward centered:

Doubt

After their grueling time apart, Edward and Bella's relationship has seemingly stabilized and intimacy is moving in a positive direction... albeit a glacial one. Still, they're on a good path, growing closer and more comfortable after what was arguably Edward's most misguided attempt at keeping Bella safe.

It isn't until Edward catches an unexpected image in Jacob's mind that it dawns on him: Edward never asked about the extent of Bella and Jacob's physical relationship while he was away, or if such a relationship even developed between them at all.

As their own physical relationship evolves, Edward spends the following weeks trying to ignore his panic and jealousy—torn between asking Bella if she and Jake had become more than friends and pretending it wouldn't matter either way. Was the image in Jacob's mind a typical teen boy's fantasy, or worse... a memory of something real?

Canon compliant. Written in EPOV & BPOV.

Twilight summary part 29(? I think?)

[cto10121]

Not anti fans saying they finally understand Bella’s (romantic) appeal to Edward in Midnight Sun…when it was also obvious in the original Twilight.

I think a lot of people really struggle with the fact that Bella is a bit of an unreliable narrator with regards to herself, due largely to her major self-esteem issues. Also, she is not in the happiest of moods re: her hatred of Forks. But even beneath her self-deprecation you see her selflessness and her consideration of others. The very first thing she does in the books is to sacrifice her life in Phoenix for Forks so that her mother could be happy with her new husband. She cooks and cleans for Charlie without prompting and lowkey considers Renée as a kind of daughter from years of having to be the mature one—and thinks nothing of it. She diverts conversation away from Angela when Jessica starts to grill her on the type of guys she likes. She encourages Mike/Jessica, making them sit together in the van. She enjoys her time at Port Angeles with Angela and Jessica and helps them find dresses, perfectly content in her auxiliary role. She is diplomatic in her rejection of her three suitors. And then there is the fact that she demands answers from Edward, sees through his lies, notices his vampiric qualities, but also keeps his secrets and is not afraid of the vampiric side of him (as we all know). She is very perceptive; hence how she solves his mystery in virtually no time at all with just a tiny bit of sleuthing.

All of this is downplayed because Bella doesn’t like to boast about herself or even attract attention to herself. Not in Edward’s POV, though. Since he is fascinated with her, he picks up on all these qualities and focuses on them. We get the full, truer picture of Bella’s personality without her self-deprecating narration, and many of her graces in Twilight are highlighted and reinforced in Midnight Sun. And this time we go into detail on Bella’s likes and dislikes, past the cursory summary in Twilight, because Edward is interested in all that. Bella’s humor also comes across more in MS, since Edward finds her funny—both intentionally and not.

Because that’s how first person narration should work. You get the full internal sense of a character, but also their biases and blind spots as well. Just as Bella’s narration is wholly focused on Edward and other people and her own appeal is diminished and backgrounded, Edward’s narration is focused on Bella and other people and his own appeal is diminished and backgrounded. When both have evidence of each other’s attraction to them, they both try to justify it, sometimes correctly, but always with psychic discomfort. The smart reader was supposed to pick up on the subtext in the original book…a subtext that is then made explicit text in the companion novel.

Bella Swan + Edward Cullen

I was today years old when I realized Alice and Jasper are having sex while this scene occurs.

Jasper’s sex vibes emanate through the house, causing Edward’s uncharacteristically frisky behaviour

When Robert gets caught by Kristen looking at her boobs 😁

[cullen-crazy]

I know that some of the ideals that smeyer promotes are a bit... unconventional. Ie the implication that something in your life is missing without children. What I think she does really well is the topic of male consent. We usually only see the guy say no when the girl is drunk. Edward doesn’t consent and Bella listens. Well done smeyer, at least you got this right
