"The Golden Giants Tour" by walkingwithgiants

Bella Swan has just been coerced to join her brother Emmett’s band - The Red Mile - for a three month tour through the US, Australia, and Europe to run their merchandise booth. With her recent break-up still hovering over her head, Bella prepares herself for life on tour with the Three Stooges a.k.a. Emmett, Riley, and Jacob. She’s known the guys her whole life and just as she considers them her big brothers the boys see her as a little sister. Well, two of three - Riley, however, just can't seem to abandon the idea of marrying little Smella oneday...

Upon arrival Emmett is quick to let his sister know that they’ll be sharing the bus with another band, The Golden Giants. And though most girls would be more than ecstatic to share a bus with ten (handsome) guys Bella is rather skeptic. Only too well does she know the good, the bad, and the REALLY ugly when it comes to touring with guys who sweat, pester, and have no verbal filter. Oh, and don't forget the showers at gas stations...

But all these thoughts come to a halt when Bella meets the lead singer of the other band, Edward Masen. Bonding over a cheesesteak in Philly, Bella and Edward begin a beautiful friendship - one that leads them to fighting dirty on the soccer field and insulting each other whenever possible. It’s all good old fashioned playground rough housing between the two until they get to Chicago where Bella suddenly realizes she might like Edward as more than just a friend. But the question is… does he feel the same?

Written in Bella's POV, this fic is filled with hilarity in the form of one Emmett Swan - oh who am I kidding, everyone is hilarious! The Golden Giants Tour is a total must read! I mean, who wouldn't want to read about a girl falling for a hot guy in a band? Especially when that guy is Edward! The plot is original and highly entertaining. You’ll definitely laugh your ass off from start to finish and a time or two you might even need a cold shower. Walkingwithgiants has a unique writing style in the way that she writes her characters with absolutely no consequence to proper etiquette or high superiority. What you see is what you get and these characters hold nothing back. I've read this story three times and every time I still find myself enjoying it as if it were the first time.

The Golden Giants Tour consists of 65,864 words and 49 chapters. This fic is rated M mostly for foul language and a few lemons.

"Outbound" by aftrnoondlight

When a content Bella Swan walks into Breezewith the intent to enjoy a dinner with friends she didn't expect to end the night in a passionate embrace with the restaurant’s owner, Edward Cullen. Bella wakes in a confused haze, checks Edward's blackberry for the time, and is surprised to see a young boy on the screen. Hoping to avoid a more than awkward "morning after", she slips out quickly and heads home. There, Bella lives with her sassy aunt Mary—who is a true believer that the 60’s are the new 40's - and niece Makenna, whose mother is Bella’s estranged sister Emily.

Cut to Edward, who is getting ready for his regular visit to his cancer battling sister Rose and his brother-in-law Emmett, who is struggling to hold everything together. Edward is able to give some comfort in the form of sheet music and piano coaching to his nephew Henry. It is then that Edward and Bella are serendipitously reunited on Eclipse Airflight 841, a nonstop service to New York - the beginning of a powerful romance between the two that remains tight through thick and thin.

Written in both Bella and Edward's POVs, Outboundis the perfect blend of angst and fluff. Aftrnoondlight sets the tone with a passionate first night between Bella and Edward that carries on through to the end—and even in two more outtakes! The conflicts in the story have more to do with family situations than anything else and throughout the story Edward and Bella keep having a strong bond. There is no heavy break-ups to worry about in this fic. It’s a great plot with excellent writing and charismatic characters that keep you invested until the very end.

Outbound consists of 12 chapters and 47,508 words. The story is rated MA for graphic lemons and language.

"Turkey Baster" by Counselor

Bella Swan has a plan. It may not be a very good plan - or smart, or ethical for that matter - but it’s a plan. An idea made from the love of her big sister Alice, who has just overcome ovarian cancer and cannot have children of her own. So with the help of her best friend Rosalie, Bella is looking for the perfect candidate for Operation Turkey Baster, i.e. a well built, attractive, clean and healthy yet somewhat irresponsible guy who will impregnate her during a one-night-stand.

But of course, nothing ever goes exactly according to plan... Like the fact that Edward Cullen, the man basting her “turkey”, happens to want more with Bella than just one night and won't take no for an answer. Or that he is far from being some random guy she met in a bar, but might have been particularly chosen by Rosalie... When Bella finally starts to reciprocate Edward’s feelings, disaster strikes in the form of a pregnant ex-girlfriend. Which is right around the same time Bella realizes she’s expecting a little Cullen herself. 

Counselor needs no introduction when it comes to her amazing stories. She’s well known for taking a simple idea and launching it into what could be a full blown best-selling novel. Lucky for us, she writes for free. She’s also known to use religion in her stories with a very tasteful and enlightening technique. Written in Bella’s point of view, Turkey Baster is not what you think based on the title alone. There is a large amount of angst in the story and very little humor or fluff. This story has a strong backbone and does not stray far from the original plot. The writing holds enough emotion and depth to bring you to tears from sadness, happiness, or even laughter. Counselor has a definite style that makes her writing stand out as it is almost as if the main character is pulling you along for the ride. When they hurt, you hurt. It’s that intense, the words are that powerful. You’re definitely able to recognize and follow the character growth in this story. There are no loose ends, everything wraps up into one beautiful bow. Personally, I've read Turkey Baster four times - it’s one of my top five fics of all time.

Turkey Baster consists of 32 chapters and 66,674 words. The story is rated MA for graphic sexual content, language, violence, and other adult material. Also, please be aware that although there is no scene of the incident itself, Bella is the victim of rape from someone close to home.

"High Fidelity" by IReen H

Bella—a breast cancer survivor who wears her pain on her skin in a multitude of colorful tattoos—shifts through her mail one day and realizes she’s been wrongfully accused of a hit and run. The accuser? Allstate agent, Edward Cullen, whose office just so happens to be located in the same building Bella works in. However, resolving the issue sets her off on one hell of a roller coaster ride and the two clash harder than a bulldozer and a freight train. The hits just keep on coming when Bella sets off to work her side job at a catering service ("Jane’s Kitchen") which has been hired to cater none other than Carlisle Cullen’s fifth wedding. There, Bella is subject to Edward’s drunk, crass, and rude behavior the entire night, adding fuel to the already burning fire of hate she harbors for him. Shortly after, Edward requests for "Jane’s Kitchen" to cater his upcoming Christmas Party. On one condition: he wants Bella to be the one to work the party.  Much to Bella’s dismay...

But what Bella doesn't know is that there are several factors that have lead Edward to become the self-destructive bitter man he is today. Edward suffers from heavy guilt and PTSD after serving a full tour of duty as a high ranking marine in Afghanistan. As a result of a traumatic experience that almost took his life, he is unable to emotionally connect with anyone in his life, especially his family. A family that has its own closet full of problems. As a result, he attempts to cope with sex and alcohol. That is, until he meets one woman who forces him to take responsibilities for himself. It’s a long and bumpy road filled with roadblocks and pile-up crashes—all of which bring both of them to their breaking points.

IReen H is one of my favorite authors to date. She has a style of her own that sucks you in until you’re unable to stop reading until the end. What I love most is that the author put real-life experiences into her story, giving it an authentic taste that lingers and makes you crave for more. The story is well written in both Bella and Edward’s POVs, giving the reader both sides of their corroded coin. When you read you feel like you’re there—especially when Edward talks about his tour in Afghanistan. The sexual tension between these two burns off the pages and the buildup leads to great satisfaction. But Bella and Edward’s relationship has LOTS of ups and downs and the story is filled with angst. It’s a slow burn between these two, and a long road to recovery. If you’re looking for fluff, you won’t find it here. But if you want an experience of a lifetime, sit back and enjoy the ride. It’s well worth it.

High Fidelity consists of 22 chapters and a total of 205,466 words. The story is rated MA for Sexual content, language, violence, and other adult material.
