Okay... I'm getting owned by fic lately. This one is ripping my heart out even more so that Art After 5 did. It has a bit of the feel of Art but goes far beyond the angst level. The fic is called Under the Boardwalk by Robicorn and my heart still hurts even though I got caught up hours ago. This is angst to the highest degree... I begged for updates.
General plot goes like this. Bella meets a boy while in a bar at the start of summer. He is captivated and she is hooked. The problem is that Edward is 24 and our dear Bella is only 17 with a year of high school to go. Edward doesn't want to give up his girl (that he thinks is 21) and so he takes a job at the local high school.
If you start this one- this comes with a keep tissues handy warning!!

Best AU vamp fic I've read in a long time
I've had more time to read lately which is a wonderful thing :) Today I was owned by And With Thee Fade Away by Derdriu O Faolain.
This was one of the most unique fics I've read in a long time. It had a bit of the original Twilight of course, mixed with some actual Dracula and a dash of Emancipation Proclamation and a hint of Anne Rice with possibly one of the funniest versions of vampire garlic EVER.
The only thing I would say about this was that Edward and Bella aren't incredibly Edward and Bella like. Edward is very very British and while some elements of his personality stay true, many others are very different. The same thing goes for Bella. I loved them both but if you are looking for a cannon Edward and Bella, this is not it. Don't get me started on how NOT cannon the rest of the Cullens are.
Definitely one to take the time to read. It's a completed fic, so no weeks of torture waiting for the next chapter. Go check it out!

The Lost Boys
Okay, I know I've horribly neglected my blog but I haven't' been doing much fanfic reading lately. Today however I sat down and read through one of the many many fics on my long list of recommended pieces and I was completely blown away. Today I tackled hwimsey's The Lost Boys.
I was completely floored by this amazing work. It has a bunch of elements that you just wouldn't think would work well together but for some reason are absolutely amazing. This tells the story of three boys in a band together who end up sharing a Victorian house with our three favorite girls. The romance that ensues would be predictable except for the fact that Edward and Bella are drawn to each other in a way that doesn't seem quite sane. Then the ghosts show up and you begin a wild ride to find out that their lives are much more connected than they seemed.
I would suggest dropping what you are doing, click on the link and read this fic. It is definitely worth the time and energy.
