Today I decided to go with a sporting theme, since I've read quite a few fics lately where our fave Twi men partake in various sports (outside the bedroom too!). First up...
Edward/Bella
Summary - After being dragged to a baseball game by her best friend, Bella Swan meets handsome first baseman, Edward Cullen with the help of a rogue foul ball. There's something about him that she can't put out of her head, and apparently neither can he. E/B AU AH
Written by the lovely & talented Marina, creator of some of my very favorite Rob wallpapers. You can catch her work on Robsessed by clicking HERE. You should go have a look, it's worth it! Marina's love of baseball & the SF Giants comes through in this fic & that makes it all the more enjoyable to read as far as I'm concerned. The last chapter posted yesterday, but there are still a couple of epi's to follow next week. Edward & Bella's road is not a completely smooth one, but the author writes it so well that you will be with them every step of the way through the good times & bad. And let me tell you, when they do reconnect it's absolutely amazing! One of the most heart-felt & moving lemons I've ever read. Nothing obvious about this story...different & a pleasure to read, so go read it! :)

Edward/Bella
Summary - Bella Swan is an aspiring sports writer and her first big assignment is to interview the league's biggest, not to mention hottest, quarterback. Will Edward Cullen school her in the rules of the game or will she teach him a thing or two? Rated M.
This WIP fic is 37 chapters in & every chapter is a superb read. It's damn funny too, especially when Emmett's involved! He is the king of pranks & the king of Hammer Pants - if you want to know what I mean by that, you'll have to get reading. This story is well-written by an author who is also a huge fan of the sport & her love for it carries into the story & her wonderful characters. Edward's parents are another highlight of this story; their inappropriateness is fantastic (though not so much for Edward & Bella). I cannot stress enough how brilliant this story is & how much you need to go read it! You definitely won't be sorry!

Edward/Bella
Summary - Edward Cullen is the stroke of the Brown University Crew Team. Bella Swan is his new, shy, clumsy sophomore coxswain. Can they learn to get along for his most important season, or will he toss her out of the boat before they reach the finish line?
This fic is 15 chapters long & is complete. Funnily enough, when I think of rowing, I think of the film Oxford Blues with Rob Lowe. I used to have SUCH a crush on him when I was little, but I digress. Along with a wonderful story line & some big laughs (Edward's internal monologue is too funny), the author has made this fic very realistic & helps the reader out with a glossary of terms, so that you suddenly know way more about rowing than you ever did before. Reading this fic was a great experience & I enjoyed it immensely. I hope you will too. Btw, the picture that the author paints with her words of Edward rowing alone on the water, pushing his body to the limit... UNF!

Edward/Bella
Summary - Competitive figure skater Bella Swan meets NHL hockey player Edward Cullen. Bella's Olympic dreams are crushed by injury. Can he help her find the strength to take the ice again? Will they find love and friendship in the meantime? A/H, M, E/B
This is the most recent fic I started & I'm loving every moment of it so far! A completed fic at 26 chapters, I can't wait to read more. In fact, I'm a bit put out that I had to stop reading to do this post. :P I jest. Bella meets Edward at the airport when he offers to help her with her luggage since she's on crutches. She finds herself instantly attracted to him (as you do; he is Edward after all), but is not sure if she'll see him again. She moves into her new apartment & is immediately welcomed by her neighbors across the hall, Alice & Rosalie. Having never really had friends before since her skating & success kept her pretty isolated, Bella is thoroughly enjoying this new life that she is making for herself. I adore what the author is doing with the story & characters so far & I'm going back to reading as soon as I hit "Publish Post". ;)
Oh, and one more thing...
*SIGH* November's on the way, people! ;) Hopefully we'll see some sort of trailer soonish.
Well, hell, TwiCarol! You've been a busy girl! Great post. They all seem so fun and sexy. Can't wait to read them!
