WIP Friday - To Have and To Hold

To Have and To Hold by SweetT129

Jasper/Bella

Summary - Jasper and Bella thought they were living a dream until strange gifts and letters began appearing. Who they were from and what they meant was a mystery, one that was far more complicated than the lovers could ever imagine. Drama-filled!

So, our favorite Carlisle Mistress has taken a crack at writing Jasper. As if we didn't love her enough already...

To Have and To Hold is currently two chapters in, but I'm already on the edge of my seat. I promise this fic will pull you right in from chapter one. This Jasper is deliciously sweet and head over heels in love with Bella. What could go wrong? Well, this is Bella we're dealing with and she seems to have a stalker. The mystery is just getting started, but I'm terribly intrigued.

Jump in on this story now while it's still new. I'm already starting to tingle over all of the drama and angst I feel coming!

Well, I had the honor & pleasure of making that banner for T's new story and as soon as she told me what it was about, I just knew I had to read it. What you will notice straight away is what a great writer Tara is. I was completely drawn in from the beginning, smiling to myself at Jasper & Bella's happiness, then slowly this sense of foreboding started creeping in & I was feeling rather nervous for our favorite pair, wondering what was lurking in the shadows, so to speak. I don't want to give too much away, but you should definitely go and check this mysterious little gem of a story out. It's awesome and will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering what's going to happen next. My favorite part of the second chapter is when Jasper yells "What the fuck is going on?" - that's exactly what I was thinking by the end of chapter two & I can't wait to find out! 

Wow! I absolutley love this story. SweetT129 has got to be the best Carlisle/Bella author out there and now she is giving us some Jasper/Bella. She definitely knows how to keep her readers coming back for more. Two chapters in already and she has me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for chapter three. I tell ya at the end of chapter two I was wondering what the hell was going to happen next. I am literally sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my nails waiting as patiently as I possibly can for another update.

Friday WIP Rec

Mine Alone by Winndsinger

Edward/Bella

Summary - A vampire's love is forever. But what if Bella chose to be with Jacob instead of Edward after Eclipse? Edward slowly loses his mind after losing Bella and will do anything to keep her. This has some Darkward in it and the story will get dark at times.

Disclaimer - Very dark themes with an incredibly dark Edward. Don't like that sort of thing, don't read!

So, I know we've been rec'ing the remaining Domination Contest Entries on Fridays, and we have four left, but we'll get to them next week. Today, Kathy found us this tasty little story and we had to talk about it.

OME! I have NEVER read an Edward quite like this portrayal. This story is brilliant. The reason for Edward's descent into madness is creative and unique. I promise that you have never read a story quite this chilling. Edward scares me, and not much scares me. lol

He is dominant, dark and cruel. I won't lie, the things he does to Bella are very disturbing, but if you like reading the darker fics, and you can take a step back and say, "it's only fiction", you'll like this story. The author has an amazing hold on the inner workings of Darkward's warped mind and it comes through effortlessly.

The story is fourteen chapters in and Winndsinger is an awesome updater. I think I've read five updates this week. It's my new crack now that The Training is over.

Okay, so this is where I finally tell you that I am a closet Edward lover. Yep, you heard me right. I love me some Edward, especially when he's all dark and shit. And, well he is so dark in this fic that you may actually question your sanity for loving him so much. Mine Alone has extremely dark scenes with an extremely dark Edward and I love every fucking second of it. I just read the newest chapter and Winndsinger amazed me yet again. I would totally beg her to update faster, but I don't have to because she updates daily. Go ahead, you know you want to read this fuck awesome fic and when you do, you'll thank us for rec'ing it to you. Oh, let me give you a little warning though, if exteme darkness isn't your thing, don't read this story, but if it is you might wanna run on over to Winndsinger's profile page and check this fic out. She's got some other amazing stories too. Be sure to leave her some love.

Wow! This fic is indeed very dark and I'll bet you've never read an Edward like this before. If you can handle really dark fics then this is definitely one that you will enjoy. It is very well written & you can be sure that the author won't leave you hanging... you'll get your updates quick-quick. Enjoy! But don't forget to heed our disclaimers, if you're not too sure about reading it.

Friday WIP Rec - The Garden

The Garden by winterstale

Emmett/Kate

Summary -AH/OOC/M* Realizing something is missing in her world, Kate turns her scholar's mind to the issue at hand. Emmett has lost his way; his love life’s a shambles, but his professional life thrives. Their path lies before them but can they follow it?

Wow! This is one of the best fics I've read in a long time. I know it's only one chapter in, but that first chapter was amazing. I found this story through an entry to our Best Domination Ever Contest. The Request was written as a side journey to The Garden and that was just as brilliant, so if you chose to read The Garden (and I highly recommend that you do) continue on with The Request. I promise that you will fall in love with this Emmett.

So, Kate finds herself craving more then her boyfriend can give her. Through her journey, she realizes that she is a submissive. Once she connects with Emmett, her whole life changes. Like I said, it's only one chapter in, but having the advantage of reading the companion one shot gave me some insight into what is to come for these two, and I'm super excited to watch the relationship build.

This story could easily have fit under our New Stories Need Love segment too because it's a bit under appreciated. I think I know why. It's the pairing. Most people aren't going to stop and read an Emmett/Kate pairing. I'm positive that many of us wouldn't even think to seek that out, I wouldn't. I know for a fact that if the author chose Edward/Bella or Jasper/Bella her reviews counts would be soaring. So, my point here is that you have to give this story a try especially if you dig the Dom/sub stories. This one is exceptionally well written and extremely developed and thought out. I can tell just from what I've read so far. Plus, this isn't a story about being forced into the Dom/sub world. It's a consensual relationship between two adults taking what they need from one another.

This is a beautiful story and one that I fear many will miss, if not directly lead to it. Give it a try!

Okay, so I was a bit unsure when I first started reading this, but I do love me some Emmett. After reading this fic though I was completely and totally hooked. This fic was amazingly written and the author does a great job with Emmett and Kate. If you are looking for something different and completely awesome than this is the fic for you. Don't not read it because it's Emmett/Kate, read it because it is Emmett and Kate. You won't be disappointed. Winterstale is a wonderful writer and this fic deserves a lot more reviews than she has right now.

Eek, my internet has been off and on all day so I have to do this super fast! This is a fantasticly written fic that I absolutely LOVE! The o/s based off of this story is a masterpiece, and it makes this an absolute MUST read. The author has created a wonderful Emmett and Kate, and I'm sure you will love them as much as I do. Please go read it and leave this lady LOTS of love. She deserves it.

Friday WIP - Why Best Things Are Free

Why Best Things Are Free by angelchoo

Jasper/Bella

Summary - Not everything you find can be your happiness forever. Bella thought she had finally found hers. Her very own happiness lives in the flesh. Only to find out she isn't his. AH. Slight OOC.

Cullen818 - This story came to us as a New Stories Need Love request, but since it was already 15 chapters in and was published in December, it didn't really fit that category, so we decided to feature it here in this segment.

Bella and Jasper seem to have many issues to work through if their relationship is going to make it. Bella is trying to be devoted to Jasper, but he doesn't make it easy. He loves Bella, but he's going to have to find a way to make her understand it. The story is picking up speed now, and I'm curious to see where these two end up. There hasn't been an update in a while, so I'm hoping this rec will motivate the author to continue on with the story. If you're looking for an AU/AU slightly OOC fic, this one might be the one for you, especially if you like a stubborn Jasper.

JaspersDarlinKathy - So this was a story that we were asked to read and I found this to be an interesting story. I like where the author has taken Jasper and Bella in this story and I look forward to reading more chapters. I think this is a story that all would enjoy and you should head on over and read it, but make sure you leave the author some love.

WIP FIC REC - The Scarlet and the Gold

The Scarlet and the Gold by hopeforastalemate

Carlisle

Summary - A sequel to "Breaking." You must read that one first. Carlisle Cullen is a new man trying to answer a very old question. Where is the line between man and monster? The Cullens, the Volturi, and the entire vampire world are about to find out. AU story.

A few weeks ago we featured part one of this story, Breaking, in our new Stories Need Love Segment. Check out what we had to say about that one.

DISCLAIMER  -Very dark and disturbing material. If you are adverse to these fic, please skip this one, but if you are as twisted as us, please go for it.

Cullen818 - Oh Carlisle...I don't think I have ever read a Carlisle as intriguing as this one. We saw his raw side come out in Breaking and it just continues to grow in this story. He is as sexy as he is dark. And, let's just say that I've never read Aro being taught a lesson as creatively as I have in this tale. Wow! This story is only two chapters in, but it's already so well developed. I'm looking forward to seeing where hopeforastalemate leads us this time.

JaspersDarlinKathy - Holy Carlisle and Eleazar. Throw in a delicious Aro and you got yourself the perfect and absolutely delicious trio. If you haven't read Breaking then you need to, like right now, right this very second. Seriously, what are you waiting for? Hopeforastalemate has delivered this amazingly, sexy Carlisle that is unlike any other. I promise that once you read her stories that you'll be left begging and pleading for more. Don't believe me? Check out both her stories and you'll see that I'm being completely and totally honest with you. Well hurry up, get on over there and read her stuff!

TwiCarol - As the follow up to Breaking, which was a Carlisle eye-opener of note, this story looks to be just as interesting and sexy as it's predecessor. Not only has hopeforastalemate given us an OOC Carlisle that is hot as hell, but now she also gives us a rather yummy Aro to enjoy as well. Definitely worth a read. I cannot wait to see what all is in store for us in this dark, intriguing fic. Enjoy!

WIP Fic Rec - Faith In You

Faith in You by Jasper's Izzy

Jasper/Bella

Summary - Twenty years after Edward leaves Bella, the Cullen's are in trouble. Jasper is called home after being away from his family he once loved, but he has changed. Now an unknown force is out to destroy the vampire world as they all know it. J/B dark themes.

Disclaimer - This story contains very dark/mature themes. Don't like, don't read.

We know that this story was guest rec'd on this blog a few weeks ago by Jasper's Sex Kitten, but the Naughty Girls wanted a chance to weigh in as well.

Cullen818 - Wow! That's what I say when I think about this fic. Izzy has clearly out done herself with Darksper. He is all kinds of hot as a human drinking vampire who has left the Cullen coven. And Bella...well you're going to have to read this fic because you wouldn't believe it if I told you. The darkness in this story defies any other fic in this genre. It's so well developed already and I know there is so much story left to tell. I can't wait! Jasper's Izzy owns this one!

JaspersDarlinKathy - Hmm, let me see how I am going to word this rec exactly right. So, have you ever read a fic that literally grabs a hold of you and refuses to let you go? You know the one's I'm talking about right? The fics that will not, no matter what, let go of your attention. You're sitting on the edge of your seat, biting your lip, begging for an update. Oh yeah that's what this fic does. That's what happens when you start reading this fic and Jasper's Izzy definitely delivers a take on Jasper that makes you plead and beg for more. You'll see what I'm talking about, once you go read it.

TwiCarol - I love this fic so much! It starts off so well and continues on in that vein, never disappointing. Her Darksper is hotness personified, her Bella is amazingly kickass, and her storyline is original, fascinating & captivating. If you are not reading this, you are seriously missing out! And the lemon... *THUD* It is a superbly well-written story & I look forward to seeing where Jasper's Izzy is taking us on this journey with bated breath. There is no doubt in my mind that it is going to be spectacular! So what are you waiting for? Off you go... go read... go now!

Friday WIP Fic - Bound By Promises

Bound by Promises by Jasper's Izzy

Jasper/Bella

Summary - When all else is lost, Jasper makes a promise that finds himself bound to the one he hates most in the world. AU/Set During Eclipse

Please Note - That we linked this story from the fanfictionfrenzy.net website. Several more fics were pulled from FFn this week, so we just wanted to remind you as a reader that you can find MA rated fics on that site, and as a writer, you have options on where you can post. This particular story can also be found on FFn. 

Cullen818 - This intriguing and creative fic is only one chapter in, but already it shows serious promise. An overwhelming tragedy has occurred within the Cullen family, and now Jasper is left to pick up the pieces. He's bound by a promise that he knows he must keep, but at what cost? I have a feeling a little Darksper is going to be unleashed in this story.

JaspersDarlinKathy - When tragedy strikes in the Cullen family, how will Jasper carry on? A promise made, a human, and a vampire. How do they all fit together? Well you're just going to have to read to find out. Jasper's Izzy definitely has one hell of a story already and if you haven't checked it out yet, I have to wonder, what are you waiting for?

TwiCarol - Sorry that I'm a bit late adding my review in, but I'm here now! When I read the first chapter of this fic, it took my breath away! I obviously can't tell you why, but I will say brace yourselves... it's not for the faint of heart. It is exceptionally well-written & will have you hooked from the beginning. My heart broke for Jasper & I can only imagine how he is going to handle the future & the promise he has made. I am really looking forward to seeing where Izzy is going to take us on this journey. I have no doubt that it is going to be amazing.

Friday's WIP Fic on Saturday!

So as promised, here is our Friday WIP Fic Rec on Saturday...

Haunted by MaitresseSaint

Jasper/Bella

Summary - Set three years after Edward left Bella. Jasper, abandoned by the Cullen's comes across a familiar scent. Now a human drinker will he be able to resist killing his brothers one true love? J/B, AU New Moon, OOC, Rated M for graphic language and lemons.

Cullen818 - OMJ! This Jasper is bad, but he's only acting on instinct, and oh, does that make him sexy! The opening chapter gave me chills, and had me begging for more. The story is only two chapters in, but we can tell already that this Jasper is dark, sexy and gets what he wants. How will Bella react to seeing him? Only time will tell.

TwiCarol - OMJ indeed! I love it when Jasper is a bad, BAD boy and this fic certainly delivers on that. Jasper is dark and very sexy, and you'll find that Bella is pretty different too. I am really enjoying this story and I cannot wait to see what happens next. You should definitely go read it. Thanks so much for doing the Guest Review yesterday, Keira. You're a star! 

WIP Fic Review - Benson Hall

Benson Hall by MaitresseSaint

Jasper/Bella

Summary - The admin made a mistake and stuck Bella in a coed dorm. What will happen when she meets her Star Wars loving, D&D playing, bookworm roommate Jasper? Rated M for graphic language and lemons.

JaspersDarlinKathy - Do you think Geeksper is hot? Well if not, then that's because you haven't been reading Benson Hall. In this fic Bella gets to share rooms with Jasper, but it's nothing like what she expected. I won't give a way too much but I will tell you this, this is a definite must read. If you haven't read this fic yet, I have to ask, what are you waiting for? MaitresseSaint can write Geeksper like no other. Oh and let's forget Edward, shall we? MaitresseSaint delivers a very sexy and oh so tempting Edward. Oh yes, you heard me correctly. Now go on over and check out her story. You'll drool over Edward and Geeksper will cause you to need a lot of cold showers.

Cullen818 - Okay, so this isn't a dark fic, but we bring you so many dark, tortured stories that it's nice to just feature the hotness once in a while. Benson Hall certainly delivers on the hotness in the form of Geeksper. Oh, Jasper really is sexy any way he is written, especially when he is written well (thanks Maitresse)! I must say that I rather enjoy Eddie in this fic too. Go check this one out, I think you'll enjoy it!

TwiCarol - MaitresseSaint definitely writes the hottest Geeksper around. I just want to cuddle him, then corrupt him and have my wicked way with him. Benson Hall is a great fic in which Jasper and Bella are facing some obstacles on their path to happiness, and I really hope that Bella wins over Rosalie eventually. You should definitely read this fic... the sooner, the better. Enjoy!

WIP Friday Fic Rec

Innocence is Dripping Red by Echoes of Twilight

Edward/Bella

Summary - Darkward Vampfic Contest Winner: A bored and jaded Edward has his own way of spicing up his lonely existence. Rated M for graphic lemons and language. Not for the faint of heart - you have been warned.

Cullen818 - This intriguing fic was a oneshot that was written for the Darkward Vampfic Contest, but it has now been adapted into a full fic. Because it was developed as a o/s, chapter one is very well developed and can stand alone. The author has expressed concern over creating future chapters, but I can honestly say that she has nothing to worry about.

This Darkward is very scary and one of the hotter ones that I have seen. He's chilling and he certainly works in this fic. He loses control with Bella in chapter one and as we head into chapter two, we see what the consequences of his actions will be. How will Bella respond?

TwiCarol - I thoroughly enjoyed this Darkward... I could wax lyrical about how dark he is and what he does to get through his kills, but really there is just one little word that sums him up... HOT. And when he meets Bella for the first time... even hotter. And as for the lemon in chapter one... Holy Hotness Batman! *thud* This fic is well-written and draws you in, so I think it would be worth your while to check it out. Hope you enjoy it!

WIP Review... Awake in the Dark

Our WIP recommendation for this week is Awake In The Dark by Kitty Cullen-03.

Jasper/Bella

Summary - People came here for the thrill. They came for the unknown. They came for the pleasure. And it was my job to give it to them. Rated M for strong adult themes. AH/OOC

Kitty has graciously given us a teaser for chapter three...

I walked into the Museum and immediately revelled in the scent of the place. It smelled of art and history and knowledge. I came here on my days off at first just so I could have some place to go, but more recently because I enjoyed it. I wandered the halls for a while before moving on to the room that held the paintings-my favorite. Each room was staffed with an attendant, just in case someone had questions, so I glanced in that direction first. The man who usually manned the table was gone, replaced by a small brunette. Another woman was standing over her, showing her some papers-must be her supervisor. I looked back down to the woman, who was blushing and nodding, looking incredibly overwhelmed. She had long, brown hair and a small frame.

She struck me as oddly familiar.

Cullen818 -This story is two chapters in and I'm already drawn in and intrigued. Dominant Jasper...what's not to love? Jasper brings his clients pleasure, no questions asked, but will Appointment Number Four change things? I'm curious to learn all about this Jasper. He's a hottie!

TwiCarol - I absolutely adored this fic, from the moment I started reading it. I can only imagine the hotness that Kitty has in store for us. Her Jasper is a complex character and I can't wait to find out more about him.  I know it's only two chapters in, but that's all it will take to get you hooked. And if these reviews aren't enough to make you go read it immediately, all I can say to you is this... Jasper with a feather... *thud*

Jasper'sDarlinKathy - When I read the first chapter of this fic, I immediately knew that I was going to become addicted to it and in need of another chapter. And then kitty gave us chapter 2 and now I'm practically jumping up and down in anticipation waiting on chapter 3. I mean her Jasper is like this hot sex god that gives his clients the greatest pleasure and all he tells them is to not ask questions and say his name, Jasper, when they climax. What more could a girl ask for? Pleasure from our hottest, most sexiest Twilight character. Trust me when you read this fic you will see what all the fuss is about.

WIP Review

Pure Obsession by Jasper'sBlackRose

Disclaimer-This story contains some very mature adult themes. It's dark and at times can be disturbing. If you don't like that sort of thing, then don't read. You've been warned!

Jasper's Darlin' Kathy - So, have you ever read a fic that had Jasper so dark that you began to wonder what an encounter with him would be like? Well, I have and it's called Pure Obsession by Jasper'sBlackRose. When I first started reading this fic, I was like 'oh really? He is so dark and controlling.' But then I continued reading it and all I could think was, 'he is so fucking yummy and I want him for myself.' The more you read, the more you want. I am literally craving an update right now. Jasper'sBlackRose is definitely the author to deliver one hell of a Darksper and she will continue to deliver him in a way like I have never seen before. This fic is only six chapters in, but I promise you one thing, you'll be begging for more and quite possibly wishing you were Bella. I know I wish I was Bella.

Cullen818 - This is by far one of the darker Jasper fics I have read. Jasper kidnaps Bella while they are hiding from James because he had always wanted her for himself. Will Bella realize that Jasper is her true mate? Can she handle his dominant ways? The story serves up some interesting twists and introduces some pretty evil vamps. The author does a pretty interesting job of showing us exactly who Jasper is in this interpretation of him. It's an extremely erotic story, but since it's only six chapters in I'm curious to see how Bella will deal with her new life.

TwiCarol - Well, I can honestly say that I have never read a Jasper quite as dark as this one. He certainly earns the name Darksper. At first, I felt a little bad for Bella, then I remembered she had Jasper (and there may or may not have been a full body massage involved) and then I didn't feel so bad for her anymore. The author has an interesting take on the other vamps and how they fit into the story. Pretty much everyone is different than I've read them before. At only six chapters in, I'm fascinated to see where it goes from here.
