*Spoilers follow*
I didn’t have high expectations for this story when I started it. I honestly thought it would be another annoyingly sweet story about Bella and Edward and I would be forced to abandon ship within a couple chapters.
I am so glad I was wrong!
Bella falls for Edward at Alice and Jasper’s wedding. Though she is in a relationship with James at the time, she realizes she doesn’t love him and needs to break up with him. In an effort to not cheat on James even though she knows she plans to break up with him as soon as she gets home, she tries to resist Edward. Obviously, it doesn’t work, but if it had, the story probably wouldn’t be half as good. Then, bombs drop when Bella returns home from the wedding and things get hella complicated.
This fic constantly keeps me on my toes and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Edward Wallbanger by Feathersmmmm
Title: Edward Wallbanger
Author: feathersmmmm

Summary: Bella moves into a fantastic apartment building in San Francisco. Guess who lives next door? With walls this thin, the tension is gonna be thick...

*Spoilers follow*
In this story, Edward has three women that he has sex with (not at the same time, but I’m sure he’s probably done that at some point). The problem is that he and his lady friends are so loud when they get busy that poor Bella and her cat, Clive, can’t sleep.
The first three or four chapters of the Bang Bang (as I sometimes call this story in my head) are probably some of the funniest I’ve ever read in Twilight fanficdom…maybe ever. The story is told mainly from Bella’s POV and I laughed hysterically when she described the sounds coming through her wall.
After those first few chapters, it’s still funny but as the harem dwindles and the romance heightens, I find that I’m not giggling as much as I used to, which sucks, but it’s still high on the list of my favorite ExB stories (yes, I have a list. Sue me.)
Something to note: Feathersmmmm twists some of the character relationships that we as readers are expecting. I don’t want to give too much away because I, personally, found that the surprise in how the characters were connected was part of what held my interest in the story, but for my Jake lovers, just know that he’s taken and Leah is nowhere in that picture.
P.S. My favorite character is Clive…and I’m not even a cat person.

Help Wanted by Jaxon22

*Spoilers follow*
So… I didn’t love this story, but I didn’t hate it either. My main problem was that there was sex every chapter and there are like 60 chapters so after a while I just started skipping over the sex to get back to the story. The story itself was ok.
Jake was in it, his presence was minimal (boo) but he wasn’t an asshole (YAY!), hence the rating of 10.
At first, Edward is predictably a douche, but once he warms up he’s almost saccharin sweet.
There are a few hilarious moments and a few angsty moments, but it’s mainly sugary sweet sexy times. If you need an escape into Edward and Bella LaLa land, this is the fic to read.

Okay, so I wish this is how New Moon had turned out. It’s WAAAAAY more interesting. Bella actually gets bitten by Laurent and gets away before the wolves come back for her. She turns and then has to figure out what her eternal life will look like since she can’t go back to Charlie.
The characters seem pretty much cannon, though I was disappointed with Bella and the Cullens from time to time in the manner they treated Jacob, who did nothing wrong. That’s vamps for you, I guess.
Jake is a 10 because he’s still pretty awesome and even offers to run away with Bella after she’s turned. He still loves her, despite the fact that she’s undead, and hates Edward, but who would blame him?
Edward is a 9 only because he just showed up in the last chapter and has lost his mind. For real. Bella came to him to bring him back to his family and he calls her a demon. It’s crazy, but I’m sure he’ll make it to the 10 spot quickly.

Jake fans—there is absolutely no love for you here. Although I tend to separate Jacob from any negative characters authors put him in, so it’s not too bad if you can just completely distance yourself from the name. This character doesn't resemble Jacob in the slightest with personality or actions, so it's pretty easy.
*SPOILERS FOLLOW*
This story was so flip-floppy with emotions, I seriously thought I would get whiplash. But in a good way. It was highly fluffy, in the sense that Edward and Bella’s relationship only had flaws in the sense that they didn’t see how much one cared for the other. On the other end of the spectrum, it was highly angsty, considering that Bella’s entire family was out to get her. The story comes out (although not graphic other than describing after-effects) that Phil raped Bella as a teenager, and Renée convinced herself that Bella seduced him, and sent him off to live with Charlie. Charlie is a controlling and emotionally abusive father who would love nothing more to see Bella marry a controlling and emotionally abusive Jake. The only real neutral character that’s present is Billy, who—I believe I read at one point—actually sided with Bella. Once Charlie and Jake coerced someone to issue a marriage license without Bella’s presence—or even signature—they got married and lived together at UW. Bella becomes pregnant with Jake’s son, Charlie, and this whole time both he and Charlie Sr. are convinced that Bella is under substance abuse, which is why she’s being so difficult in the marriage.
In any case… now that I’ve completely ruined the plotline for you, you should totally go read it! Hahaha. No, I’m just kidding… that’s just the back story, and it’s not exactly a secret.

*SPOILERS FOLLOW (but not too bad)*
This story is about two people who are insecure in very different ways. It touches on a lot of different subjects, and is super angsty. You read it and feel like you’re going through the beginning of a relationship—you know how you feel but are afraid of it, for fear it will just get up and pathetically walk away, leaving you with a gaping hole.
I’m still recovering and am going to jump into a fluffy nonsense story to fully heal, so I’ll just get to what I needed to say about the readability.
The only issue I had, I’m sure was the fault of FF.net. They have successfully removed most scene dividers, only leaving a standard paragraph break (I am having to go through my entire fic and re-upload it so it actually makes sense again without them). So when you’re reading a scene in one paragraph and then it jumps to something else completely, it throws you for a loop. Just keep that in mind, and you’ll be fine.

No need for spoilers here—everything you need to know is in the summary. If you’ve read The Submissive, then you know what’s going to happen, it just gives you a lot more love for Edward, since you’re now inside his mind.
No need to worry about Jake, unless you want to see him as human. Here, Jake is a rescued Siberian Husky, which would totally bother me if it were the other way around, and Edward were portrayed as a Jack Russell Terrier, I’d be really upset, so I guess I’m working off of a double-standard. Oh well. Hahaha.
