Fandom: Twilight

Rating: T

Teaser:

Edward’s brows creased together in a frown, “that’s not your cooking I can smell?” He all but ran into the kitchen, with my hand in his. Three out of our four children were standing at the table, waiting on their father’s arrival. “Ellie-Belle!” Since the day she was born, she had had Edward wrapped around her little finger, and he obeyed her every command.   

“Happy birthday, Daddy!” Nothing made my heart beat more than the sight of my husband interacting with our babies in such a loving gesture. The feeling was just as fierce when I saw them interacting with their own.

“Marco, Fin,” he slapped their shoulders in turn, “I hope you looked after your mom when I was away?”

“Of course we have, Pa.” Finley answered proudly, accepting Edward’s manly hug.  “It’s good to have you back.”

“Yeah, Dad,” Marco broke in, “it’s not the same without your moody ass around here.” 

“Moody ass? Wow, you better tame it on those insults there, Marc.” We all cracked up laughing as the two also shared their I’m-far-too-tough-to-show-any-emotion kind of hug. “And what about your brother? Is Coop coming too?”

Now, because Ellie had showed up earlier than expected and there was no chance in hiding that, we all discussed to act like Coop wasn’t coming. Edward would be bummed, but he’d accept a family dinner for his birthday nonetheless, and it would just make it that bit better when he showed up suddenly.

“Nah, afraid not, Dad,” Fin sighed, “he said something about how Leo was sick and they had to stay and keep an eye on him.” 

I had to bite back my smile and stop myself from giving Fin a pat on the back - that excuse was perfect, and something Cooper would genuinely do. “He can’t join us on my birthday because his snake is sick...?” 

“You know what Cooper is like, Daddy,” Ellie wiped her hands on the towel at her waist, “he always puts the animals first - remember his wedding day?!”

Oh Christ, Coop’s wedding day. The day before the ceremony one of his many terrifying spiders had laid their egg sac and apparently it was a process that Coop had to keep a close eye on and suggested postponing the wedding... to watch his spider shit out a yellow balloon, filled with more terrifying creatures. His poor wife, I honestly don’t know how she stayed married to him for the past six years.

Summary: The Common Deflowering scene in Black Keys. Told by Mazen's point of view.

Teaser:

Marie …

The name of the woman who had touched my heart with a tight grip since the very first moment I looked into her mesmerizing blue eyes.

The name of the woman who never failed to surprise me with a new thing with every new day.

The name of the woman whom I felt things for, things I'd never felt toward anyone before.

Marie …

The name I couldn't find the power to say out loud, because something in me felt as if it would burn my tongue with the passion of all of the emotions I felt for its owner if I dared to call it.

Marie … my princess, my beautiful princess.

Teaser: "Of Heaven and Hell" by: TwiAddictAnne

Title: Of Heaven and Hell

Author: TwiAddictAnne

Summary: “It’s just a kiss,” he said, and like the moron I am, I believed him. Why did I think that I'd be able to stop after just one kiss? Because I’m an idiot, that’s why. Kissing him felt like heaven ... but resisting him? My personal Hell.

 

 

Teaser:

“Relax, Bella,” he said softly, his lips barely brushing mine as he spoke. “It’s just a kiss.”

 

I wanted to respond with a smartass comeback, but before I could do more than inhale a lung full of air, his lips were on mine, kissing me softly with feather-light touches.

 

My lips didn’t respond to him for a few moments, my brain was busy playing catch up with the fact that he was actually kissing me; but when it did, I pressed my lips firmly to his. He closed his eyes and tightened his hold on me before kissing me again.

 

After a few moments, I separated our mouths, gasping for breath. That’s when he inched his tongue inside my mouth. Suddenly, I felt like I was alive for the first time … all my nerves felt like live wires as I clutched myself to the gorgeous boy in the closet and kissed him.

 

Again and again our lips met.

 

Again and again we tested a little bit of heaven in each other … until a beeping sound pierced through the fog that had been surrounding us.

Title: All I Want for Christmas

Author: krazi4twisaga

Rating: NC-17

Summary: They say, “If you love something, you should let it go, if comes back to you, it yours… if not, then…you get my point.” The thing was he did always came back, so why, does it still feel as if he isn’t mine? Now, all I feel I’m left with are memories and the consequences of broken promises…

Teaser: 

“Ahem…uh, Isabella,” Edward´s velvety voice called tersely, wrapping around my name like the finest of silk scarves. “My face is up here, love. If you don´t stop staring at him like that, he just might come out and bite you.”

“Promise?” I said in voice so husky, I could have sworn that alien whores had taken over my body.

What the hell am I doing?

Fuck it; I was too far gone to give a shit.

“You´re playing with fire, little girl,” he warned, eyes going from a stunning moss green to black as night in a heartbeat.

“Who says I´m playing,” I replied saucily, cocking my eyebrow in challenge.

Well, if I’m going to Hell, might as well make grand entrance.

“Fuck, little girl,” he growled, jerking me to my feet and into his arms in one fluid motion. My body was flush with his, and I could smell the sweet minty scent of his breath as it fanned across my face. “You can´t say shit like that to me, baby,” he warned in a strained voice. The feel of his hard lean body pressing against mine had my pussy dripping like a leaky faucet.

Title: Dear Cas

Author: WhisperingWolf

Rating: (Chapter Rating) PG-13

Teaser: 

She gasped at the tap on her window and looked up to find a man standing outside of her car. His dark hair and blue eyes were striking, his features beautiful, and expression compassionate. She should be afraid, she thought, but she wasn't. There was something about him that made her feel safe. It was a feeling she had experienced with only one other person in her life - her son's father. She reached for the controls on her door and rolled the window down as she studied the man, his suit and tan trench coat out of place in the area they were in.

 

"Would you prefer to sleep in the car?" he asked her, as though he were confused as to why she hadn't exited the vehicle.

 

"What?" Becca frowned and shook her head.

 

"You prayed for a place to rest," he told her matter of factly. "You did call for me."

 

"I - what?" The more he spoke, the more confused she became. 

 

"I am Castiel," he said as though speaking to a child, and watched her eyes widen. "Why does this surprise you? You have called for me multiple times."

 

"No, Cas. . ." She fell silent as she turned her head, and he followed her gaze to the child resting in the back seat. "Castiel is my son."

Meet Makenzie a Survivor

My daughter Makenzie was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in January 2013, when she was just four years old. She had no signs or symptoms of leukemia. One day, Makenzie had a sore throat and we made an appointment with her pediatrician. Turns out she did have strep throat, but an exam also revealed her spleen was very enlarged. At that point, her pediatrician did bloodwork and learned that Makenzie's white cell count was through the roof. We were sent to Texas Children’s Hospital where later that evening she was diagnosed with CML. We were informed there was no cure but it was treatable. So to this day, in our home, we always say “Thank God for strep throat.”  If it wasn’t for that appointment and her awesome pediatrician, Makenzie may not have bounced back or the results might not have been the same.

This news all came as a huge shock to our family. How could our healthy, full-of-energy little girl have leukemia? It was very hard to take it all in, as for anyone. It had a huge impact on our family and our daily lives and left a lot of “what if's?"

Makenzie is now 6 and in kindergarten and loves to dance, sing, do cheerleading, ride her bike, roller skate and just be outdoors. We recently took a trip to Colorado and learned that she is a natural at ice skating, so we may be on to something there now too! 

Currently, Makenzie takes a pill form of chemo each evening and this treatment has been working very well for her. We have gone from weekly appointments to biweekly to monthly and now we are going once a quarter. Today, there is less than 1% of leukemia detected in her blood and she is considered in molecular remission.

CML is very rare in children as it typically occurs in older adults. Although Makenzie’s leukemia is being maintained by this drug, there are still a lot of unknowns ahead of us. So this is where The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) comes into play and the funds received can help with breakthroughs on research. Makenzie’s current treatment is a testament of that. We want to thank LLS for funding blood cancer research and thanks to everyone who supports and gives to this wonderful organization.

Teaser: "For Her Love" by ClaireBamboozle

Title: "For Her Love"  

Author: ClaireBamboozle

Twilight fandom

Rating: M

Pairing: Emmett/Rose 

Summary: A Ride and Prejudice outtake. Fresh from prison, Emmett McCarty decides to follow his heart and heads for Forks, home to his ex-cell mate and his broken, and beautiful sister. Contains spoilers if the main fic hasn't been read before. 

Teaser:

Like a game of cat and mouse, her gaze would land on anything as an excuse not to have to look at me. I was more than a little hurt she’d retreated so far back into herself and now seemed wary of me. The last time she'd visited me in prison, the first in so many years, she'd come because I'd asked her, not Edward. I’d stared deep into her eyes while I held her hand and told her I knew her secret. She didn't reply but gripped my hand tighter with tears in her eyes while I swore never to judge or push her. I meant it, too…every single word. To me, it had felt like we had a strong connection only now it looked like I’d been easier for her to deal with when there was a table set up between us.

She wasn't dressed at all fancy today, wearing no make-up and with her blonde hair pulled back into a plastic spider clip but, to me, she was the most beautiful woman in the world…always had been. Sharing this small space without any rules or nosy guards to interfere, the possibility actually existed of being able to fulfill the fantasies I'd cultivated over the years of my sentence. Suddenly, I was hyper aware of her breathing and how it made her breasts lift and fall beneath the cream cotton of her sweater.

My mouth went dry.
