WW's Fic Rec Friday

Happy Friday you guys! I, for one, could not be more relieved that this week is now drawing to a close. Before I get started on my recs, I have a few newsworthy items I'd like to call out.

First, a few of my Sisters and I will be attending Comic Con in a couple weeks! We could not be more excited to see Rob - I mean, the New Moon panel, but what put me into overdrive was the announcement yesterday that there will also be a Twilight Fanfiction panel held on Saturday the 25th! The panel is hosted by some of the fandom's most respected and effing awesome authors: AngstGoddess003, tby789, Manyafandom, Ninapolitan, psymom, amercnxidiot, bella c'ella luna, bethaboo, and lolashoes. I am positively giddy with anticipation.

On a related note, we are still accepting donations to help AngstGoddess003 with her Comic Con costs. She is going regardless, but as the TLYDF's blog funds don't extend to travel costs, she, like the rest of the authors, is funding the trip on her own. She's flying clear across the country to make it here to impart some fuckawesome fanfiction knowledge on us, so if you're able, help her and the blog out!



Secondly... I got the opportunity to write a guest review on the Perv Pack's Smut Shack for Confessions of a Nanny written by the absolutely lovely Melissa228. I was so flattered and excited to be asked! It just goes to show you that shameless stalking on the internets does pay off sometimes.

Ok, enough babbling... on with the recs!

Let Your Light Shine / A Life Extraordinary by Lolashoes
RATED: M for mature themes, language and sexual situations
::Ff.net:: ::Twilighted:: ::Twilighted Forum::


Summary: My version of the honeymoon after Bella joined Edward in the water - this is what we all wanted to read! Edward opens up and let's go of his fears. Lots of B/E LEMONS and fun couple banter. M RATED - some pretty graphic language and scenes.

Let Your Light Shine is a FANTASTIC take on the Breaking Dawn (failgasm of a) honeymoon. It is a HEAPING dose of lemony goodness; so hot and steamy that at times I needed to walk away from my computer and take a breather, but even through all the dirty sex and consuming passion, the love shines through. She writes their connection amazingly well, and, in my opinion, better than Stephanie Meyer. Bella and Edward actually *gasp* communicate with one another about their wants and needs - and not only sexually. They talk about what she wants to do with the rest of her life and even - SHOCK - about her change, and how she would like it to happen. And the way Lola writes this change is nothing short of amazing; poignant and passionate and everything it should have been in Breaking Dawn. I had tears in my eyes, and this cold hearted SOB is not a crier.

A Life Extraordinary is the sequel to Let Your Light Shine, detailing Bella's life with the Cullens after she is changed. I don't want to give away any of the details and spoil it for you, but the power Lola has constructed for Bella is fantastic; original and interesting. There are so many facets to it, and I am amazed at her ability to weave it into the storyline gracefully, making nothing obvious or cliched. The relationship between Bella and Edward is intense (probably a gross understatement there) and passionate, yet never loses the tenderness and love that can sometimes fall by the wayside when the heat gets turned up.

Lola just completed A Life Extraordinary - on a cliffie! - and promises to have its sequel out in the fall. I am already out of mind with anticipation, and I only just started reading these last Friday. However, she has promised us outtakes of LYLS and ALE to tide us over while we wait. Thank god.

Your homework for this week is to read these and report back to me. Extraordinary is truly an understatement when it comes to this fic.
